Several studies have highlighted the impact of family members who provide care to individuals with chronic or disabling conditions are at risk of developing emotional, mental, and physical health problems. There is a paucity of literature when it comes to the needs of the care givers for persons with ADS. The current study aimed to explore the psycho-social needs of care givers of patients with Delirium Tremens (DT) from India. The study is registered in the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2015/02/005564). Following consent, twenty five caregivers whose family member was undergoing treatment for Alcohol withdrawal DT at the Centre for Addiction Medicine, NIMHANS, participated in this qualitative explorative study. The interviews were audio recorded and later transcribed. Data analysis was performed using the General Inductive Approach which generated five themes: management of illness; follow up services; informational needs; personal needs; and miscellaneous. The results indicate that care givers in India have certain needs that must be addressed simultaneously during the treatment of persons with ADT. Knowing that care givers are prone to problems as a result of care giving, care must be taken to identify and address their needs at the earliest.<#LINE#>Chadda R.K. and Deb K.S.

It sprawls across 11,187 hectares of land in the Galle, Matara and Ratnapura districts. Over the centuries, the communities living around the periphery of Sinharaja have interacted with the forest in many ways. Basically, their livelihood is dependent on the forest resources. One of the major forest resources gathered and used by them are medicinal plants. The primary objective of the research was to study the effect of traditional medicinal plants on the life expectancy of the population living near the Northwestern (NW) slope of Sinharaja forest’s periphery. Other objectives were to study the types of medicinal plants used, exact locations from which medicinal plants were gathered, inhabitants’ knowledge of medicinal plants, the food habits of the elderly people and to assess the current trend in the use of medicinal plants by the younger generation living in the same area. Two Grama Niladari divisions comprising six villages were selected for the study done in the NW slope of Sinharaja forest’s periphery. These were Kudawa, Pethiyakanda, Pitakele and Buthkanda villages of Kudawa GN division and Suduwelipotha and Miyanapalawa villages of Weddagala North GN divisions, all of them situated in the Kalawana District Secretariat Division of the Ratnapura District.  The total number of elderly persons (those over 60 years of age) was 60, and an age stratified random sampling of 82.0% was done; from the younger population (18-35 years of age) numbering 156, a sampling of 20% was done. All of these persons were inhabitants of the six villages. A house to house survey was conducted using a questionnaire, interviews, case studies and field observation to collect data for the study from the overall population, while in addition a focus group discussion was held with the younger group.  The 18-35 age group sampling did not necessarily coincide with that of the older age group. The study was done over the period May-December, 2011.Results showed that the oldest respondent in the sample was 99 years old and in good health. The elderly population had regularly utilized the traditional medicinal plants. They said that 42.9% of the medicinal plants they gathered were from the forest, 30.6% were from their home garden, 16.3% from the village and 10.2% from the nearest market. According to the study, 43 medicinal plants have been commonly used by the elderly persons and these were mostly gathered from the forest. At present, the majority of younger persons get their medicines from the nearest market.<#LINE#>Wijayawardana K. (2010).

<#LINE#>Neo-liberalism and resistance movement for cultural revitalisation: a study on indigenous people<#LINE#>Diganta @Das <#LINE#>15-19<#LINE#>3.ISCA-IRJSS-2016-175.pdf<#LINE#>Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India<#LINE#>20/10/2016<#LINE#>2/5/2017<#LINE#>Over the decade under the era of Neo-liberalism, the indigenous people have been subjected to discriminate and deprive from their natural resources which they are using both as materially and spiritually. Neo-liberalism has brought liberalization, privatization and globalisation mode of development, as result it substitute their livelihood from agriculture to industrialisation. For the national objective of development, the government has given much impotence of structural development as the foreign investor are become grid for investment in India.  This LPG mode of development process has obliged to work for the elite section of society, as result it improvised the condition of indigenous people by depriving them from their livelihood. It has changed the relationship between nation-state and Indigenous people, has brought anti-globalisation movement and a left ideology against this change.  This article is devoted to understand how the globalisation has impacted on the Indigenous people. Again, tried to explore how the anti-globalisation movement are grown as a resistance of globalisation and tried to revitalise their traditional based culture. At last, tried to understand about the recognition of international and national laws for the development of indigenous people.<#LINE#>Aravinda L.S.

To find out the determinants influencing maternal health indicators among tribal population in five HPDs, various secondary data sources on the five HPDs in Maharashtra were reviewed. The available data suggest that six levels of determinants such as individual characteristics, family structure, community profile, availability, and accessibility of health infrastructure and facilities, district profile, and the governance issues, are influencing the maternal health Indicators. Coordinated efforts are required for developing resources and agencies for the empowerment of this population in the long run. Tailor-made programmes to influence the health seeking behaviour of tribal mothers will play an important role and will bring about improvement in the maternal health indicators in these districts.<#LINE#>World Health Organization (2017).@Maternal health.@http://www.who.int/topics/maternal_health/en/.
