@Research Paper <#LINE#>Regional Patterns of Food intake and Nutrients in Rural India: Evidence from NSS 66th round<#LINE#>Abha@Gupta,Pushpendra@Kumar<#LINE#>1-11<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IRJSS-2015-101.pdf<#LINE#>Centre for the Study of Regional Development, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, INDIA @ International Institute for Population Sciences, Deonar, Mumbai, INDIA <#LINE#>6/4/2015<#LINE#>27/5/2015<#LINE#> In the post reform period, India has witnessed a drastic change in food consumption pattern. There has been a fall in cereal intake particularly in coarse cereals whereas consumption of other food items (vegetables, fruits, oil and milk products) has not increased significantly especially in the diet of rural population. This change in food consumption has led to a drop in average per capita calorie and protein intakes which are one of the widely used indicators of nutrition. Besides, India’s performance on child anthropometric measures such as height for age, weight for height and weight for age is even worse than the sub Saharan countries of Africa. Thus, poor nutrition level in India remains an issue of wide public concern and debate. Most of the studies deal with nutrition at macro level and there are dearth of them which examine regional pattern of food and nutrient intake. This study which is based on National Sample Survey (NSS) 66thConsumer Expenditure Schedule (2009-10) attempts to exhibit food consumption and nutrition (in terms of energy, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, fat, vitamin C, iron and calcium) distribution across 85 NSS regions. Findings of the study show that Indian diet is monotonous based on cereals and milk products which are major source of all nutrients. Regions with higher intake of cereals and milk appear to consume most of the nutrients. It is also evidenced that there are large regional gaps found between northern, southern and north-eastern NSS regions on nutrition parameters in rural India. However, findings of the study need to be correlated with other similar studies as consumption of nutrients not only determines nutrition security.<#LINE#> @ @ Food and Agricultural Organization, The State of Food Insecurity in the World - Eradicating World Hunger,Taking Stock Ten Years after the World Food Summit,Rome (2006)@No $ @ @ Dev S., Mahendra S. and Alakh N., Food Security in India: performance, Challenges and Policies, New Delhi: Oxfam India Working Paper series VII (2010)@No $ @ @ Deaton A. and Drèze J., Food and Nutrition in India: Facts and Interpretations, Economic and Political Weekly, 44(7),42-65 (2009) @No $ @ @ Radhakrishna R. and Reddy K.

There are numerous historical records which show that danger from dacoits, illness and wild animals were major resistance to travel form one court to another. Yet, there was a man of action during the time of 8th and 9th century who not only traveled from north to south and east to west to all major places of then India, but also propounded such a system of travel and tourism in which people have to travel throughout the country in all four directions to complete their sacred journey. He was none other than the great Indian philosopher, popularly known as Adi Shankaracharya. He was also a great thinker of scientific outlook. The focus of present paper is to access his personality as an architect who wove such a web of Indian pilgrimage tourism system which attracts the people from every nook and corner still today. <#LINE#> @ @ Aiyer Krishnaswami C.N., Life and Times of Shankara, G.A.

It follows an action research design which tested the effectiveness of intervention programs in imbibing the culture of research among the faculty. A validated questionnaire measuring the attitude, skills and practices in research of the faculty was utilized. The respondents agreed that they would like to make more use of research in their teaching, that research is relevant to their teaching and it is valuable in improving teaching quality. However, the faculty-respondents were adamant about feeling alienated by the language of research, that there is too-much evidence based practice in teaching and that research is written for practitioners. A slight majority of the faculty read research to support their teaching practice. A great majority are not taking part in any research-based study leading to further qualifications which means that they are not active participants in concretizing research as one of the functions of a university. Majority have not undertaken any school-based action research of any kind. Interventions such as Mentoring the Mentors Program and conduct of research capability building were implemented. The mentoring program yielded a number of research proposals done by faculty in groups. Seminar-workshops about the research process enhanced the faculty’s knowledge and skills. <#LINE#> @ @ Canete L., Producing Evidence on Welfare Effects: The Role of SUCs in Impact Evaluation of Development Projects, (2013) @No $ @ @ World Declaration on Higher Education for the TwentFirst Century: Vision and Action and Framework for Change and Development in Higher Education.

The main concerns of chronic illnesses are constant monitoring of one’s health status and better management of the illness. In this context, the study explored the role of health status and self-regulation in those suffering from chronic illness and in those who are not suffering from the same. Survey method was employed and a between group design was used. A sample of 60 adults, 30 asthmatic and 30 non-asthmatic adults were selected through purposive sampling method. Health status questionnaire and Self-regulation questionnaire were used. Health status and its domains and self-regulation. There was a significant difference between asthmatic and non-asthmatic adults with reference to health status, health perception, physical functioning, role limitation attributing to physical health, energy, body pain, role limitation attributing to mental health, social functioning and mental health. The present study indicates the necessity of creating and increasing awareness of the importance of self-regulation in the context of chronic illnesses. Further, there is a need to improve illness management and maintain better health status and quality of life. <#LINE#> @ @ Kotwani A., Availability, price, and affordability of asthma medicines in five Indian states, International Journal Tuberculosis Lung Diseases, 13, 574-9 (2009) Retrieved from http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs /documents/s16216e /s16216e.pdf @No $ @ @ Kotwani A., Access to essential medicines and standard treatment for chronic diseases, Indian Journal of Pharmacology, 42, 127-8 (2010) Retrieved from http://www.ijp-online.com/article.asp?issn=0253-7613; year=2010;volume=42;issue=3;spage=127;epage=128;aulast=Kotwani @No $ @ @ WHO (World Health Organization), Fact sheets: Asthma, Diabetes and Epilepsy (2007) , Retrieved from http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets. @No $ @ @ National Family Health Survey, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, (2009) , Retrieved from http://www.nfhsindia.org/data/india/indch6.pdf. @No $ @ @ Burg I.N. and Ingall C.G., The immune system.

Unbridled greed for development resulted in massive destruction of trees to build ships and also to lay railway track which eventually led to displacement of the people from their original habitation where they lived since time immemorial. It further debased them by ruining their livelihood, degrading their environment, disarticulating and disturbing their socio cultural institutions. This trauma of displacement coupled and cuddled even after the independence by constructing large irrigation dams, coal mining, and industrialization. Although, development programmes aim at developing and providing better life, displacement of people became inevitable either involuntarily or forcibly. However, when it comes to the displacement or resettlement it is lower stratum of people mostly tribals and scheduled caste people who are badly affected while others enjoy the fruits of the national development of this kind. They are forced to offer their socio- cultural and economic sacrifices at the altar of national interest. With reference to the above background, this paper being empirical in nature deals with three anthropological theoretical models proposed by anthropologists and reflects on them. Based on the empirical field experience with the displaced Banjara tribals due to Nagarjuna Sagar Dam which is located in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It suggests some modifications to the existing theoretical models. This paper concludes that the anthropological models are most suitable to understand the social realities when the society is in a state of flux. <#LINE#> @ @ http://bombayhighcourt.nic.in/libweb/oldlegislation/1878.07.pdf, (2015) @No $ @ @ http://envfor.nic.in/legis/forest/forest4.pdf, (2011) @No $ @ @ Kothari Smitu., Whose nation?

The spectacle of death, destruction, gender violence and disappearances witnessed over and over again in Kashmir is the result of culture of impunity that has flourished in the aftermath of year’s conflict and militarisation. In the face of these human violations, failure in justice system in the state judiciary and military tribunal further add to this culture of impunity. The reign of impunity constitutes a form of violence and a “structural element of everyday reality”. Impunity accorded to the armed forces has been a norm in Kashmir valley rather than an exception. Impunity represents a challenge in Kashmir valley not only in cases of recent violations of the right to life, but also of those committed in the past in respect of which effective investigations and prosecutions still have not been conducted. Complaints were widely raised that the wheels of justice, when they turn, do so too slowly. Legal proceedings drift for years, while alleged perpetrators remain large in the community, often on bail. The fight against impunity in Kashmir valley is faced with lot of challenges at various stages of accountability process. During the stage of reporting a crime, it is often heard that local police authority refuses to register a first information report (FIR) against the military personal, including those related to rapes or searching for captive persons, and those persons who are attempting to register a case are often subjected to threatening treatment or to the fact that their complaints are not given serious consideration. The existence of judiciary holds the promise of accountability and justice, but facade of redress, pattern of cover-up and denials are pervasive and common throughout the legal system at both state and central levels. Indian occupied Kashmir is one of the most highly militarized areas in the world since the last two and a half decade. The history of armed violence, disappearances, murders, illegal killings, rapes and human sufferings has touched every nook and cranny of the Kashmir valley. The absolute number of people killed, maimed and tortured will probably never be known till now and no one has been held accountable for these crimes. National security laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), is in operation in Kashmir valley since 1989, assures impunity or free reign to defence personal accused of those violations. The present paper highlighted the violations and abuses which the Indian military has committed and have been found accountable and the free reign provided to them in the valley by the central Government. <#LINE#> @ @ Kannabiran K.G. the slow burn in the illustrated weekly of India (1990) @No $ @ @ Suchitra Vijayan.

Scarcity of urban land, ever growing migration and land values in urban agglomeration and vast encroachments over urban land in form of slums and squatters has been creating housing problems in manifold. Due to absence of clearly defined land titles, mounting pressure to provide tenure security and housing to all, scarcity of tenable land for housing development and many other issues related with land, has resulted marginal success to many slum intervention programmes. There has been growing need to resolve the issues related to land so that potential hurdles in the passage of slum intervention may be identified and resolved through appropriate approaches. The case studies carried out for this research work has identified that conventional wisdom of slums as typical settlements is not true infect, slums are diverse and complex settlement that cannot be intervene through one fit all approaches. This has felt the need of a multifaceted but simple framework for depicting contextual differentiation for various types of settlements identified as slum. The proposed framework which we have presented here provides a systematic approach to classify slums into five broad categories for tenability that will help to design more context specific policy intervention. <#LINE#> @ @ United Nation Human Settlement Programme, ‘The Challenges of Slums: Global Report on Human Settlements, Earthscan, London UK.

His decision of free treatment of all admitted leprosy patients indicates his incredible interest and effort of serving these helpless individuals abandoned even by their own people. The OPD of his hospital provides purest and cheapest medicines of all skin diseases and other chronic ailments.

Gender discrimination is a common practice in all most all society and discrimination is also observed in women’s participation for developmental programmes.
