Turning Connections to Impact

Turning Connections to Impact

Photo: Young girls gather together for a sexual health class with SNEHA, an NGO supported by UNDP, inside the Dharavi slum in Mumbai. A year ago, someone asked me, “So what does a connector do?”. This question was asked in jest, a dig at my title at Plus Social Good that suggested that I was ‘connected’ to a lot of people around the world. At the time, I couldn’t answer her. The truth was, it was new to me. I didn’t know what being a connector could translate to other than “connections”. It was at the recent India + Social Good event that I had a chance to witness the true power that a connector has in translating ideas to impact. While the event power-packed with great...Read More

planning commission

modi plans to downsize planning commission.
 better late than never.

what has planning commission achieved so far ?
other than publishing lengthy research papers
and adding a few new  words to the dictionary.

that is if u r ready to overlook the immense delays
planning commission introduced in the planning
process in india. for reasons ranging from academic
ambivalence to egoistic shadow fights. from unupdated
political philosophy  to stubborn insistence on ignoring
ground realities.

forget the past . let us experiment planning without the
commission . heavens will not fall. no doubt about it.

nothing wrong in allowing planning commission to
continue the work which they know . of publishing
research papers and holding international  seminars.
but let them not be vested with the power to sanction
( read delay or deny) development  plans of india




railway fare hike

may be the manner in which it was done is not correct. but rail fare hike is not such a great disaster. let us see if the govt can bring down prices and hold it down. that is more important. there are ways in which the govt can do it. even after the inflationary pressure induced by railway fare hike. let us give the govt a longer honey moon of say six months

article 370 ... more

article 370 debate is down and almost  out.
that is the beauty of the media. why hold on
to such difficult subjects when there are
more scintillating topics aplenty .
one thing that baffled me for long is this and
in the name of the state. j and k. since j and k
are adjacent alphabets j and k sounds great.
but why this and ? why cant jammu and kashmir
each stand alone ?
therein probably lies a story which is forgotten
too soon . may be it is time to reread that story
and debate rewriting it.
