SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Govt must give ASHAs, Anganwadi volunteers rights COVID-19 has given visibility to Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) and Anganwadi workers — women “volunteers” attached to a government scheme or employed on a mission mode — who are frontline warriors in the battle against the pandemic. In India, there are about a lakh ASHA workers, 1.3 million Anganwadi workers and another 1.2 million Anganwadi helpers, of them women. As the response to the pandemic required localised approaches, services of community workers became useful, given their robust contacts at the grass roots. During the lockdown, when there was uncertainty and fear of the virus, these women became the connecting link between the community and the state machinery.However, these community worker-volunteers are a perfect example of how the state devalues women’s work, especially the labour of those involved in care work. The stereotype that persists of women’s ability and their inbuilt consciousness to understand other fellow beings’ feelings, especially other women, makes them perfectly suitable to be recruited as community workers. This explains the presence of a large number of women in community-based programmes across the world. But, in India, there is a refusal to recognise this “all women workforce” as workers providing labour. They are classified as “honorary workers”, denied minimum wages, leave and other conditions that work entails. Sugar-coated in the superior value-domain of women as the embodiment of care service providers, the state prefers to call them “volunteers”. The assumption that women’s care and emotional labour is outside the mundane world of markets is often evoked to pay these overworked workers just an honorarium. But, even in the best paid states, this honorarium is not even close to the government-mandated minimum wages offered to workers doing comparable jobs. Many petitions have been submitted by community workers and their unions demanding recognition as workers. During the pandemic, Anganwadi, ASHA and National Health Mission workers had a two-day nationwide strike demanding safety, insurance, risk allowance and fixed wages. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour also recommended formalising the work of community workers. But the government has not relented. The contributions of these women workers have been taken for granted by the community, an outcome of the social understanding of women’s labour and its invisible status. The one positive aspect of their work is that the society recognises them as a part of the state machinery. This enables many women to negotiate patriarchal restrictions and norms of mobility. However, mobility of women workers is often a contested terrain and gets defined and controlled as per social norms.Now that the pandemic is moving to the next stage with the coming of the vaccine, these volunteers will be the first to be forgotten both by the state and society at large. From the glorified position of corona warriors, they will slowly retreat to their old unrecognised identity and sphere of neglect.It is high time that the state recognises the contributions of these women and accept them as workers. This could help in resolving the larger issue of devaluation of women’s work and their secondary status as workers. The exclusionary tendencies of the labour market, rooted in the social understanding of women’s work, where the state is an active participant has not only restricted women’s employment prospects, but has also created silos of women’s employment such as paid domestic work. The declining women’s workforce participation has been a matter of concern even before COVID. Wages and conditions of work of women care workers are matters of concern and the state apathy to recognise the growing sectors of women’s employment such as domestic work has a long history.With all field reports and CMIE data pointing to a deeper crisis in female employment during the pandemic, state intervention is much needed. The recognition of ASHA and Anganwadi volunteers as workers, even if it is contractual, will thus not only be a tribute to their contribution during the pandemic, but also an opportunity to shake the structural understanding of women’s labour and their status in the labour market. Recognition of care work in the public sphere could also help in unsettling the gendered and unequal division of house work and unpaid care burden.This article first appeared in the print edition on January 12, 2021, under the title “Pride and prejudice”.

plans to start helpline for reporting death of birds : NDMC Agency News: New Delhi Amid the scare of bird flu, North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) public health inspectors have requested restaurants not to sell roasted chicken.At a meeting with senior officers of the municipal corporation over bird flu, NDMC Mayor Jai Prakash announced that they will form monitoring committees in livestock markets to prevent bird flu.He said, “We will form monitoring committees in all six zones
in North Delhi and also set up monitoring committees in livestock markets.” Mayor further said that “We are going to instruct ward public health inspectors to visit restaurants selling roasted chicken and request them not to sell it until the problem of bird flu is over in Delhi.” As the bird flu cases were detected across ten states in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said poultry farms, zoos, water bodies will have to be constantly monitored to contain the disease.Modi

scheduled in the bankruptcy case for Wednesday.“As to the urgency of this application, I remain puzzled,” the judge noted, as he raised questions about updated evidence on full disclosure of assets at Mallya’s disposal, including jewellery and a “fine suite” of highvalue luxury cars that were listed as being owned by him.

He also pointed to a hearing in the matter already being scheduled for later this month on January 22.Meanwhile, the case will come up for an appeal hearing on Wednesday at which Mallya’s counsel will seek to dismiss the bankruptcy petition order.

West bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday claimed that India was staring at a food crisis because of the BJP’s “adamant” approach towards three new farm laws that thousands of farmers camped on the Delhi border are protesting. Banerjee demanded the immediate repeal of the laws. “The country is staring at a food crisis. If the BJP continues to remain adamant on the farm laws, there will be a food shortage in our country. The farmers are assets of our
country and we should not do anything that goes against their interest,” the Trinamool Congress chairperson said at a rally in Ranaghat in Nadia district. Banerjee termed the BJP a “junk party” that is “filling up its rank and file with corrupt and rotten leaders from other parties”.
As the D-day of January 16 draws nearer, one is reminded of the fact that only ten years ago, we declared India poliofree.

Shriram said.Referring to the successful PM-KISAN scheme under which Rs 6,000 is paid annually directly into farmers bank accounts, he said the DBT mechanism should be finetuned and gradually should be utilized to support farmers in lieu of other subsidies.“Let the farmer decide how to judicially use the money. With the benefit of DBT, farmers can then buy better seed, use newage fertilizers, optimize water usage and so on,” Shriram said.Stating that many Indian startups have invested in the agri-technology space, he
advocated for a policy that encourages growth of these companies and adoption of latest techniques.He said there has not been any significant breakthrough in recent years from indigenous agricultural research and development (R&D) and this could be partly on account of resource crunch.“Two areas that need immediate attention are firstly linking agricultural research with industry requirements and secondly avoiding ideological resistance to new-age technologies such GM crops,” Shriram said.

lessons of that successful polio drive have been well learnt. It is also what has given confidence to our health administrators about the success of the corona vaccination drive, billed as the world’ largest inoculation programme’.In the antipolio campaign, nearly 173 million children were given polio drops, after 2.3 million vaccinators went to more than 200 million homes. In the 1980s, when the vaccination was still a work in progress, polio claimed 200,000 of our children annually.India has had a wide primary health care system under the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP), reaching out to 27 million children and

Most of us would be very wary of lowering standards to fast-track a vaccine : Nobel Laureate Agency News: Ahmedabad Urging India to invest more in science to emerge as a knowledge-based economy, Nobel Laureate Venkatraman Ramak-rishnan on Monday mentioned about being wary of “lowering standards to fasttrack a vaccine”.An Indian-born British-American structural biologist who shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Thomas A Steitz and Ada Yonath “for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome”, Ramakrishnan, popular as Venki, was interacting virtually with academicians and researchers of the Ahmedabad University Monday. The session was moderated by Patrick French, the university’s dean of the school of arts and
sciences.To a question from The Indian Express on clinical trials and Indian policymakers’ move such as the restricted emergency use clearance given to Bharat Biotech-ICMR vaccine candidate, Covaxin, Ramakrishnan said, “Most of us would be very wary of lowering standards to fast-track a vaccine.”He added that a vaccine must not be used until data is produced.“For vaccines that haven’t undergone clinical trials, they must be producing data first. That is my view, that is a scientist’s view. But politicians have to act, it is up to the governments ultimately,” he added.“India needs to invest much more in science. My feeling is, the Indian government is not doing enough but Indian industries are doing even
less… This needs to improve if India wants to compete in the 21st century. Days of cheap labour will disappear owing to automation. India has to become a knowledge-based economy. So, would urge India to stop these stupid internal
squabbles,” Ramakrishnan said. An alumnus of MSU Vadodara, Ramakrishnan said, “One thing that is different from when I was growing up in India and now, is that, earlier universities were often fairly good in science. They had at least one or two
professors in each department doing reasonably good work. Over the next two or three decades, the focus shifted from the universities to the central institutes (such as Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER)) and that decoupled education from research, which the government is trying to reverse now… You cannot raise the average unless you have more money to improve the average. And that cannot come from the government alone… I think private institutions have a role to play.” Referring to the politics-science debate, he said, it is up to the government to decide which disease it has to
tackle on priority. “But after deciding the large priorities, it should then be left up to the scientists on how to implement those priorities. For example, (US president) Richard Nixon started a war on cancer but he cannot tell scientists that he wants them to tackle cancer with some particular drugs…,” he said. Ramakrishnan said the coronavirus mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine has shown that the “(mRNA) technology is impressive”, especially given that it has shown to be effective against mutated versions of the virus. He said there was great “potential” in the technology to address other ailments as well, but added that some areas required to be looked into and addressed with respect to mRNA vaccines.
