Health tops the list of priorities for UP CM, says Nirmal Singh 3C


With the BRD Medical College tragedy still fresh, a high-level delegate will visit Lucknow on the 4th day of September to meet with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and will sit with his departmental heads. This will be the third meeting between the National Institute for Transforming India’s delegates and the CM.

The previous two meetings were conducted with a focus on factors and sectors involving irrigation, education, health, and water management. But with the tensions surrounding the medical tragedy not subsiding, the focus of the third meeting will be on health as it is the area that is challenging the state of UP. Rajiv Kumar, who is the new chairman of the Aayog and a resident of the city, is supervising the project along with the UP government. - NirmalSingh 3C

The third visit comes just days after the Gorakhpur tragedy in which 30 kids died in less than 48 hours. The cause of death was said to be a heavy disruption in the oxygen supply in the hospital on both 10th and 11th August. The NITI Aayog, in its report, mentioned that the tragedy took place just because the government was too busy in other sectors. There is also a chance that the health sector will see heavy privatization.

Alok Kumar is heading the Aayog and has said that the delegation will interact with government to discuss the health issues in the state and how the health services can be improved. - Nirmal Singh 3C
A report was recently released by the NITI Aayog in which it ranked UP at the 23rd position out of 100 worst performing districts in the country and that number went up to 51st when the list was compiled for 200 worst districts. The report also made it clear that there’s an urgent need to improve the working structure of the state and that the health services cannot take a hit because of government’s negligence.

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to get specific with the names, as TAS2R38 is associated with dietary variety other called CA6 that puts a child out of control during mealtimes.

This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole

As of now, we have had heard much about the physical problems caused by the pollution but no one really knows what wrong it is doing to the brains. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to enlighten the people about memory loss. Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic.
