Ep. 130: AI, Learning and Intelligence

We often want economics to be able to predict the next crisis, while dismissing sound economic insights that may be a century old.Where is the science in economics? How much of the discipline is experimentation, and how much is careful observation of the world?Economist Ajay Shah is on Episode 129 of The Pragati Podcast to talk to Pavan Srinath about the dismal science of economics.The Pragati Podcast is a weekly talkshow on public policy, economics and international relations hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/zeusisdead" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pavan Srinath</a>.<a href="https://www.nipfp.org.in/staff/10/faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ajay Shah</a> is a Professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy in New Delhi.

Ep. 99: (Rebroadcast) Questioning Nationalism

A nation-wide NRC is an unknown beast of unknown dimensions. Real world examples of the NRC come from Assam, where close to 19 lakh residents of the state were left out of the NRC list brought out in August 2019. How do you prove your citizenship in India, where most people do not have basic personal documents? Journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/rohini_mohan" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Rohini Mohan</a>  joins Pavan Srinath to discuss Assam's unique history, how the NRC was rolled out in Assam, and what a nation-wide NRC might look like. The Pragati Podcast is a weekly talkshow on public policy, economics and international relations hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/zeusisdead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pavan Srinath</a>. Rohini Mohan is a journalist and author, who has been reporting extensively from Assam over the last few years, covering the NRC, foreigners' tribunals, and the struggles of stateless residents of India.

A nation-wide NRC is an unknown beast of unknown dimensions. Real world examples of the NRC come from Assam, where close to 19 lakh residents of the state were left out of the NRC list brought out in August 2019. How do you prove your citizenship in India, where most people do not have basic personal documents? Journalist Rohini Mohan  joins Pavan Srinath to discuss Assam's unique history, how the NRC was rolled out in Assam, and what a nation-wide NRC might look like.

Ep. 125: Learning From The Assam NRC

Nuclear war feels unthinkable, but how much peace does nuclear deterrence guarantee? Do nuclear programmes truly deter or compel adversaries in the real world? And can we imagine a world where 20+ countries have nuclear weapons? Vipin Narang joins Pavan Srinath on Episode 124 of The Pragati Podcast to dive into the world of nuclear weapons and strategy. He shares the evolution of our understanding of nuclear strategy from early ideas of mutually assured destruction.

Ep. 124: Nuclear War, Deterrence and Peace.

The Republic of India is often a Republic of men. While men and women nationally enjoy the same rights, we are yet to solve many of the social failures from decades ago. Child marriage for women remains the norm in many parts of the country, many girls drop out early from education, and women's participation in the labour force is dropping drastically. Understanding the challenges faced by adolescent women in India can help us unpack why Indian society and governments are failing half the population in so many ways. Shireen Jejebhoy, Manisha Gupte and Richa Patel join Pavan Srinath on the Pragati Podcast to help with just that. The Pragati Podcast is a weekly talkshow on public policy, economics and international relations hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/zeusisdead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pavan Srinath</a>.

The campaign aims to improve the lives of adolescent girls between the ages of 10 and 19, and empower them.

Ep. 123: Growing Up In Patriarchal India

India has made strides in improving the health, well-being and lives of infants and expecting mothers over the last several decades. But once children enter school and enter adolescence, they get lost as a public priority till they enter adulthood. Adolescence is a time of great physical, physiological and intellectual development and upheaval for all of us. Adolescents also need special protection of their rights, especially their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Ep. 122: The Adolescents of India

The Indian State has incredible ambition, but often falls very short of meeting grand outcomes. The mismatch is linked to State Capacity, a nebulous concept at the best of times. Prakhar Misra is on Episode 121 of The Pragati Podcast to help us understand what state capacity is, how it could be measured, and how India can improve its state capacity rapidly. The Pragati Podcast is a weekly talk-show on public policy, economics and international relations hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/zeusisdead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pavan Srinath</a>. <a href= "http://www.idfcinstitute.org/about/people/team/prakhar-misra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prakhar Misra</a> is an Associate at IDFC Institute.
