Scholarships for single girl families often reflect fertility goals more than true gender equity. With declining fertility and persistent bias, such schemes should support all girls regardless of sibling count to promote inclusive empowerment.

SBI should inform regularly about KYC, and notice may be given that transactions will be stopped unless done by a given date. Abruptly stopping transactions from customers' bank accounts is against human rights, and pensioners/people face problems activating their accounts.

@wcrfint Very useful study

@UNICEFIndia At least open Government schools in villages and small towns to benefit marginalized children in India. It won't be easy to bring them back to schools after prolonged abstinence from the system.

ANM is maintaining the list of beneficiaries and family folders of households under her coverage area. Collation of records annually and additional components on occupation, education and migration will generate a wealth of data. #Data @MoHFW_INDIA @GoIStats

We required in all labour rooms and ICDS centres digital weighing machines to get an accurate weight of children. @MinistryWCD @POSHANsm @MoHFW_INDIA @UNICEFIndia

[Sayeed Unisa @SayeedUnisa]

When we use non-digital weighing machines, birth weight heaping is sure from the recall of the mother or Mamta card. #birthweight @ MoHFW @MinistryWCD @UNICEFIndia @IIPSMumbai @WHO

At the time of vaccination schedule at the health facility, health personnel can test Hb to identify anaemic children 2 times. It will help to get the prevalence of anaemia in India

[Sayeed Unisa @SayeedUnisa]

There is a need to adopt a new strategy for children in the Anaemia Mukth Bharat programme to reduce the problem of anaemia among children. #anaemia @MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD @IIPSMumbai

The GOI approved the second dose of Covishield for persons going to foreign for education and employment purposes before completing the mandated minimum interval. There is no scarcity of vaccines, and the second dose may be permitted for elderly and travelers after 6-8 weeks.

With budget and manpower constraints, we can not increase the rural health infrastructure to a large extend. Hence, ANMs and ASHAs may be trained to treat COVID 19 cases with mild symptoms at home.

[Sayeed Unisa @SayeedUnisa]

In the cities where daily commuters for work are high by public transport, organisations may arrange chattered buses for workers to reduce the spread of disease.
