I am from Ajitgarh village in Bhim tehsil, Rajsamand district, Rajasthan. I grew up with a father who was uninterested in his children’s well-being, and a mother who was extremely hard-working and took up the arduous task of stone-breaking to make ends meet.  It is the norm in our area for girls to drop out after class 10 or 12 and get married before they turn 18. This was expected of me too, especially given my family’s circumstances. But I was determined not to follow this path.

Tripura’s 2016 literacy assessment survey recorded a state literacy rate of 97.22 percent—the highest in India. However, a breakdown of this data to understand Tripura’s education infrastructure and post-education employment opportunities reveals a far more complex picture.  As a young graduate who studied and is now employed in Tripura, I have come to realise that finding quality educational institutions and jobs in different sectors is a challenge.

Faced with climate change, riverine communities are using memory maps, audio notes, and images to archive oral histories and traditional adaptation strategies. For centuries, the mighty rivers of the Northeast have shaped sociocultural and economic identities, and people’s lives have remained intertwined with the rivers. The Lepchas of North Sikkim revere the Rongyong river and depend on it as a water source for their agricultural needs.

The Pune Municipal Corporation is developing a 44-kilometre riverfront along the banks of Mula-Mutha river. Formed by the confluence of five rivers—Mula, Mutha, Ramnadi, Devnadi, and Pavana—the Mula-Mutha river runs through the heart of the city.  The Pune River Rejuvenation Project, also known as the Pune Riverfront Development (RFD) project, aims to beautify the riverbank through concretisation: building concrete embankments, walkways, and plazas.
