Evaluation of Energy Transition Readiness in the Residential Cooking Sector Among the Low and Medium-Income Households in Bengaluru
This study examines the readiness of the inhabitants of Bengaluru, a metropolitan city located in the State of Karnataka in India, to shift to electricity-based residential cooking. The study also touches upon the critical knowledge gaps regarding the energy transition from an established LPG-based ecosystem to the new electric cooking ecosystem.
A Methodological Framework for Strategic Electricity Generation Planning in India: Assessing Resource Adequacy Through Probability Risk Metrics
This study discusses a methodological framework in conjunction with the existing probability-based risk metrics for assessing the resource adequacy of the electricity generation mix, considering the generation capacities of different sources, their average availability levels, and the possible outages that these sources may suffer from. The simulations show that the available capacity decreases with an increasing number of discrete risk events, which limits the capability of the power system to meet the demand.

Kinnal Toys: A Glimpse into Karnataka’s Wooden Craft Heritage
The remarkable story of Kinnal toys, a unique and cherished handcrafted art form, can be traced back to the 15th century, coinciding with the glorious reign of the Vijayanagara Empire in southern India.
Essential negotiation skills while moving from research to industry
It’s taken for granted that every researcher, after their PhD, moves to academics. Very few are interested in moving into industry.
Why Women Drift Away from Science
In school classrooms, girls often do well in science-sometimes exceptionally well. They score high, answer confidently, and speak about careers in medicine, research, or environmental science with genuine enthusiasm. Yet as the academic funnel narrows, something shifts. By the time science reaches its more demanding spaces-research laboratories, doctoral programmes, institutional leadership-many of these young women are no longer there.Women are often excluded from high-visibility assignments or leadership roles on the assumption that they may not be “available.”

Shared Waters, Shared Futures: Sahabhagita and Cooperative Governance in the Bay of Bengal
The Bay of Bengal is one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions. The Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna basin sustains nearly 700 million people, yet fragmented water governance costs the region over USD 14 billion annually in disaster losses and missed development opportunities. By reframing rivers and seas as shared commons, Sahabhagita – a framework of cooperation- highlights how regional cooperation can strengthen resilience, reduce risk, and build a more stable and prosperous Bay of Bengal future.
