Clear Cut is an independent, data-driven social development magazine in India that makes complex issues easy to understand. We tell stories about people, communities, and public systems—using facts, field experiences, and thoughtful analysis to bring clarity to a noisy world.
We focus on what affects everyday life: health that empowers or fails, classrooms that include or exclude, livelihoods shaped by inequality, gender gaps that still hold people back, and climate shocks that challenge how we live and work. Our reporting is grounded in research, on-ground conversations, and insights from experts across India’s development sector.
Our readers include CSR leaders, development professionals, policymakers, researchers, academicians, students, and anyone who wants to understand India beyond headlines. With deep roots in India’s RMLE and impact-evaluation ecosystem, we bring evidence-based stories, insights from large-scale studies, and perspectives shaped by more than two decades of sector experience.
Through our monthly print and digital editions, data stories, interviews, investigations, and sector analyses, Clear Cut has become a trusted space for people who care about social change.
If you’re looking for a social development magazine in India that is factual, honest, and future-focused—your search ends with Clear Cut.
