District Collectors (IAS)

Water security in India is increasingly a question of institutions, not just infrastructure.

A new case study of Gujarat's reforms (2001-2026) argues that political prioritisation, sustained financing, cross-government partnerships and community ownership mattered as much as hardware. Context shapes what transfers, but the question travels: are the institutions in place to keep water flowing after the taps are installed?

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”

Remembering Mahatma Gandhi on Gandhi Jayanti, and the power of a will strong enough to move a nation.

Tirupathur has crossed the 95-95-95 HIV targets and achieved Surakshit Status, with District Collector V. Nallasivan, IAS, leading a district-wide push that took HIV awareness and care beyond health facilities.

From 33 high-risk villages to schools, colleges and vulnerable children, the district built its response around early diagnosis, treatment and sustained follow-up.

Indian hockey deserves better. 🏑🇮🇳

The World Cup saw the jersey controversy. Now, just ahead of the Asian Games, another controversy has emerged.

At a time when our players are training relentlessly and need complete focus and confidence, internal matters of Hockey India are being taken to the media. More troubling is the alleged bypassing of the Executive Committee and established governance norms.

With Hockey India elections around the corner, such unilateral actions and media pressure raise serious questions about the intent and timing. Governance is meant to strengthen institutions, not create turbulence around major tournaments.

The Executive Committee exists for a reason. Decisions affecting Indian hockey must follow due process, collective responsibility and the organisation’s bylaws.

Let our players focus on the game. Keep the politics out.
