Ways to tackle hunger during COVID-19: Strengthening supply-chain networks
Anjali Taneja
COVID-19 has not only caused deaths but has also exacerbated hunger and starvation due to nationwide lockdowns in the country that have led to a massive breakdown in the supply chain networks. These tough times are no less than a “wake-up call” for India to devise a permanent supply chain solution that ensures an uninterrupted supply of food and nutrition as well as timely healthcare and employment for its population.

Anjali Taneja; L.S.Shashidhara
It is not just traditional wisdom that teachers and faculty are enablers of knowledge and wisdom, but it is a fact that we experience in our lives. In the words of Michael Morpurgo, the popular English novelist, “It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom”. This article underscores the need for good teachers and innovation in teaching practices to quality of higher education in India.
