Because rural migrants are deterred far more by distance than they are drawn by higher pay, nearby towns – despite offering lower earnings than cities – end up absorbing far more migrants and doing more to reduce poverty, making them a decisive channel for inclusive urban growth.

@michael_nielsen What a great list! From the south of India, recommend Fort Kochi/Jew town and the 1000 year old Thanjavur temple

A funny aspect of the proposals on AI harms-limiting is that something like this could just as well have been proposed by a trade unionist

This is a significant challenge in cancer and also other NCDs. Big emphasis on screening but very little thought on what happens next. This is why we focus obsessively on tracking patient journeys @dvarahf but not yet been able to roll out one for cancer. Hope to get there soon

While studying women nano entrepreneurs' financial lives, our fieldwork helped in classifying them into three categories: 𝐆𝐮𝐧𝐠-𝐇𝐨 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫, 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫. We believe that this categorisation most accurately captures the subtle differences in entrepreneurial orientation and provides clearer identification markers for further enquiry into their money management habits.

Such a great idea to make conservation work more accessible to the non-elite

[Nandan Nilekani @NandanNilekani]

Introducing the Samvardhan Biodiversity and Conservation Fellowship — a 12-month Fellowship co-curated by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies and Dasra, and seed funded by @RNP_Foundation, built to support the next generation of conservation leaders across India, especially those from grassroots communities and underrepresented regions.

Too many passionate conservationists leave the field not because they lose interest, but because the system doesn't support them. The Samvardhan Fellowship is here to change that.

What the fellowship offers:
- A seed grant of ₹3 lakh for practice-led conservation work
- Mentorship from conservation experts throughout the year
- Peer learning through cohort sessions, knowledge workshops, and community building

Who can apply:
- Early-career conservation researchers and practitioners under 35, engaged in public-interest conservation — whether in research, fieldwork, or community work.
- Applicants from diverse educational backgrounds and non-elite institutions are strongly encouraged. _(Note: PhD students are not eligible.)_

Applications are open now! Visit https://t.co/0FR75pzTd3 to apply.
