Solar catches dust
As a renewable energy expert I welcome some of the views expressed in the article, “India’s power mess” (May 1-15, 2013). There is no doubt that solar energy would be the future of energy, especially as a decentralised power source. The big question, however, is whether it is worthwhile for a developing country like India to go for solar power in a big way. Cheap and efficient equipment is the only way to make solar power production sustainable.

Issue Date: Feb 28, 2013
Despite protests by health activists, the Chhattisgarh government seems determined to take the private route for medical diagnostic services.
On January 31, people held protests in Raipur, demanding the government scrap the public-private partnership (PPP) for radiology and laboratory services. They say it will undermine the state’s public health system and make medical services expensive.

Impatient to sterilise
Issue Date: Jul 31, 2012
Young women, most in their 20s, lie on the floor like corpses at a community health centre (CHC) in Bikaner’s Kolayat block in Rajasthan. Flies hover over the bandages on the fresh wounds they received after undergoing operation for sterilisation. As they lie unconscious on a thin mat spread on the floor, relatives use cardboard pieces to fan themselves, and at times the patients. With temperature lingering close to 40°C, one cooler in the room is insufficient. Small children play with their slippers and feeding bottles and other belongings close to their mothers.
