Anaemia affects over 50% of Indian women and ~75% of children.
Here is how scaling Double Fortified Salt (DFS) through the PDS network can help eradicate this public health crisis
𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲
Scaling Double Fortified Salt (DFS: Iodine + Iron) as a low cost, population level solution to eradicate iron deficiency anaemia.
𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁
Burden:
Anaemia affects >50% of women and ~75% of children, impairing cognition and labor productivity.
Efficacy & ROI:
Cuts anaemia by up to 21%; costs ₹14 to ₹20 per person annually with a high 4.2:1 benefit cost ratio.
Policy Alignment:
Strengthens the Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) strategy and leverages the legacy of Universal Salt Iodisation (95% reach).
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀
PDS Gap:
Mandated in PM POSHAN and ICDS, but PDS integration (~800M beneficiaries) remains fragmented due to state level inertia.
Non Technical Hurdles:
Lack of dedicated funding, supply chain quality control, and consumer awareness.

PDS Mainstreaming:
Mandate nationwide DFS distribution through the PDS network.
Quality & Safeguards:
Enforce FSSAI standards and pair distribution with screening for hemoglobinopathies (thalassemia/sickle cell).

As we grow older, we forget our wildest dreams and become more practical and cautious.
But every breakthrough in history was made by someone who refused to let go of that relentless, childlike belief!
What’s one dream you used to have that you abandoned because you thought it was "unrealistic"?

India's renewable energy boom has created a new challenge: daytime solar surpluses and nighttime demand deficits.
Here is how scaling energy storage and grid flexibility can resolve this transition hurdle

Day Night Mismatch:
Non fossil capacity (~53% of total; ~162 GW solar) creates daytime solar gluts but leaves evening deficits during peak loads.
Thermal Cycling Strain:
Backing down solar during peak hours wastes clean energy, while forcing thermal plants to ramp up and down rapidly accelerates equipment wear.
Discom Distress:
Legacy issues post Electricity Act 2003 tariff suppression and poor distribution infrastructure continue to destabilize Discom finances.
𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱
Utility Scale Storage:
Rapidly deploy Battery Storage (BESS) and Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) to capture daytime solar and stabilize peak evening supply.
Grid Flexibility & Markets:
Expand inter state transmission lines and establish market mechanisms that financially reward ancillary grid balancing services.
Viability Support:
Ensure storage tenders account for realistic prices and longer gestation periods so projects remain commercially viable.

Aligning India's upcoming infrastructure investment cycle with green standards is important to prevent carbon lock in, avoid costly retrofits, and hit climate targets without stalling growth..
𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆
Capital Stock Growth:
Unlike advanced nations where ~80% of 2050 buildings exist, 86% of India's 2070 building stock is yet to be built (floor space rising from 18B to 42B sq. m).
Hard to Abate Demands:
Domestic demand will drive massive expansion by 2030 in steel (up to 300 MT) and cement (up to 660 MT).

Code Enforcement:
BEE's updated ECSBC 2024 (commercial) and Eco Niwas Samhita (residential) face state level enforcement gaps.
Transmission Deficits:
~60 GW of renewable capacity is bottlenecked by grid constraints, requiring transmission/storage additions to precede generation.
Technology Costs:
Prematurely mandating unproven, expensive tech (like hydrogen green steel or CCUS in cement) risks lock in and high capital costs.
𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱
Public Procurement:
Mandate low emission steel/cement for public projects (Railways, NHAI) via emissions intensity thresholds aligned with the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS).
Building Codes:
Direct embed energy codes into municipal permits, occupancy certificates, and power connections with non compliance penalties.
De Risk Financing:
Address India's high cost of capital for renewables (~80% higher than advanced economies) using payment security mechanisms and concessional debt.

The internal battle is often tougher than any external challenge. We are often our own worst critics, harshest judges, and biggest opponents.
