In light of the tragic incident at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, the Union Health Ministry is taking urgent action to improve healthcare security. A recent directive has instructed states to implement measures like CCTV surveillance, security personnel, and clear SOPs to protect healthcare workers and patients. This is a crucial step towards preventing similar tragedies. #HealthcareSecurity #HospitalSafety #HealthMinistry #India #PatientSafety #RGKarHospital Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India Digital Health News #DHN https://lnkd.in/ebzQvuaS

Rural poverty in India is a complex issue, and several socioeconomic factors contribute to it. The key determinants include: #Dependency #Ratio Households with a higher dependency ratio, meaning more non-working members, are more likely to be poor * #Education Lower levels of education, particularly years of schooling, significantly impact #poverty levels -* #Occupation* #Engagement in low-paying or unstable occupations contributes to poverty #Gender of Household Head Female-headed households are more vulnerable to poverty Per #Capita Monthly Income Lower income levels directly affect poverty status #Access to #Credit Limited access to credit and financial services exacerbates poverty - #Caste and #Tribe Poverty is disproportionately high among certain caste and tribe groups #Health and #Education Limited access to quality healthcare and education perpetuates poverty #Geographical #Location Remote or resource-scarce areas face unique challenges These factors intertwine, creating a poverty trap that's difficult to escape. For instance, limited #education options lead to lower-paying #jobs, reducing income and access to #credit, #healthcare, and #education. The 2024 #Global #Multidimensional #Poverty #Index report highlights that 84% of the world's poor live in rural areas, with India being one of the countries with the largest number of poor individuals. Addressing rural poverty requires a multifaceted approach, incorporating #education, #economic #empowerment, and social inclusion strategies. Reforming #policies and #programs, such as those supported by the UNAccc (UNITY OF NATIONS ACTION FOR CLIMATE CHANGE COUNCIL) , can play a crucial role in addressing these #socioeconomic determinants. Some potential solutions include: Improving Access to Education and Healthcare Investing in #qualityeducation and healthcare services in rural areas. #Economic #Empowerment Providing training, credit, and livelihood opportunities for rural households. #Social #Inclusion Addressing caste and tribe disparities through targeted programs. #Infrastructure #Development Enhancing rural infrastructure to facilitate access to markets and services. By understanding the complex interplay of #socioeconomic factors contributing to rural poverty in #India, we can work towards effective solutions to improve #livelihoods and #quality of #life.

This statement (published in ET) from the new Minister of #MSME doesn't auger too well for the MSME sector. If he doesn't have clarity on the ministry that he has been assigned, how will he contribute as a minister? Here are just a few key aspects pertaining to the MSME sector that the minister should know: 🔆 MSMEs form the bedrock of India's economy, fostering #innovation, creating #jobs, and driving economic #growth. 🔆 MSMEs account for over 8% of GDP, 45% of manufacturing output, and 40% of exports. 🔆 Employment-wise, MSMEs are primary job creators, employing over 111 million people. Their adaptability and widespread presence, especially in rural areas, ensure inclusive economic development. 🔆 MSMEs drive innovation by embracing new technologies, fuelling India's economic growth and global competitiveness. 🔆 MSMEs are crucial economic drivers, representing about 50% of the world's GDP 🔆 In India, MSMEs contribute around 40% of the GDP, and are significant employers, constituting around 40% of total employment. A staggering 70% of employment within the business sector, excluding agriculture, government, and finance. 🔆 MSMEs provide 80% of net job creation in low-income countries. There are many other areas in which MSMEs make significant contributions. ❗ However MSMEs in India are currently just 26% as productive as large companies and need extensive support from the government, large enterprises and industry forums. And the minister must lead some of the key initiatives effectively. #India #employment #jobopportunities #economicgrowth

#BookReview by Arun Kumar | "Agrarian Poverty in Colonial Uttar Pradesh: The Dufferin Inquiry, 1887–1888 is a commentary on a collection of reports by district officers made in the wake of the Dufferin inquiry, 1887–88. Primarily a source anthology, the edited book is a compelling read on agrarian poverty during colonial rule and the workings of the colonial admini­stration." https://lnkd.in/g6JztCrh
