Tatsat Chronicle - December 2021

في هذه القضية

In this issue, we have focused on the political and development scenario of the Indian State of Uttrakhand. Moreover, in this issue, bold declarations on reducing emissions and attempting to cater for an overheating Earth made at COP26, the climate conference in Glasgow were quickly diluted with major polluters like the United States, Europe and China either unwilling to stump up the cash required to initiate major changes in emission levels, or towards reducing them over a manageable timescale. Lip service continues to be paid towards the cause of the environment but the next generation of Earth’s inhabitants, the youth, are clearly far from satisfied with what the “leaders” of the planet have proposed thus far.

In like vein, we present a snapshot of the lopsided development, of the Blue Mountains or Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu that fell victim to misplaced attempts at development and to political expediency, and where now efforts are geared towards redressing the balance. While much has been achieved, a great deal remains to be done in an area that can provide a roadmap to restore other fragile and ecologically rich micro-environments.

Tatsat Chronicle Magazine Description:

Tatsat Chronicle is India's first Social Sector focused magazine covering 360-degree news and views of Social Welfare, Social Development, CSR-Philanthropy and Conservation-Sustainability in India and abroad

The social sector is one of the fastest-growing sectors in India. Given the current size of the social sector—accounting for approximately 8.8 percent of India’s GDP in spending terms—and the number of people who are directly and indirectly involved with this field, it doesn’t have a robust media platform that engages with the various stakeholders involved in this sector. It’s this gap that Tatsat Chronicle intends to fill and carve out a niche.

The print magazine will have a monthly frequency, while the digital platform will be updated with news, analysis, opinion, insight, and blogs on a daily basis. Overall, Tatsat Chronicle will offer a deep dive into the rapidly evolving social sector space for a better understanding and appreciation of the work being done by various stakeholders towards creating a more equitable society. It will shine the spotlight on the most important issues that impact the social sector.

Objective

The main objective of Tatsat Chronicle is to inform, engage, and stimulate readers with ideas, case studies, and well-researched insight, covering the entire gamut of social sector activities in India. The digital platform of the magazine will be an enhanced version of the print edition. Tatsat Chronicle will act as a facilitator for debate and discussion.

Our Editorial Pillars

The edifice of Tatsat Chronicle will rest on four editorial pillars. There are:

Social Welfare: The role of the State in delivering social goods to its citizens.
