Why India must measure its Gulf Remittance Risk 

Every month, millions of Indian workers in the Gulf send part of their wages home to their families. Each transfer is a private choice made by one household. Added together, they form one of the most significant financial relationships India has with any region. In 2023-24 India received a record $118.7 billion in inward remittances, and the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries sent about 38% of it. Around half of all Indian migrants abroad live in the GCC, and between 2010-11 and 2023-24 remittances paid for roughly 42% of India's merchandise trade deficit in a typical year (Reserve Bank of India, 2025). Even so, policy debate usually treats this money as a statistic to report rather than a dependency to manage.

Sustainable Mobility Vs Global Transitions

The human race, the anthropocene, has deeply integrated itself into every system while moulding itself into a better one. Governance and legal systems, economic and market systems, infrastructural and technological systems, socio-cultural systems, ecological and natural systems have always influenced each other too. However, they are bound by ecological limits or the greater concept of limits to growth that restrain the resources, driving scarcity to reform a global transition.

A Spatial Perspective on Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi.

Unauthorised colonies have grown throughout Delhi for many decades. An unauthorised  colony is defined as a settlement that has emerged without the necessary approvals concerning  the layout, land use, or building plan (MoHUA, 2019). As per the Government of Delhi, the  unauthorised colonies have been developing from the very beginning of the planned  development of Delhi. The large-scale migration and shortage of affordable housing  contributed to their development (Department of Urban Development, Government of NCT of  Delhi [UD Delhi], n.d.).

Safeguarding Women and Children Online, The Cyber Crime Prevention Scheme (CCPWC) Scheme, 2018.

India's digital expansion has brought a darker companion: stalking, sextortion, morphed images, fake profiles and child sexual abuse material. By 2018 it was clear that police stations, forensic facilities and courts had not kept pace. Policing is a State subject, and most State forces lacked both trained personnel and the tools to handle digital evidence.

Bharatmala Pariyojana: Strengthening India’s Road Connectivity and Logistics Network.

Bharatmala Pariyojana is a flagship highway development programme of the Government of India, launched in 2017 under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). The programme was introduced in response to several structural gaps in India’s highway network. These included the inadequate optimisation of the National Highway network due to resource constraints and the absence of a comprehensive national plan, limited integrated planning for connecting major economic corridors and ports with their hinterlands, persistent congestion points even along developed corridors, and inadequate accident-response infrastructure (MoRTH, 2017).
