Kerala's land reforms dismantled one of the most unequal agrarian systems in the country. Today, the challenge is whether the same framework can adapt to changing agricultural realities and land use demands.
How did historical struggles against feudal landlordism shape today’s ban on formal land leasing? And can Kerala modernise its agricultural framework without compromising the social justice foundations of the reform movement?

The Centre for Public Policy Research hosted the third episode of the Global High Tea Series on “UAE’S Exit from OPEC and its Impact on Global Oil Prices and India”, featuring Mr Amit Bhandari, Senior Fellow, Energy, Investment, and Connectivity at Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations. The session was moderated by Mr Gazi Hassan, Research Scholar of International Politics at CPPR.
The discussion examined the geopolitical and economic implications of a possible UAE exit from OPEC and how shifts within global energy alliances could reshape oil markets, supply dynamics, and regional power balances. The session also reflected on the changing role of OPEC in an increasingly multipolar energy landscape and the broader implications for India’s energy security and economic stability.
The conversation further explored how developments in West Asia continue to influence global trade flows, inflation, energy prices, and strategic partnerships, making the region central to India’s foreign policy and economic interests.

Imagine a country where life expectancy is just 44 years.
1 in 4 children die before age 5.
No phones. No radio. Indoor plumbing is a luxury.
You’re probably picturing a struggling nation today. You’d be wrong.
This was America—just 4 generations ago. 👇

Take Richard Arkwright. He started his career as a humble barber.
Because he had the freedom to innovate, he became one of the richest pioneers of Britain's cotton industry.
True development doesn't come from the top down. It grows from the ground up.

How did Kerala's radical land reforms actually play out on the ground? While celebrated for dismantling feudal landlordism, the legislative journey between 1957 and 1969 was a complex battle filled with intense political friction and major dilutions.

A massive legal loophole also emerged: because the 1963 Act lacked retrospective protection, a frantic window opened before enforcement. Landlords acted fast, rapidly shifting over 0.4 million acres via rushed sales, gifts, and forced surrenders.

This caused massive land fragmentation, 60% of farms shrank to under a single acre, while rice production stagnated. It proves that changing ownership doesn't automatically boost efficiency. Click the link to read more on these structural shifts! 👇

When was the last time you checked if your apartment building's fire tank actually has water? Or if the refuge area is unlocked? Or if the emergency staircase isn't blocked by discarded furniture?
Fire safety isn't just a design question. It’s a governance crisis.

A performance-based approach forces us to focus on what actually saves lives during an emergency: • Advanced smoke management & detection tech • Real-world building evacuation performance • Non-negotiable regular testing & maintenance • Upgraded institutional firefighting capacity

“Kochi’s logistics problem is no longer about ports or highways, but about how goods move through neighbourhood streets,” writes Lakshmi Ramamurthy
The article explores how autorickshaws, already deeply embedded in Kochi’s urban mobility network, can serve as an efficient and sustainable solution for last-mile freight movement in a rapidly growing logistics economy. It reflects on the economic, environmental, and mobility gains of reimagining autorickshaws as part of Kochi’s urban logistics infrastructure.
