“Today, karate has become number one sport in Arunachal Pradesh not because it got enough support and help from the government but due to consistent efforts by few dedicated individuals,” he said.

Doctor-
Dr. Jego Ori
The rapid penetration of hospital industries in the health care market raises the
concern for doctors and the patient regarding its effects on doctor-
Patient interaction or taking history is the major medium of health care in the clinical set up. The main goal of interaction with the patient is to gather information, developing and maintaining therapeutic relationship, and communicating the information.
Mutual trust and respect among doctors and patient is important to maintain the doctor-
Effective use of time and relationship in the interaction gives a patient a sense that they have been heard and allowed to express their problem. Most of the time doctors get less time in outpatient and emergency unit especially in the Govt hospital where Patient’s are more and doctors get less time to interact with them satisfactorily and hence the patient gets dissatisfied with the treatment.
To improve the doctor-
Patient should provide a sense that they are important and respected. They should be given reasonable waiting time, personal comfort and easy availability of covering nurse and doctor whenever necessary.
A hospital should provide reminders, user friendly educational materials and must create atmosphere of care and concern in its premise.
The competition among doctors and hospitals and the advent of health care insurance etc often leads to exaggerated promises and less delivery of the care services.
The doctor-
Many a time, patients wonder whether doctors are caring for them or making money,
or their career. As long as primary care and safety of patients are not jeopardized,
the collection of professional fees and doing research etc on patient with their
consent will create great opportunity to develop strong doctor-
The highest standard protocol, practice of evidence based medicines and value judgement of the case are important and many a time it is influenced and diluted by the individual needs and preference of the doctor and the patient. Here the relationship may be endangered when doctors insist on particular guidelines and patients are not informed about it.
The efforts to cut costs of hospitals, to increase competitiveness or profit means
having doctors to be faster in seeing the patient. Here both doctor and patient feel
the sense of urgency and time pressure, less accurate and incomplete information.
The patient worries about miss-
There was a public outcry in the social media in the recent past about doctors endorsing particular company or laboratory for their personal cut practices. The drug and laboratory choice of doctors depend mainly on individual knowledge and evidence based performance of particular drug or laboratory. Many a time doctors get misled by a wrong report of substandard diagnostic centers which lead to unnecessary repetition of same test leading to financial burden to the patient and also endanger the trust between treating doctors and the patient. The doctors must talk and educate the patient why they are requesting certain test and inform about why certain diagnostic centers are the best. They must be informed about medical limitations and side effects, if any.
The doctors should enhance their knowledge, skills, updated on recent advances and
attitude with the aim to build a strong doctor-
The entry of Unions and social leaders in the scene often aggravate the situation
and damage the already vulnerable relationship between Patient and the attending
team of care givers. The single episode of unintentional error or event in the process
of care giving are often reflected in social media and news papers and the blame
goes to the whole doctors’ community and the particular hospital. The reputation
of concerned doctor and hospital are unreasonably affected and generate wrong public
opinion on doctors, resulting in poor doctor-
In the background of present state government giving priority to the health sector,
the doctor-
Hope this doctor’s day will bring a new height of a long lasting doctor-

Punish PWD and Capital administration
As the monsoon rain pours continuously, capital road are slowly vanishing. Gushing rain waters are washing away major portion of capital roads. NH 52A is bearing wrath of monsoon rain. At various locations between Banderdewa and Itanagar, roads have been badly damaged. Commuters often get stuck hours due to massive traffic jam caused by dilapidated road.
In some stretches, road are getting damaged due to earth cutting activities being carried out near the road side. Especially portion of road near Mithun gate, Naharlagun was washed away due to construction of building alongside the highway. Capital Administration turned blind eye to the roadside construction that had led to the damage of said stretch in 2011. No action has been initiated against the person for causing damage to national highway. It is also surprising, how PWD are miserably failing to repair the capital road. State government claims that there is no death of fund to maintain capital road. PWD is failing in implementation part. They are not able to pressurize the contractors to carry out quality works. Both PWD and capital administration should be punished for giving harassment to the citizens of capital complex.

Potholes and the road
Dear Editor
Through your daily, I would like to highlight the pathetic road condition of Pasighat Market place. The oldest town of Arunachal Pradesh still needs better road without the potholes.

Deplorable education scenario
Dear Editor,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to express the grievances faced by of schools and students of Siyum, Nacho, Limeking & Taksing (SINALITA) areas. Though there are around 38 Schools, comprising of Primary, I.V and Middle schools, including the Govt. Secondary, Nacho, but there are insufficient teachers in those schools. Some schools are running with 2 or 3 SSA teachers, some are without teacher and therefore, not functioning.
The lone secondary school, which is located in the Nacho Circle is running with 4 or 5 J/T or SSA teachers, who are also not regular in taking classes. Moreover, this single secondary school is still running without a principal or headmaster since its inception.
In addition to this, due to the non affiliation to CBSE, the students of this school have to write examination and do other formalities in the Higher Secondary School, Kodak and have to appear their half yearly and annual examinations there, which is more than 80 kms away from Nacho Circle. This creates difficulties for the students, especially the girl students. In some other schools in the area, we do not see more than 2 or 3 teachers in middle schools and only one teacher in primary and I.V. schools. Some schools are almost defunct in our areas due to the unavailability of teachers.
Therefore, due to such unfavourable educational scenario in the area, when some interested students go out to seek admission in district headquarter, students are directly denied, since they do not come under the jurisdiction of the schools in Daporijo. So, students of our areas are not getting admissions in any of the schools in our own district headquarter.
Getting admission in our own district headquarter is a mere dream and like climbing
the Mount Everest for the students of our areas. If this system of not giving admission
to non-
In addition to this, we also have to know how some of our teachers behave. Some teachers or in charges of our schools are permanently settled in Daporijo. They do not take classes for whole academic year. It is hard to believe that they even give admissions and issue certificates (TC or Mark sheet) to students from their house at Daprijo, instead of staying in their respective institutions. So, students have to go down to Daporijo by travelling 110 kms to take their admissions or take out certificates. The teachers only visit their respective schools during examination time to conduct the examinations. In such circumstances how can students be good in studies and why shall not they seek admission in the District Headquarter?
The funniest thing is that some students do not get stipend. The reason is “You would have gotten stipend if you had come yesterday”. I don’t know what do they with the stipend money of the students. But innocent students and their parents do not complain against them, because they are their own relatives in some way or the other.
It is because of such activities of the people that act as an impediment of the development of our areas, besides the corrupt practices of the politicians. Unless we change ourselves and our people, our areas will never develop. So under such situations, it is nearly impossible to produce students who can compete in today’s cut throat challenges of the globalised world.
Therefore, I highly appeal, though it may not be audible, to the concerned authorities to please look into the above grievances of the schools and students of our areas as soon as possible. I also appeal to the All Tagin Students’ Union and All Upper Subansiri District Students’ Union to reach out to our areas and extend their supportive hands in making our areas a corruption free and education friendly area. Lastly, I also appeal to the teachers not to react to these statements. I am not writing against all the teachers but against those teachers who indulge in unnecessary practices.

Pay compensation
Dear Editor,
This is regarding non payment of compensation amount in lieu of my land, paddy field
and commercial areas as well as rubber plantation scheme under Chief Minister Mission
Mode Project by the NH 229 trans-
Unless suitable amount is paid, the ongoing work may be stopped. There should not be any earth cutting nor use of explosives without authorisation.
I would like to add here that Rs 13 thousand was offered to me as compensation amount which is far lesser than the actual value of my land.
Yours,
