Posted on By P. KOSHY No Comments on Unlocking Farmer Prosperity: Strategies for Multiplying Income and Strengthening Market Linkages Featured

Posted on By Koshy P No Comments on BRICS Rising: The Multipolar World Order and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict: What to Expect in the Decade Ahead

the emergence of a multipolar world order, speeded up by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the influence of the BRICS nations, is expected to reshape the global landscape by the end of this decade.
