We frequently treat juvenile crime as a policing problem, ignoring that our justice system was designed to rehabilitate not just punish children who have been pushed to the margins.

Under the evolving BBIN (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal) energy framework, how is India's strategic role in Nepal's hydropower trade fundamentally shifting?

Nepal's monsoon-heavy hydropower balances India's variable solar and wind power, with Nepal's net electricity exports to India reaching roughly 2,730 GWh in FY 2025-26 under expanding cross-border frameworks.

Integrating power markets across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Nepal (BBIN) optimizes renewable potential, saves billions in capital costs, and uses trilateral transmission (like Nepal-to-Bangladesh power flows) as a building block for regional integration.
