Healthcare, Water, Education: Factors contributing to the lack of essential services for children in India

 

Approximately 206 million children in India, nearly half of the country's child population, lack access to at least one of six essential services: housing, sanitation, clean water, nutrition, education, and health.

"The socio-economic conditions of the underprivileged are such that several members of a family often live in a single room without proper access to utilities; this makes obtaining an education a challenge for them," says aid development economist Amir Ullah Khan.

 

Despite tremendous progress in poverty reduction, roughly 206 million Indian children, nearly half of the country's child population, lack access to at least one of six key services, including education, health, nutrition, housing, clean water, and sanitation.

 

While more than half of India’s 460 million children now have access to basic services, the remaining children, particularly those in vulnerable groups, continue to face structural hurdles.

 

Children with disabilities, younger children, and those living in crisis-hit areas are disproportionately affected, and the continuation of these inequalities is related to unequal progress across regions and people.

 

While India has made progress in reducing multidimensional poverty, the country's poverty rate fell from 29.2% to 11.3% between 2013–14 and 2022–23. Investment in child welfare has plateaued globally, and the benefits of poverty reduction have not been distributed fairly.

 

Despite the existence of flagship government programs such as Poshan Abhiyaan, Samagra Shiksha, PM-KISAN, the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, the Swachh Bharat Mission, and the Jal Jeevan Mission, which have expanded access to nutrition, education, sanitation, and income support, their reach remains insufficient in the most deprived areas.

 

 The report emphasizes that while India is on track to meet its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target of halving multidimensional poverty by 2030, further acceleration of effective programs is needed to reach the "last mile."

 

Additionally, global challenges such as climate shocks, political instability, and national debt are pushing families deeper into hardship, threatening to reverse hard-earned gains.

 

The lack of sustained, equitable investment in child-focused policies, especially in health, learning, and protection, continues to hinder progress.

 

UNICEF calls for institutionalizing child-focused budgets, strengthening public-private partnerships, and ensuring children’s participation in decisions affecting their lives to address these persistent deprivations.

 

Will robots lead to a future crisis in unemployment?

Humanity cannot undervalue how quickly modern technology is changing many facets of daily life, the economy, and society. The internet has made it easier for people to communicate and plan their everyday activities. One thing people should keep in mind, though, is that artificial intelligence-controlled robots are not just science fiction anymore.

 

Robots have already replaced humans in several industries, including packaging and sorting in warehouses, coffee making, surgery, street patrol, and customer service. Scientists predict that the integration of robots into society will become commonplace and inevitable within the next ten years. Would this lead to a global unemployment crisis? That is the crucial question.

 

In the upcoming years, robots will continue to play a part in a variety of industries. Humanoid robots are employed in classrooms to instruct pupils, demonstrating the widespread usage of robotic technology in many areas, including healthcare, agriculture, the food industry, manufacturing, mining, and education. Robots are increasingly being used in the car manufacturing industry and defense activities by the military.

 

Even though a portion of the workforce will be replaced by artificial intelligence robots, experts predict that this will not result in the complete elimination of jobs but rather in a significant shift in the labor market. The global unemployment rate may not be rising significantly; rather, a large redistribution of jobs will be concealed by this macro-metric.

 

Society's inability to adapt to the rapid pace of change poses a greater threat than the robots themselves. The difficulty can be transformed into an opportunity for nations that make investments in education for the future, establish adaptable social support networks, and figure out how to properly share the advantages of automation. 

They will be able to use the human potential that has been liberated from routine to solve challenging issues, be creative, and enhance people's quality of life.

 

Humans and robots will collaborate in the future rather than fight each other. However, achieving this future calls for a level of preparation, human capital investment, and social cohesion never seen before. The only way to make the integration of robots a benefit rather than a curse is to actively manage the transition. 

THE OBSESSION TO CONTROL THE WORLD BY GLOBAL DEPOPULATION, VACCINES

 

Greed, power, and money have dominated mankind to their own injury.

Humanity's leading voices in the fields of science, healthcare, law, and journalism are speaking out. Listen to these heroes of humanity, who risk everything to inform you about what is truly happening in the world today.

 

"A network of 100 lawyers and 100 scientists has all the evidence that the pandemic is the worst crime against humanity ever committed."

 

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is a world-famous trial lawyer who has been suing large fraudulent corporations for decades, and a vast international network of lawyers has interviewed more than a hundred experts from every field of science.

 

They have conclusive evidence that the pandemic and lockdowns are the worst crimes against humanity ever committed. The PCR tests are 100% fraudulent, government officials are massively bribed or blackmailed to collaborate, and the media is used to deceive the world, and so on.

 

The life-threatening disinformation campaign has been launched - America's Frontline Doctors.

 

Doctor Simone Gold, the founder of America's Frontline Doctors, a large group of leading physicians in the United States, organized a White Coat Summit in which they explained how the news media, Big Tech, and government agencies are collaborating to misinform the world, driven by a political agenda.

 

These medical experts explained how there are several cures for COVID, how dangerous masks are to our health, why lockdowns are far more destructive than any virus can ever be, and so on. This medical summit was viewed twenty million times in a matter of hours.

 

People recognize the truth! A video of Dr. Gold explains serious concerns about the experimental vaccines that are unlawfully imposed on all of humanity, for a disease that has a 99,97% survival rate, while safe and effective cures are being hidden from humanity.

 

34 physicians and scientists from around the world warn humanity about the experimental vaccines

 

In every nation, there are organizations with thousands of medical doctors, scientists, and lawyers who are speaking out against the criminal policies of corrupt governments and news media.

 

On an international level, there are, for example, the World Doctors Alliance and COMUSAV, two organizations that connect tens of thousands of medical professionals, lawyers, and experts from every field of science.

 

There are reasons those 34 medical experts share why they oppose the experimental, untested, and gene-altering biological agents that are falsely marketed as 'vaccines.'

 

The companies that make these experimental products are shielded from all liability, and no insurance company wants to offer any kind of protection against these supposed vaccines.

 

Cures for COVID are hidden because they want to vaccinate you.

 

The world has great scientists, virologists, biophysicists, and microsurgeons, who quickly analyze the effect of every pandemic to create the right vaccines or drugs; however, governments, politicians, and pharmaceutical companies will always find a way to discourage them for their greed.

 

The discouragement of the right vaccines to cure diseases dates back a long time. It had happened to many scientists before Dr. Didier Raoult, who faced a similar problem after claiming hydroxychloroquine is the right cure for the coronavirus.

 

It has happened again; this time, to biophysicist Andreas Kalcker is an internationally leading scientist who works with over 5,000 medical doctors in almost 30 nations. He developed a 100% effective cure for COVID-19 and all its variations.

 

This treatment has lowered the daily death rate in several Latin American nations from 100 deaths a day to virtually none. It was first tried by the police and military, and because of the life-saving results, it was then given to millions, who recovered in a matter of days.

 

A clinical study has confirmed the effectiveness of this treatment, yet biophysicist Kalcker was censored on all platforms, his book was removed from Amazon, and his Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and PayPal accounts were deleted.

 

Eventually, his scientific account was taken down from ResearchGate. As a result, his safe, effective, and cheap cure for COVID was hidden from humanity. At times, I wonder why authorities engage in criminal activities while they put criminals behind bars.

 

At times, I wonder why authorities claim they want to make this world a better place, while they engage in crime and even declare war on genuine health writers and health blogs.

 

What they never think about is that today is for them; therefore, they can enjoy their power, but the world is rapidly changing; therefore, that power will one day be in the hands of the sick, tired, and psychologically scarred population for them to rise. 

I’m not a clairvoyant to predict what might happen that day; therefore, they should be very careful. The intelligent ones who have ears, let them hear.

DID AFRICA SEE THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC COMING?

The map of global infection of the coronavirus

After the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in China, Europe and the USA, the initial thoughts about Africa by the advanced countries is that the African continent will be hit very hard with a high number of cases, because Africa, is a traditional place for the rapid spread of any viruses, fragile healthcare, and difficult fight against diseases.

Africa is popular not because of its treasures of gold, diamond, cobalt, silver, etc, but a continent with diseases and poverty. But the truth which the foreign media never mention is, apart from malaria that is prevalent on the continent, some diseases, including Aids, Ebola, nodding disease, etc, aren't natural, they were man-made.

Surprisingly, it appears that the coronavirus pandemic in Europe and the USA have become the front page news today, without much attention on Africa because the continent often referred to as the white man’s grave, due to the malaria that killed the white explorers, has the least infection of the coronavirus.

It is obvious that past experiences of the continent in dealing with diseases, prepared them fully to maintain strict medical rules to fight the pandemic than Europe and America. In my opinion, Africa needs applause for doing better towards the fight of the coronavirus than Europe and America.

At the moment, Africa seems to have a relatively low number of coronavirus. In fact, the high number of coronavirus infections around the globe, especially in Europe and America, despite having the best medical facilities, reveals that Africa has suffered certain diseases not because the continent is poor.

Africa is actually emerging from protracted crises, including strange diseases reinforced on them by certain governments, just to destabilize the continent’s economy, to slow down its growth as a measure to prevent the continent from being independent, and  also as a means to take control over the continent’s resources which superpower countries depend on for their survival.

Paradoxically, Africa did not turn out to be the most affected region of the coronavirus in the world, rather the USA, Spain, Italy, and other countries and regions classified by the United Nations as developed countries are those hard hit.

At the end of March to the beginning of April, COVID-19 was recorded in 25 countries in Africa, including landlocked states, such as the Central African Republic and small states Seychelles and Equatorial Guinea.

Since the outbreak, more than 27,385 cases of infections have been confirmed, with over 1,297 deaths recorded in 45 countries, hitting hard in South Africa, some countries in West Africa, and Algeria.

As a matter of fact, those superpowers or advanced countries that underestimate Africa during the coronavirus pandemic because of the fragile health care system must rather learn for Africa, how they are coping and preventing the high spread of the disease.

According to Worldometer, an  organization that collects global statistics and data pertaining to the coronavirus, so far, world infection stands at 2,834,136 and 197,373 deaths registered.
