In this issue, with approximately 65% of the population under the age of 35, it held the promise of reaping the riches of having a massive young workforce to power the economy. Instead of capitalising on the benefits of having a young population, the India of 2022 is grappling with a massive unemployment problem. In our cover story, we dig deep into data to understand how and why we reached where we stand today.
The latest forest survey report paints a rosy picture with the overall forest cover increasing by 1,540 sq km. But a closer look at the data reveals a contrasting narrative. There has been very little growth in the Very Dense Forest cover, while the area under Moderate Dense Forest has decreased significantly. This number jugglery in plain sight has made environmentalists see red in the attempted greenwash. Equally troubling is the roadmap that India has charted for transitioning from fossil fuel used to green energy generation. The plan to set up mega solar power parks runs contrary to the SDG 15 objective. Amidst this, the emergence of companies like Attero represents hope.
In this issue, we also peel the layers off the contentious issue of marital rape, on which Indian lawmakers have been dragging their feet. And we highlight the plight of the handloom weavers of eastern UP, who have been severely impacted by the effects of the lockdowns.
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.
