India–Nepal Economic Integration
India and Nepal share long-standing cultural, historical and economic ties, formalised under the 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship. Despite close relations, a persistent irritant in their economic engagement is Nepal’s widening trade deficit with India. While often attributed to treaty provisions, this article, drawing on extensive data analysis and key informant interviews, argues that the deficit is primarily a reflection of Nepal’s structura…

In this context, the arti…

Based on the primary field survey and secondary data analysis, the article argues that the introduction of English medium in…
Gender Dynamics in Schooling
Different forms of schooling, single sex or co-educational, have been discussed in educational academia from the perspective of their impact on gender equality. The debate revolves around the question: which form of schooling (single or co-educational) will be effective in combating prevalent gender stereotypes? With the contradictory evidence, this discussion remains inconclusive. With the help of inferences from evidence both factual and anecdo…
Interrogating School Choice
Exploration of parental schooling choice has dominated the Indian educational discourse for the last one and a half decade. This reflects the noticeable increase of private schools in the Indian school arena. English medium education is seen as one of the important aspects of this rise of private schools as government schools provide education in vernacular medium. This paper attempts to analyze the school choice scenario where both government an…
