BUREAUJALANDHAR, DEC 20

In view of 2022 Assembly elec-tion, all political parties havestarted activities. ShiromaniAkali Dal has declared BachittarSingh Kohar, grandson of lateMinister Ajit Singh Kohar, as itscandidate from Shahkot con-stituency.

The ticket of incumbent MLAHardev Singh Laddi Sherowaliais being considered by the Con-gress party for sure. As far as theAam Aadmi Party is concerned,they have appointed RattanSingh Kakar Kalan as con-stituency in-charge. Looking atthe vote bank of the constituen-cy, the number of Jatt and Kam-boj voters is almost equal and theShiromani Akali Dal and Con-gress candidates are Jatt Sikhs.AAP's constituency in-charge isconsidered weaker than the can-didates of both the parties. If theAam Aadmi Party nominates

halqa in-charge as its candidate,then instead of a triangular con-test for the Shahkot seat, therewill be a direct confrontation be-tween the Congress and theAkali Dal candidate. The AamAadmi Party's candidate in the2017 Assembly elections be-longed to the Kamboj communi-ty. At the time, the AAP candi-date had garnered more than41,000 votes against the candi-dates of both the traditional par-ties and the party had lost theelection by a narrow margin. Inthe by-elections held in 2018,AAP fielded Rattan Singh KakarKalan as its candidate and in thiselection the party got only 1900votes. After appointing KakarKalan as constituency in-charge,

party's base has weakned andmany people joined other par-ties. The Aam Aadmi Party haveleaders like Tejinder Singh Ram-pur, a Kamboj sikh, who havebeen in politics for a long timeand have a good base in all com-munities, is also making a claimfor ticket. If the party nominateshim, he can win by giving atough fight to the candidates oftraditional parties. There is alsotalk of a former minister fromthe constituency joining the Pun-jab Lok Congress led by Capt.Amarinder Singh which coulddo great harm to both the AkaliDal and the Congress. Thewhole situation will becomeclear after the announcement ofthe remaining candidates.

tion of government health fa-cilities.

Considering the populationof Zirakpur city, the health fa-cilities at Dhakoli Hospital, theonly government hospital inZirakpur, are inadequate andthe ambulance without a driv-er in the hospital is proof thatthe administration is not com-

mitted to providing betterhealth facilities to thepeople of Zirakpur.Somehow incapable. Ifthere is a serious patient,the patient's family mem-bers have to face a lot ofdifficulties in transport-ing him and the patient's

condition may worsen. It is tobe mentioned that the doctorsof Dhakauli Hospital have togo in their own vehicle for thesmall tasks of the hospital, forwhich the ambulance is used. Itmay be recalled that some timeback former Health MinisterBalbir Singh Sidhu had visitedDhakoli Hospital and claimed

that the hospital would be up-graded and better health facili-ties would be provided to thepeople in this hospital. He saidthat the health facilities atDhakoli Hospital would be im-proved so that people wouldnot have to go anywhere elsefor treatment.

But all these claims have be-come baseless and fabricatedas the reality of Dhakoli Hos-pital says something else.When contacted about the mat-ter, Mohali CMO AdarshpalKaur said, It has been writtento provide driver but to date nodriver has been sent by thegovernment.

Haryana ranked fast growing stateHaryana has been ranked as the fastest-

growing state in the NITI Aayog's Sus-tainable Development Goal Index 2020-

2021 but the situation is grim in Haryana in thearea of health and nutrition. The fact sheetof NFSH(National Family Health Sur-vey)-5(Haryana) provides information onkey indicators and trends for Haryana.This survey is the most comprehensivesurvey to date on the health and nutritionindicators of India’s men, women, andchildren. In Haryana information wasgathered by a sample of 18,229 house-holds, 21,909 women, and 3,224 men.

According to NFSH-5, the sex ratiohas improved in Haryana from 876 (2015-16) to 926 in. The fertility rate has declined from2.1 to 1.9 in NFHS-5 which is better than the na-tional average. Infant and child mortality ratehas improved. About 80% of women and 91% ofmen are literate (refers to women/men whocompleted standard 9 or higher and who canread a whole sentence or part of a sentence.).Inthe case of women empowerment, 87% of fe-

males usually participate in household decisionsand 39% of women are owning a house or landin their name, and 73% of women are having abank account that they themselves use. About

50% of women are having theirmobile phones and 18% ofwomen have ever experiencedspousal violence.

Although in the above indi-cators Haryana is ahead of thenational average, there is also ablack side of the picture. About70% of children up to age 6 areanemic in Haryana which isgreater than the national aver-age which is 67.1% . Infant

mortality rate(35.2) has improved if we compareit with NFHS-4 but the prevalence of anemia ischronic in Haryana and it is among the top 5states in India as for as extent of anemia is con-cerned. The more alarming thing about the na-tional average is the 8 percentage points rise inthe fraction of children suffering from anemiafrom 59% in NFHS-4 to 67% in NFHS-5. About

27.5% of children are stunted and 21.5% are un-derweight in Haryana in the age group of 0-5years. According to a report the anemia is foundmore chronic in women in comparison to men.In India, About 59% of females are anemic inthe age group of 15-19 and 57% in the age group15-49, whereas in Haryana 62% of women areanemic in the age group of 15-19 and 60.4% areanemic in the age group of 15-49.

While the results of the NFHS are usuallymixed, and improvements in certain sectors ridealong with stagnation and deterioration in othersectors, this year, there have been radical im-provements in maternal and child health, sex ra-tio, and population control.

A greater proportion of births than ever be-fore is now happening in institutions, more chil-dren in the 12-23 months age group have re-ceived their vaccinations, and, most interesting-ly. The Fertility rate in India as well as inHaryana is decreasing. In Haryana it is 1.9which is below the national average (2.0), indi-cating that India has contained the populationexplosion. Policies, as in the case of the family

planning sector, seem to have borne fruit, yearsafter they were implemented. While gender ra-tio has, for the first time, recorded more womenper 1,000 men, the gender ratio at birth in thelast five years still underlines the persistence ofa deep-rooted son preference especially in themiddle class of Haryana, one that has to becountered, through policy and law.

The initiative of the central govt. increasingthe marriage age from 18 to 21 years will defi-nitely improve the health and nutrition levels inthe near term by putting more girls in collegeand enabling women to achieve greater financialindependence in the long run in India includingHaryana and other states.

Still, malnutrition and anemia is the biggestchallenge before the economy in achieving theSustainable Development Goal of ending allforms of malnutrition among children under 5.Poor public health is always the most importanthurdle in development The major reason behindmalnutrition and anemia is poverty among thelower class and the unhealthy lifestyle of themiddle class. The mortality rate and longevity of

life have improved because of health facilitiesbut still, there is a need for a targeted distribu-tion system of healthy food for poor people inthe state. Mid-day meal scheme should includenutritious food. A health slogan of ‘food shouldbe medicine and medicine should be food‘should be started in near future.

Although only 8% of people are below thepoverty line in Haryana according to NITIAayog’s multidimensional poverty measures butthe poverty among this small section is severe.NFHS-5 is nationally and sub-nationally at thestate and district levels representative, so itsfindings on children’s nutritional status can helppolicymakers identify critical areas where betterpolicy can provide course correction. Since In-dia has the most malnourished children in theworld, it’s worth analyzing what NFHS-5 has tosay about India’s progress towards achievingUN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2.2.

EDITORIAL

Use two wheelsinstead of fourIn October, as the countdown to schools reopening

commenced, a local news channel in Kerala did anengaging story. School buses were not in the pink

of health. Many had suffered neglect during the near-ly two years when schools had stayed shut due toCovid-19. It would cost a small fortune to restore thebuses to operational efficiency. Students may have toseek other means of transport, the news report indi-cated. A week later in Thrissur, three people werechatting about cycling, when one person, a keen cy-clist, suggested petitioning the authorities to ensurecycling lanes for students. While the idea was topical(given the emergent problem with school buses) andutterly relevant (physical exercise is good for mindand body), Thrissur seemed hardly safe for cycling. Avisible rise in the number of private vehicles has gift-ed Kerala a traffic that is heavy and often inconsider-ate to those not on motorized wheels.

As elsewhere in India, in Kerala too, the automo-bile industry’s triumph has been the creation of a self-perpetuating pattern of safety wherein the safestmethod to be out is on a set of motorized wheels witha steel cage on top.

There are other reasons fuelling private-vehicleownership in Kerala. Although the state has a goodpublic transport system, the local paradigm of successis quite partial to asset ownership and requires a car, amotorcycle or a small collection of the same as badgeof having arrived. In Kerala’s remittance economy, itbecame infra dig to own a cycle past school. By col-lege, it had to be a motorcycle or scooter and, aftermarriage, there had to be a car. The sum total of every-one’s investment in motorized wheels has been irri-tating traffic and generally unsafe roads.

Kerala’s predicament is slightly different fromthat of a metro like Delhi where, following severesmog by mid-November, the government was con-templating restrictions on life and encouragement ofwork from home to keep vehicles off the road. Keraladoes not yet leave you choking for breath; what getsto you is the sight of numerous vehicles jammed intoa state that is by nature narrow and hilly.

Kerala reminds us of a larger version of Banga-lore in the making. The composition of traffic and thecongestion are similar. What is different is that Ban-galore is a congested island in Karnataka, which is abig state.

Strong MercyMy desires are many and my cry ispitiful, but ever didst thou save meby hard refusals;and this strongmercy has beenwrought into mylife through andthrough. Day byday thou art makingme worthy of the simple,great gifts that thou gavest to meunasked---this sky and the light,this body and the life and themind---saving me from perils ofovermuch desire. There are timeswhen I languidly linger and timeswhen I awaken and hurry in searchof my goal; but cruelly thou hidestthyself from before me.

Greenland's nutrients changingwith global impact

Scientists at Bigelow Laboratory forOcean Sciences have discovered theavailability of carbon in Greenland's

waters is shifting poleward and appearingearlier than in previous decades.

The research was published in the jour-nal Progress in Oceanography by lead au-thor Maria Vernet from the Scripps Institu-tion of Oceanography at the University ofCalifornia, San Diego.

This finding will enhance understand-ing of carbon cycling and nutrient avail-ability in this rapidly warming and chang-ing environment.

Phytoplankton are arguably the mostimportant organisms in the ocean. Directlyor indirectly, almost all life in our globalwaters depends on their activity. In a newstudy, a team of researchers have mappedhow the activity of these microscopicplants affects critical waters around Green-land, which impact important regional fish-eries and even nutrient availability aroundthe globe.

The researchers found that the season-al availability of carbon produced by phy-toplankton is shifting poleward and appearsfor longer than in previous decades. Thediscovery will enhance scientists' under-standing of carbon cycling and nutrientavailability in this rapidly warming andchanging environment.

During photosynthesis, all plants con-vert carbon dioxide into food by harnessingenergy from the sun. The food they create,in the form of organic carbon, is critical tolife. This process is called primary produc-tion and plays a major role in the globalcarbon cycle. In the ocean, almost all pri-mary production is performed by phyto-plankton.

"Everything depends on the carbonproduced by phytoplankton, no matterwhere you are in ocean waters," saidBigelow Laboratory Senior Research Sci-entist Paty Matrai, one of the paper's co-au-thors. "If there is no primary production,then there is no new carbon being created,

and the many animals that depend on ithave nothing to feed on."

Arctic phytoplankton growth patternshave already been significantly altered dueto climate change. The fish that feed onthem have had to adapt, along with the in-dustries that rely on them. A better under-standing of these changes is needed to planahead.

The researchers looked at a 10-yeartime period from 2008 to 2017 in seven re-gions around Greenland to understandwhere and when primary production washappening. They found the rates to be high-er in southern regions where water is moreinfluenced by the North Atlantic. They alsodiscovered that phytoplankton blooms be-gan in the south around April and in thenorth around June.

"There is extreme seasonality and greatdiversity in what's happening with respectto primary production in these waters," Ma-trai said. "Greenland sits at an influentiallocation, and understanding the watersaround it may give us unique insights intoglobal ocean processes."

Greenland is at the intersection of com-plex interactions between Arctic Ocean andAtlantic Ocean currents, and the waters offits shores are part of both systems. As theplanet warms, more temperate conditions,along with the nutrients and organisms thatprefer them, are moving up from the south.

Its waters are also a mixing spot forsaltwater and melting freshwater. Over 80percent of its landmass is covered by theGreenland ice sheet. As it melts due toglobal warming, it sends an influx of cold

freshwater into the ocean from the north.This could have significant impacts on thephysical and biological processes in theNorth Atlantic including ocean convection,nutrient availability, and primary produc-tion. The waters around Greenland are no-toriously difficult to study. Rough weather,complex ocean conditions, and shifting seaice make sampling dangerous. Althoughthe fjords on its western side have been bet-ter studied, less is known about the fjordsand continental shelf to the east. The re-searchers used two independent mathemat-ical models to calculate primary productionaround the island. One was based on oceancolor, which can be used as a proxy forphytoplankton and other life, and the otheron ocean biology and physical characteris-tics.

Chitkara students to paint 75m long scrolls aspart of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav

As part of theAzadi Ka AmritMahotsav which

is an initiative of theGovernment of India tocelebrate and com-memorate 75 years ofprogressive India andthe glorious history ofits people, culture andachievements, the Min-istry of Culture in col-laboration with theMinistry of Defence isorganising a workshopfor painting scrolls,representing the heroiclives & struggles of theunsung heroes of In-dia's freedom move-ment, forming an inte-gral part of RepublicDay celebrations 2022.

The event for thescroll painting has beentitled, "Kala Kumbh -Azadi Ka Amrit Ma-

hotsav". Inspirationwill also be drawnfrom the illustrations inthe Constitution of In-dia wherein the artisticelements painted byNandlal Bose and histeam have imparted adistinctive appeal.These scrolls are pro-posed to be displayedalong Rajpath as partof the celebrations ofRepublic Day, 2022.

Ten scrolls of 75 me-ters (it will be 14-15 fthigh) each will be com-missioned which willrepresent and showcaseour rich cultural her-itage of indigenous &contemporary visualart practices, focusingon diverse geographi-cal locations of India.The scrolls would re-flect inherent artistic

visuals pertaining tothe grand celebrationsof Azadi ka Amrit Ma-hotsav and would alsoreflect our Nationalpride.

The strategic locationof these scrolls alongRajpath would serve asan open gallery for allthe citizens and it is in-tended to inspire peo-ple about the rich na-tional heritage andlegacy of Bharat in itstrue sense. Another as-pect that is proposed tobe achieved from theopen air display ofthese painted scrolls isan enhanced aestheticsof urban landscapewhile also analyzingthe potential of art as ameans to express Na-tional pride and excel-lence.

ISAR : Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer today launched India’s first hot rolled stainless steel chequered sheet with brand Hname Jindal Infinity at the International Railway Equipment Exhibition

2021 organized by CII. This is Jindal Stainless’ second foray in the branded category after the launch of Jindal Saathi, the co-branded stainless steel pipes and tubes products. With the launch of Infinity, the company aims to capture 20% market share over the next 3 years, amounting to an additional business

potential of ~INR 500 crores. According to industry estimates, the current size of chequered sheet market in India is 2,00,000 tons annually and is growing at an annual rate of 8%.Speaking on the launch of ‘Infinity’, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Abhyuday Jindal said “The launch of our branded stainless steel chequered sheet, Infinity, is another step towards bringing in quality consciousness for the end-customer. We are targeting annual sales of 40,000 tons of this brand in the next couple of years. Albeit chequered sheets have been in use for transport and industrial applications, stainless steel chequered sheets, given their remarkably superior

offerings, are sure to change the dynamics within this category.”The new stainless steel chequered sheet is made from high-end 409M grade stainless steel. As per studies conducted by Division of Materials, Science and Technology, CSIR, South Africa, sheets made from this grade of stainless steel are over 150 times more corrosion resistant than those made from mild steel. Its wear resistance is greater by five times, and its weight is 30% lower due to reduced material thickness. These qualities render the stainless chequered sheet a far superior and cost efficient alternative for any application.

Rise in incidence of heart attacks among younger individuals

himla, : Heart attacks have always been thought of as a problem associated with older individuals. However, recent statistics suggest that there has been an increase in the incidence of heart attacks in Syounger individuals in the age group of 25 to 30 as well. The need of the hour is to raise awareness on the

risk factors as well as the lifestyle changes one must take to prevent a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood in the heart vessels is blocked. One of the major causes of this blockage is accumulation of cholesterol. The risk factors for heart attack today include unhealthy diet and lifestyles that youngsters lead today. Speaking about this, Dr Ankur Ahuja, Senior Consultant, Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, said, “Young adults who have had a heart attack are more likely to be either obese or have comorbidities such as diabetes or blood pressure. Apart from a family history of the condition, young adults who smoke regularly or indulge in drug abuse are also prone to heart attacks. Hectic lifestyles, looming deadlines, and erratic working hours contribute to stress which can eventually precipitate a heart attack. Of late, air pollution is also emerging as a big factor leading to heart attacks in younger adults. This is because they are more exposed to it than a sedentary older adult.” Adding further, Dr Ankur Ahuja, said, “Although it is rare, young women, particularly during pregnancy, can experience what is called the spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). This can often present as a heart attack. There is thus a need to follow a preventive lifestyle from a young age and ensure that avoidable risk factors are managed.”
