    Community Care of the Physically Disabled Due to Leprosy

    Original Article Community care of the physically disabled due to leprosy R. Ganapati Director Emeritus, ABSTRACT Bombay Leprosy Project, 6/27, Amar Bhuvan, This preliminary presentation based on extensive field studies carried out by Bombay Leprosy Project, a Sion (E), Mumbai, research-oriented NGO, portrays the alarming dimensions of the disease burden felt by rural communities and Maharashtra, India recommends a cost effective field model. This study in an adopted rural population in Shahapur “taluka” of Thane District assumes tremendous significance and is worthy of replication in comparable situations. This is particularly so in the background of the absence in the literature of any similar field studies based entirely on community care of the physically disabled due to leprosy. The magnitude of the problem posed by leprosy patients with disabilities and their rehabilitation is highly challenging and is expected to pose a heavy burden on the community as well as unprecedented strain on the PHCs managed by the government. The health planners should rethink on future strategies in such a manner that human rights of the downtrodden patients suffering from the “neglected disease” of leprosy are not sidelined Key words: Community, door step services, leprosy disabilities INTRODUCTION emphasis to disability care in the “post-elimination era.” The publication of operational guidelines on Leprosy “elimination” based on mass “Disability prevention and Medical Rehabilitation” chemotherapy is believed to be one of the most is an evidence of this.

    Letter to the Editor

    Lepr Rev (2008) 79, 340–341 Letter to the Editor CAN PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRES OFFER CARE TO THE LEPROSY- DISABLED AFTER INTEGRATION WITH GENERAL HEALTH SERVICES? –A STUDY IN RURAL INDIA We have earlier reported on the disease burden caused by leprosy disabilities in Shahapur, a ‘taluka’ (sub-unit of a district) situated about 100 km from the metropolis of Bombay.1,2 In the population of 2,78,524, a total of 286 patients with disabilities were identified by engaging rural volunteers working under trained supervisory staff. This was the outcome of a campaign in 2003. The area of Shahapur taluka was wide. We could not cover the entire population, some villages being located in inaccessible hilly terrains. As the Primary Health Centre (PHC) is expected to play in future a crucial role in the management of leprosy in an integrated set up, we started an investigation focusing only on the population covered by four PHCs (out of nine) in Shahapur. We intensified the identification of disabilities. The main object was to detect obviously visible deformities (grade 2) due to leprosy after simple training of the volunteers. However a few grade 1 disabilities were also identified and confirmed. Observations In the population of 1,49,029 covered by four PHCs, 407 (grade 2: 344, grade 1: 63) patients as seen in the following table were unearthed representing a prevalence rate (PR) of disabilities alone to the tune of 27·3 per 10 000. Out of these there were 266 patients with deformity newly detected. These were not found in the list of deformed patients provided by the government.

  • The Kisan Sabha and Adivasi Struggles in Thane District After 1947 Saqib Khan*

    The Kisan Sabha and Adivasi Struggles in Thane District After 1947 Saqib Khan*

    RESEARCH ARTICLE The Kisan Sabha and Adivasi Struggles in Thane District after 1947 Saqib Khan* Abstract: This article traces the history of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) in Thane district, Maharashtra, after 1947, that is, after the Warli Adivasi revolt of 1947. It is based on oral narratives by AIKS activists and leaders and on secondary sources. After the Warli revolt, the AIKS in Thane district mobilised the people around issues of land, forests, water, wages, and other livelihood issues. The article documents and analyses the nature of this mobilisation, the demands raised by the AIKS, and the extent to which these demands achieved success. Our evidence suggests mobilisation was successful because the people posed continuous challenges to multiple forms of exploitation by means of mobilisation by the AIKS on issues of Adivasi livelihood, and as a result of the initiation of welfare programmes through participation in local-level electoral politics. Keywords: Adivasi struggles, Thane district, All India Kisan Sabha, oral history, agrarian relations in Maharashtra, Scheduled Tribes, land rights, Forest Rights Act. Introduction Historically, during the period of British colonial rule as well as after India gained Independence, the Adivasi people of India have been victims of economic and social exploitation and marginalisation. A recent contribution to the literature has characterised the principal means of exploitation of the Adivasis as being alienation from land and the denial of access to common property resources by violent, coercive displacement, and a corresponding loss of livelihoods (Karat and Rawal 2014, Shah 2004). British colonialism effected and aggravated the alienation of the Adivasi people from land and forests in a number of ways (Desai 1979, Prasad 2006–7, Chattopadhyay 2012).

    Water Scenario 2025

    National Level Conference on Water Management Scenario 2025 Problems, Issues and Challenges. WATER SCENARIO 2025 Prof. P.G. Shinde Head, Department of Geography Ex-Vice Principal, V.P.M.’s Joshi-Bedekar College, Thane. Chairman, Board of Studies of Geography, University of Mumbai. Water is needed in all aspects of life. Difficult to purify, expensive to transport and impossible to substitute, water is an indispensable element of life. Renewable fresh water is an increasingly scarce commodity and the amount of fresh water actually available to people is finite. The general objective is to make certain, that adequate supplies of water of good quality are maintained, for the entire population of this planet, while preserving the hydrologic, biological, and chemical functions of the ecosystems, adapting human activities within the capacity limits of nature and combating vectors of water related diseases. Without sufficient water, economic development becomes virtually impossible and conflict over scarce resources virtually inevitable. Regional and local water shortages have always existed because of the inequalities of the hydrological cycle, but a global view also indicates that the entire hydrologic cycle is nearing the limits of use and therefore, even the water surplus countries will very soon start experiencing water shortages. United Nation Organization has given top priority to the problem of water scarcity and sanitation. This is because: · The subsurface water table level is shrinking in all the continents of the world. · Agricultural lands are becoming saline. · Increasing pollution of surface and sub-surface waters. · Nearly 45 crores of people in 29 countries are staying in water-deficit regions.

  • Urban Water Conflict in Mumbai

    Urban Water Conflict in Mumbai

    Institutional Design and the Geography of Rural- Urban Water Conflict in Mumbai Punjabi, Bharat Post-Doctoral Fellow Institute of Municipal Finance and Governance (IMFG) Munk School of Global Affairs University of Toronto (Not to be cited without permission of the author) 1 Abstract: Water security in metropolitan cities is increasingly important in the developing world. In Mumbai, for example, rapid urban growth has dramatically increased the demand for water, which has resulted in serious consequences for the water entitlements of rural communities located near the sources of water. This presentation focuses on the regional dimensions of water delivery and looks at the role of institutions and the impact of local laws, agencies, and governance on how water is shared between rural and urban areas. Key words: Urban; rural water access; metropolitan urban governance; commons; Mumbai; India 2 Introduction In the case study literature on the commons, there are few studies that examine the institutional implications of water demand for a growing metropolitan region on its rural hinterland.1 Urban expansion and growth often leads cities to take water from distant rural watersheds that irrigate agriculture for urban use. Urban water appropriation is rapidly becoming an important policy question in developing countries. At the same time, the institutional mechanisms and regulatory frameworks that underlie access to water from rural areas are poorly understood. Through a case study on the city-region of Mumbai, India, this paper tries to develop a new understanding of an unexplored institutional dimension of inter-sectoral water politics. This paper hopes to make a contribution to the institutional and metropolitan governance literature on water in large city-regions.
