Tatsat Chronicle - April 2022

In this issue

In this issue, take a critical look at the complex issues plaguing India’s agriculture sector, which provides maximum employment.

Another critical issue is India’s commitment to achieving the net-zero carbon emissions target by 2070, which was made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at COP26 in Glasgow last November. For achieving the ambitious target, India must invest massively in non-fossil fuel-based energy sources. The government seems to be moving in this direction by declaring that it will issue sovereign green bonds to finance green-energy infrastructure. We have taken a deep dive to understand how this will help India in its energy transition. But energy transition does not necessarily equate with securing the basic rights of people nor does it reduce dependency on authoritarian regimes, as we have highlighted in our Commentary section.

Also, in this issue, you will read a fascinating interview about how a 23-year-old is making waves around the world by manufacturing premium footwear using discarded plastic bags and bottles.

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.
Social Sector: The magazine will examine and appraise the role played by various stakeholders engaged in this sector.
