Child Mortality in Rural India.
by jagadeesan girishan on Mar 30, 2018 09:08 AM

Monsoon failed, No concrete plan and execution to save water by the govt, Farmer suicides, Under nourishment. What is the definition of Smart which is a jargon used for cities as Smart cities? why not Smart villages? we are seeing lot of imported fruits in the market. Is it that to facilitate American products from salt to Tissue paper?
It is high time that Government should initiate war footage reforms to revolutionise Agriculture, Agricultural infrastructure like Connecting the rivers, Saving the water. Rain water harvesting in large scale. Desilting the lakes, constructing check dam to avoid water getting into the sea. Growing native plants and trees. This can be done with peoples involvement and CSR activities with corporates. First step let the rivers within the state get connected along with desilting of the lakes and water reservoir and central allocate fund for the same.
Now it is DO or DIE situation

Child Mortality in Rural India.
by Ahi Sen on Mar 30, 2018 04:28 AM

While Kerala has improved the position of child's survival rate by diminishing the mortality ratio to 12.5 percent, all the states ruled by BJP or NDA are lagging behind. The politicians in such states should spare time to improve the condition of living in rural areas by providing means of livelihood than preaching worship of cow.

Child mortality in rural India is alarming

Obvious, it is not covered under 'Make in India'. Only survival of the fittest. At least prior to 80s, Govt. used to popularise schemes like baby care, family planning - 2 'bus'but now the rules have been revised, the more births (4-5), more children, more future votes, more MLAs and MPs, more ministers of all castes including reserved, and more recent calculation - more GDP growth?. Otherwise, India is the most densely populated countries and all available natural resources fully exploited, exhausted, and are now invading other parts including Syria, Iraq where ISIS kill them for p[leasure and lot of 'halla-golla' domestically; can not blame other countries as they will butcher the remaining living there.

by V Nagarajan on Mar 28, 2018 05:02 PM

We must start a course of study by name BSc Rural health,a 3 year degree course plus one year of internship in a Govt/Private hospital.They must be taught all the subjects relevant to Rural areas and posted to man the rural health centers with lab facilities and an Ambulance.They must be paid well to attract talent.

Child Mortality

The main cause of child mortality is malnutrition of mother. Govt should have scheme of providing free vitamins pill and free advisory about diet plan would be mother. Instead of concentrating and spending public money on fancy scheme like gosuraksha ,they should propagate maasuraksha.

Why is the write hesitating so much
by piri on Mar 18, 2018 01:11 PM

to say Child mortality in rural North India is alarming ?

Why is he hiding this obvious fact by replacing *rural North India* with *rural India* ?

Why is he so nervous about admitting that North India is one of the most backward regions in the entire world ?

Cut Pay to GovtMaadharChodhs (GMCs), Divert Money for Development

Cut Pay to GovtMaadharChodhs (GMCs), Divert Money for Development




Nowadays many GovtMaadharChodhs (aka GMCs or Gov employees) get pensions over 30K / pm, a gov peon or junior asst gets salary Rs 35K / pm, gov teacher 50k, lecturer Rs 1.5 lak, professor Rs 2 lak, etc.

Govt is collecting taxes, through GST, Income Tax, etc from the 97% hardworking people in the pvt sector to pay exorbitant salaries to 3% GMCs.


I appreciate Modi's initiatives on many fronts, but what all these tax collections are for… to pay salaries to GMCs, 90% of whom are good-for-nothing fellows?

In pvt companies, only top 3% could be corrupt, but 97% employees have to work hard. In govt companies 90% are corrupt and / or laggard fellows.


GMC laggards seldom work, but work very hard when there is scope for corruption. GMCs spend 80% time eating paan & spitting on walls, talking SexPoliticsAndNonsense, playing cards for 2 hrs when lunch time is 1 hr, etc



GMCs eating up 10% GDP / yr are burden on economy. Only defense people deserve good salaries and salaries of all GMCs must be reduced to market-average levels. Stop GMCs’ salary revisions in future and divert the money thus saved for improving primary education, paying family planning incentives, paying poor farmers who are often driven to commit suicide & spreading English language among poor. PAYING HIGH SALARIES TO GMCs KILLS PATRIOTIC SPIRIT AMONG COMMON HARDWORKING POPULACE.

This is the reason why people lost interest in media
by auryas on Mar 18, 2018 11:17 AM  | Hide replies

This is the reason why society lost trust in media. Exaggeration, bombastic language and out of context cr$p.

The issue of Rural Infant death needs to be addressed like the population growth. It does not paint a good picture on our medicare system.


But fact of the matter is , web sites like this , with predisposed prejudices have a single point agenda to paint the government in bad picture in every which aspect of the country.

Sh^t churning web sites first needs to reform themselves and their CR%P HOLES of LABS, and make unbiased, genuine news available to people before they resort to accusing the government.

Ok. So, for funds, run to Narendra Modi !

Actually, he has other ideas that are not related to health !

And, for executing such ideas that have nothing to do with health, he has been progressively reducing the budget allocations as a proportion of GDP year after year for the last 4 years !

And, to divert the attention of the gullible masses from his act of reducing the already threadbare budget for health, he has been launching fancy named schemes (Swasthya yo....., manga...yo..., thenga... yo..., etc.) and the so called ^worlds biggest health insurance* (with just Rs. 2000 crores taken out from the allocation for public health) !

Run to him and tell him to stop fooling commoners, especially north Indian ones who are easily fooled !
