It was a pleasure speaking with @elizabethshilpa from @the_hindu about our efforts to help children take charge of tackling malnutrition. We are planning to engage private schools too, with a special focus on Bengaluru schools.
#Interview | Archana Sinha talks about the new programme, where Karnataka stands in terms of battling nutritional challenges and what to keep in mind while designing such programmes in a country where food is a complex topic, @elizabethshilpa reports

The wait for NYE might be a good time to catch up on India's job story in the past 5 years. In a 4-part series, we used population projections to track changes in a clearer way than the PLFS reports do. The 1st part estimated India's labour force growth:

We live in a highly patriarchal society. I hv done around 200 kidney transplants. My findings in my series:
1. Around 80-90 % of Kidney Transplant Recipients are men. When a woman develops ESRD( Kidney Failure), it is very hard to find a Kidney donor, among the relatives.
2. In my entire career, not even a single husband came forward to donate his Kidney to his sick wife, & save her life.
3. When a woman is a Kidney recipient, the person who donates is usually a sister or daughter, or mother.
4. Most women r ready to offer their kidneys to their ailing husbands to save his life. The converse never happens.
5. There was once an extreme case, when a 19 yr old legal wife, donated her Kidney to her 45 yr old husband. After the Tx, I was casually talking to her. Her story was bizarre. This was her elder sister's husband. Just for Tx, the entire family had planned it carefully. The husband divorced his wife, & the 19 yr old girl was beaten fr days to marry the 45 yr old man, since her Kidney was a perfect match.
So, a simple survey of Kidney Tx recipients & donors exposes how deeply patriarchal, misogynistic, our rotten society is.
Scratch the veneer of democracy, modernity in India, & u find that underneath, we are still a feudal, casteist, misogynistic, patriarchal community.
My 2023 bingo card did not include #Formula1 drivers featuring in a Punjabi music video. @ValtteriBottas and @ZhouGuanyu24 look like they were born to do this though. #F1

Listen to Young climate leader from Assam. She set up a School Nutrition Garden by using organic and natural farming techniques. By reusing fish box styrofoam boxes to prepare vermicomposts, she is leading a local action and impacting global climate! #WorldEnviornmentDay
Our #Rajasthan Baseline Report 2022 shows that there's scope for improvement in adopting hand washing in schools. It must be ensured that every child is given the means and the knowledge to adopt proper handwashing practices. #NourishingSchools
