  ESG Cynics. ESG-themed investments (that is, those which focus on environmental, social, and governance priorities) are expected to surpass $40 trillion in assets this year, suggesting that the concept has become deeply rooted in global markets. But the term itself is increasingly ridiculed by detractors. Critics claim the term is hazily defined, has failed to reduce income inequality, and has become a political lightning rod. Even some proponents acknowledge that it might be time for a rebrand—while maintaining that the underlying concept remains important.

How NEP 2020 will serve as a foundation for an Aatmanirbhar Bharat As Nelson Mandela once famously said, “ The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.” The Nobel Peace Prize recipient recognized education as an indispensable vehicle to bring equality of opportunity to the world.   In context, India’s NEP 2020 is indeed a revolutionary policy reform from the perspective that it is the first education policy of the 21st century and it supplants the thirty-four-year-old National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986. Developed robustly on the foundational tenets of Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability, and Accountability, the policy is in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that aims to transform India into a vibrant knowledge society and global knowledge superpower by making both school and college education more holistic, flexible, multidisciplinary, crafte...

However, on the Indian terrain, there are only few that last long. Due to diversity of the weather, temperature, and geographic variations, the challenges posed by road network are many. Pacing with major part of the economy on its back is the Indian tyre industry.
