In this issue, the government trying to regulate Crpto currency and the impact of cryptocurrencies in the mainstream of the global economy without any regulations.

As pointed out in our cover story by Madan Sabnavis, chief economist, Bank of Baroda, the Indian government and the Reserve Bank of India need to find ways to regulate cryptocurrencies. Otherwise, the sovereignty of India’s monetary policy will be under challenge, very soon. Already, more than ₹7 lakh crore has been invested in cryptocurrencies.

Also, a look at the pros and cons of increasing palm oil production in India. On one hand, it’s a highly profitable crop and can make the country self-reliant in edible oils; on the other, environmentalists are justified in their apprehensions that forest land might be diverted to plantations in the Northeast, where the climate is most conducive for growing oil palm.

Independent India will turn 75 on August 15, 2022. During this period, the country has made remarkable progress in many areas. But in one critical aspect it continues to lag: gender equality, especially representation of women in public spaces. We looked at the numbers and the picture that emerged is highly unflattering. The failure to ensure adequate representation to women in public life goes against Goal 5 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, to which India is a signatory.

In a similar vein, we must ensure the protection of the rights of our indigenous peoples like the forest-dwelling Van Gujjars of Uttarakhand. For centuries, they have been friends of the forests, but modern laws have started treating them as enemies.

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
