To become a $5 trillion economy by 2025, India is To become a $5 trillion economy by 2025, India is heavily relying on private infrastructure investment across sectors. The government has been rolling out several policies, regulations and tenders to encourage private investments. In recent times, these projects have overlooked citizen inputs and the environment. Lack of effective due diligence and safeguards could result in the concentration of India's public assets in the hands of a few leading to the exploitation of common people and small investors. More than ever before, there is a need for legal, regulatory, and conflict resolution systems.
This article is the first of #FinancingDevelopment, a series analysing the finances behind India’s development journey, in collaboration with the Centre for Financial Accountability.

Due to the pandemic and prolonged school closures, Due to the pandemic and prolonged school closures, a village in Maharashtra’s Mahabaleshwar block was forced to rethink children's learning outcomes. With the help of the panchayat, parents and families, and block-level administration, a school teacher is painting the walls with alphabets, numbers, synonyms and more. Here’s the story of Khingar village’s initiative of engaging parents to bring education closer to home.

A recent report published by the Centre for Financ A recent report published by the Centre for Financial Accountability (CFA) draws attention to infrastructure and development projects in Protected Areas. Between 2015 and 2019, several environmental and wildlife clearances have been granted to projects that raise fundamental questions about the intended beneficiaries, socio environmental impacts, and available alternatives. The ongoing debate on development v/s conservation calls for assessing the growing impact of development projects in Protected Areas and ensuring they are financially accountable.
