My
primary aim as the editor of Geography
and You and President LIGHTS is to provide
readers with information that can make
a real and lasting connection with India.
Research in all areas of environment and
development is tailored for easy understanding
and disseminated through bilingual publications.
Heightened awareness about concerns that
challenge our country, I feel, will in
time translate into proactive action.
