Government expands Beti Bachao Beti Padha to pan India
==============
▪️The Union Government has expanded Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) programme from 161 districts to all 640 districts of the country.
▪️The initial focus of BBBP was limited to districts which were either below national average or were worse in their own states in terms of absolute values of Chid Sex Ratio (CSR).
Background
▪️As per data available in Health Management Information System (HMIS), there has been improvement in sex ratio at birth (SRB). The SRB which was 918 in 2014-15 has improved to 926 in 2016-17 as per HMIS data.
▪️The successful implementation of BBBP programme in states and districts has led government to decide to go Pan-India and expand the programme to all districts.
▪️However, looking at magnitude and criticality of problem and its spread across country, the expansion will take care that no district is left out of BBBP ambit.
Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP)
▪️The scheme was launched by Prime Minister in January 2015 at Panipat, Haryana as comprehensive programme to address declining Child Sex Ratio (CSR) and related issues of empowerment of women over life-cycle continuum.
▪️The specific objectives of scheme are preventing gender biased sex selective elimination, ensuring survival and protection of the girl child and ensuring education and participation of the girl child. Its focus is on awareness and advocacy campaign, multi-sectoral action enabling girls’ education and effective enforcement of Pre-Conception & Pre Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC&PNDT) Act.
▪️The scheme is being implemented as a tri-ministerial, convergent effort of Union Ministries of Women and Child Development (WCD), Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) and Human Resource Development (HRD). The Union Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) is nodal ministry for programme at central level.

The 2013 rupee shock
The rupee tumbled after the US Federal Reserve indicated in May 2013 that it would soon begin to cut back on monetary expansion
India was then hobbled with an overvalued exchange rate, inadequate foreign exchange reserves, a record current account deficit, runaway inflation, and a massive fiscal deficit
This placed India in ‘Fragile Five’group along with Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and Indonesia
India is now not fragile but still vulnerable
There are three main risks to economic stability right now
Interest rate normalization in the US
Quantitative tightening would send US bond yields shooting up
US monetary tightening usually reduces capital flows into emerging markets
The Indian current account deficithas also begun to widen
But RBI has record foreign exchange reserves built through several years of intervention in the currency market to defend the rupee in case there is a run on the Indian currency
2. Headwinds from China’s slowing growth
The clampdown on smoke and the move towards clean energy is hampering the Chinese manufacturing sector
The upsurge in producer price inflation that bolstered the profits of state-owned enterprises last year is deteriorating
Countries exposed to a China growth slowdown (through exports) may face a huge blow
Exports from India to China and Hong Kong constitute about 10% of the total Indian exports, so India may not see a drastic impact despite the sputtering of China’s growth engines
3. Escalating trade war
Retaliatory moves by big countries could hurt the exports of countries that participate in the sophisticated system of global value chains
The US accounts for only around 10% of India’s steel and aluminum exports, which limits the material impact of such a tariff on India’s trade
Four worries for the Indian economy
Widening CAD
Current account deficit is likely to widen up to 2% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2018, from 1.7% in 2017
A higher current account deficit could make the economy vulnerable to sudden capital stops
2. Banking crisis
The sluggish pace of bad debt resolution and the growing cases of bank frauds make the economy susceptible to confidence loops
India could be entering a freshly brewed cycle of NPAs
This would necessitate larger-than-earmarked capital infusion, consequently leading to a further pushing back of fiscal consolidation goals
3. Increasing foreign liabilities
Most of the rise in long-term external debt is because of the increase in external commercial borrowings by companies
There are limits to how much the Indian central bank can intervene to absorb these capital flows, given the risks that India could then be tagged a currency manipulator by the US
Heavy currency intervention could increase the risk of trade sanctions from the US
4. Political risks
Important state elections are scheduled in 2018 followed by a national election in 2019
There could be strong incentives to abandon macro stability in favor of spending programmes that lead to a deterioration in public finances
Way forward
The Indian economy seems to be better placed to deal with global shocks than it was in July 2013
There may be no reason to panic but policymakers should stay on guar

Headline inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has remained under control. This was
indicative of benign food inflation
Food inflation measured by the Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) declined. Good agricultural
production coupled with regular price monitoring by
the Government helped to contain inflation. The rise
in food inflation in recent months is mainly due to
factors driving prices of vegetables and fruits. Though
decline in food inflation is broad-based, major drivers
are meat & fish, oil & fats, spices and pulses &
products.
Core Inflation: The CPI based core inflation (i.e. CPI
excluding food and fuel group) has remained above 4
per cent during the last four financial years. Refined
core (CPI excluding food and fuel group, petrol &
diesel) is in line with core inflation.

What is the procedure to remove a high court judge?
@UPSC_18
Removal of high court judge do not find direct place in Art. 217 of constitution of India. Under proviso (b) of Article 217, it has been laid that the procedure mentioned in article 124 would apply.
To understand removal, let us understand appointment. Appointment is made by President and in consultation with Chief Justice of India, governor of State and Chief Justice of Respective High Court. So High Court Judge is appointed by PResident under Article 217. The High court entry takes place in the union list under Entry no.78. under 11A of Concurrent list, it is also the duty of both central and state government to look into admisnitration of justice. But High Court and Supreme Court are in the exclusive domain of Central Government. Anyway government has nothing to do with the removal of judge because judiciary must be independent.
Article 124 tells that judge of supreme court and proviso (b) of Article 217 tell the manner provided therein in Article 124.
What Article 124 says is ; ( in context of high court) A judge shall not be removed by president unless 2/3 of members presenting and voting in parliament voted for removal of judge in parliament after a address with regard to removal of such judge. Such a removal must be after addressing in each house of parliament i.e lok sabha and rajya sabha. and the majority of voting must be 2/3 by adding votes of both the house of parliament.

Police and DM to provide safe houses for couples facing khap panchayat ire: SC
The district magistrate or police chief have to provide couples, who risk the wrath of khap panchayats, not only with logistics and protection at their wedding but also a “safe house” to stay during the first year of marriage.
This is among the guidelines issued by the Supreme Court to be implemented in six weeks.
The safe house, located in the same district or elsewhere, can accommodate the couple for a nominal charge.
State governments have to establish safe houses in district headquarters.
But before the district magistrate or the police chief take the couple under their official protection, they have to assess whether the “bachelor-bachelorette are capable adults.”
The safe houses would function under the direct supervision of the jurisdictional District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police.
In a strongly worded condemnation of khap panchayats, which gang up against young couples to force their presence and dictate punishments, Chief Justice Misra said khaps feel their duty is sanctified and their action of punishing the hapless victims is inviolable.
Women are treated by the khaps as servile persons who have no desire for autonomy. Their families are either silent spectators or active participants in their torture.
“Masculine dominance becomes the sole governing factor of perceptive honour.”
These “feudalistic” entities have no compunction in committing crimes, the court said.
The court gave a list of actions which trigger honour-based crimes: loss of virginity outside marriage; unapproved relationships; refusing an arranged marriage; divorce; demanding custody of children; scandal; and “falling victim to rape”

💎💎Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) is an emission standard that will induce technology in the vehicles to reduce pollutant emissions
💎💎The vehicles will mandatorily include On board Diagnostics (OBD), which will monitor the pollution caused by the vehicle in real time.-Acumenias
💎💎NOx emission will come down by approximately 25% for the petrol engine and 68% for the diesel engines.
The PM emission will see a substantial decrease of 80% in diesel engines.-Acumenias
💎💎Though BS VI is in lines with Euro VI norm, it overcomes the drawback in the Euro VI norm that allows emission of higher PM (particulate matter) in diesel engines.

India’s health indicators
On health indices, there have been some successes but we still face innumerable, complex challenges
Over the years, we have successfully eradicated diseases such as polio and tetanus, done reasonably well in the fight against malaria and in halting the spread of HIV
Current issues in Indian Healthcare System
Today, the country is grappling with the twin problems of communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to a variety of causes
With India ranked at an unflattering 154th in a Lancet study on “Healthcare Access and Quality Index” published last year, we need to work hard to make India “Swasth Bharat” in the coming years
Both the public and private sector have a big task on hand as a whole range of issues have to be tackled —
from the problem of malnutrition to providing an inclusive and affordable healthcare to every citizen
Low doctor-population ratio in India
India has less than one doctor for every 1,000 people, which is below the WHO norm
The doctor-population ratio is estimated to be 0.62:1,000 as per the current population, while the number of hospital beds is estimated to be 0.5 per 1,000 people
The public expenditure on the health sector
The first and foremost priority has to be to increase the public expenditure on the health sector
With the economy projected to improve further in the coming years, public expenditure on the health sector has to be enhanced significantly
Need of providing proper healthcare to the elderly people
Ensuring proper healthcare to the elderly is another major area of concern for the governments and all other stakeholders involved in the health sector
The problems associated with geriatrics such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases are on the rise, while depression in both the young and old is becoming a major health issue
Perhaps, it might be a good idea to set up special geriatric clinics in different localities in cities under public-private partnership
Ayushman Bharat scheme
the recently announced Ayushman Bharat scheme to provide health cover to 10 crore families and
the proposal to set up 1.5 lakh health and wellness centres will go a long way in providing the much-needed affordable healthcare to millions across the country
The way forward
There is a need of every individual to make lifestyle changes
Healthcare should be affordable and accessible to the common man so that a healthy and happy India becomes a reality in the coming years
The private sector must follow ethical practices and supplement the efforts of the government.

Supreme Court directed that for the arrest of those accused under the Act who are public servants, approval of the appointing authority is required, and for all other accused, the approval of the SSP.
