Omar Abdullah Takes Oath With The Promise of Statehood to J&K

Omar Abdullah Takes Oath With The Promise of Statehood to J&K
National Conference(NC) party vice-president, Umar Abdullah, greets lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha to take oath as the first chief minister of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The oath ceremony was conducted on 16th October 2024 in Srinagar. Abdullah was elected after the first-ever elections in Jammu and Kashmir post Article 370 abrogation in the state. Along with him, five other ministers also took the oath. This includes three ministers from the Jammu division and three from the Kashmir division, including Umar Abdullah. In the Jammu division, the BJP sweeps to victory.
The new National Conference (NC) government of Jammu and Kashmir is a coalition government with the Congress party. Congress has decided to stay out of the active cabinet, while the inclusion of Mehbooba Mufti’s PDP in the new government of Jammu and Kashmir is still ambiguous.

 

Demand for Statehood

The NC-Congress-led government in the newly formed union territory of Jammu and Kashmir seeks to restore statehood as one of their first few steps after coming to power. Omar Abdullah is determined to pass a resolution in his first cabinet meeting after taking charge as the new CM. “After the formation of the government, I hope in the first cabinet meeting, the cabinet will pass a resolution impressing upon the Centre to restore the statehood. The government should then take that resolution to the prime minister”, said Abdullah.
According to the CM, the demand for statehood was promised by the Prime Minister, Home Minister and other ministers after conducting the de-limitation exercise and peaceful elections in the state.
When asked about his party’s relation with the centre, Abdulla responded, “The people have not voted for a confrontation. The people of J-K have voted because they want employment, they want development, they want the restoration of the statehood, they want to address electricity and other issues and that redressal will not happen by having a confrontation with New Delhi.”, Abdullah said.
The statement was in light of the decision of the current J&K LG, Manoj Sinha, to elect five MLAs from the Bharathi Janta Party. These MLAs will be included in the newly formed government. For Abdullah, these five MLAs will not be able to impact the decisions of the elected government a lot. He rather confidently spoke about representing the voices from Kashmir, those who elected his party to power.
The Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Hameed Karra told the press that the party has decided to stay out of the cabinet government and provide outside support to the NC government’s demand for statehood. The Congress party has been demanding the restoration of statehood of J&K from the centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, Congress has also left hints of joining the government in days to come.

 

Article 370: A Legal Battle Ahead

In the first few days of August 2019, the BJP-led government at the Centre started to deploy more troops in the then-state of Jammu and Kashmir. This followed the stunning announcement of the government to scrap Article 370 which provided the disturbed state with some autonomy over its functioning. Section 35 A of this article gave powers to the state of Jammu and Kashmir to have its own laws, constitution and state flag. This was done because historically, the state has been a battlefield for international disputes with neighbouring countries of China and Pakistan.
Also, during the time of partition, the people of the state were promised a referendum to choose between Pakistan and India. Being the only Muslim-majority state in India, the referendum of the people was the constitutional way of integrating the state with India.
However, the actual series of events that followed during the partition and independence of India did not provide Jammu and Kashmir with any decision-making power.
While supporters of this action by the BJP find the step important for the complete integration of the entire nation as one, critical voices have strongly opposed the move as an attack on Kashmir. The move will change the demographic character of the Muslim-majority state by allowing non-Kashmiri citizens of India, to buy land for personal and commercial use.
What remains under debate is whether the scrapping of Article 370 in 2019 by the BJP government is legal or not. As per Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, any modifications to the present arrangement can only be made with the consent of the state government. However, Article 370 was scrapped overnight by the BJP-led government during a global medical lockdown. The then chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti, was reduced to a minority voice. Many other political leaders of the state were also put under arrest while many areas within the state experienced shutdowns and excessive military surveillance.
As far as the people of Jammu and Kashmir are concerned, many are not happy with the decision. While for some other residents of the state,  this decision has brought neither good nor bad.

Nilgiris Police adopts ‘Police Akka’ initiative to enhance safety of college students

Nilgiris Police adopts ‘Police Akka’ initiative to enhance safety of college students
To enhance safety of college students across the district and handle harassment cases more strictly, the Nilgiris District Police in Tamil Nadu inaugurated the ‘Police Akka’ project on Wednesday. The initiative was launched N.S. Nisha, who took charge as the District Superintendent of Police in August, this year. The initiative was launched by Coimbatore Police in 2022, which is likely to be adopted across the state.
Under this initiative, a senior police woman has been nominated for all 16 colleges in the district as a single point of contact for the students. Contact details of the officer have been shared with the college authorities which will be put on display in every college. The purpose is to help students to contact her in case they need any help and complain directly to her if they are facing any kind of harassment.
The police will also host sensitization programmes on issues like crime against women, cyber crime and drug abuse. The police will also visit the colleges from time to time and conduct self-defence classes for the students.

What is ‘Police Akka’ initiative?

In October 2022, Coimbatore Police launched a project called ‘Police Akka’ (Police sister) to prevent young girls, especially college students from falling prey to cybercrime. As part of the initiative, female cops pay a visit to colleges once every week or fortnight and interact with girl students spreading awareness and warning them about different kinds of cyber crimes which they can fall prey to. Contact numbers of these female cops are shared with the students so that they can reach out in case of any query and seek assistance.

‘Kaaval Uthavi’ app

The Nilgiris District Police is also raising awareness through an app called the ‘Kaaval Uthavi’ app. The purpose is to trigger and send emergency alerts to the police control room from someone in distress directly through their mobile phone.
In an attempt to curb drug abuse, the police is also conducting vehicle checks and surprise checks on people who had been previously arrested for trafficking in narcotics.

Panch Shakti initiative by Pune Police

Recently, Pune Police launched ‘Panch Shakti’ which is a five-pronged initiative to ensure the safety of women, children and people in Baramati of Pune district. The initiative was announced by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. The initiative focuses on enhancing the safety measures in Baramati with special attention to children and women.
A ‘Shakti Box’ or a complaint box will be kept at various locations such as schools, colleges, commercial establishments, banks, government offices, ST stands and coaching classes. The purpose is to help women and girls to report incidents of harassment like eve-teasing and stalking.
As part of this initiative, the police will also conduct awareness programmes for the youth to promote safety and security.

 

 

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty: India’s Progress in Poverty Reduction

October 17th is observed as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty every year across the globe. The day is aimed at raising awareness about the people living in poverty and suffering through the consequences of it. The day is also set to recognise all the efforts that are being made around the world at various levels for eradication of poverty. The theme of International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2024 is “Ending Social and Institutional Maltreatment: Acting together for just, peaceful, and inclusive societies.”

What is Poverty?

According to Investopedia, poverty is the state or condition in which people or communities lack the financial resources and other essentials for a minimum standard of living. People and families who live in poverty may not have access to proper housing, clean water, healthy food, and medical attention. Poverty is a socioeconomic condition that is the result of multiple factors apart from income. These factors include race, sexual identity, sexual orientation, and access to education, among others.

India’s Progress in reducing Poverty

India has made a significant progress in reducing poverty. According to a recent report by Niti Aayog, about 248 million people have escaped multidimensional poverty in the last nine years. This is a significant reduction as the people that were multidimensionally poor represented 29 per cent of the total population in 2015-16, who now represent 11 per cent in 2023. Some of the major causes that are attributed to this progress are better access to education, nutrition, sanitation facilities, clean cooking fuel, housing, healthcare, etc. This has happened as the Government of India has made an effort to work on addressing each individual aspect of poverty, through various schemes such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Mid-Day Meal Scheme, Ayushman Bharat Yojana etc.; rather than focusing on just increasing the incomes of individuals.
The states that have realised most reduction in people living in poverty are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh.

Monetary Poverty is still a major challenge

While the country has progressed in tackling poverty by addressing various dimensions of it, there is still a major gap when it comes to addressing the monetary poverty. According to the World Bank, about 11.9 per cent of the total population of India was living on less than $2.15 per day in the year 2021. This is the threshold for extreme poverty. The report by the World Bank also noted that there are major disparities between rural and urban areas and among various states. For example, the report has stated that the rural regions in the country have witnessed greater improvements, as compared to the urban areas, especially because of the increased migration to urban areas in the face of rising unemployment and not very significant rise in wages.

Conclusion

India has committed to reduce multidimensional poverty to less than 1 per cent by 2030. In order to meet this target, there is a need for continuous efforts by government, civil society, corporates and fellow citizens in a collaborative manner for coming up with inclusive and innovative solutions. It is only through a collaborative approach we can address the issue of poverty in a holistic manner and take complete advantage of the demographic dividend of India, thus getting closer to achieving the status of a “developed country”.

The Role of Public-Private Partnerships in Strengthening India’s Healthcare Infrastructure

The Role of Public-Private Partnerships in Strengthening India’s Healthcare Infrastructure
India’s healthcare system is on a path of significant transformation, driven by proactive government initiatives aimed at enhancing infrastructure, expanding access to services, and addressing both communicable and non-communicable diseases. The government has launched numerous programs and policies, to provide extensive health coverage and improve service delivery across the country. However, to fully realize the potential of these efforts, there is a pressing need for active collaboration with private entities. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can play a pivotal role in this context by combining the strengths of both sectors to accelerate innovation, ensure equitable access to healthcare, and translate cutting-edge research into practical solutions.
Listed here are some of the key areas where an effective public-private partnership can help create a positive impact:

Enhancing Infrastructure and Service Delivery

One of the most significant contributions of PPPs in healthcare is the improvement of physical infrastructure. The private sector’s involvement brings in much-needed capital investment, advanced technology, and management expertise. For instance, partnerships can facilitate the construction of modern hospitals, diagnostic centres, and telemedicine facilities, especially in underserved rural areas. The private sector’s efficiency in project execution and management ensures that these facilities are not only built but also maintained and operated effectively.
Moreover, PPPs help in bridging the gap between urban and rural healthcare services. Mobile health clinics, telemedicine services, and outreach programs run by private entities can extend quality healthcare to remote areas. These initiatives often include preventive care, maternal and child health services, and chronic disease management, thereby addressing the healthcare needs of vulnerable populations.

Strengthening Research Infrastructure

A robust research infrastructure is essential for the continuous improvement of healthcare services. PPPs can significantly contribute to this area by combining the research capabilities of public institutions with the innovation and agility of private enterprises. Collaborative research projects, co-funded by the government and private sector, can focus on pressing health issues such as infectious diseases, chronic illnesses, and emerging health threats.
Such collaborations can lead to the development of new drugs, vaccines, and medical technologies. For instance, the development and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines in India involved significant collaboration between public research institutions, private pharmaceutical companies, and international partners. These efforts resulted in the rapid development, testing, and distribution of vaccines, showcasing the potential of PPPs in accelerating research and development.

Entrepreneurial Framework

An entrepreneurial framework that supports innovation and the translation of research into practical solutions is vital for strengthening healthcare infrastructure. PPPs can nurture this framework by providing funding, mentorship, and market access to startups and small enterprises working on healthcare innovations. Incubators and accelerators, often supported by both public and private entities, play a critical role in this ecosystem.
Startups focusing on digital health, medical devices, and biopharmaceuticals can benefit from the resources and expertise of established private companies and public institutions. For example, collaborations between tech startups and healthcare providers can lead to the development of telehealth platforms, AI-driven diagnostic tools, and remote monitoring systems. These innovations can make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and efficient.

Accelerating Access to Latest Research

The ultimate goal of PPPs in healthcare is to ensure that the latest research translates into usable and applicable services and solutions. Effective partnerships can streamline the process of moving from research to implementation. This involves not only the development of new technologies but also the training of healthcare professionals, the establishment of supply chains, and the creation of public awareness.
For instance, the integration of digital health solutions into public healthcare systems requires comprehensive training programs for healthcare workers, robust IT infrastructure, and community engagement to ensure adoption. PPPs can facilitate this process by pooling resources and expertise from both sectors.

Role of Positive Policy Support in making Public Private Partnerships effective

The success of PPPs in healthcare largely depends on positive policy support from the government. Policies that encourage private investment, provide tax incentives, and ensure a clear regulatory framework are essential. Private players can also help share suggestions and insights that can help in informed decision making to impact policy change, and also provide pilot solutions. The Indian government has been proactive in this regard, with initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat scheme, which aims to provide insurance coverage to over 500 million people and involves significant private sector participation.
Regulatory reforms that streamline approvals and facilitate faster implementation of PPP projects are crucial. The government can also play a pivotal role in ensuring that these partnerships are equitable, with clear guidelines on quality standards, and accountability. Public policy can also incentivize innovation and the adoption of new technologies, ensuring that the benefits of modern healthcare reach all segments of society.

Way Forward

Public-Private Partnerships hold immense potential for transforming India’s healthcare infrastructure. By leveraging the immense tech opportunity, virtual network of Public-Private players can help improve access to medical services, streamline communication between providers, and enable efficient data sharing, thereby improving patient care and operational efficiency. Additionally, Policy support by private players helps establish a progressive and collaborative environment that drives innovation, fosters economic growth, and leads to meaningful policy reforms, ultimately strengthening the healthcare system.
By enhancing physical infrastructure, ensuring positive policy support, strengthening research capabilities, and fostering an entrepreneurial framework, PPPs can accelerate the delivery of cutting-edge healthcare services to the population. As India continues to face evolving healthcare challenges, the role of PPPs will be increasingly vital in ensuring a resilient, inclusive, and innovative healthcare system.
