Crores have been spent by various state government Crores have been spent by various state governments on different policies to ‘develop’ the Yamuna and bring it back to life. In the process, such schemes disenfranchise those communities that have lived by the river for generations. As ‘encroachers’ are evicted to ‘beautify’ the riverbank under different initiatives, ultimately, the Yamuna remains as polluted as ever.

Ever since it was announced in the 2020-21 Budget Ever since it was announced in the 2020-21 Budget Session, Life Insurance Corporation's (LIC) IPO has been the talk of the town. As per recent reports, the Central Government is looking at a valuation of Rs. 15 trillion for the organisation, and is offering 5% of its shares to be traded on the stock market. This will bring in approximately Rs. 40,000-50,000 crores to the government, which it plans to use for national investment.
But there have been several questions about this move; will opening up LIC to private shareholders erode the public service ethos that the organisation was set up with? Does the government really need LIC to go for an IPO to realise its national investment goals? And will the IPO enable LIC to expand its reach and get more Indians insured?
In our latest edition of On The Fence, we spoke to Ashvin Parekh (Managing Partner, Ashvin Parekh Advisory Services) and P. Satish (President, South Central Zone Insurance Employees Federation) to understand this debate.

As schools shut across India in order to prevent t As schools shut across India in order to prevent the spread of the third wave of the COVID19 pandemic, millions of students have (and are on the verge of) returned to digital education and schooling formats. But, past experience shows that students prefer to learn in classrooms, not on their phones or laptops.
Last month, @ann__div and @manasinene went to two schools in Bengaluru to understand the impact of school closures, barriers that teachers and students faced online, and what the path ahead can look like. Link to the video in the bio!
