  • District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles
    DISTRICT HID/AIDS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILES Developed using data triangulation Assam Factsheet 2014 Assam State AIDS Control Society Khanapara, Guwahati-22 Foreword The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies. However, the district level focus of the programme demands consolidated information that helps better understand HIV/AIDS scenario in each district, to enable effective targeting of prevention and treatment interventions to the vulnerable population groups and geographic areas. This technical document prepared by the SIMU division of Assam SACS is a follow up exercise of the detailed District epidemiological profiles report 2013 prepared using the information collected and analyzed during the data triangulation exercise conducted during 2011-12. The 2013 report provided useful information support to the district level health functionaries but at the same time we were informed that a concise report will be even better. So, keeping this in mind, the 2014 report is being prepared in a factsheet format which is adapted from the District Epidemiological factsheets prepared by NACO and using updated information. The reports are prepared by some of the ICTC, PPTCT, Blood bank and STI counselors who are supported by a group of Public Health experts from medical colleges and state programme officials and we are grateful to each of them for their support in this activity.

A total of 52 wild edible plants were surveyed. Plants are the nature’s gift to mankind and consumed wholly or in parts either cooked or raw. These are delicious, refreshing and chief sources of vitamins, minerals and protein. Vegetables constitute a major part of daily food intakes and play an important role in well-balanced diet and maintain healthy living. Utilization of wild plant resources in day-to-day life of Bodo tribes has been an old-age practice and recently popularity of the same has declined. Hence, prime importance should be given to them in order to maintain and popularize this important source of non-conventional food supply. In this paper, the scientific names along with family, local names in Bodo, time of availability, edible parts used and method of use of the wild edible plants are presented. Key words: Wild edible vegetables, Kokrajhar district, Bodo tribe, Assam. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Plants are the nature’s gift to mankind and have been used as an important source of food and medicine from the very beginning of time.

Reeju Bargayary, M.A. Sociology, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya. Abstract A large number of people in India live below the poverty line and even in the condition of absolute poverty, which are unable to meet their basic needs. For which many small children in India are forced to engage in some kind of work and most of the time they are exploited and exposed to hazardous work conditions, many times neglecting their studies.

The study is based on the children working in petty shops of Bongaigaon town as almost all the petty shops are employing at least one child labour at their shops. The study is both descriptive and analytical. The data is collected from 40 male child labourers by purposive sampling with the help of structured interview schedule. The children are further selected by using convenient sampling. It is observed that the economic conditions of the child labour is poor and majority of them are illiterate and they themselves does not like to go to school which is similar in case of their siblings also.
