It’s been ten years since the Paris Agreement and the Presidency at COP30 in Belem launched the Global Mutirao as a part of its Belem political package that came along with matters on global stocktake, adaptation fund, reports and mitigation programmes (Belem Political Package, UNFCCC, 2025). The Global Mutirao, a key element in the package, was signed on by all the 195 participating countries. It is a commitment that seeks international cooperation to accelerate climate action and shows that the Paris Agreement is working, but it needs to do more and faster. (UNEP, 2025)

The National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) was launched by the Government of India in December 2013 to address a basic problem: the country had no common way to compare a diploma, an ITI certificate, and skills picked up informally on the job. As an outcome and competency-based framework, NSQF organizes qualifications across a series of levels defined by learning outcomes, the knowledge, skills, and aptitude a person must demonstrate, regardless of whether that learning happened through formal education, non-formal training, or informal experience. This let millions of Indians who had gained skills outside the classroom get that learning formally recognized through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

In the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir there was a three-tier system of local government provided for by the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act of 1989. The system consisted of three levels: the Halqa Panchayat (HP) at the village level, the Block Development Council (BDC) at the block level, and the District Planning and Development Board (DPDB) at the district level.However, for many years the structure remained incomplete since the grassroot level of governance were seldom filled by election. Following the abolition of Article 370 in August 2019, the domain came under considerable national attention ,after prolonged time grassroot level of elections were conducted in such successfull manner.
