With an aim to skill over 40 crore Indians by 2022, #SkillIndia is a very ambitious project. What is the role of government in skilling the youth? How do we ensure that there is a match between the skills youth need, the demands of the market, and the skill training being provided?

The proponents of Free Basics say that it is a step to extend connectivity to the poor. Equally strong arguments from the opposing side say that it is a corporate ploy to compartmentalise the internet. Should we support Free Basics, and is it a step in the right direction?

#ccstalks Tweetchat ‘Minimum Qualifications to Stand for Elections: Necessary or Unconstitutional?’
To read the storify version of chat click here.

The Supreme Court recently upheld the new Haryana panchayat law. The amendments disqualify people who lack formal education, have no functioning toilet in their home and are in debt, from contesting Panchayat elections. Is this a necessary move to ensure quality governance? Or is it unconstitutional, violating the rights of voters to determine for themselves what qualities they want in a candidate?

#ccstalks Tweetchat ‘Are we afraid of dissent?’
To read the storify version of chat click here.

Aamir Khan recently expressed his concerns over growing intolerance in India, and how his wife had suggested that they move out of the country for their security. Since then, there have been opinions from all ends pouring in - accusing Aamir Khan of being anti-national, calling it 'trendy' to criticise the government; others insisting that he is free to speak his mind. Both however, point to a fear of dissent. For public discourse to be fruitful, it needs to be guided by a willingness to engage and a modicum of restraint. Read a great blog by Ujwal on this issue here, and join the discussion next week!
