INEQUALITIES IN ACCESSING MNCH SERVICES IN INDIA: GAPS AND CHALLENGES - A WAY FORWARD


   
                                                          ABSTRACT

   Despite substantial achievements have occurred in the improvement of health in India during the last 71 years of independence, the health outcomes remain inadequate. The  future of any nation depends upon the quality of human resources i.e. population, which in turn depends upon the quality and equitable services coverage of Maternal, New born and Child Health care (MNCH) among different socio-economic strata of population and on public health policy. In India, spending on the health has declined to 2.1 percent in 2018-19 of the total Union Budget from 2.4 percent in 2017-18. The new National Health Policy (NHP) promises to increase this to 2.5 percent by 2025. The financial requirements are actually much larger than what is targeted in the new policy; the government must spend about 3.8 percent of its GDP on health.

Objectives:
1.      To Study the inequalities in accessing MNCH services in India.
2.    To Study the Gaps  and Challenges to lessen the inequalities in accessing MNCH  services    in India.
3.      A Way Forward for the improvement of MNCH services in India.
4.      Conclusion.
Methodology:
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, GOI & WHO Websites and Reports. Reputed Journals and for update  News Papers in the concerned field.
Keywords: Maternal, New Born, Child Health Care, States, India

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EDUCATION SYSTEM IN INDIA AND USA

                                                                                                                                                                           -Dr. S. Vijay Kumar            In this article, I haved tried to explain the similarities and differences in the education system of India and USA. While, there are some similarities, there are also some significant differences too between the two education systems. It would be difficult for me to mention here in detail regarding all the differences, but I will try to highlight a few key differences that would turn the attention of the academicians, teachers, students and policy makers towards the best practices adopted by USA in its education system.   Similarities in Education System of India and USA: ·         Structured Curriculum / Syllabus ·         Reasonably qualified teachers ·         Concept of Private, Public schools/Colleges and Universities ·     A willingness on the part of childre

On the other hand, American farming is capital intensive, mostly commercial farming less than 3% of its population is dependent on farming and most farms are irrigated. Both countries give subsidies to their farmers but, US subsidies are more than Indias, hence the Doha round dipute. For a number of obvious reasons the pace and pattern of recent economic development in China and India invite a systematic comparison. It is always interesting to measure and compare the progress of these two great neighbours, comprising a large fraction of the world's poorest people, both having rec

KALESHWARAM PROJECT – A REVIEW

                                                                                - Dr. S. Vijay Kumar                                               Agriculture is the mother of most of the economies in the world. Much of its influence is on the other sectors - industry and service. India is the second largest in farm output after China. Hence, I ndia’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the near future. Even today, the share of agriculture in employment is about 49% of the population, as against around 75% at the time of independence and it is the principal source of livelihood for more than 58% of the population. Hence, Agriculture can be ignored at our own peril. The high vulnerability of agriculture is due to factors like rains, floods, dry spells, etc. beyond human control and other man made uncertainties associated with cultivation. The modern welfare state strives towards removal of uncertainti
