पृष्ठभूमि और मूल आधार

·         किशोरावस्था व्यक्ति के जीवन का वह अहम पड़ाव होता है जो कि वयस्क जीवन मे कदम रखने के लिहाज से काफी महत्वपूर्ण है। यह जीवन का दूसरा दशक होता है जिसमें लड़के/लड़कियाँ अपने जीवन में व्यापक शारीरिक मनोवैज्ञानिक और भावनात्मक बदलाव का अनुभव करते हैं। यह उम्र बेहतर अवसरों के लिए काफी महत्वपूर्ण है जिसमें युवा न सिर्फ अपनी क्षमता को विकसित करते हैं, बल्कि बाल्यावस्था में सीखे गये मूल्यों और उस दौरान सीखे गये कौशल का इस्तेमाल करते हैं, जिसके जरिए उन्हें एक जवाबदेह किशोर होने में मदद मिलता है। 

·         चूंकि यह समय उनके जीवन में व्यापक बदलाव का दौर होता है, इसलिए किशोरों को इस दौर में ऐसी कई  चुनौतियों का सामना करना पड़ता है, जो उनके नियंत्रण से बाहर होती हैं। ये चुनौतियाँ उनके जीवन में व्याप्त असमानता, संस्कृति, लिंग, वैश्वीकरण, और बढ़ती बेरोजगारी और गरीबी से जुड़ा हो सकती हैं।

Delivery System Reaches The Unreached

Every Wednesday, autorickshaw driver, Purnachandra Saba, without fail, delivers boxes of vaccines to anganwadi centres where ASHA worker Sushanti Bhoi patiently waits for the consignments to arrive.

Drivers and ASHAs like Purnachandra and Sushanti are the back bone of the innovative Alternative Vaccine Delivery System (AVDS), that has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality and ensured regularization of immunization of children and pregnant mothers in hard to reach areas in Odisha.

Implemented in 280 blocks of the Orissa state, AVDS is an improved programme intervention in vaccine distribution that has borne rich results for the State.

डाक्टर मुज़फ़्फ़र हुसैन ग़ज़ाली

टीकाकारी की सही मालूमात फ़राहम करना, ग़लत फ़हमियों-ओ-शक-ओ-शुबहात को दूर करना ,टीकों की मांग पैदा करना , बढ़ाना और ख़िदमत फ़राहम करने वालों-ओ-सरकार पर इस काम को बेहतर करने का दबाओ बनाना सहाफियों का काम है। ये बातें सम्यक फाउंडेशन के इश्तिराक से राय पर में मुनाक़िद यूनिसेफ की रीजनल मीडीया वर्कशॉप में सामने आएं। इस वर्कशॉप का इफ़्तिताह छत्तीसगढ़ के वज़ीर-ए-आला डाक्टर रमन सिंह ने किया था। डाक्टर रमन सिंह ने अपनी इफ़्तिताही तक़रीर में कहा कि सूबे में बच्चों की अम्वात और माओं की विलादत के दौरान मौत को कम करना इन का अव्वलीन काम है।

Immunising India: daunting task

25 October 2014, New Delhi, K V Venkatasubramanian

Diseases impair the normal state of a human being interrupting or modifying its vital functions. None, especially children, is immune from them. Right from birth, they engulf or chase humans. Most of us are ignorant or unmoved till we are afflicted. That vaccines can prevent diseases takes time to register in many minds.

Immunisation is one of the most effective methods of preventing childhood diseases. India has made significant achievements in preventing and controlling vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) under the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP)- possibly one of the largest in the world in terms of quantities of vaccines used, number of beneficiaries (27 million infants and 30.2 million pregnant women), geographical spread (29 States and 6 Union Territories) and manpower involved. Polio eradication is a milestone.
