Over 8.8 lakh deaths — India on top in UNICEF report on under-5 child mortality in 2018
ये कहाँ जा रहे हैं हम ?
New Delhi: In 2018, India reported the highest number of deaths of children aged below 5 years, a UNICEF report released Wednesday said.
India reported 8,82,000 child deaths, followed by Nigeria with 8,66,000 deaths and Pakistan with 4,09,000. However, the report said, the median under-five mortality rate per 1,000 live births in India is 37, while the figure is 120 for Nigeria and 69 for Pakistan.
Titled ‘The State of the World’s Children (SOWC)’, the report also stated that around 38 per cent Indian children under the age of five years suffer from stunting. There is also a state-wise disparity as “almost half of children are stunted in the worst-affected state compared with a fifth in the least-affected state”.

कारवाँ रुका नहीं
बिना कुछ कहे सुने,
अलविदा कहे बग़ैर
चले गए.
समुंदर के पार से आती
आवाजों को अनसुना कर.
आवाज़ लगाते रहें
पर कारवाँ रुका नहीं.
क्या यह सच है कि
पीछे से आतीं
आवाज़ें वही सुनतें हैं
जिन्हें रुकना होता है ?
मुस्कुराते है….
मुस्कुराते है….
अपने दर्द को छुपाने के लिए,
अपनों का हौसला बढ़ाने के लिए,
ग़मों से दिल को बहलाने के लिए.
पर क्यों इससे भी शिकायत है?
Free of desires
All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire.

Explainer: What Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, Michael Kremer Won the Economics Nobel For
New Delhi: The 2019 Nobel prize for economics has been given to three economists whose focus has been on framing policies by first measuring the outcomes of alternative interventions on randomly chosen samples from the target population.
Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer have all worked on using this method to argue that randomised controlled trials (RCTs) can lead to better poverty reduction interventions.

बिखरना भी ज़रूरी है…
सब संभाल सकते हैं हम.
इस वहम में ज़िंदगी जीते हैं.
पर यह ख़्याल बड़ी देर से आता है कि
बिखेरना भी ज़रूरी है सिमटने के लिए.
