This episode is not just about Kerala; it is about how a state with limited land, strict environmental regulations, and a long history of outmigration is approaching investment and growth.Kerala is a small, densely populated state with limited land to spare, not the typical site for industrial expansion. Yet it's taking a distinct approach to building a knowledge based economy.P. Rajeev (Minister for Industries, Law and Coir, Govt of Kerala) joins us to break this down.We discuss how Kerala rose from the bottom to become the top-ranked state in Ease of Doing Business, what's behind the ₹1.5 lakh crore in investment pledges, and why the state is prioritizing high-value industries over land and labour-intensive manufacturing. We also unpack how Kerala plans to convert MOUs into functioning factories and real jobs, and why startups that once moved away are now beginning to stay. Tune in if you're curious about how Indian states are attracting investment and rethinking their development models.0:00 – Trailer1:18 – Is Kerala Still Fighting Old Perceptions?5:59 – Kerala to Focus on Value-Added Manufacturing7:45 – How to Start an IT Firm in Kerala & Where It Missed the Tech Bus10:35 – What's Blocking Startups from Scaling in the State?11:15 – Can Kerala Retain Its Best Talent?14:20 – Kerala's Vision for a Free-Thinking Knowledge Economy16:36 – Repositioning as an Investor-Friendly Destination19:22 – What the “Nature, People, Industry” Motto Really Means22:22 – Will Kerala Deliver on Its Investor Summit Promises?23:42 – Why Vizhinjam Could Be a Game-Changer26:00 – How Indian States Are Competing for Investments28:47 – Is Stagnation in Productive Sectors Slowing Development?32:38 – Is Kerala's Geography a Barrier to Growth?33:24 – Are Its Environmental Rules Too Rigid for Industry?34:22 – Is Communism Holding Kerala Back?37:48 – When the Communist Govt funded a Private Co.41:17 – The Real Kerala Story43:28 – The History Behind Kerala's Education Revolution45:14 – What the Kerala Model Must Fix48:06 – Internet as a Basic Citizen Right48:56 – Kerala's Health Workers on the Global Frontlines51:19 – Can Outsiders Easily Buy Land in Kerala?53:01 – The State's Only Unicorn Company54:21 – Can Startups from Kerala Go Public?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Ministry of Social Development statistics show almost eight thousand more people were receiving a main benefit in June compared to March. It follows the coalition putting new requirements and sanctions in place for beneficiaries. Christine Rankin told Heather du Plessis Allan the increase is inevitable with the current economy, but the tougher conditions are the right move. She says until Louise Upston came along as Minister, there were no expectations for beneficiaries to do anything. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wednesday's announcement that open plan classrooms are to be a thing of the past resulted in much public debate. Te Ao Marama School principal Tony Grey spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Erica Stanford is this Government's MVP. Once again, she is taking an inexplicably stupid thing in schools, ditching it, and going back to common sense. This is something close to my heart at the moment because I have to make a decision in the next six months or so about which school we send our son to. But I've basically already made the decision, and it will be the one school in the area that has single classes instead of open plan, modern learning spaces. It's the school his best friend from kindy is now going to. It's also the school another parent I know has just sent their child to. All of us are doing it for the same reason: we want to avoid open plan learning spaces. We know, like most parents know, that if you stick a hundred kids in a big room and tell them to pay attention to the teacher in front of them, they can't. They get distracted by the loud noises coming from the other kids over there. Why the Ministry of Education forced this in schools will probably baffle me for the rest of my life, because there is no logic to it. No one who has kids, or spends time with kids, can really believe kids can concentrate and learn with 100 voices chirping all the time. Which idiot came up with this? I'd love to know. I tell you what, the legacy of this Government could well be that it finally turns around our up-to-now decades long decline in education stats. That, along with the ban on phones in schools, and the hour a day of reading writing and maths, and the expectation that kids must pass existing standards, actually gives our kids a chance to learn as well as kids in any other developed country, like we used to. And if that is what happens, given how crucial education is to a country's success, Erica Stanford will remain as I see her: The MVP of this Government, if not of the decade. Or, of this generation.

For review:1. No progress on Israel - Hamas Hostage and Ceasefire negotiations.2. In a meeting in Amman on Sunday with British former prime minister Tony Blair, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas urged Hamas to release the hostages it is holding and hand over its weapons to the PA, stressing that the terror group “will not rule the Gaza Strip” after the war there ends.3. Israeli jets carried out a wave of airstrikes deep inside Lebanon aimed at stopping  an elite Hezbollah unit from regrouping and rebuilding its strength, authorities said Tuesday.The strikes in Lebanon's northeastern Beqaa Valley were aimed at military facilities belonging to the Hezbollah terror group's Radwan force.4. Israel Strikes Syrian Govt Forces in Druze-Majority Sweida- in what Israeli PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz said was meant to protect “the Druze in Syria due to the deep brotherly alliance with our Druze citizens in Israel.”5. Ukraine could secure victory over Russia if international partners supply Kyiv with additional air defense systems and end resistance to long-range strikes inside Russian territory, according to a Major Oleh Shyriaiev, Commander of Ukraine's 225th Separate Assault Battalion.6. France to Spend $74.8 Billion on Defense in 2027. The move would represent a full doubling of the nation's defense spending since 2017.7. US-Australian Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025. Countries participating in the drills alongside the US and Australia are Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and the United Kingdom with Malaysia and Vietnam as observers. China is expected, as has been the case in past iterations of Talisman Sabre, to deploy a surveillance ship to spy on the sea phases of the exercise.8.  Tropic Lightning Division Now Equipped with HIMARS. This week the US Army's 25th Infantry Division (Schofield Barracks, Hawaii) began the six-week process of replacing eight 105mm and six 155mm howitzers with 16 HIMARS launchers. The Division is not completely shedding towed artillery, as it will retain a single cannon battalion with two batteries of 105mm howitzers and one battery of M777 155mm howitzers.
