This year Satyaki Roy and I have put together the CBP at ISID 4-16 May. Very happy to be a part of this enriching experience. Dr Pulapre Balakrishnan delivered the keynote address. We have a line-up of excellent faculty from all over the country to speak to our participants.
We are glad to share that the ISID’s ICSSR-sponsored Two-week Capacity Building Programme on “Industrial Transformation: Prospects and Challenges” commenced on Monday, 04 May 2026 at the ISID Campus, New Delhi.

BEGINNING OF DAY 14 OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
250 people slept hungy in - 12 °C to safegurad Ladakh's land, environment and tribal indigenous culture
Our nomads are losing prime pasture land to huge Indian industrial plants to the south & Chinese encroachment to the north
To show the ground reality we're planning a Border March of 10,000 Ladakhi shepherds & farmers soon.

I argue that the mainstream discipline of economics needs to change drastically if it is to be of any use in confronting the pressing challenges we face in the world today.

Came across this video and had to share it. I think it perfectly sums up life as an #empath and I particularly like the ending!
If this resonates with you, look into what it is to be an empath, you could learn a lot about yourself.
Who can relate??

Can't breathe, please do something @ArvindKejriwal And please remember this experience for the future too, take pollution reducing measures before AQI reaches the severe category and implement cracker ban in Delhi properly. This isn't a good life in the capital. We cannot breathe
Thank you @ThePrintIndia and @SumiSukanya for highlighting our citizens funded public health initiative to test generics and branded drugs quality in India.
We recently retrieved generic metformin and atorvastatin drugs that did not help improve diabetes and high cholesterol in a woman.
We paid out of pocket for for a primary quality check of retrieved drugs (approx. INR 33200)
Four metformin and three atorvastatin drugs (branded, branded generics & State supplied generic) including those consumed by the patients were tested for drug-assay quality.
We found that one atorvastatin generic solely manufactured and supplied to government hospitals was of poor quality. The patient was on this [more details on link provided].
Just this random checking has revealed poor quality drugs at consumer level in public funded hospitals.
In this context, we plan to initiate a citizens funded project to analyse commonly prescribed generics and branded drugs which will be performed using standard operating procedures as laid down by Indian Pharmacopeia and drug regulations.
The Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare or MESH in short, a registered non-profit public service society, of which I am a part of, will gladly do this on behalf of the public (more on this soon, project, funding details, contribution options etc).
Think of MESH as what Humanists of UK is to Europe and The Center for Inquiry is to the USA.
It's high time India had it's own science and ethics organization to shield her people from health related misinformation & disinformation, pseudoscience, unethical medical practices, poor health and drug regulation and bad science.
