In states across the country, especially Rajasthan

In states across the country, especially Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, access to common lands or commons, is essential for local communities. These lands are central to the communities' livelihoods, their security and their dignity.

But commons have been subject to encroachments time and again, by a variety of stakeholders—communities, governments, businesses and more. And resolving these conflicts is never easy, as witnessed by a mounting number of cases in Rajasthan.

To address these conflicts and speed up the resolution process, the Rajasthan High Court ordered the formation of Public Land Protection Cells (PLPCs). So how can these PLPCs actually make a difference to communities that rely on commons? We explore with Pooja Chandran from the Foundation for Ecological Security, and Puspa Sen from Jan Chetna Sansthan, to find out more.

The ‘Learn to Code’ mania risks diminishing the need for Computer Science Education as a subject in Indian schools. There is now a need to address the growing popularity generated by profit making EdTechs that do not focus on making learning accessible or equitable. However, existing low-cost scalable computer science education is helping children relate computational learning with their social realities and problems. Here’s how.

How easy it is to get pregnant? Movies and TV show

How easy it is to get pregnant? Movies and TV shows would have us believe that the process of getting pregnant is a walk in the park. The reality is far from that. Falling fertility rates in India have led to more couples seeking assistance from reproductive experts. What is causing the increasing infertility? And what can be done about it?

Blockchain technology is hailed as the next big re

Blockchain technology is hailed as the next big revolution in the tech industry. Its adoption has been fast and widespread so far, with applications ranging from cryptocurrencies to real estate to lending and much more.

But blockchain also has the potential to create and enhance social impact, in many different forms. Transparency, for example, is a huge virtue of this technology and the Telangana government has used this technology as its base to secure and update land records. The state also has aspirations to make Hyderabad, its capital, as the “blockchain capital of the world”.

So what exactly is all this noise around blockchain for? How can it help redefine industries? And moreover, how can it be applied for social good? We spoke to Raj Kapoor, founder of the India Blockchain Alliance and a senior advisor to project SEA, to find out.
