Digital Tourism Platform (2024) and Data-Driven Destination Governance in India 

India’s tourism system has always been characterized - in the language of none less than the Ministry of Tourism’s own task force - as extremely fragmented, where the country’s Central departments, its state tourism bodies, and many private players have operated separate, incompatible data and service-management infrastructure. This diagnosis took official form for the first time in the National Digital Tourism Mission (NDTM) report,

Citizen financial cyber fraud reporting and management system (CFCFRMS): strengthening India’s response to digital financial fraud

India’s rapid expansion of digital payments has increased the speed and convenience of financial transactions, but it has also created new avenues for cyber-enabled financial fraud. Since fraudulent funds can be siphoned off quickly, timely reporting and immediate intervention are critical to preventing further financial loss. The Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS) was specifically launched to enable immediate reporting of financial frauds and prevent fraudsters from siphoning off funds (Press Information Bureau, 2026).

Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (2016): Assessing a Decade of Safer Motherhood

On 9 June 2016, the Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA), a scheme built on a deceptively simple premise: that if every pregnant woman in the country were examined by a qualified physician and appropriately investigated at least once during her second or third trimester, a measurable share of preventable maternal and neonatal deaths could be averted.

India’s Climate Solutions and Way Forward

India stands at a critical juncture in addressing the climate crisis, where the imperatives of development, energy security, climate resilience and social justice increasingly intersect. While the country has undertaken several commitments towards mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions and transitioning towards a low-carbon economy, the impacts of climate change are already being experienced through extreme weather events, agricultural losses, disruptions to livelihoods and growing vulnerabilities among marginalised communities.

Climate Disasters in India: Extreme Events, Risks and Resilience

Climate disasters are risks closely linked to climatic conditions and climate change. These include extreme events such as heatwaves, floods, cyclones, and droughts, as well as other climate hazards. Although such events may have natural causes, the extent of their impact is strongly influenced by human exposure, vulnerability, environmental degradation, development patterns, and the capacity of institutions and communities to respond. The need to understand such climatic disasters has increased as extreme events increasingly affect livelihoods, infrastructure, public health, agriculture, ecosystems, and even economic activity.

Namami Gange 2.0  (2021-2026) : Assessing River Rejuvenation, STP Infrastructure and Community Participation Policy

The Ganga supports more than 400 million people. It gives them water to drink, land to farm, and a reason to pray. But it also carries the waste of cities, factories, and towns along its 2500 km stretch. That is the core problem. For many years, cleaning the Ganga has been a national priority. In 2014, the Namami Gange Mission was launched.

SANKALP Scheme, 2018: Strengthening Institutional Capacity for Skill Development

The Government of India approved the Skill Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion (SANKALP) scheme through the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) in October 2017 and launched it on 19 January 2018. Implemented by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) with loan assistance from the World Bank, SANKALP forms part of India's broader Skill India Mission, alongside flagship schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), and the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF). While these other schemes focus on direct skills training, apprenticeship engagement, or standardizing qualifications respectively, SANKALP was designed to address a different, structural gap: the absence of a strong institutional architecture connecting skill development efforts at the Central, State, and District levels, essentially the administrative backbone that other schemes rely on to function effectively at the ground level.
