Congratulations to Raja Rajendra Timilsina, Sunil Khosla, Dil B. Rahut, Prof. Pradyot Ranjan Jena, and Tetsushi Sonobe on their recent article published in Frontiers in Environmental Science:

“A Comprehensive Review of the Soil Health Status for Enhancing Agricultural Sustainability.”

This study provides a systematic review of soil health initiatives with a special focus on India’s Soil Health Card (SHC) scheme. By situating soil health within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the paper highlights how improved soil management enhances agricultural productivity, reduces chemical fertilizer use, strengthens climate resilience, and advances environmental sustainability.

How does democratic governance influence the success of community-led water management?

In their new article published in the Journal of Public Affairs, Dr. Indranil De Dr. Hippu Salk Kristle Nathan, Dr. Prabhat Mishra, Mr. Akhilesh Parey, and Mr. Subhasish Dutta explore how participatory decision-making, transparency, and equitable conflict resolution shape the performance of Water Users Associations (WUAs) in West Bengal.

Their findings reveal that well-governed WUAs not only ensure efficient water distribution but also evolve into salient public institutions serving communities even beyond their formal roles.

📰 Title: “Democratic Functioning of the Water Collectives and Going the Extra Mile: A Case of Water Users Associations in West Bengal, India.”
