Today in #Mumbai speaking in CONSERW Conclave organised by #SBIFoundation & #CDD I spoke about the urgent need for the CSR funds to flow to cities which are hotshots of climate change hotspots and vulnerability keeping the marginalised people at the centre of action.

Glimpses from the successful launch of City Limits: The Crisis of Urbanisation (ed by @tikender & published by @PenguinIndia). Sincere thanks to Shri @ManishTewari & Shri @JohnBrittas, our esteemed panelists, and the engaged audience for making the discussion meaningful.

“86% of people in Delhi do not own cars. Rethinking development for 2047 means focusing on what is truly sustainable.” @tikender , Mayor of Shimla Cities must be designed for people, not just cars. #UrbanUpdate #SustainableCities #UrbanMobility

Perhaps some lessons for us in Indian cities. Empower the people and the governance models to a bottom-up approach and allow the cities to determine their paths of development. It isn't that difficult.

I ✍️ #TheHindu today on the devlotion of the #16thFC to the cities. Cheerleaders proclaiming ever highest urban devolution forget to understand that the urbanisation has spread far rapidly and the percentage of GDP on urban remains unchanged. 16FC fails #urban #India

Why are Finance Commission grants to cities still so limited? ✍️ @tikender trib.al/zIq9Qf7

What a fabulous piece? "Body in classrooms in India and sould abroad" Harsh Mander: Why India’s doctors leave for foreign shores while Cuba’s serve their poorest scroll.in/article/108871… via @scroll_in

Significance: The article highlights the importance of this fiscal stimulus, particularly for a state with high numbers of armed forces families and challenging terrain.

Purpose of RDG: designed to bridge the gap between a state's earnings & expenditure required to run essential public services. HP Context : a border region, received grant in some form since independence, & its removal could severely impact the state's finances & development.
