As the fastest growing major economy, India ought to have by now achieved major power status with a permanent UNSC seat. But over a decade of ineffectual defence modernisation has led to anaemic 'Comprehensive National Power'. Unsurprisingly therefore, the Lowy Institute's 2019 Asia Power Index concludes that "India underachieves relative to both its size and potential". Her 'Act-East-Policy' underperforms both in economic relationships and defence networks. In this context, a galaxy of security experts with lifetimes of experience provides deep insights into "Securing India's Strategic Space". Without a National Security Doctrine, our strategic approach is necessarily fuzzy. Hence, dealing with China, the Afghan dilemma, great power play in Central Asia and the Indo-Pacific remain reactive and diffident. Therefore, leveraging the strategic dimensions of our maritime and airpower plus fixing our ridiculous higher defence organisation assume importance. Vital issues of 'Defence Preparedness, Izzat and Morale' are another focus area. These include: reforming military intelligence; mission-oriented defence budgeting and building a sound military-industrial base to sustain our defence forces. The striking contrast between what Defence personnel sacrifice for the Nation-unto their lives-and the paltry coppers that a niggardly Babustaan-Politico combine grudgingly concedes them, highlights the need for a Kautilya Covenant. Despite this, time and again the dauntless courage and blood of our officers and jawans has redeemed the neglect and blunders of national leadership. As the pièce-de-résistance, we showcase the supreme valour of three PVC/MVC winners from the 1948 J&K War onwards and some battlefield vignettes of Indian Army.

The nation has come a long way in increasing production of food for security as well as nutritional security. The inter relationship of agriculture, food, cooking processes and health are highly complex and profoundly significant. It is complex relationships as change in any one component have effects on the viability and functioning of the other. India is home to a quarter of world's 795 million hungry people worldwide where the triple burden of malnutrition coexists. The pervasive micronutrient deficiency is known as HIDDEN HUNGER. World Bank data indicates that India has one of the world's highest demographics of children suffering from malnutrition. If food systems, based in agriculture, cannot provide all the essential nutrients in adequate quantities to sustain human life during all seasons, diseases ensue, societies suffer and development efforts stagnate. The book chapters in present book address these issues of malnutrition at the grassroots level where adoption of a multi-sectoral nutrition-sensitive approach is required. It works closely with the local communities to bring out individuals and families from the shackles of malnutrition and create nutrition smart villages. It is a model village where communities understand and take charge of their nutrition requirements, integrating agriculture with natural resource management, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
