Towards a National Health Policy

Towards a National Health Policy

 The supreme court has given a timely  direction   to the central and state governments regarding  the conduct of sterilisation camps since, considerable number of deaths have occurred due to family planning surgery performed in the sterilisation camps  is India’s population policy has always been women centric. A comparison between  data on tubectomies  and vasectomies proves this point. The attitude of callously treating  the young mothers deaths  in sterilization camps  by giving inadequate monetary compensation is injustice to the families which have been losing  young women leaving  husbands   and young children to manage their households . Education and employment of women have already proved to have reduced fertility rate . But to make these positive steps more effective ,certain other measures like, liberal scholarships for higher education  , more number of women hostels,  easy access to education loans , flexi time, part-time, work from home options and baby care centers in the work campuses are to be provided on a large scale to women. Women , especially rural women are to be educated about the various methods of spacing of children , because sterilization is imposed on them  without giving choices to other means of reducing fertility rate . The Population division of the UN has understood the reason for greater reliance on sterilization and hence  , has noted down the mismatch   between the various  population control measures  in India .

Karnataka versus Tamil Nadu

Due to the intensification of the agitation against the court order to release water to Tamil Nadu from Cavery, several man day are lost , valuable property like buses and cars are destroyed  , Schools and colleges remain closed , tourism and normal life are affected and  business in both the states is affected . Yet the Karnataka government and the central government remained passive for several days and only they woke up from deep slumber . Why are  the Tamil Nadu governments which have ruled this states so far ,never considered the option pf improving the water supply position in the state through water conservation methods and and water generation methods from new sources as the Israel and gulf countries do? Why does the Karnataka government thinks that, it can tolerate disobedience to court orders ? They belong to Indian Federation or an independent island which happened to be located   within the  Indian territory . The repetition of this problem year after year is very irritation and speaks volumes about the standard of the governance of the Federal structure in India

Court's verdict on Sindur project, West Bengal

Left front parties always claim that they are on the side of the poor and marginalised sections like small farmers ,unorganised labourers and against the exploitation  of the poor by richer sections in any form .  How then , their government in West Bengal when ruled by thew left did such an injustice to the agricultural community in spite , of their strong and prolonged struggle and used brutal methods to force them to part with their tiny pieces of  lands , a source of their livelihood to favour one corporate  house?  We are happy that ,at last justice is delivered to Singur farmers . The apprehension that corporate investment in new project will be hindered is not needed . They can afford to buy land through justifiable methods as they procure other resources for their project through direct purchases . It is a relief to the farmers that, the new Land  and Acquisition Act will put an end  the unholy alliance of the corporate houses  and the government in power resulting the exploitation of the land owners in the name of industrialisation .The left parties should realise that because thay have deviated from their basic ideologies, the voters have lost faith in their concern fort the down trodden
