Episode 8 - National Education Policy: What's the Catch?

India’s education system is undergoing a massive transformation with the National Education Policy (NEP). The NEP aims to bring flexibility, holistic learning, and a multidisciplinary approach to students, but how much of it is practical? Who wins, who loses, and what’s the catch? For the first time ever, this episode is entirely student-led—because who better to comment on education than those experiencing it firsthand? Unlike our usual format, this time, it’s all about raw, unfiltered student voices. Joining us are our Community heads, Praniti Bajaj and Pal Parmar, along with second-year students, Neha Bhatia and Harshita Shrangi. Together, they dive into what the NEP promises, its impact on students and teachers, and whether it’s the game-changer India needs or just another policy on paper.

Episode 4, Side A: Consumer Behaviour and Psychology behind Fast Fashion

Fast fashion retailers, by introducing new merchandise almost weekly and deliberately manipulating the supply of merchandise, treat fashion like food that spoils quickly or as has been said in the popular press, “fast fashion retailers treat fashion as produce.” Any industry based on a throwaway culture is bound to generate environmental and social concerns.  Along with Sanchayan Banerjee, who has a PhD focusing on Behavioural and experimental economics designed to induce pro-environmental attitudes amongst economic agents and presently is working to extend the theory of Nudge to incorporate an element of reflection in it with an idea of achieving persistent behavioural changes that are ethically aligned with an individual's conscious choice. We aim to understand the reasons behind the increased demand and consumption of fast fashion despite the alarming influences. *part 1 of 2*
