Lopez makes Aircel Chennai Open debut
15102014
After an impressive playing season, Spaniard looks to fire up 2015 at the prestigious Indian tournament
CHENNAI, 15th October 2014: World No.14 Feliciano Lopez has confirmed his participation in the 20th edition of the Aircel Chennai Open, scheduled to be played at Chennai’s SDAT Stadium from 5th to 11th January 2015. This will be the talented Spaniard’s first visit to the US $450,000 tournament, one that is India and South Asia’s only ATP World Tour tennis event and draws many of the world’s leading tennis stars.
Lopez will begin his 2015 season in Chennai after playing an impressive year of tennis where he successfully defended his AEGON International title and became the first player to reach consecutive grass-court finals prior to Wimbledon since 2001. He left a strong impression by reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon but went down valiantly to Stan Wawrinka. The Madrid native also reached the third round of the US Open for the fifth straight year, apart from defeating World No.2 Rafael Nadal at the Shanghai Rolex Masters.
The 33-year-old left-handed player has had an exciting tennis career after he turned professional in 1997, during which he won 4 career titles and reached his current career-high singles ranking of World No.14 this week. In 2005, he was the first male Spanish tennis player to reach the quarterfinals of Wimbledon since 1972. He repeated the feat in 2008 and 2011. Lopez is known as an exceptionally strong grass court player, with 3 quarterfinal runs at Wimbledon. He is also known for a big, strong serve and capacity to play balls repeatedly on the baseline.
Speaking about his confirmation, Feliciano Lopez said, “As South Asia’s only ATP World Tour tennis event, the Aircel Chennai Open presents a great platform to kick start the new season. I am glad to confirm my presence, look forward to playing in the city of Chennai, and begin the year on a positive note. Can’t wait to get there to play in front of my Indian fans!”
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. M.A Alagappan, President of Tamil Nadu Tennis Association (TNTA) said, “We are pleased to receive confirmation from Feliciano Lopez for Aircel Chennai Open 2015. We are sure Chennai’s tennis fans will get pleasure from his presence as much as he will enjoy starting his season in India. We wish him the very best.”
Ashu Jindal, Chief Operating Officer, IMG Reliance, said, “We are delighted to know that Spain’s Feliciano Lopez will play in the 20th edition of the Aircel Chennai Open. While we welcome regulars to the tournament each year, we feel honored to receive and host new entrants as well. We trust that Feliciano will enjoy playing in front of Chennai’s tennis enthusiasts.”
The Title Sponsor for the tournament is Aircel and the event is supported by a consortium of sponsors in the Platinum and Gold category, headed by the Government of Tamil Nadu.

MC MARY KOM ON INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR RURAL WOMEN (15TH OCT 2014)
15102014
I understand you, because I was a girl too…
On the occasion of International Day for Rural Women (15th October 2014), Celebrated athlete and boxer and a mother,MC Mary Kom highlights the need to drive behaviour change to ensure good health for women and girls in the rural areas and the urban slums and urges people to help spread these messages across to the rural communities. As a part of “The Taj Must Smile” campaign, behaviour change will ensure that the women are able to lead a healthier lifestyle, girls and women are aware about their health needs during crucial days of menstruation, pregnancy and lactation.
Bringing up a child is like reliving your childhood and for a woman, in spite of all the pain, motherhood is the biggest joy of her life.A smooth and complications free pregnancy is also the most enjoyable time in a woman’s life. A girl’s life is often full of curiosities, anxieties and at times solitude. She needs to prepare for her journey as a woman very early in life, right when she hits her teens, when she first starts menstruating. Hitting puberty is a milestone in the life of a girl and how she deals with it, embarks a lap which could either be an exciting free ride or full of pitfalls and doldrums.
Menstruation in India has traditionally been associated with myths and taboos and adolescent girls find it extremely difficult to even discuss the issue with their parents or elders in the family. Over 23% of girls in India drop out of schools due to lack of proper toilets and sanitation measures in addition to the stress and psychological burden she is anyway facing because she thinks that menstruation is a problem.
I have personally faced similar issues; I have seen my acquaintance who were isolated and couldn’t even see- off their departed near and dear ones (attend funeral/rituals) because they were having their periods. They cannot enter kitchen, touch utensils and have to avoid contacts with family and friends. What an embarrassment…Can we continue to be unfair to these girls who are expected to bring a new life into this world tomorrow?Can we allow them to continue to be ignorant towards their health needs?
Menstruation is the first step towards a healthy motherhood but in India it is culturally considered dirty or impure. We need to break this taboo and teach our daughters that it is OK to have periods and it should not weigh them down mentally or physically or hold them back from accomplishing their dreams.As a growing girl we have all had our share of anxieties when we attained puberty imagine those girls in the rural areas who are not educated and informed about menstruation before they hit puberty. It can be quite a physiological as well as psychological burden. As mothers we
should not shy away from talking about periods to our daughters and educating them. It is time that we break this taboo about menstrual hygiene.
Ensuring proper hygiene for our daughters during puberty will also ensure that they are not vulnerable to any infections and grow up to be healthy women. In rural and tribal areas, girls continue to use sawdust, grass or mud during the periods which can lead to infections and even death. . We should tell our daughters to keep themselves that they should use sanitary napkins or a clean cloth during period and that they should bathe regularly and change their napkins or the cloth every 4- 6 hours to keep them clean and dry.
As a girl grows into a woman there are larger challenges that she need to face. Her health needs also increase, she takes care of the house, her family but does she get the needed care? More than 5 lakh women worldwide die annually from complications during childbirth which can be largely attributed to lack of proper nutrition, lack of proper post natal care and the large number of unassisted childbirths that happen at home. While taking care of her family a woman should also be made aware of her own health needs, she should have at least 100 IFA tablets during pregnancy, take balanced meals rich in vitamins and minerals, take adequate rest and deliver at a proper hospital to avoid any complications. She should also be told that all these facilities are available to her free of cost under the different government schemes like JananiShishuSurakshaKaryakram (JSSK).
400 years ago, “The TajMahal” was built in the memory of MumtazMahal, who died during child birth. The monument of love is also a reminder of those numerous mothers and children who lose their lives to easily preventable birth related complications. Today government has made all facilities available for pregnant mothers, now it is our duty to avail them, and to inform women to follow healthy behaviours to bring down maternal mortality rates, meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDG 5) for India and MAKE THE TAJ SMILE.

New Foreign Trade Policy needs to focus on LatAm, Africa, CIS, Pacific Islands
15102014
ASHOK B SHARMA*
India’s foreign trade has badly suffered since the beginning of the global financial crisis in August-September 2008 and added to this the subsequent shock of the sovereign crisis in Eurozone added to the problem.
Over dependence on markets in the developed countries was the cause for shrinkage in Indian exports. As the recovery in developed countries and increase in demand is slow, India should strengthen trade bonds with the developing and least developed countries. Instead of pushing for Bilateral Investment and Trade Agreement (BITA) with EU which is fraught with problems like intellectual property rights, agreements on dairy and pharma sectors, India should look for more South-South cooperation and extend its outreach to new non-traditional markets in Latin America and the Caribbean, central Asian republics, Africa, small Pacific island countries and even explore greater opportunities in Russia for exports.
The energy-rich countries and those endowed with natural resources in these regions can attract Indian investments and solve the problem of India’s energy security. India should focus on project exports to Africa, West Asia, central Asian republics and some ASEAN countries.
Recovery in developing countries is faster than in the developed world. Bonds with these countries will help India to fight against developed world for a level playing field at the WTO.
The growth trends in India’s exports and imports became erratic with the changing situation. After a negative trend in export growth (-1.82%) in 2012-13, the performance improved to 4.66% in 2013-14. But imports dipped to -8.26% in 2013-14 from a low base of 0.29% in the previous year. Trade balance remained negative at $1,35,794 million.
Growth in exports is maintained in the current fiscal (April-August 2014) growing at 7.31%. to $1,34,798 million. But growth in imports turned negative by 2.69%. with $4,50,200 million Trade balance improved but still remained negative at $56,151 million. As the manufacturing sector in the country is picking up imports of capital goods, machinery and key raw materials are likely to rise. However services enjoy positive trade balance.
Trade has invariably become an integral part of diplomacy. As the new government after assuming office is slated to come out with a new Foreign Trade Policy for the next five years, it would be advisable that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry work in close cooperation with the Ministry of External Affairs while evolving this new policy. Adequate incentives should be given for export promotion to Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Pacific Islands, central Asian republics and Russia.
India had made some initial attempts to explore new export destinations in South America and the Caribbean, but with limited success.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has just begun the process of engaging with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), consisting of 33 sovereign countries representing about 600 million people. The group includes Mexico and excludes Canada and the United States, as well as the territories of France, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom in the Americas. There are sub-regional groupings like Mercosur and the Andean with India should engage
CELAC was created on December 3, 2011, in Caracas, Venezuela to deepen Latin American integration and to reduce the once overwhelming influence of the United States on the politics and economics of Latin America. It is an alternative to the Organization of American States (OAS), the regional body organised largely by Washington in 1948, ostensibly as a countermeasure to the then potential Soviet influence in the region. This is the right time for India step in, particularly when it has closer relationship with a major country in the region, Brazil.
However in the last year, there was over 20% decline in India’s exports to Latin America, but in the first quarter of the current fiscal Indian exports to Latin America has grown by 35% from $2.1 billion to $2.9 billion. Exports to Brazil grew by 75%, followed by exports to Peru by 25% and exports to Columbia by 17%. However, the import restrictions imposed by Argentina is a cause of concern.
CELAC is diverse with countries following different economic systems and trade policies. It has 18 Spanish-speaking countries, one each Portuguese, French and Dutch speaking country and 12 English-speaking countries. However, by and large the countries in the region want to move out of the predominant US influence. China is also engaging with the region. Trade between China and Latin America grew by 8% to $255.5 billion in 2012, faster than the 6.2% growth of the continent';s trade with the US. A study by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean predicts China will surpass the European Union as Latin America';s second-largest trading partner in 2016. Some estimates forecast that in 15 years, China will overtake the US to become Latin America';s largest trade partner. Chinese investment in the continent';s energy and infrastructure sectors is rising rapidly, with more than $550 billion of infrastructure projects in the market. It is to be seen how effectively India plays its diplomacy in the region for boosting trade relations and energy imports.
India mainly engages with the diverse African Continent through the umbrella body African Union comprising of membership of 55 countries. But Morocco is not a member of African Union while some countries remain suspended from membership due to political reasons. It would be better for India to engage with the regional groups in Africa, if not directly with countries. Regional groups have overlapping membership. There are eight groups recognised by the African Union like Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD), East African Community (EAC), Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and Southern African Development Community (SADC).
There are eight other groups not recognised by the African Union like Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA/WAEMU), Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL), Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), Mano River Union (MRU), Southern African Customs Union (SACU), International Conference on Great Lakes Region (ICGLR/CIRGL), Senegal River Basin Development Authority (OMVS). Thus it would be tactical for India to engage with each of these groups.
Traditionally, India has good trade relations with eastern, northern and southern Africa. It is time to give added focus for developing greater trade relations with central and western Africa. Prospects for engaging with sub-Saharan Africa looks bright with good recovery in the region.
In its Look East Policy, India has already engaged itself substantially with the South-East Asia and East Asia. It is now time to look further east and engage with the natural resource rich small Pacific Ocean islands. With Australia and New Zealand in the region partnering with these countries it would not be difficult to engage with these countries that form the Pacific Ocean Island Forum to which India enjoys an Observer status.
Though the growth rate in central Asian republics and Russia remain subdued, it opportune moment for India to engage with the energy-rich region endowed with natural resources. The situation of recent EU and US sanctions against Russia provides an opportunity for India to regain its lost markets in specific products.

Confluence of media professionals from 5 states to save lives of children
15102014
Raipur, Oct 14, 2014: Media professionals from print, electronic and digital media from the states of Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi along with government representatives and health professionals converged in Raipur to deliberate on strategies for greater media engagement in promoting Routine Immunization (RI) of children against deadly childhood diseases.
The Chief Minister, Government of Chhattisgarh, Dr. Raman Singh inaugurated the two-day workshop in the presence of Mr. Aman Agarwal, State Minister of Health & Family Welfare,; Dr. Subhash Pandey, State Immunization Officer, Chhattisgarh; Dr. Kamalpreet Singh, IAS, Director, Health Services, Government of Chhattisgarh; and Mr. Prasanta Dash, Chief of Field Office, UNICEF, Chhattisgarh.
Dr Raman Singh said that reducing Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortal Rate (MMR) in the state has been his top priority as Chief Minister. Dr Singh said that Chhattisgarh has achieved 75 percent coverage in RI. However, the real success would be when the state reaches 95 per cent. “The last mile is always the most difficult but we are committed to devise ways of overcoming infrastructural, manpower and access bottlenecks to increase RI coverage to 95 percent in coming years.”
He emphasised that the media can play a critical role in spreading awareness and dispelling myths about RI. Vernacular language press in particular has to play a key role in engaging the community spread over forested and inaccessible terrain of Chhattisgarh.
The Health Minister, Mr Amar Agarwal, said only media can catalyse critical awareness about RI among people. The present focus is to create infrastructure and manpower with a long-term perspective so that the hurdles in process of immunization could be removed. He assured media persons that Department of Health under his charge would create resources which can be accessed by journalists for informed and correct writing on health issues, including RI.
The Vice Chancellor of Kushabhau Thakre University, Dr Sachhidanand Joshi, highlighted the low priority of health journalism in media coverage. “Media coverage, “ he said, “was largely event based and there is a dearth of well-researched and knowledge-based inspirational stories. This has to be corrected and the media should engage with issues which directly affect the lives and health of the people. Specialised health journalism courses are needed for it.”
Dr Kamalpreet Singh, Director, Health, Government of Chhattisgarh, said pentavelant vaccine would be introduced in the state shortly.
Mr. Prasanta Dash, Chief of Field Office, UNICEF, Chhattisgarh, said, “RI is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 4 lakh child deaths each year in India.” Tribal areas and urban slums, he said, were two pockets where RI coverage has to be reinforced and media can play the role of a catalyst in these areas.
Rahul Dev, Managing Trustee, Samyak Foundation, New Delhi, said that media has a dual role in creating community demand for RI by creating awareness and the right pressure for delivery of services on agencies responsible for RI. He said that media must dispel myths regarding vaccinations, and fears about side effects of vaccines.
My FM RJ Animesh gave an interesting demonstration on how messages on immunization schedules can be disseminated creatively through radio spots.
Visit to a cold chain store and immunization session were oragnised to get first-hand exposure to immunization process. They engaged in group work exercises to brainstorm on challenges of media coverage of RI immunization. These included how to increase media space; improving the quality of coverage; media engagement with social influencers; the use of social media and the role of media during AEFI (Adverse Events Following Immunization).
Ms. Sonia Sarkar, Communication Officer, UNICEF, Delhi, Dr. Ajay Trakroo, Health Specialist, UNICEF, Chhattisgarh, Mr. Syam Sudheer Bandi, Communication Officer, UNICEF, Chhattisgarh also spoke on the occasion
The workshop was organised by UNICEF and Samyak Foundation with the support of the Government of Chhattisgarh. The workshop was the second of the three workshops which will cover the nine low Routine Immunization (RI) coverage states in the country. The key recommendations of the workshop included creating a network of health journalists, increased interface between government, civil society and media and capacity building of government officials on handling and responding to the media. All the journalists were encouraged to join the online health network created for them.
