Defence and Union Budget

Insights, Center for Human Dignity and Development, Center for the Study for Finance and Economics, Economy and Infrastructure, Science and Technology

Budget made for capital expenditure must increase if India is to keep pace with China's rising military might. India’s tumultuous and volatile strategic environment showed no signs of abating in intensity. New Delhi continues to face a two-front challenge from both of its primary foes, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Pakistan, notwithstanding the latter’s recent conciliatory overtures, which are only a smokescreen to tide over its dire economic vulnerabilities.

How Technology Access and Climate Gap Impact CO2 Removal?

Insights, Center for Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Development, Center for Human Dignity and Development, Center for International Relations and Strategic Studies, Environment, Energy, Climate Change and Sustainable Development, International Relations and Strategic Studies, Science and Technology

The global cleavage on climate change is essentially between those that have grown rich enough to be climate-resilient and those that are not. The way to bridge this gap is not to set up any Loss and Damage Fund, but to spend any money that the rich countries have to spare on sucking carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere.

The Need for IndOS: A Choice for a Fair Competition?

Insights, Center for ICT for Development, Economy and Infrastructure, Entrepreneurship, ICT and Innovation, Science and Technology

The government wants to create a mobile operating system (OS) to compete with the dominant Android, owned by Google, and Apple’s iOS operating systems that have pretty much divided up the global smartphone market (Chinese tech major Huawei uses its own Harmony operating system on its phones after US President Donald Trump ordered Google to deny Android to companies that violated the sanctions against Iran). The government has even come up with a name for it: IndOS.

Evidence-Driven GM Policies Needed to Burst Myths

Insights, Agriculture, Food, Nutrition Security and Rural Development, Public Policies, Programs and Schemes, Science and Technology

Scientific policy-making should be solely based on valid evidence and scientific merit and not be driven by a stand either for or against GM crops. Foremost is the task of allaying the fears surrounding GM mustard so that everybody can be part of this revitalized ‘yellow revolution’ without any ambiguity.
