About- Launch of MAA – Mothers Absolute Affection, a flagship programme to ensure adequate awareness is generated among masses, especially mothers, on the benefits of breastfeeding.

Why- Breastfeeding is the most natural, cost effective and significant intervention and should be promoted at all levels. This is an enormous resource that every child should have access to.

Agenda- To reduce the under-five mortality of children

MAA-Mother’s Absolute Affection-

  • Chief components of the MAA Programme are—
  • Community awareness generation
  • Strengthening inter personal communication through ASHA
  • Skilled support for breastfeeding at Delivery points in Public health facilities
  • Monitoring and Award/recognition
  • Programme will be monitored by UNICEF.

Importance-

‘FMD Mukt Bharat’

(Topic: Government schemes and policies)


Issue-

  • It can be much more if indirect losses due to reduced work capacity; abortions, subsequent infertility and sterility (that account for the reduced milk production subsequently) are taken into account.

FMD-CP-

  • In order to prevent economic losses due to Foot and Mouth Disease, a location specific programme called ‘Foot and Mouth Disease Control Programme (FMD-CP)’ is under implementation since 10th Plan Period.
  • Scope of the programme will be extended to cover remaining States in a phased manner so as to have geographically contiguous areas to yield desired results for the creation of FMD Free Zones depending upon availability of resources.
  • With robust implementation of FMD-CP in the States, disease occurrence has drastically been reduced particularly in FMD-CP States e.g. 879 FMD outbreaks were reported in 2012 throughout the country which have been reduced to 109 in 2015.
  • Looking at the economic importance of the control disease, the Department has conceived ‘FMD Mukt Bharat’

Steps to Rescue Power-loom Weavers from Financial Crisis

(Topic: Industrial development)

Issue- Power-looms in Malegaon, Bhiwandi, Ichalkaranji, Solapur, Surat, Varanasi, Erode, and other centres in the country are working at sub-optimal capacities due to high input costs and reduced off-take of fabrics. The low off-take has resulted in partial stoppage of power-looms in some clusters.

Main cause of reduction- On account of input costs and lower demand, there has been some impact on decentralized power-loom industry which has resulted in the reduction of operational shifts in some clusters.

Progress made- Proposed technology is still in research stage and is still not matured or demonstrated anywhere in the world.

 

Reduction in CO2 percentage-

  • Power generation from coal contributes to about 38% of CO2 pollution in the atmosphere.
  • 20% reduction in CO2 emission at source combined with 20% saving in coal consumption compared to a sub-critical plant and by about 11% compared to a supercritical plant are the primary reasons justifying this project.
  • Use of this technology in all future large power plants will ensure energy security for the country for a longer period, along with a greener environment.
