Dear Ranjan,

Thanks for this very interesting and valuable reply. 

If other list members were to offer similar compilations with links, it would be wonderful.

David Brooks’s column deserves a quick comment. Brooks is an op-ed columnist and an author, not a reporter. His role at the New York Times is to raise ideas and discuss issues in politics, culture, and the social sciences. What makes this column significant is that most Times subscribers read the columnists to get an overview of current affairs -- Brooks puts important ideas in front of a wide international audience. 

Columnists have only a limited number of words, but they have the free choice of how to use them. Stories with in-depth reporting are assigned by editors. The word count for reported news is much higher than for columns, but this topic would not make front page news — Brooks made it a front page topic.   

Like you, I’d welcome an in-depth story, but I was delighted by the column.

There is a place where the editors will welcome an in-depth article — She Ji. The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation. If someone will put forward an article, we’d be delighted. An article with links and rich information would be even better. If it is too long for a standard journal-length article, we’ll consider publishing it across two issues.

For now, your idea that subscribers might post here is terrific. 

Warm wishes,

Ken

Here in India and particularly at NID we have perhaps been focussed on design for development since the mid 70s and in the early years it was a focus on crafts asa means of livelihood development and on te communication front it was a focus on social communication by creating media for social change, largely driven by State sponsorship.

Much research is needed to uncover all of these efforts. However, I have listed a few of te more visible ones from my vantage. My brief note below.

Many of these are my former students from NID.

She has set up an organisation to promote and deliver low cost solutions for rural women and her hand made UGER sanitary pads are reusable and can be produced locally in small enterprises as a counter to the commercially produced and highly expensive and environmentally polluting options that are on offer today by commercial multinational entities, which in her view are unsustainable and undesirable options
