After made-in-India cough syrups were implicated in the deaths of at least 141 children in Cameroon, Gambia, and Uzbekistan, and made-in-India eye-drops were recalled in the US and Sri Lanka due to contamination, a recent Bloomberg Businessweek investigation has now linked a made-in-India anticancer drug to the deaths of at least four children in Colombia. 

Also, in today’s episode, expectant mothers in India are turning to a cluster of apps to help them continue the tradition of educating children while they are still in the womb. In other words, it's the making of Abhimanyu in digital India.
