So much for changing scheme name and claiming to plug ALLLL leaks with aadhaar linking, biometric, geotagged photo, digital oversight etc etc etc Look at the ghosts that @tabassum_b found working under VB-G RAM G

In drought-hit Maharashtra, thousands working under VB-G RAM G scheme - on paper On ground, @tabassum_b found no workers at five sites in Beed. Those named on the muster roll were not aware of work orders issued against their names. Nor did they know where their wages were being credited. scroll.in/article/1096483/wh…

Why Modi government’s rural jobs scheme is a sham in drought-hit Maharashtra district

On paper, thousands are getting work under the scheme in Beed. But Scroll’s investigation found ghost workers, half-built roads and lakhs paid in wages.

At a time when Maharashtra is seeing its worst ever drought, thousands of farmers are forced to migrate to seek livelihood. We went to Beed where every village complained about lack of employment. This is strange because...

A welcome step towards transparency in healthcare billing. But transparency is not affordability, price is not quality, and issuing directives is not implementation. Patients need more than displayed rates. They deserve assured quality, appropriate care, itemised billing, effective grievance redressal and protection against unaffordable expenditure. The Clinical Establishments Act is not uniformly applicable across India. State-level enforcement remains crucial. From a UHC perspective, the real test is whether this measure improves financial protection under SDG 3.8.2 and reduces out-of-pocket expenditure. A useful administrative reform, certainly. But displaying the price of healthcare is not the same as ensuring access to healthcare. Let transparency be a step towards systemic reform, not mistaken for its achievement. #UHC #PatientRights #HealthcareQuality #FinancialProtection – at Delhi, India

In a push to make healthcare billing more transparent, the Centre has asked states and union territories to ensure that hospitals and other clinical establishments prominently display the rates they charge for services and facilities.   m.economictimes.com/industry…

Health ministry advises state health authorities to ensure "prominent display of rates for services & facilities" Not new Rule 9(i) of Clinical Establishments (Central Govt) Rules 2012--clinical establishments must show rates charged for services & facilities Just not implemented

Long working hours of doctors have reached dangerous levels with stress clearly reflecting in their lives. Something needs to be done urgently to save them from burnout and taking extreme steps. Disturbing to report the loss of yet another promising young life.

A free press cannot function under threat. The NWMI stands in solidarity with our journalist colleagues who faced aggressive behaviour by police personnel while carrying out their professional duties.

Three women journalists have complained of sexual harassment by police personnel in Delhi, when they were covering the protest to demand the resignation of Chief Election Committee Gyanesh Kumar. They have demanded that FIRs be registered against police personnel.
