Multi-sectoral approach needed
The first twenty eight days of life are the most vulnerable period
for newborns. Even with neonatal mortality declining by half since 1990
globally, it is worth addressing the basics. Emphasis must be on providing
care for the mother and the child around the time of birth. Maternal
care, specifically labour and delivery care (responsible for a quarter
of deaths globally) and other high-impact interventions on the day of
the birth can significantly reduce neonatal mortality. Yet, less than
a tenth of mothers who see skilled providers receive eight key interventions.
Neonatal mortality is twice the rate for mothers with no education as
compared to mothers with secondary and higher education, with neonates
born to the youngest and oldest mothers being the most vulnerable.
Morbidity in neonates and mothers, can be reduced by improving nutrition,
sanitation and hygiene, most importantly for the crucial thousand days
from conception. Pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria remain the major killers.
A multi-sectoral approach is needed, indicators are known, common metrics
are called for and targets are within reach. Prevention counts on the
basics. Throw out inefficient people. Time to get to work in the 5 years
ahead to sustain NDA govt and come back to power in 2019.

DATE WITH RTI

All information about a government servant is private
The appellant sought certified copies of the documents of all
the lecturers/HODs of a Polytechnic college relating to their
names, appointment orders, promotion orders, pay fixation orders,
pay fixation orders after 6th Pay Commission, enhancement orders,
pay modification/alteration orders, etc. The matter came up before
the Central Information Commission which ruled that except for
information that can be disclosed u/s 4(1)(b), all other information
about the employees would be personal information, which includes
the service details, property returns, etc. The CIC directed the
public authority to give only the information relating to the
names of the lecturers working in the Polytechnic, along with
their designations and pay scale.
Comments
Many public information officers are harassed by RTI applicants
who seek information about a government servant through a series
of RTI applications. This order provides a way to deal with such
cases.
