    THE IMPORTANCE OF IMMUNIZATION WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON INTENSIFIED MISSION INDRADHANUSH (A DIPR feature by Nongozo Rikha, APRO) Immunization against preventable childhood diseases is the right of every child. With a view to providing this right, the Government of India launched the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) in 1985, one of the largest health programmes of its kind in the world, to cater to a birth cohort of 2.6 crore infants and around 3 crore pregnant women every year. The programme provides vaccination against 8 life-threatening diseases such as Diphtheria, Whooping cough, Haemophilus Influenza Type B (Hib), Tetanus, Polio, Tuberculosis, Measles and Hepatitis B in the entire country. In addition, vaccination against Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is being provided in the selected endemic districts/states of the country. India's UIP has contributed significantly to ensure equity to children accessing the public health system. However, inequity still remain a challenge. The steady fall of infant mortality from 80 per 1000 live births in 1991 to 37 per 1000 live births in 2015 (SRs) showed India's efforts under UIP to reduce child mortality and morbidity. In spite of all positive changes, UIP has always been a challenge. Despite being operational for over 30 years, UIP has been able to fully immunize only 65% children. Evidence shows that unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children are most susceptible to childhood diseases and disability and run a three to six times higher risks of death as compared to fully immunized children. Committed to improving immunization coverage and addressing the equity agenda, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India has implemented various intensification strategies including its flagship programme “Mission Indradhanush” launched in December 2014.

The Vision is a destination in the future and the ability to translate the Vision through Mission, is what matters. With Vision you can plan but with Mission you can implement. You need conviction to translate the steps needed to achieve the Vision. Almost every state or country has a Vision to propel the economy forward. We have seen and felt what it is like to have a big Vision and many in the developing world have been inspired to develop a Vision for their countries and have planned the way forward for their countries to progress. We have to be a vibrant tourist destination with good accommodation and other proper facilities to showcase our beautiful land and cultural richness. We need reformation in our education system, power and energy, roads and communications, etc. Our five Universities have to have dialogue with Trade & Commerce and introduce academic courses to create wealth out of Natural Resources with empowered skill education.

  • A Study of a Konyak Naga Village in Sivasagar District of Assam, India
    International Research Journal of Social Sciences______________________________________ ISSN 2319–3565 Vol. 4(11), 24-29, November (2015) Int. Res. J. Social Sci. A Study of A Konyak Naga Village in Sivasagar District of Assam, India Partha Protim Dutta1 and Ujjal Protim Dutta2 1Tezpur University, Assam, INDIA 2 Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in Received 23rd October 2015, revised 31st October 2015, accepted 10th November 2015 Abstract Assam is a cradle of different ethnic groups. Along with the indigenous tribes and communities of Assam, a good count of migrated communities is contributing to the grandeur of greater Assamese ethnicity since time immemorial. Besides, the Assam valley being surrounded by hills, sections of many tribal groups from the hills made foothill regions and beyond their habitats from ancient times. Some of these groups were also settled by the kingdoms of the valley. One example of such settlement is that of a small group of Konyak Naga community in Sivasagar district of Assam. Even if historical evidences are not enough to confirm the accurate root or causes of their migration to Assam, their existence and endeavour to assimilate with the Assamese community is a confirmed phenomenon. They have been living in this soil and have become an inalienable part of Assam with the time. This study tries to understand the historical background of the village formation and explore the assimilation process of the village with the larger Assamese society. Keywords: Konyak Naga, Tribes, community, Assimilation. Introduction village. This is true of unique linguistic dialectal, racial and religious diversities.
