A quiet shift is taking place in the administrative landscape of the country. Strong signals indicate that the once all-too-powerful and highly sought-after IAS officers for critical positions may not hold sway over the administration of India in the coming years. The Narendra Modi-led government, it appears, does not want to hand over the reins to only one service. Earlier this year, speaking on the floor of the House, Prime Minister Modi demonstrated his displeasure at the way the civil servants, IAS officers in particular, had been functioning. “Officers will do everything.

The United Nations Population Fund has cautioned that a large proportion of the global population will shift to city regions by 2050 (UNFPA 2008).

Another study, Mckinsey (2018), indicates that in the following 15 years, around 200 million people will transition from rural to urban areas. This projected shift will be enormous – almost equal to existing populations of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom combined. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his Independence Day speech, related population explosion to patriotism and a ..read more

Government need to encourage startups and entrepreneurs to fill the gap in social media apps. Ever since 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in a fight against Chinese expansionism near Galwan, Line of Actual Control (LAC), India has gone aggressive with its security protocols.

Besides, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been quite vocal about promoting Atmanirbhar Bharat (an upgraded ..read more

China claims sovereignty over the Galwan valley. India can’t submit to Chinese expansionism.

Kuwait has become the 4th West Asian country after Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to reject attempts to spoil ties with India through “foreign sponsored” social media handles and posts. As India fights the COVID-19 pandemic aggressively by effective enforcement of lockdown, Pakistani intelligence in a coordinated effort is trying to fuel anti-India sentiment, through a spike in social media messages particularly in the Gulf countries. There has been a systematic rise in fake propaganda which clearly shows imprints of the involvement of Pakistan ISI-desperate attempts to defame India. The Kuwaiti ..read more
