  • FINAL-GHP-298-Winter-Session-Paper.Pdf
    COURSE IMPRESSIONS | The Harvard GHP 298 Winter Session Trip brought ten masters and doctoral students of public health to India to examine the country’s framework for addressing non-communicable disease in partnership with the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI). Students also learned about the broad array of community-based interventions targeting chronic conditions, primarily hypertension and diabetes, that PHFI and the UDAY Foundation have launched in recent years. After an initial briefing at PHFI’s headquarters in New Delhi, students visited program sites in Visakhapatnam (or Vizag) on the southeast coast and Sonipat to the north of the National Capital Region. Over a period of two weeks, trip participants engaged in a mix of rural and urban site visits around these areas. The following is an account of the 2017 Winter Session Trip, beginning with background information on the partner organization in India as well as the current burden of chronic disease in the country. The itinerary for the trip and the host organization programs are reviewed here, as well as suggestions for future moderations of both the Harvard course and the interventions utilized by PHFI and UDAY. Overview of PHFI The Public Health Foundation of India is a public-private initiative to improve the health of India. Launched by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in 2006, PHFI is an independent foundation that aims to improve the country’s institutional capacity for public health. This takes the form of policy development and implementation nationwide, as well as research and training for clinicians and public health professionals. PHFI’s initiative to combat the rising burden of 1 chronic disease is an innovative large-scale community-based effort not seen elsewhere in the country’s health policy.

  • The Law of the Land Contested: Bauxite Mining in Tribal, Central India in an Age of Economic Reform
    The law of the land contested: Bauxite mining in tribal, central India in an age of economic reform Patrik Oskarsson A thesis submitted to the School of International Development, University of East Anglia, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2010 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. Abstract This thesis explores the contestation over a bauxite mining project in the State of Andhra Pradesh which includes a number of factors that may be seen as producing conflicts over both the physical environment and equitable, inclusive development for very vulnerable people. A key issue at stake is an alternative use of land in the constitutionally protected Scheduled Areas for mining rather than low intensity cultivation and extraction of forest products. The strategic policy choice is either to prioritize the protection of tribals from absolute poverty or to promote economic growth through mining, reflecting alternative visions of development and justice. In the background to the current conflict is the Supreme Court ‘Samatha Judgement’ of 1997, at the time hailed as re-affirming the right to land for Scheduled Tribes in central India. But this judgement has been restricted on appeal to only the State of Andhra Pradesh. And not only has its jurisdiction been limited, since 2005 new attempts are being made to open up this land for large scale mining in joint ventures between the State government and private investors in Andhra Pradesh itself.
