    Digital, UPI fraud on the rise; protect yourself
    2024/09/13
    India’s embrace of digital banking and UPI have made it a leader of technologically-enabled financial inclusion. However, fraudsters have also seized it as an opportunity to steal from unsuspecting users and carry our sophisticated scams. This has left law enforcement agencies struggling to keep up with the rising number of crimes, and regulators rushing to improve financial literacy.

  • Rape epidemic in educational institutions needs urgent attention

    Rape epidemic in educational institutions needs urgent attention
    2024/09/06
    The sexual assault epidemic raging across the country is now making its presence felt in educational institutions, from those of higher learning to primary schools. Over the years, the gender safety guidelines for schools, colleges and universities have been largely ignored and there is little emphasis on gender respect and sex education programmes. Couple that with our centuries-old patriarchy, a faltering criminal justice system and tendency to victim shame, and what you have is a situation in which female students are constantly at risk while the perpetrators feel emboldened.

  • Land registry, digitisation of records could be a gamechanger

    Land registry, digitisation of records could be a gamechanger
    2024/08/30
    If implemented right, the establishment of a land registry, digitisation of records and unique land parcel identification numbers could reduce the number of land disputes, ease land transactions, facilitate flow of agricultural credit and provide a significant boost to the GDP. However, there are several challenges in the form of poor capacity at the local level, lack of standards for mapping and conflicting regulations at the state and Central levels.

    Sea level rises, intensifying cyclones will hit India hard
    2024/08/23
    As sea levels rise, the Indian coastline is in danger of severe erosion, land inundation and farmland turning saline. In fact, sea levels along the Indian coast are rising faster than the global average. This is sparking rural-urban migration and causing serious socio-economic problems. Unless greenhouse gas emissions are curbed, the future of coastal populations seems bleak. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Concerns over food safety on the rise
    2024/08/16
    A study shows that consumers are increasingly worried about the safety of the food they consume and most have low confidence in Indian regulators. The banning of products of popular Indian spice makers MDH and Everest by Singapore and Hong Kong, and subsequent investigations by other governments, only added to the worry. How effective is Indian food regulation and what can be done now? Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter. Please listen to the latest episode of @allindianscount.

  • Disability inclusion would serve as a beacon of social cohesion

    Disability inclusion would serve as a beacon of social cohesion
    2024/08/12
    More than 2.68 crore Indians live with disabilities – that’s more than the entire population of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. However, an inclusive ecosystem that doesn’t ensure just respect but also empowerment of people with disabilities remains elusive. Such an ecosystem would span comprehensive rehabilitation services, rights, entitlements, equal opportunities and dignity. After all, disability inclusion means understanding how people function and participate in society, ensuring everybody has the same opportunities in every aspect of life. Dr Senthil Kumar NS, CEO of the Association of People with Disability, speaks to All Indians Matter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Unjust denial of bail a threat to personal liberty, reforms urgently needed

    Unjust denial of bail a threat to personal liberty, reforms urgently needed
    2024/08/09
    Unjustified denial of bail and continuous postponement of related hearings are a serious threat to individual liberty. Bail is a critical component of the criminal justice system, so decisions about it should aim to harmonise protection of individual liberties with the demands of justice. The Supreme Court has in the past issued directives to ensure ‘bail, not jail’ as a guiding principle. However, this is not practised consistently by courts. So, India needs comprehensive bail reform that does not leave out disadvantaged groups. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter. Learn more about your ad choices.
