So excited to share the research I worked on this summer with @ConstantinoX and @Geetika_Dang!

[Centre for Social and Economic Progress @CSEP_Org]

#NewResearch | In a new brief under the #Sambandh Regional Connectivity Initiative, @ConstantinoX, @aakshi_c and @Geetika_Dang map the current status of India as a higher-education hub for students from its neighbourhood.

Read the brief: https://t.co/TYy416B8AP

[Centre for Social and Economic Progress @CSEP_Org]

Annual growth of students in India from the neighbourhood has decreased from 30% to 9% in the last 7 years.

Even discounting Pakistanis, China now attracts as many South Asian students as India.

Will this affect Indian soft power in the neighbourhood? How can Delhi increase educational connectivity to win hearts and minds?

Happy to see this #Sambandh study out, co-authored with @aakshi_c @Geetika_Dang. We looked at education as soft connectivity between India and its neighbors.

Surprised to find out that China is now a more popular study destination than next-door India...

The umbrella project I worked on at @BrookingsIndia this past summer!

“Sambandh as Strategy: India’s new approach to regional connectivity”

Why has India embraced connectivity? What progress under Neighbourhood First? And where are the challenges?

Thrilled to also present our new #Sambandh Initiative, stay tuned!

Thank you so much @ConstantinoX and @nidvarma for the guidance and support !!

[Constantino Xavier @Constantinoeth_]

Fantastic presentations by the pioneering group of interns in our India regional connectivity project. Thanks @aakshi_c, Anirudh and Niara for great data-driven analysis of [the abysmal levels of] trade, FDI and academic connectivity in South Asia. And thx @nidvarma for leading!

Most countries still have laws that make it harder for women to work. This report is so important and lays out many of the barriers that women continue to face across the globe.

The #CTHouse just approved a constitutional amendment to create a system of early voting for elections in our state. This is great news. Early voting procedures have been successful in a growing number of states across the country – #CT has fallen behind and it's time we catch up

[Yale Daily News @yaledailynews]

After many New Haven residents were turned away at the polls, facing long lines for same-day voter registration last year on Election Day, community members gathered at City Hall to voice their concerns and discuss the city’s voting challenges.

On this day in Yale history, we published our first issue. The News thanks the intrepid reporters and editors who have contributed to the Oldest College Daily over our 141-year history.

A great read for the New Year:

"We don’t have a word for the opposite of loneliness, but if we did, I’d say that’s how I feel at Yale. How I feel right now. Here. With all of you. In love, impressed, humbled, scared. And we don’t have to lose that."

As a large budget deficit faces New Haven this year, residents are continuing to call for the University to provide additional financial support to the city they call home.

Read more about the chaos of this election day – and for a little bit of history of the Elm City's polling issues

[Yale Daily News @yaledailynews]

Inefficiencies at polling stations in New Haven caused long lines and controversy on election night. Now, Yale students and city residents alike are demanding changes to the process from the city’s legislators.

[Yale Daily News @yaledailynews]

Hundreds of students and New Haveners spent hours waiting in line to register to vote at City Hall on Tuesday afternoon, forcing many potential voters to either give up on registration or be turned away, stirring up controversy.
