India-France Partnership: Beyond Land

Their established ties rest on a foundation of common values and goals.
The celebration by India and France of 25 years of their strategic partnership (January 26) presents an important opportunity for both to introspect on their relations. Signed in 1998, the time-tested strategic partnership has continued to gain momentum over shared values and aspirations of peace, stability and, most importantly, their desire for strategic autonomy.

The US-China Balloongate Moment

After years of talking about a new Cold War, the world got to see its one glimpse a few days back when a Chinese spy balloon floated in American airspace, only to be blown to smithereens, but not before leaving enormous debris in its wake. There are, of course, the remains of the balloon that the US agencies will be studying carefully. But it also led to the demise of some nascent optimism about a possible détente between the two major global powers. It was great spectacle for sure, but more than that, it was a testament to these trying times in global politics when nothing really is what it seems.

Can Digitisation of School Education be a Reality in India?

India is still not fully ready for the digitisation of education, especially school education, as has been the thrust of this year’s budget on education. Laying down bare statistics, Dr Protiva Kundu highlighted that 67% of schools in India have functional electricity and its connection ranges from about 25% in Manipur to 100 % in Delhi. Only 16% of schools have digital access and barely 1.2% of schools have digital libraries. About 40% of teachers have computer literacy. Dr Kundu was speaking at a panel discussion titled ‘Education and Union Budget, 2023-24’, organised by IMPRI Impact and Policy Research Institute, New Delhi on February 5, 2023 under #IMPRI Center for ICT for Development (CICTD).
