Download or read book Millennium Development Goals and India Cases Assessing Performance Prospects and Challenges written by R.K. Mishra and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eight Millennium Development Goals identified in the Millennium Declaration have geared up the developing countries to translate their development vision into nationally-owned plans. India's commitment to MDGs and the on-going efforts present mixed results of accomplishments and setbacks. While there are expectations from India, South Indian states comprising Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala are identified a the states on fast track in terms of attaining the MDGs, though there are also issues that pull sown and jeopardize the achievement of targets. This book documents case studies on various MDG focus areas such as poverty, issues of health, child labour, education, women empowerment and sustainable development, with a specific reference to South Indian states apart from select studies of other Indian states. On these lines, the case studies assess the present status, point the missing link and give directions to the future. We hope that these cases will provide insights, pave way to constructive thinking and stimulate action oriented approaches in the efforts on achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
Download or read book Education and Inequality in India written by Manabi Majumdar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universalization of primary education has been high on the policy agenda in India. This book looks at the reproduction of social inequalities within the educational system in India, and how this is contested in different ways. It examines whether the concept of `education for all’ is just a mechanically conceived policy target to chasing enrolment and attendance or whether it is a larger social goal and a deeper political statement about the need for attacking entrenched social inequalities. Drawing on original data collected in the two states of Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, the authors present the multiple ways in which social class impinges on the educational system, educational processes and educational outcomes. The book goes on to explore issues around autonomy and accountability via an analysis of the position of teachers within the educational hierarchy, and by looking at the various possibilities of making teachers accountable. Recommendations related to the necessity for a larger debate and normative framework are made, including whether private schools should play a role, and whether it is necessary to move from government action and responsibilities to a broader concept of public action. The book presents in interesting contribution for students and scholars of South Asian studies, as well as Education and Public Policy studies.
Download or read book Decision Sciences and Technology for Globalisation ISDSI 2008 written by B.S. Sahaye and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not uncommon to find books and other publications in the literature dealing individually with the subjects of 'decision sciences', 'technology' and ' globalisation' However, there are very few instances of books which integrate these three dimensions in an umbrella framework. This publication is one such attempt. This book comprises of 58 papers contributed by leading academia from universities and management institutes in India and abroad. Many of the contributions have come from USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Bahrain, Taiwan, Brazil and Mexico, adding to the rich diversity of the thought processes explored in the papers. Some of these papers are country-specific, while some others provide a transnational perspective. Also, while some papers provide enriched conceptual frameworks in specific disciplines, building upon existing frameworks, several other papers provide application-oriented coverage, focused at select organizations or industries, further adding unique value to this book. There are eight sections in the book, namely: Supply Chain Management Operations Management Information Systems & ICT IT & E-Business Strategies Business Modeling Global Business: Issues & Challenges Marketing and Globalisation New Paradigms in Education and Globalisation The issues touched upon by various papers within each section are diverse and yet highly relevant and contemporary. We believe this book would be useful not only to academia, research scholars and students of various disciplines of management, but also to those in the industry in India and abroad, who are seeking conceptual inputs and experience sharing in their respective positions.

Download or read book Health Equity Social Justice and Human Rights written by Ann Taket and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Important links between health and human rights are increasingly recognised and human rights can be viewed as one of the social determinants of health. Furthermore, a human rights framework provides an excellent foundation for advocacy on health inequalities, a value-based alternative to views of health as a commodity, and the opportunity to move away from public health action being based on charity. This text demystifies systems set up for the protection and promotion of human rights globally, regionally and nationally. It explores the use and usefulness of rights-based approaches as an important part of the tool-box available to health and welfare professionals and community members working in a variety of settings to improve health and reduce health inequities. Global in its scope, Health Equity, Social Justice and Human Rights presents examples from all regions of the world to illustrate the successful use of human rights approaches in fields such as HIV/AIDS, improving accessibility to essential drugs, reproductive health, women’s health, and improving the health of marginalised and disadvantaged groups. Understanding human rights and their interrelationships with health and health equity is essential for public health and health promotion practitioners, as well as being important for a wide range of other health and social welfare professionals. This text is valuable reading for students, practitioners and researchers concerned with combating health inequalities and promoting social justice.

Discrimination, violence, marginalization, and health-related issues prevail, making proper education at the middle school level crucial during this unique development time.

It looks at many complex issues affecting education for adolescent girls around the world, including the underlying global demands for women in the formal workforce and the universal impact of gender-based violence, and provides a critical framework through which researchers may explore and critique these complexities.
Download or read book The future of DFID s programme in India written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: International Development Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The test of whether the UK should continue to give aid to India is whether that aid makes a distinctive contribution to poverty reduction. The Government of India has primary responsibility for this and has already reduced poverty levels from 60 percent in 1981 to 42 percent in 2005. But whilst the economy is growing there are large pockets of poverty that still remain. The DFID plans to change some of its programme, focusing primarily on three of the poorest states, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, also changing the sectors it prioritises and putting 50 percent of its budget through the private sector by 2015.The Committee supports the focus on the poorest states but provided it is supported by the Government of India. They recommend supporting in particular sanitation, malnutrition, maternal and child health and social exclusion. The Committee supports the Government's aim to forge a new enhanced partnership with India with its mutual benefits from cooperation in trade and investment but the DFID must ensure UK Government policies help protect the poorest and reduce inequalities. The Committee assuming that over the next four years as India continues to grow at current rates it will have increased its capacity to tackle poverty and meet the millennium development goals. DFID should continue to provide technical assistance where requested but the funding mechanism should change by 2015.
