In this issue of Tatsat Chronicle:- Cybercrime in India has shot up by more than 300% in the past four years, according to data published by the National Crime Records Bureau. These are just the reported cases. In many instances, cybercrime victims are hesitant to report the incidents to the police, which means the unofficial number of cyber crimes committed in India could be much higher. With the increase in cybercrime and cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, the government is pushing for greater surveillance, as the latest directive issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology proves. The net result is that ordinary Indians are trapped in the middle as both sides escalate their attempts to capture ever more personal data. We have also written about a wonderful experiment that was started in remote Tilonia in Rajasthan almost three decades ago to bring solar power to doorsteps. Today, the women of this village have shown that it’s possible to drive bottom-up development models without resorting to grand infrastructure projects. We have also examined the critical need for India to invest in carbon capture technologies to meet the net-zero target by 2070. Both government and industry have a critical role to play to achieve the environmental goal. Apart from that, we have also highlighted the plight of Anganwadi workers who are key in the delivery of the Integrated Child Development Services.
Tatsat Chronicle magazine and its 360-degree digital platform, including a live website with daily updates, Social Media channels, and a fortnightly newsletter in digital format. The social sector is one of the fastest-growing sectors in India. Given the current size of the social sector—accounting for approximately 8.8 percent of India’s GDP in spending terms—and the number of people who are directly and indirectly involved with this field, it doesn’t have a robust media platform that engages with the various stakeholders involved in this sector. It’s this gap that Tatsat Chronicle intends to fill and carve out a niche. Tatsat Chronicle has been envisioned as a monthly magazine that offers a deep dive into the rapidly evolving Corporate Social Responsibility space for better understanding and appreciation of the remarkable work being done by corporate houses, Public Sector Undertakings and Non-Government Organisations towards creating a more equitable society. The main objective of Tatsat Chronicle is to inform, engage and stimulate its readers with ideas, case studies and well-researched insights, covering the entire gamut of CSR activities in India and abroad. Every month the print magazine with a the production run of 50,000 copies and its digital version generates a combined readership of 250,000 people. In a short span of time, Tatsat Chronicle has established itself as a go-to resource for key decision-makers and influencers, who are instrumental in shaping CSR policies and project implementation at the grassroots level in India.
