India’s P75(I) Submarine Program: Overcoming Challenges for Naval Excellence

For two and a half decades, India has stumbled and dithered with its submarine development programmes. A combination of structural inefficiencies, budgetary changes, tendering problems, delays, and institutional ad-hocism have hindered India’s submarine manufacturing ambitions. It is now time for India to reinvigorate its arc on submarine building. 

Clearing the Air: India’s National Clean Air Programme and the Path Forward

The National Clean Air Programme is a pollution-control initiative that was started by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) in 2019 with the goal of reducing the concentration of coarse (particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 micrometres, or PM10) and fine (particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres, or PM2.5) particles by at least 20% over the course of the following five years, using 2017 as the baseline year for comparison.

Jan Vishwas Bill: 2022

The Jan Vishwas bill was recently passed and made into Law. It claimed to promote trust-based governance, ease of living and business, and enhancement of individual liberty. It attempts to do so by decriminalization of various offenses, periodic increase in penalties, and creation of new adjudicating officers overseeing penalties. As the Bill has recently been passed, we do not have empirical evidence of the policies. While the bill claim to achieve a lot, it isn’t entirely clear whether it is up to the challenge. There are also certain interesting changes made by the Jan Vishwas Bill, which may not entirely come under the ethos of the Bill. A critical analysis of the Bill, with arguments and evidence from various sources will helps us understand it better, and point out any possible concerns and flaws in the Bill.
