Akkaa.. energy is a complete different aspect. It does aid food production to a good extent. The bigger problem is drinking water. Malnourished children can easily contract water borne lethal diseases. Eppudo cheppanu.. World will see shortage of drinking water even before we start runnong out of oil | ||

Is it because our natural resources are less and population is much more compared to US? I think we do not even utilize our existing solar/wind energies, I guess as there is no ROI. | ||

No need to dig deeper. Resources are limited to support our population. And migration to cities adds to the already existing problems. 2-tier city development with rural empowerment is the need. India population oka 40 crores undi unte, things would have been different | ||

I agree but Could this be the problem with the type of democracy we have or democracy it self? or totally unrelated to democracy? Scientia potentia est | ||

The effects of malnutrition are clearly seen in third world countries. Soon we will catch up with them if we do not take proper steps. Lack of clean drinking water and food - sometimes I think how much we do not care about these living in developed countries. Oka dish washer use chese water tho easily oka 50 people ni save cheyoochu per day. I fear some day that in India we sill start fighting with each other for clean water and food. That day, nothing will save us. | ||

While the high-profile Adarsh land and housing scam has brought Mumbai's near-lawless urban development into focus, a silent malnutrition crisis in the city points also to a grotesque imbalance in people's access to resources and a collapse of social services. At least 16 children under six years related stories have died from malnutrition and related illnesses from April this year in just one locality of the city - Shivaji Nagar in Govandi, northeast Mumbai, said Dnyaneshwar Tarwade, assistant director at Apnalaya, a non-profit group that works in this slum, located just a half-hour drive from the glitzy Bandra-Kurla Complex. After battling a high fever and cold for several weeks, for instance, Sahil Salim, a 15-month-old boy from Shivaji Nagar, died on Friday. His death came a week after another child from the same slum, two-and-a-half-year-old Khatija Afzal, had died after a similar illness. Salim weighed just seven kg, a sign that he was "severely malnourished" according to the WHO's classification, which India uses. Khatija was nine kg, just about allowing her to make it to the next bracket of "moderately malnourished." "While the government at least tries to tackle malnutrition in tribal belts, it often forgets that urban malnutrition claims as many, if not more, lives and needs to be addressed urgently," said Neeraj Hatekar, economics professor, University of Mumbai, whose research on malnutrition in the city's slums is one of the few such studies. According to the state government's data, 3.5% of Greater Mumbai's slum children under six die every year because of poor nutrition and increased risk of infections - a figure largely accepted by academics and social workers. The city has about 7.3 lakh slum children below the age of four, according to the government National Family Health Survey, so at least 25,550 -- 3.5% of 7.3 lakh -- children die of malnutrition and related illnesses every year. (There are deaths among children between 4 and 6, but those under 4 constitute the bulk.) "A chief minister-appointed committee headed by the chief secretary will look into urban malnutrition, particularly issues involving the food and civil supplies department, which runs the public distribution system," said Varsha Gaikawad, the state's women and child development minister. http://www.hindustantimes.com/Malnutrition-in-Mumbai-16-chil d-deaths-in-1-slum/H1-Article3-637686.aspx What a shame !! India among the top 5 developing countries of the world. Ironically Mr.Ambani built the most expensive house in the world just few blocks away !! whom to blame? Scientia potentia est |
