“The India I want”? It is very easy to pen
down a thousand words worth of ideas, which will theoretically turn India into
a utopia. Corruption eradication, women empowerment, science funding, education
planning, medical infrastructure, pollution reduction, tiger protection, environmental
awareness, etc… the list alone can reach a thousand words.

Climate Change in the Himalayas
This is an assignment which I've submitted as a part of an online course "Global Warming: The Science of Climate Change" offered by the University of Chicago.
I have focused my assignment on interpreting the data from meteorological stations located within the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau.
This region is significant as 1.3 billion people i.e 20% of the world's population is dependent either directly or indirectly on the Himalayan glaciers. The Himalayas supply freshwater to 8 South-Asian countries, including two of the most populous countries in the world i.e China and India. Any catastrophic change in the Himalayan climate is sure to effect the culture and demography of the area and the political scenario of the world.

VSSU: Changing Lives in Rural Bengal
“Making use of unused and underused social resources to develop a self-reliant society”
Vivekananda Sevakendra-O-Sishu Uddyan (VSSU) was created in 1983 to
empower remote riverside villages and vulnerable rural communities in
the district of South 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India. VSSU works with
people whose lives are dominated by extreme poverty (37.2% of the
district population lives below the poverty line), illiteracy, disease
and other handicaps. With multifaceted development interventions, VSSU
strives to bring about positive changes in the quality of life of the
poor people. VSSU firmly believes and is actively involved in building
the social, economic and human capacity of the poor.
