Corporate hospitals across the country have threatened to stop cashless treatment to lakhs of Central Government employees from January 1. This will impact about 45 lakh employees of the Central Government and public sector agencies who are benefiting from the insurance scheme.Protesting against “unviable” rates being given to them under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), the Association of Healthcare Providers (India) (AHPI) has said that it will give three months’ time to the Government to revise the rates.“After that we will stop all cashless services at our hospitals. We will, however, continue to provide services on paying cash (at the hospital rates). They can seek reimbursement later,’’ said Alex Thomas, an AHPI leader.PRICE CORRECTIONRepresentatives of about 100 corporate hospitals held a meeting here on Saturday to discuss the challenges they face with regard to CGHS cases. AHPI said the Government should come out with a scientific method to arrive at proper packages for various treatments.“They have not revised the tariff for various procedures for years, while the cost of operations has gone up significantly,” said Bhaskara Rao, President of the Andhra Pradesh Speciality Hospitals Association and Chief Executive Officer of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences.The Association will submit a memorandum to the Centre through CGHS authorities, demanding a hike in tariff for several packages.Deviprasad Shetty, Chairman of Narayana Hrudayalaya, said hospitals are not being paid on time, and that the payments are below the actual cost (of procedures).When asked about the alleged malpractices and inflation of bills by corporate hospitals, both Thomas and Rao said that all such violations should be probed into. source : http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/CPSE/BSNL - Revision of Scales 01.01.2007 - Payment of IDA at revised rates w.e.f.

Welcome presence: The postman. Photo: B. Jothi Ramalingam As the Department of Posts celebrates National Postal Week from October 9 to 15, S. Theodore Bhaskaran, retired Chief Postmaster General of Tamil Nadu, recalls some memorable moments
It was called ‘Dog fight’ — Indian and Pakistani aircraft chasing each other in the sky. “I have seen two such dog fights while serving in the Postal and Telegraph department in Shillong,” recalls S. Theodore Bhaskaran, retired Chief Postmaster General of Tamil Nadu.Theodore joined the Indian postal service in 1968 in Trichy and retired in 1998. “Annadurai had taken over as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. As his friends were in the trade union, he paid a visit to my office in Trichy and addressed us. There were no high security arrangements and we just organised a table and a few chairs,” he recalls.He served as District Superintendent in Vellore and later worked in Meghalaya. “I was deputed as the special officer for war efforts as the Bangladesh war had broken. I was the connecting point between the Army camps and the P&T. Many people dug up trenches around their houses to hide during bomb raids.”Speaking about his journey in the department, he says: “It is staff oriented. The Postal department was one of the first to be Indianised during British rule.” But, it was not a high-profile department. “Only 20 years ago were we given vehicles. Once, during my posting in Coimbatore, I wanted to have a postal bay at the Erode bus stand as it is a central point that connects places such as Sathyamangalam, Gobichettipalayam, Bhavani and Dharapuram. I wrote to the State Government, but was simply told to take part in the auction along with flower vendors and bid for the space!”The retired chief postmaster calls the introduction of pin codes in 1978 as a breakthrough for the largest postal department in the world. “In terms of the number of post offices, we are larger than China. Except India, nowhere else in the world can you write a letter at a cost cheaper than a phone call.”Post offices were once used to stock medicines for cholera and malaria during World War I. In the late 60s, it stocked male contraceptives too. “It was a wonderful scheme where the branch manger could sell the product. But, it faced backlash during the Emergency,” he remembers.Theodore regrets that despite its omnipresence, the department is largely under utilised. “Go to any remote village and the only presence of the Government is a post office. Now, your money is transferred online and you may not see the post man, but postal traffic continues. A lot of money is pumped in towards training of staff and officers. The staff are more polite now. In villages, postal banking is well received. It’s the post office that still distributes old age pension,” he explains.As a postal department representative, this film historian, author and wildlife conservationist, criss-crossed the country, served in Kenya and travelled to Russia and Japan. “A five-day week gave me a plenty of time to pursue my other interests. This department is also the least corrupt. In my entire service, I have never been forced to do anything I did not want to,” says Theodore.Probably why, the one Government servant who is welcome anywhere, any time, at any part of the country and treated with goodwill is the postman, he says.Employment News - Job Highlights (12 October- 18 October 2013)

Where knowledge is poor
The role of education in reducing poverty is widely recognised but our planners are yet to realise how the impoverished struggle with a learning process that is unresponsive to their needs
In a society where poverty is far more common than prosperity, one would expect the implications of poverty for education to be widely recognised. What we find, instead, is that poverty is seldom mentioned directly in policy documents on education. Policymakers feel more comfortable using euphemisms like “economically weaker sections,” the “marginalised” or the “deprived” to refer to the poor. No wonder the impact of poverty on children’s life at school and learning is understood rather vaguely not just by educational planners, but teachers too.IncompatibilityThe reason poverty must be treated as a factor of education arises from a basic incompatibility between the two. Education necessarily demands long-term horizons. Poverty, on the contrary, compels people to remain embedded in immediate or short-term concerns. India has now recognised eight years of compulsory education as a right of every child, but endemic poverty and social inequality are posing tough constraints in making this law a reality. Elementary education by itself means little; it can only serve as a foundation for further education over many years. The informal economy on which the poor survive forces them to live from day to day. They want to — but usually fail to — plan for the distant future in which their progeny might reap the fruits of education. The children belonging to poor families find it difficult to cope with the regularity that schools demand. This is because hunger, illness and insecurity interrupt their life at home all the time. Their parents have to use most of their energies in order to deal with everyday emergencies.Life under poverty is unpredictable and prone to sudden losses and traumas. For the poor, there is no such thing as normalcy. Anything can happen anytime, and all you can do is to cope as you suffer. In big cities, municipal authorities can suddenly clear a street of food vendors or bulldoze an unauthorised colony. Next morning, when a child fails to be at school or looks subdued, the teacher shows no curiosity to find out what might have happened to the child’s father or mother the previous afternoon. In rural areas, flood waters can drown hundreds of houses; yet the school is supposed to function and cover the prescribed syllabus! Dams or factories can mean displacement of whole villages. What will happen to children is the least important concern for those in charge of such operations. I once met children in Manibeli, a village that now lies at the bottom of the Sardar Sarovar dam. They had gone through the trauma of seeing their own school vanish under water.Mid-day meals programmePoverty also has a corrosive effect on children’s health and mental capacities. Frequent illness, especially on account of stomach-related problems, is common among children who live in conditions characterised by poor sanitation. A recent study has shown how filthy surroundings, in which faecal material mixes with water and food, weaken the capacity to absorb nutrition. Limited resources to eat well and regularly result in a daily cycle of anxiety and low energy which translates into poor attention to the teacher’s expectations. There cannot be better evidence of the relationship between hunger and education than the success of the mid-day meals programme. The fact that this minimalist scheme has actually improved enrolment and retention proves how major a role hunger and malnourishment play in pushing children to drop out of school. Certain State governments have recently administered a dose of deworming medicine, recognising the prevalence of parasites and the impact of this condition on children’s nutritional status, energy and attention.Vicious cyclePoverty often leads to children’s involvement in household work and outside activities that might augment the family’s income, on top of their school work. The burden of responsibilities at home or outside directly influences the child’s participation in school life and capacity to fulfil the teacher’s expectations. Teachers of private schools where 25 per cent of the seats are now being given to the “economically weaker sections” (EWS) category seldom know with clarity what life at home means for children in this category. From looking after younger siblings to sweeping the floor and cooking, an EWS girl often shares major tasks her mother is supposed to accomplish on a daily basis. Whether children work at home or outside, their effort to juggle work-related responsibilities with classroom routines makes their life at school porous and thin. Absence from school or inability to focus makes a direct impact on performance. Once a child starts to lag behind others, he or she becomes a relevant object of stereotyping by classmates and teachers. A vicious cycle sets in. Common stereotypes about the poor get invoked in the teacher’s mind and the child’s behaviour resonates and reinforces these stereotypes. Some of these stereotypes are rooted in caste-related beliefs or in religion. Of course, no principal or teacher would ever acknowledge being guided by these stereotypes.Education alone cannot address poverty. However, it holds an important place among the numerous strategies that a welfare state must adopt to loosen the grip that chronic poverty has on its victims. A recent British study led by Anand Mani shows how poverty saps the energy of its victims. They often fail to keep up with the effort it takes to avail the state’s benefits. The daily struggles and anxieties of life reinforce the cycle of ill-health and missed appointments. In India, the state’s efforts are quite often mainly symbolic. The distribution of iron tablets or syrup to overcome chronic malnutrition among adolescent girls is a good instance. Had the famous mid-day meal been aimed at middle class children, it would have been priced more realistically. Greater flexibility to cope with price rise would have been permitted. Schemes for the poor are themselves so emaciated and stiff that they cannot be expected to make a significant difference in the lives of their beneficiaries.Nor are strategies to combat poverty sufficiently contextualised or flexible. Rigidity and uniformity are said to be necessary to avoid corruption and misuse. Even a distinction as broad as rural and urban is overlooked when plans to address the educational problems of poor children are designed. Whether a school has drowned in a dam or been blasted by insurgents or it has been demolished because it was collapsing anyhow, the officials in charge make no distinction or find ways to compensate for the loss of classes. Children studying in government schools are deemed to be poor and, therefore, unimportant. I remember visiting a village in Haryana where the children told me that their best teacher had been transferred away two months ahead of the annual examination. All over the country, government school children cope with the absence of their teachers during elections. It is the children who subsidise the cost of democracy while their parents enthusiastically cast their vote, hoping that it will lead to improvement in their lives.For better trainingTeachers can make a significant difference in the educational experience of poor children, but only if their training equips them with the awareness of what poverty means. Our training programmes are so wordy and wasteful, they make no effort to get into specific issues like poverty. A widespread belief in the ideology of social Darwinism prevents teachers from realising that children of the poor are like any other group of children, with individual differences of interest and motivation. According to this ideology, survival is the proof of being the fittest, hence only the exceptional child from a poor family is endowed by nature to succeed. Training courses don’t engage with such attitudes and beliefs. Teachers who work in mixed classrooms don’t expect all children to succeed in their own different ways. They focus on the few who look exceptional; the rest are believed to lack any potential. It is hardly surprising that the system of education makes so little impact on the majority of children from poorer backgrounds.(The author is professor of education at Delhi University and a former NCERT director.
