MUMBAI: NDTV 24X7 is launching a series Uncommon Ground. Starting on 27 July, the show will discuss challenges that India faces today.

Slated to air at 9:30 pm on every Sunday, the eight-part-series will cover fundamental issues that confront India like food, healthcare, employment, energy, land rights, financial inclusion, access to transport and sustainable development.

The show will guest like Mukesh Ambani and Dr RK Pachauri debating energy solutions for India, Anand Mahindra and Medha Patkar analyzing the complexities of land rights, Sunil Mittal and Aruna Roy debating the right employment model and Rahul Bajaj and Dinesh Mohan analyzing the pros and cons of public versus private transport among others.

We hope that this show will open up lines of communication that will spur the growth of modern India in a manner that is both rewarding and inclusive."
