Iran war's impact, fighting childhood obesity, and India-Pak airspace
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the Iran war, childhood obesity initiatives, and the airspace standoff between India and Pakistan.
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Udit Misra about the growing debate over India’s GDP numbers, after the new data series raised fresh questions about how accurately the country’s economic growth is being measured. Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Rinku Ghosh about childhood obesity and how different countries are rethinking the food environment around children, with schools and cities experimenting with new models to improve nutrition and long-term health outcomes. (15:20) And in the end, we look at the year-long airspace standoff between India and Pakistan, and how the continued ban on overflights is quietly imposing high costs on Indian airlines. (29:42) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
