After two Covid waves, the long wait for dry ration and absence of cooked meals have started defeating one of the purposes of the midday meal scheme — luring poor students to school.

My ground report from Rural UP.

[Dr. Purnima Menon @PMenonIFPRI]

Finding fiscal space for effective programs is important. School breakfasts (in other countries) are proven to reduce hunger & improve learning. India should at least find resources to pilot & learn about school breakfasts. Short & long term benefits possible.

Recently, I have been involved in global health discussions on country ownership of their public health response. Here are some of the lessons I have learned in my 20 yrs of country support.

[Gautam Bhan @GautamBhan80]

If a vaccine approved for emergency use, under a legally declared disaster, during a pandemic, doesn't fit your definition of a public good enough for you to not accept Rs 400-600 as base and differentiated pricing, then what in the world will?

Finally recieved my copy! Starting the week reading @mrajshekhar's 'Despite the State'.

[Dr. Purnima Menon @PMenonIFPRI]

The intrepid @Rukmini reports on nutrition in the #NFHS5 - we spoke at length today. We know how stunting improves - you need the economy, the health/nutrition programs & the equity-focused safety nets. What happens when one or more of those falter is likely what we see here.

“Can I speak to Dr Ahluwalia?”

A woman’s voice replied: “Speaking”.

The puzzled journalist then asked: “Can I speak to the other Dr Ahluwalia?”.

“There is only one Dr Ahluwalia in this house”, the woman replied, and put down the phone.

Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) are top-down in policy but also the supplementing IT is built & designed for Delhi.

It best reflects in the design of reports/dashboards & data entry forms. The tools required by the state to monitor/help itself are often missing.

Is it pertinent now, more than ever before, to look at role of the panchayat to be envisioned beyond a village-level task force to contain #COVID19 crisis? @avani_kapur @aishpanicker on revisiting the position of panchayats in governance system @thewire_in https://t.co/lbSWwiBtPV
