6 The health checklist Crisis at the Baba Raghav Das Medical College in Gorakhpur. Comptroller and Auditor General s report-> 1)-Financial administration were to be ignored, 2)-Shortage of staff at primary health centres (PHCs), community health centres (CHCs) and district hospitals, 3)-Lack of essential medicines, 4)-Broken-down equipment and un lled doctor vacancies. In the case of Uttar Pradesh, the CAG found that about 50% of the PHCs it audited did not have a doctor. Basic facilities in the form of health sub-centres, PHCs and CHCs met only half the need in Bihar, Jharkhand, Sikkim, Uttarakhand and West Bengal, putting pressure on a handful of referral institutions such as the Gorakhpur hospital.

7 Continue Indian Public Health Standards were issued in 2007 and 2012, covering facilities from health sub-centres upwards. Centre has set ambitious health goals for 2020 and is in the process of deciding the financial outlay for various targets under the National Health Mission, Including reduction of the infant mortality rate to 30 per 1,000 live births. This will require 1)-Sustained investment and monitoring, and 2)-Ensuring that the prescribed standard of access to a health facility with the requisite medical and nursing resources within a 3-km radius is achieved on priority. It is imperative for the government to recognise the limitations of a market-led mechanism, as the NITI Aayog has pointed out in its action agenda for Bringing equity in access to doctors, diagnostics and medicines for the rural population has to be a priority for the National Health Mission.

8 Continue NITI Aayog s recent proposal for the partial privatisation of district-level government hospitals has been criticised for commercialising health care. Under the proposal, private hospitals will be allowed to bid for 30-year leases Give them control over portions of government hospitals dedicated to treating non communicable diseases Critics argue that private hospitals focussed on profits will do no good to the poor A ordability is indeed the major issue preventing poor Indians from getting proper health care. Governments often have very little incentive to provide quality health care to many citizens. The focus then should be on how to make market-based health care more affordable.

10 The architecture of censorship Independence Day is an occasion to celebrate freedom from a colonial regime. Demands for a right to free speech, and for an end to political, cultural and artistic censorship, were at the heart of our freedom struggle, and which culminated in the celebrated Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution. Last week, however, two events revealed that 70 years after Independence Freedom of speech still occupies a fragile(न ज क) and tenuous(त च छ) place in the Republic, especially when it is pitted(खड ) against the authority of the State. 1)-First was the Jharkhand government s decision to ban the Sahitya Akademi awardee Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar s 2015 book, The Adivasi Will Not Dance, for portraying the Santhal community in bad light. 2)-Second was an order of a civil judge at Delhi s Karkardooma Court, restraining the sale of Priyanka Pathak Narain s new book on Baba Ramdev, titled Godman to Tycoon.

11 Continue The way forward 1)-The first problem is a problem of legal reform. The solution is obvious: to repeal Sections 95 and 96, take the power of banning books out of the hands of the government. If indeed the government wants to ban a book, it must approach a court and demonstrate, with clear and cogent evidence. 2)-The second problem, however, is a problem of legal culture, and therefore, a problem of our public culture. It can only be addressed through continuing -> affirmation of free speech as a core, foundational, and non-negotiable value of our Republic and our Constitution.
