Causes, impacts and management of India’s development
Age 14 – 18
Known for its call centres, Bangalore has become the silicon Valley of India - a shining example of India’s success and a “World City”. The programme asks what have been the causes of this success, including the role of education, globalisation and government de-regulation. We then look at the pros and cons of this growth, including: increased wealth and growth of middle classes, growth of IT sector and better employment opportunities, pollution and traffic congestion. We then ask is this city sustainable and look at how the public and private sector are seeking to address the problems by providing better transport, infrastructure and access to services.

Energy Security: India’s sustainable solutions
Sustainable solutions
Age 14 – 18
India faces a major energy crisis because of its rapid growth, but traditional energy sources won't be enough to meet all future needs. This programme looks at sustainable alternatives. We visit Asia’s largest wind farm and look at who’s benefiting from this electricity generation. We then visit a bio gas plant and ask whether this renewable energy source is a solution better suited to meeting the needs of India’s rural population. We look at the problems the bio gas plant is seeking to address and find out how it has benefited the community, in particular the women.
