Explore HealthIndia's economy has reached $3.92 trillion, growing at a robust 7.1% to 7.8% real rate under its new 2022-23 base series. However, this headline velocity masks deep structural divides. The high-productivity services sector contributes 55% of output but absorbs only 29% of workers, leaving 46% of the workforce underemployed in agriculture. Regionally, the per capita income gap between wealthy states like Goa (₹7.09 lakh) and poorer states like Bihar (₹59,056) stands at a massive 12x. To successfully leverage its demographic window, which peaks in the 2030s, India must accelerate low-skill manufacturing and create formal non-farm jobs.
Read GDP DispatchOn 26 August 2026, a rock-slope and glacier collapse on Langtang Lirung generated a seismic signal initially logged as a magnitude 4.4-5.2 earthquake. It was not. More than 100 million cubic metres of ice, rock, and debris dropped into the Bhote Koshi river system, producing a surge that travelled at roughly 193 km/h over its first 22 km and devastated a 72-km corridor from the Nepal-Tibet border to the Trishuli. As of 31 August, NDRRMA reports 903 dead, 1,473 injured, and 4,247 missing. Those numbers are provisional.
Read Climate DispatchWhile school enrollment in India is near-universal at over 98%, student retention, digital infrastructure, and foundational learning show a deep rural-urban gap. A rural school is almost three times less likely to have internet access and twice as likely to lack functional computers compared to its urban counterpart. Post-pandemic learning loss has begun to recover, but the schooling divide remains a major barrier to social mobility.

Health The world is losing weight. It's also losing muscle. Crash diets, GLP-1 drugs, and caloric restriction all strip lean mass alongside fat. The science of protein, resistance training, and metabolic adaptation says there's a better way, but the data is complicated.
Climate A rock-ice avalanche on Langtang Lirung sent more than 100 million cubic metres of debris into the Bhote Koshi river system on 26 August 2026. What followed is the deadliest cryosphere-driven disaster in Nepal's recorded history.
Artificial Intelligence In 1966, ELIZA could fake a therapy session using twenty lines of pattern-matching script. In 2026, an AI agent browses the web, executes code, fact-checks its own claims, and delivers a finished research brief without a human touching a keyboard. Here is the data behind the most compressed capability leap in technology history.
Economy India is officially the world's fastest-growing major economy. But behind the headline growth rates lies a complex puzzle of services-led output, low-productivity jobs, and stark regional divides.
Climate Every year, Mumbai gets hammered by the monsoon. Streets flood. Trains stop. And somehow, the city still runs out of drinking water. Here's the data behind the paradox.
Education Universal enrollment was supposed to level the playing field. But a deep dive into ASER and UDISE+ data reveals that where a child goes to school is still their destiny.
Artificial Intelligence How a 2-billion-parameter model, a 4,096-GPU grant, and two DPI veterans are building India's answer to the global AI race.
Demography & Markets India's fertility rate has crashed below replacement level. Its IVF industry is about to triple. Both stories are true, and they're connected.
