Using geographic information system (GIS) techniques, all 21 study villages Keywords: with over 8000 houses (population of 38 105) were mapped. Clustering of different indices Cysticercosis clusters of Taenia solium infection was determined using a spatial scan statistic (SaTScan). There epilepsy was a primary spatial cluster of AE with a log likelihood ratio (LLR) of 10.8 and relative geographic information systems risk (RR) of 22.4; however, no significant clustering for NCC was detected. Five significant taeniasis spatial clusters of seropositivity for cysticercal antibodies, two clusters of seropositivity for cysticercal antigens and one for taeniasis were detected (LLR of 8.35 and RR of 36.67). Our study has demonstrated the use of GIS methods in mapping and identifying ‘hot spots’ of various indices of T. solium infection in humans. This spatial analysis has identified pockets with high transmission rates so that preventive measures could be focused on an intensive scale. © 2010 Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

  • Chengalpattu District
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.

Eswaran Ajit Singh All India Primary Teachers' Federation 41, Institutional Area, D-Block, Janakpuri, New Delhi-110058 Tel.: +91-11-28520671, 28522039, Fax: +91-11-28525271 E-mail: [email protected] 2008 There has been substantial progress in reducing poverty in the Asia Pacific region, but poverty continues to be high in Nepal, Bangladesh and India. In India nearly 29 per cent of population (over 30 crores) live below the official defined poverty line. There is poverty in the country because the productivity of the workforce is low. If the labour productivity rate is increased, many labourers can emerge out of extreme poverty. Basic education is an important ingredient to build human capabilities. It is essential for any society‟s economic growth. It is not possible to eradicate poverty without education. Realizing the importance of universal elementary education for economic growth of the country, the framers of the Indian Constitution incorporated in the Constitution that the State shall endeavour to provide within a period of ten years from the commencement of the Constitution for free and compulsory education to all children until they complete the age of fourteen years. India has made steady progress in education since independence in 1947. The growth in literacy rate since then has been impressive. The number of children enrolled and attending school has increased significantly over the years.
