A statistic is only as useful as its context. India's WPI inflation rose to 11.39% in September 2026. But verification means going beyond the headline: checking the primary source, period, and possible base effects before drawing conclusions. #M2C2@CSEPlanB@phimaanshu
Does Article 262 need a rethink? When rivers cross State boundaries, disputes shouldn't get trapped in institutional delays.
With @RituKlaire_01, we explore the possibilities of a constitutional amendment.

What drives school dropout and what can policy realistically do about it?

@CSEPlanB@phimaanshu My key takeaway: good policy analysis starts by moving beyond the visible symptom, examining possible root causes ans identifying stakeholders involved.
Why do children drop out of school in urban slum areas? Using the Three Why's Framework, I explored the problem at three levels.

@CSEPlanB@phimaanshu The stakeholder map adds another dimension. Those most affected by a policy problem may not be the actors with the greatest decision making power.
Feeling a sense of accomplishment after filing my first RTI. Applied what I learned just in books in practical life as well.
Looking forward for more such assignments ahead! @CSEPlanB@phimaanshu
The EU's AI watermarking rules raise bigger questions: Who will regulate and independently test AI detectors? How reliable will they be across languages and contexts? Where do we draw the line to ensure AI transparency does not become excessive surveillance?@CSEPlanB@phimaanshu
