3 Delhi Edition of The Hindu Extrajudicial killing (also known as extrajudicial execution) is the killing of a person by governmental authorities without the sanction of any judicial proceeding or legal process.

4 A looming threat 5,500/ 76,000 children tested in nine Indian cities have been diagnosed with tuberculosis, 9% of them with multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB), highlighting the silent spread of the disease. Actual prevalence of MDR-TB among children in India is not known. Limited number of children tested in this sample, under the Revised National TB Control Programme(RNTCP), is worrying study- 600 children who had tested positive for TB in four cities, about 10% showed resistance to Rifampicin, a first-line drug. Failure of the health-care system to diagnose the disease. Very often, children who test positive for TB have been in close contact with adults with the disease in the same household. World Health Organisation guidelines- RNTCP requires all household contacts, particularly children, of a newly diagnosed pulmonary TB patient to be tested and started on treatment if needed- Cutting the transmission chain.

5 Continue RNTCP guidelines on contact screening are heeded mostly in the breach(उल ल घन). In 2010, WHO had revised the dosage of certain TB drugs for children. Fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs that take into account the revised dosages for children were finally made available in late After delay, a few months ago India finally introduced FDCs in six States. The remaining States will be covered by the end of this year. Children should be guaranteed paediatric(ब ल च च त स ) FDCs. It would be unethical to deny them this lifeline.

6 Back to the classroom U.S. Police-In his view this was caused mainly by three factors: race, police training and guns. Indian police is exactly in the same situation. People are dissatisfied with the quality of service they are getting from the grass roots. They are frustrated : political interference. System therefore needs drastic restructuring- in order to make policing 1)-More professional and 2)-More acceptable to the common man. How to professionalise In India, where the popular image of the police is not flattering(प रश स प र ण). This is despite some remarkable work done by policemen- a few dynamic IPS officers. There is an overall reluctance(अचनच छ ) to experiment with measures that could transform the police from a traditional.

7 Continue A recent international conference organised by the Institute of Criminology at Cambridge University -twin problems of 1)-Maintaining public order and 2)-Combating conventional crime. Task was how to make the police shed(बह न ) their slumber(न द) and arbitrariness(मनम न रन ) in reacting to field developments and make them acquire a fresh mindset to cope with the dire needs of a society under attack. Increased manpower and use of new technology. Terrorism and cyber attacks in particular are heightening the levels of fear of the community. How well have the police responded to this serious challenge to stability?

8 Conclusion Evidence-based policing (EBP), the gathering of academics and active police leaders at Cambridge endorsed the imperative to fine-tune traditional styles. Which placed an emphasis solely on the mechanical use of police resources rather than an intelligent application of available skills. Prediction and prevention There are two areas in which EBP could deliver- These are prediction and prevention. The strategy is one of identifying hot spots of crime and spotting problematic individuals in a community. EBP goes beyond statistics and pinpoints the time and opportunities presented to a potential offender. These are the fundamentals to EBP, a discipline that is gaining credibility by the day. I strongly believe that exposing our police officers to this concept would make them more professional, something that would certainly enhance the Indian police s image, which is currently dismal.

10 When too much is too little The issue of food wastage must be fully understood, so that an effective strategy can be drawn up PM Narendra Modi brought up the issue of food wastage on his Mann Ki Baat Niti Aayog- To frame a national policy to tackle this gigantic issue- legal framework to support initiatives to reduce food loss and waste. As a nation, we need to give priority to tackling this issue so that we can handle the social, economic and environmental ill-effects of wastage of food. Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)- One third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally, which amounts to about 1.3 billion tons per year. Food is lost throughout the supply chain, from initial agricultural production to final household consumption. Substantial amount of food that is wasted in our country can feed many hungry people. India ranked 97 th among 118 countries in the Global Hunger Index for About 20 crore people go to bed hungry and 7,000 people die of hunger every day.

11 Continue According to one estimate, 21 million tonnes of wheat are wasted in India every year. Only - 10% of food is covered by cold storage facilities in India. Poor supply-chain management, results in significant wastage, both at pre- and post-harvest stages. Loss of resources in the form of inputs used during production- For example, 25% of fresh water and nearly 300 million barrels of oil used to produce food are ultimately wasted. Increasing wastage also results in land degradation by about 45%, mainly due to deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices. Energy spent over wasted food results in 3.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide production every year. Decay also leads to harmful emission of other gases in the atmosphere; for instance, decaying of rice produces methane. Food waste emissions have a major impact on climate change and result in greater carbon footprint.

12 Continue Laws to encourage donation In India, there are many civil society, private sector and community initiatives aimed at distributing food among the poor. The government is also committed to securing availability of food grains for two-thirds of the 1.3 billion population, under the National Food Security Act, While securing food for all or feeding them through such initiatives is important, addressing wastage of food in all forms. There are initiatives such as India Food Banking Network (IFBN), which is promoting the concept of collaborative consumption with support from the private sector and civil society organisations. Such initiatives, creating networks and channels of distribution between- surplus food - necessary.

13 Conclusion The government needs to do more and should play a larger facilitating role. There is an urgent need to understand the complexity of the problem and then to devise a national-level strategy to combat it so that surplus of food can be turned into an advantage instead of resulting in wastage. Hunger and food wastage are two sides of the coin. The cycle of hunger cannot be broken without channelising the wasted food to help the needy. Without stopping wastage of food, we cannot do justice to millions of hungry people, our economy and the planet.
