4.  Feedback loop model - states that human development outcomes feed back as inputs into the development process.  These feedback loops operate both at the micro (individual) as well as macro (societal) levels.  Interventions to promote human capital formation (through investments in health and education) are key requirements for economic growth to be more successful in reducing income poverty. 4

6.  Education makes an individual more aware of healthy & hygienic practices.  Education therefore can serve as an input towards better health and nutritional status which feeds back into better learning ability.  Similarly, educated parents understand importance of family planning & reduced family size which in turn feeds back into better health (both for the mother and the child) & education for all children in the family. 6

7.  Economic growth, human capital formation, & income poverty reduction are synergistically related such that, the impact of intervention in any one is enhanced by investments in any other (Synergy 2)  improved human capital formation, for both men and women, ensures an educated workforce that can engage in eco activities & earn better livelihoods 7

9. India’s rank in the world in Human Development Index falls in 2011? HDI value 2011 HDI rank 2011 Gross national income per capita rank High Human Development Russia0.7556653 Brazil0.7188477 Medium Human Development Sri Lanka0.69197109 China0.68810194 South Africa0.61912379 India0.547134124 Low Human Development Pakistan0.504145138 Bangladesh0.500146157 No. of countries 187 UNDP HDR 2011: India’s rank fell from 119 in 2010 to 134 in 2011. Fall only because 18 new (tiny) countries like Antigua, Saint Tome etc. have been added this time. 9

10. India HDR 2011: 21% increase in HDI between 2000 and 2008: Education Index pulled up HDI, but Health Index constrains Income index based on consumption; but consumption on average is lower than income. Increase in HDI is over 30%, when Income Index is computed from per capita Net Domestic Product 10

11. 2. Gap narrowing in HDI across states –– poorer states growing faster, their health/educ indicators improving faster – inter-state disparity falling 11

12. 3. HD indicators for SCs, STs, OBCs & Muslims : gap narrowing with national average (though with some imp exceptions)– move towards social inclusion 12 Indicators Convergence Divergence Per capita consumption expend.SCsSTs, Muslims Unemployment rateSCs, MuslimsSTs Child labour rateSCs, STs, Muslims Female malnutrition (Body Mass Index <18.5) SCs,STs,OBCs, Muslims Infant Mortality Rate SCs, STs, OBCs, Muslims Under five mortality rateSCs, STs, Muslims Total fertility rateSC, MuslimsOBCs Child immunizationSTs, MuslimsSCs Toilet facility OBCsSCs, STs LiteracySCs, STs, Muslims Electricity for domestic useSCs, STs, OBCs

The Difference increased to 1 in 1998-99. Muslim Fertility rate on average higher than national average by 0.4 in 2005-6, and CONVERGING Muslim Literacy rates in rural (6 % points) & urban areas (10 % points) below the national avg in 2001 Muslim Literacy rate CONVERGES with national avg in 2007-8, i.e., gap narrows : rural (3.5 % points) & urban (8.5% points) 1.Gaps narrowing b/w Muslim & national average i.e. improving conditions of Muslims. 2. Muslims are consistently better than SCs & STs for all HD indicators 3. Muslims absolute level still lower compared to national avg (except IMR, U5MR)

22. Consistent rise after 2004-5 in monthly per capita consumption expenditure (Rs) 22 Note: Figures in brackets indicate Compound Annual Growth Rate

23. Despite achievements, problem areas remain:  Employment not growing in industry or services  Nutritional outcomes not improving or no data  Health outcomes improving too slowly  Sanitation is the worst in the world  Education levels extremely low for a emerging market economy  SC, ST, Muslims have absolute levels of indicators that are still the worst  These problems concentrated in northern & eastern states where these communities are concentrated 23

24. Employment: Declining Unemployment but…  Unemployment (current daily status) declined from 8.2% in 2004-5 to 6.6% in 2009-10  But only 2.8 mn new jobs – not growing in manfg and services, falling in agriculture:  Absolute decline in agri emp by 14 mn during 2005-2010  But for the decade, still increase of 7 mn  Structural transformation towards productive employment?? 24

25.  Manufacturing employment increased only by 6.7 million in the last decade (from 44 million in 1999-2000 to 50 million in 2009-10)  Absolute decline in mfg employment by 5 mn in the 2nd half of the decade  Approach Paper 12 th Plan & National Manufacturing Policy targeting 100 million by 2022?  27 mn new jobs in non-mfg industry (due to 26 mn in construction) during the last decade (from 21 million in 1999-2000 to 48 million in 2009-10) 25

26.  Rise in service employment from 94mn in 1999- 2000 to 112 million in 2004-5, but only to 116 million in 2009-10 (3.5 million increase)  Most of the increase been due to services like transport, banking & insurance, computer & related activities, business management & consultancy services 26

27. Despite Increase in share of organised sector employment (14-18%): Rising informalization Share of informal employment in organized sector has risen from around 1/3 in 1999-2000 to just under 2/3 in 2009-10.

33. Policies to Address Nutritional Problems 1. Near universalization of ICDS Programme But focus should shift to children below three years, pregnant women, and adolescent girls - ICDS 35 years old – but without this focus still Withdrawal of hot-cooked meals in UP, Karn, Guj – in violation of Supreme Court 33 Reform PDS – but progress remains slow on National Food Security Bill No “Ministry of Nutrition” – so PM’s Nutrition Council in need of revival

36. Replacement level of Total Fertility Rate reached  9 major states achieved the replacement level of TFR (2.1) - states with functional PHCs  Unless public health system improves, the population growth rate can not be reduced Source:RGI 2011 36 StatesTFR 1995-7TFR 2008 Kerala1.81.7 Tamil Nadu2.11.7 Andhra Pradesh2.81.8 Punjab2.81.9 West Bengal2.71.9 Himachal Pradesh2.51.9 Delhi2 Karnataka2.62 Maharashtra2.82 Jammu & Kashmir2.2 Orissa3.12.4 Gujarat3.12.5 Haryana3.52.5 Assam3.32.6 All India*3.42.6 Chhattisgarh3.1 Jharkhand3.2 Madhya Pradesh4.13.3 Rajasthan4.23.3 Uttar Pradesh2.73.8 Bihar4.53.9

37. Total fertility rate  India could achieve replacement rate TFR 2.1 by 2015 – but “unmet need” for contraception over 30% in 4 States – NRHM must focus attention  Migration out of UP, Bihar, MP, Raj will rise 37

38. Total Fertility Rate: Narrowing gaps in case of SCs & Muslims  Maximum fall in fertility rate experienced by Muslims along with a sharp increase in Contraceptive Prevalence Rate 38 Source: NFHS 2 & 3

39. Rise in institutional deliveries leads to lower Maternal Mortality Rate  Rise in institutional deliveries (from 39% to 78%, 2005-9) post NRHM & JSY resulted in decline of MMR – fall of 89 points in 6 years  But to achieve 11 th Plan target of MMR of 100 by 2012, a further reduction of 28 per 100,000 per year is needed  Highest MMR in poorer states with lowest levels of institutional delivery – need more rural doctors/para medics needed in 8 EAG NRHM states 39 Source: RGI 2011

40. Highest MMR in poorer states with lowest levels of institutional delivery – need for ASHA, ANM, AWW to focus on these states within NRHM Source: NFHS 3 (2006) & RGI 2011 (MMR-2008) 40

41. Replicate best practice in high focus States of other States to attract health providers to rural areas Rural recruitment  TN: introduced reservation policy in higher educ. Consequently, cadre of doctors from small towns willing to work in PHCs in villages at commuting distance  Because 15% of seats for medicine courses reserved for rural schools. Increases retention of medical officers (with rural background) in rural areas since there will be no resistance.  Also doctors recruited on zonal basis  Chhattisgarh: 3 yr degree in Rural Health Care in – called Rural Medical Assistant to eliminate vacancies for medical officers; Miny of Health support for each State to replicate 41

42. & enable drug procurement  Essential drugs at affordable prices in public health system  To strengthen logistics management sys of healthcare, TN Medical Services Corporation established in Jan’95.  Apex body for purchase and distribution of generic essential drugs for govt medical centres 42

43. Open defaecation in India – worst in world  Nutritional/health outcomes cannot improve if OD continues  58% of all persons in the world defecating in open, live in India  Improvement in households with access to sanitation facilities from 40 % in 2002 to 51 % in 2008-9 43 Source: NSS 2002, 2008-9

44. Poor sanitation concern for rural areas, but consequences equally serious in urban  Toilet availability in urban India, but density of population in India 10 times greater than Africa, hence in urban areas open defaecation spreads infection faster 44 Source: NSS 2002, 2008-9

45. But toilets built under Total Sanitation Campaign put to other uses – TSC redesign needed  In villages winning Nirmal Gram Puraskar (“Open Defaecation Free”), toilets often used for storing, bathing & washing purposes  Design problem with TSC: Rather than subsidy for construction of toilets, need for creating effective demand for sanitation through community participation – e.g. HP & Haryana  A complete redesign of MORD’s Total Sanitation Campaign is needeed 45

46. Lessons from Himachal Pradesh  HP  Adopted a participatory innovative approach called Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) for creating effective & sustainable demand for sanitation under TSC  It engages people in analysis of their existing sanitation situation through triggering exercises leading to collective local action to clean up & sanitize surroundings to put end to OD & adopting safe solid & liquid waste mgt practices  CLTS training involved triggering initially (2006) some 200 villages with arnd 50 natural leaders from grass root levels 46

47. Lessons from Haryana  Haryana  Again CLTS approach followed by empowering local communities to end OD & build toilets without any external subsidies.  District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) works on capacity building & identifies village motivators assigned 300 hhs to encourage proper sanitation & hygienic practices.  Targeted women to inform about TSC & families about low cost options for building toilets. 47

50. Fulfillment of provisions of RTE Act, 2009 remains major challenge – Implementation of RTE in Bihar & UP require 50% of total finances (additional from 1.5 lac cr) needed for the country Indicator Norm as per RTE Act, 2009 Reality (2007-8) Pupil – Teacher ratio (at primary level) 3047 (U.P – 76, Bihar – 68) Number of classroom One classroom for one class in all schools 9% of schools were one classroom schools Girls’ Toilet School building should have separate toilet facilities for boys and girls Half of the schools did not have separate toilets for girls Drinking Water School building should have safe drinking water facility 87 per cent schools have drinking water facility 50

51. Policy: “Low-hanging fruit” type actions  Pre-primary school education training for AWWs neglected ; but funds allocated in 11 th Plan Rs. 2000 cr for MHRD, but not utilized  Without PSE, children unprepared for school, as they are children of functionally illiterate parents  Children also unprepared because of malnutrition  PSE can improve learning outcomes for children in earliest yrs  High teacher absenteeism (25%) – one of worst in developing world – SSA fund release shd be conditional upon teacher absenteeism improving  School Management Committee should be responsible for  Leave granting  Salary releasing 51

52. Addressing poor learning outcomes of children needs better Subject Content Knowledge of Teachers Well trained teachers do not go to rural areas – DIETs, BRCs, CRCs in poor shape Poor learning ability: 47% in grade V students could not read grade II text (ASER 2010) Expand Online teacher training system Block HQ already have 256 kbps optical fibre – start using this network today Village level whole country coverage coming: 3G coming with optical fibre network, OR within 2 yrs National Optical Fibre Network operational Use of Technology lectures broadcast in multiple languages in classrooms local teachers interact with expert teachers and play local coordinator role Adult Literacy – Total Literacy Campaign 52

53. Towards Adult Literacy – Technology-based solution for 26% Illiterates of India  Poor & illiterate people need to learn 500 words for daily functional needs  Writing often discourages adult learners, and so focus on functional literacy:  reading through graphic recognition of 500 words  sound pattern  inferential feeling & sensation  Programme launched in year 2000 and has 250 active centres  1,20,000 people became literate through this programme – universalization needed 53
