Infants Deaths in Tribal
Districts of Odisha
(Exposed under RTI)
No substantial Improvement in reduction of infant deaths in tribal
districts of Odisha
Much claim of BJD Govt. about drastic
reduction of infant death
through implementation of series
of programme is false
and superfluous.
·
Over-all Infant
death has remained
stagnant in these tribal districts despite
implementation of plethora of
programme .
·
It
shows malnutrition and food insecurity
is still high and looms large in
these districts.
·
Huge pumping
of fund by Govt. has
not yielded expected results.
·
More
intervention is required to
reduce infant mortality in the state.
Dear friends
Since last
few years, the State Govt. has
given top priority
for reduction of infant
in Odisha by implementing
series of programme with investment
of huge money for
it. To understand progress of Govt. effort
in the field of
checking infant mortality
and result of huge investment, RTI Application was filed
to CDMOs of 10 tribal
districts in which child mortality rate
is very high. The PIOs of office of CDMOs of 5 districts have provided information in January, 2019.
Due to
my personal engagement in
other works, I could not put
this information in public domain.
The CDMOs of
Bolangir, Malkangiri, Kondhamal, Rayagada, Kalahandi have
not provided information.
Appeal procedure has been
followed to get the information which will be shared later
on. On 27.12.18., The information sought for
from office of Chief District Medical
Officers is as follows.
i. Provide information
about no. of infants died ( upto age of five years) in the
district ( year-wise)
ii. Provide name of the programme implemented to infant mortality in the district.
iii. Provide total fund utilized
to check
infant death in the district ( year-wise).
iv. Provide total fund spent for Nutrition
Rehabilitation centre ( NRC) ( year-wise)
The information provided by the
CDMOs of the 5
districts is as follows.
