2 Specific Objectives: To institutionalize essential services and strengthen structures. To enhance capacities at all levels. To create database and knowledge base for child protection services. To strengthen child protection at family and community level. To ensure appropriate inter-sectoral response at all levels. To raise public awareness. Bharat Nirman Rajiv Gandhi Seva Kendra To be developed at a cost of Rs. 25 lakhs, The Panchayat Ghars have been envisaged as the mini secretariat. It will have services of seven computer operators to update the records. Bharat Nirman Rajiv Gandhi Seva Kendra will act as the village knowledge resource centre and help in ensuring that the benefits of development reach out to the needy and the poor in rural areas. It would be a forum for the village people to interact and exchange their experiences and would provide logistic support and record keeping facility. It shall be a single window for providing the information on the MGNREGS and will also help in efficient implementation of MGNREGA at Panchayat and Block level and in providing space for greater and more transparent interaction with the local people. Funding: The source of funding for the construction of Bharat Nirman Rajiv Gandhi Sewa Kendras will come from BRGF, MGNREGA and other relevant schemes. Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission One of the eight National Missions outlined in National Action Plan on Climate Change, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) specifically focuses on solar energy and its role in minimizing future emissions. The Government has launched JNNSM in January, 2010 with a target of 20,000 MW grid solar power (based on solar thermal power generating systems and solar photovoltaic (SPV) technologies), 2000 MW of off-grid capacity by 2022 (i.e MW by 2022). The Mission will be implemented in three phases. The first phase will be of three years (upto March, 2013, target-1,100 MW grid connected+200 MW off- grid=1300 MW), the second till March 2017 and the third phase will continue till March, National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education has been set up at IIT-Bombay. VISION IAS 2
3 Pradhanmantri Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY) The Government has launched a new scheme called Pradhanmantri Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY) for the integrated development of scheduled castes dominated villages in the country. There are about 44,000 villages in which the population of scheduled castes is above 50 per cent. The new scheme PMAGY will be launched on a pilot basis in 1000 such villages. Under this Scheme, each village would be able to avail gap funding of Rs.10 lakh over and above the allocations under Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation Schemes. On successful implementation of the pilot phase, the PMAGY would be extended in coming years. Status: PMAGY was launched at Village 18 BB, Block Padampur, District Sriganganagar, Rajasthan. The pilot scheme has been taken up for implementation in five States of which four are Bihar, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu (225 villages in each state) and Assam (100 villages) Fifth state U.P. is yet to respond to the government's invitation. [note: PMAGY is speculated as a replica of U.P.'s Ambedkar Village scheme] Mid term appraisal of XI plan The Cabinet has approved the mid-term appraisal(mta) of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan ( ), which scaled down the average growth target of the economy to 8.1 per cent from 9 per cent. The MTA will now be placed before the National Development Council. The Planning Commission had projected in the MTA that the economy would expand by 8.5 per cent in the current fiscal and rise to 9 per cent in Background: The commission had set an average annual growth target of 9 per cent for the Eleventh Plan -- beginning with 8.5 per cent in the first year and closing with 10 per cent in the last year of the Plan period. Year % % % * 8.5% * 9% *projected GDP growth rate VISION IAS 3
4 National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) approved The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) for implementation of its various components during the remaining period of 11th Five year plan (i.e & ) at an estimated outlay of Rs crore on a cost sharing basis between the Centre and the States at the rate of 80:20. It also approved the inter-usability of funds from one component to another within the same group of diseases, limited to a ceiling of 10%, in order to impart operational flexibility in implementation of these programs. The programme will be implemented in 20,000 Sub-Centres and 700 Community Health Centres (CHCs) in 100 Districts across 15 States/UTs by promoting healthy lifestyle through massive health education and mass media efforts at country level, opportunistic screening of persons above the age of 30 years, establishment of Non Communicable Disease (NCD) clinics at CHC and district level, development of trained manpower and strengthening of tertiary level health facilities. To fill the gap in the health delivery system, about 32,000 health personnel would be trained at various levels to provide opportunistic and targeted screening, diagnosis and management of NCDs. With the successful implementation of the programme, it is expected to achieve behaviour change in the community to adopt healthy life styles. Background: The country is experiencing a rapid health transition with a rising burden of Non-Communicable Diseases(NCDs) which are emerging as the leading cause of death in India accounting for over 42% of all deaths with considerable loss in potentially productive years (aged years) of life. According to a WHO report (2002), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) will be the largest cause of death and disability in India by It is estimated that the overall prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, Ischemic Heart Diseases (IHD) and Stroke is 62.47, , and 1.54 respectively per 1000 population of India. There are an estimated 25 Lakh cancer cases in India. The cost implications of NCDs to society are enormous and run into thousands of crore of rupees that include direct costs to people with illness, their families and indirect costs to society, due to reduced productivity. Major risk factors for these NCDs are raised blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, and obesity which are modifiable. Hence a majority of cancers and CVDs can be prevented and treated if diagnosed at an early stage. Health promotion and prevention of chronic NCDs are yet to be adequately addressed in the country s health system. Presently, Clinical services, too, are not adequately equipped to provide the required level of care for these diseases in primary and secondary health-care settings. Therefore, the appropriate strategies have been devised to be implemented under NPCDCS to ensure that the NCDs can be prevented and managed in an effective manner. VISION IAS 4
5 National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) The Centre is in the process of finalising the National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) to provide better healthcare facilities to urban slumdwellers. Aim: The Mission, aimed to correct structural imbalances in the public health system in urban areas.

The under-five mortality among the urban poor is 72.7, significantly higher than the urban average of Several health indicators among the urban poor are worse than those in the rural areas. Components: The Mission will have four components outreach services, primary urban health centres, referral services and emergency medical services. Fund Sharing: While for the first two years the Centre and the State will share the burden in the ratio of 85:15, from the third year ( ) onwards, urban local bodies will have to share 10 per cent of the cost, as per the draft. Status: approved by the Expenditure Finance Committee. No time frame to launch. Ministry: Ministry of Health and Family Welfare National Commission on Human Resource for Health (NCHRH) NCHRH is the proposed council aimed at ensuring propriety, increasing efficiency, and providing greater synergy among health professionals and improving the quality of health infrastructure in India. Status: The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has asked the Ministries of Human Resource Development and Health and Family Welfare to identify linkages between the two proposed regulatory bodies National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER) and the National Commission on Human Resource for Health (NCHRH) being promoted by them respectively to speed up the process of setting up the two authorities.
