Anu Anand is in New Delhi to explore some of the issues shaping India's 2019 election. Anu will be joined by Kiran Bhatty, a senior fellow at the Centre for Policy Research, and Prashant Nanda who covers education at the Mint financial newspaper. Through the show we'll hear about how education as an issue is playing into this election - with 600 million Indians under the age of 25. We'll hear of the pressures put on young students to succeed, sometimes with tragic results. And also, a big push to bring more women into the workforce, with dedicated vocational training centres providing support for women and families.
