[Data For India @dataforin]

One of the most remarkable stories of change in India has been the successful effort to bring most children into schools.

To understand how many children in a particular educational level are in school, we look at a measure called the enrolment ratio. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) is the number of children enrolled in an education level relative to their population. Over time, the GER in India has risen across all education levels, but most substantially at the elementary level (Grades 1-8).

At the primary level (Grades 1 to 5), India's gross enrolment ratio is now more than 100%. This is  a result of some underage or overage children being enrolled in primary classes. Even at the upper primary level (Grades 6-8), the gross enrolment ratio has reached 95% as of 2021.

Beyond the overall growth in enrolment ratios lies yet another significant achievement - the closing of the gender gap in enrolment.

In 1951, fewer than three in ten girls were enrolled at the primary level of education against six in ten for boys. At the upper primary level, girls were virtually absent - less than 5% were enrolled. This gap has now been closed; an equal or slightly higher proportion of female students as compared to male students are now enrolled at both stages.

How does India’s GER compare to other countries across education levels? Read @akwaghmare's piece to find out: https://t.co/7JrVmIJrXJ

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Dr. @dr_sivaranjani painstakingly fought for 8 years to convince the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to heed the harms of fake ORS drinks targeting children, flooding the market from greedy corporate companies.

She won. FSSAI ordered the ban on the use of “ORS” in product names except for WHO-approved formulations - which meant that these companies fake mislabelled products could not be sold.

But then, she lost.

In a new twist of events, the Delhi High Court and FSSAI has now ordered that fake ORS products, especially the worst and the most stocked one - ORSL Drink by JNTL Consumer Health (the name for the Indian consumer health subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which is now known as Kenvue) can continue to be sold temporarily under the High Court’s interim protection.

The Court and FSSAI has essentially allowed the sale of fake mislabelled products worth 180 crore Indian Rupees to protect the interest of the greedy corporations without any concern for the children's health.

As a citizen of this country, you can help the good doctor and her great deed by BOYCOTTING THESE SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS - LET THESE PRODUCTS ROT ON THE SHELVES. The public is the most powerful entity of a Nation. Let us be one and take care of ourselves and our children.

Do not buy these SUGARY products with zero health benefits and do not follow WHO Standards- and spread the word please! Share maximum!

ORSL by JTNL (Johnson and Johnson, Kenvue)
REBALANCE VIT ORS (ReddyLabs)
GLUCON - D ORS (Zydus)

The Courts allowed it. FSSAI consented to it.
But as the public of this country who value our childrens health, let us not. Make sure these greedy corporations suffer for their deceptions.

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult **

You follow one charismatic Leader

In your Leader’s mind your Leader can do no wrong

In your mind your Leader can do no wrong

Your Leader demonizes outsiders

Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion

It’s World Health Day.

When it comes to health, most of you are wasting 99% of your energy on things that do not matter. I want you to focus on these 4 things instead.

It’s my heartfelt advice to you to stay away from all the clickbait nonsense and focus on basics.

Weirdly, aircraft pilots and ship captains have among the highest adjusted rates of Alzheimer's—these jobs arguably require "relatively little navigational demands due to their reliance on predetermined routes"

[prabhu 🏋🏻👟🏸📖☕︎ @prabhum]

Sounds logical. Is this mere correlation or is there variation?

New study: An analysis of 400 occupations found that taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest proportion of deaths from Alzheimer’s—raising the possibility that constant stimulation of the hippocampus, used for navigational and spatial processing, might be protective

Who are Indians descended from? Aryans from Europe? Dravidians who've been "here" forever? The Indus valley civilization?

A controversial question for 150+ years, but now we have DNA evidence that answers these questions with a high degree of certainty.
