Sense of insecurity and fear engulf Kathan
Taba Ajum
KATHAN, May 24: The fear in eyes and sense of insecurity while living in their own land has to be seen to believe.
Outnumbered by the refugees, people of Kathan village in Lohit, live in constant fear and worst of all is the fact that they don’t have any one to bail them out.
The most provocative incident that took place recently in Kathan village was burning down of indigenous sacred place by them and establishment of new Chakma village instead.
As if that was not enough, all these days Chakmas had gone out of their way to tell the world that they are being victimized by local citizen of Arunachal.
But ground situation is quite different, it is Chakma refugees that are terrorizing indigenous Mishmi tribe.
Even as the state battles to deal with Chakma-
Balijan Krisikro, ASM Chairperson, Wakro Block, said, “We had requested Chakmas many times not to damage our sacred place. But without heeding to our request they destroyed whole forest reserve area including the indigenous sacred place.” He added, “We appeal to the state government to come and save us from harassment by Chakma.
They are violating all laws and destroying reserve forest area which is the assets of state.”
Situation is deteriorating rapidly with Chakma’s disrespecting the law of this country. This attitude of Chakma has stunned both local resident and civil administrators too.
Taking note of this grim situation, AAPSU spokesperson cum chairman of Chakma-
“Chakmas are challenging rule of this state by destroying reserve forest area and
illegally encroaching land of tribal people. Government should immediately intervene
and help local people,” says Tobom. AAPSU Vice President (protocol) cum Chakma –Hajong

The local resident of Kathan area is so terrorized that they are now pinning their hope on government of Arunachal to bail them out from this pain and sadness.
All Mishmi Students Union president Ajan Pul said that government should immediately retrieve the lands of the Mishmis usurped by the Chakma refugees. They threatened to call a massive protest if the government do not heed to the demands of the indigenous citizens.

Arunachal police arrests suspected Chinese spy
Itanagar, May 24: A Chinese youth, suspected to be a spy, was apprehended from Digaru
ghat in Sunpura sub-
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Lohit, Manik Gogoi told UNI that the youth was arrested while on way to Sunpura after crossing the Digaru River.
He was planning to catch a train from Sadiya to other parts of the country.
Guan Liang alias Gevin, who hails from Zhuma Diang village in Luohe city under Henan district of China, sneaked into Arunachal through Kibithoo in Anjaw district after crossing Tibet on foot.
It took around 70 days for the suspect to travel from China to Arunachal.
On interrogation, the youth disclosed that he left China on February 16 last and
went to Tibet before entering India as Chinese police was searching him on charges
of making anti-
A case has been registered at Sonpura police station and joint interrogation was being carried out by central SIB, SB and Army intelligence.
''He is fluent in English and Chinese besides being well versed in French,'' Gogoi said adding, the boy was undergoing graduation and was a good musician.
''Though we have not recovered any arms or objectionable documents from his possession, his attitude and way of conversation has cast doubt on him to be a spy,'' the DSP added. Liang, before leaving China, was working as a manager in a French restaurant in Beijing and also performing as a singer there, the DSP informed.
His songs with revolutionary blend and an email sent by him to Sanghai government describing atrocities and human rights violation by Chinese government invited ire from the latter who later ordered his arrest.
''Wife of the restaurant’s proprietor, who was a Chinese lady, asked Liang to have the country and later he came to his village but on advice of his father, fled from there too.
He travelled towards Tibet by bus and train, but had to leave the idea as police was on his trail and later decided to travel by foot through mountainous region to avoid arrest,'' Gogoi said.
From Kibithoo, the youth reached Tezu and came to Digaru Ghat and spent the night in a cooperative godwon. In the morning, when people saw him, they alarmed the police, who swung into action and arrested him.
''He is in police remand for eight days and we may extend it to fifteen days, if necessary to peel out the beans,'' the DSP added.

ANINI, May 24: Deputy Commissioner, Tayor Jempen has expressed his deep gratitude to the first lady, Anupama Singh, who heads the Muskan Welfare Society for dispatching a consignment of medicines to the disaster stricken people of Dibang Valley.
Jempen in his acknowledgement letter said in such juncture of natural calamity, the MWS had realised the pain and sufferings of the people, who provided 60 (Sixty) categories of life saving medicines to the District Medical Department through the District Administration.
Terming it as commendable act, DC informed that the fury of nature caused havoc and crumbled the district by disconnecting the entire district from the rest of the state since last two months. With the washing out of Amboli bailey bridges over Dri river has brought human movement as well as ferrying of essential commodities to a total halt, Jempen said adding that it culminated in a chronic shortage of all kinds of essential items.

On the other hand, Adi Students’ Union (AdiSU), Rajiv Gandhi University has called on the government not to impose the Lower Siang project on the people of the area. It said that when the people are not willing for the project, government should not impose it on them.
It further termed the proposed public hearing scheduled for May 30, 31 and June 1 at Pesing, Pangin and jeying respectively as illegitimate and unconstitutional as it violates the “Environmental Impact Assessment” (EIA), 2006 notification. The project further has no mandatory clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Govt. of India, it said. The Project developer Jaypee should apply for fresh process under EIA notification for a revised project since the project is elevated from 2025 to 2700 MW, it said.
Zila chairperson demands action to mitigate problems of Diang Valley
ITANAGAR, May 24: The flood affected areas of Dibang Valley district, especially Etalin, Maliney and Arzoo are battling acute shortage of essential commodities due to disruption in road communication since last month.
Essential commodities like rice, kerosene, salt and other edible items were in short supply for the last one month causing hardships to the people, Empi Meya, Chairperson Dibang Valley Zilla Parishad, in a memorandum to the chief minister, said. He urged the chief minister to instruct department concerned to take immediate step to airdrop ration items at Etalin and Arzoo circle headquarters once in a week to mitigate sufferings of the people thereby bringing normalcy to the area.

So far four to five people are reported to have died after the flood, the memorandum
claimed. But non-
The memorandum, meanwhile, expressed resentment over absenteeism of officers and officials posted at district headquarter and also over their applications seeking leave on flimsy ground since the flood occurred.
Let’s nurture the seed of unity
Dear Editor,
Apropos your news item captioned, "Organization launches scathing attack on MLAs", I would like to put up my personal view that corruption in many forms exists everywhere, whether it is the workplace, the assembly house, the government office, the shopping malls. Forming associations with the only motive to curtail and curb corruptions by any group of professionals (in this case, the Nyishi MLAs) is an honest step, but the fact remains to be taken into account that when these good Samaritans in the garb of humble associations of few members try committing the same mistakes of intimidations and corruptions, who on this earth is there to counter them, check them and streamline them? Formations of unions, associations, forums are fundamentally approved only when the motive is known to be humanitarian, social. Nobody has the right to bargain either to form an organisation or not to form.
The ANSU and the NES are known organisations, committed to do justice and bring to the end the disparity that exists in the Nyishi society. ANSU is a students' forum and the NES, better known as the apex social forum, limits its activities to social reformations with all sense of maturity, socially, politically, educationally and above all economically.
So, NES and ANSU have been thought to be the only organisations by the Nyishi community till the hiccup spills over in the recent times over the formations of a dozen Nyishi centric organistions. These are but serious developments and may, in the long run prove stumbling blocks for the community development. Infightings based on numerous issued amongst these organisations are eminent, but who are instigating for the present confrontations amongst the brethrens is to be ascertained and punished.
Last but not the least, I reminisce the past of unity and oneness among the Nyishi people whether the one is from East Kameng, Upper Subansiri, Lower Subansiri, Kurung Kumey, Papum Pare or elsewhere. Good things are created to be adopted and not to throw away like a hot potato, as are being shown today. So many fertile seeds have been sown by the NES and ANSU and these seeds are being dampened on the instigations of outer forces for selfish motives.
Yours

Public private partnership in health care services in India
Dr D Padung
State Nodal Officer (NRHM)
Background
Partnership with the private sector has emerged as a new avenue of reforms, in part due to growing realization that, given their respective strengths and weaknesses, neither the public sector nor the private sector alone can operate in the best interest of the health system. There is also a growing belief that public and private sectors in health can potentially gain from one another. Involvement of the private sector is, in part, linked to the wider belief that public sector bureaucracies are inefficient and unresponsive and that market mechanisms will promote efficiency and ensure cost effective, good quality services. Another perspective on this debate is linked to the notion that the public sector must reorient its dual role of financing and provision of services because of its increasing inability on both fronts. Under partnerships, public and private sectors can play innovative roles in financing and providing health care services.
Collaborating with the private sector and fostering a partnership for providing health
services to the underserved sections of the population are particularly critical
in the Indian context. Due to the deficiencies in the public sector health systems,
the poor in India are forced to seek services from the private sector, often borrowing
to pay for them. India has one of the world s highest levels of private out-
The inequities in the health system are further aggravated by the fact that public
spending on health has remained stagnant at around one percent of GDP (0.9%) compared
to the global average of 5.5%. Yet even the public subsidy on health does not automatically
benefit the poor. The poorest quintile of the population uses only one-
Private Sector in India
At independence, the private sector in India had only eight percent of health care facilities but recent estimates indicate that 93% of all hospitals, 64% of beds, 85% of doctors, 80% of outpatients and 57% of inpatients are in the private sector (World Bank 2001). Given the overwhelming presence of the private sector in health, various state governments in India have been exploring the option of involving the private sector and creating partnerships with it in order to meet the growing health care needs of the population.
The public and private sectors can potentially gain from one another in the form of resources, technology, knowledge and skills, management practices, cost efficiency and even a make over of their respective images. Partnerships are expected to ameliorate the resource constraints of the public sector by reducing investments in expensive tertiary care services.
What is Public Private Partnership?
Three fundamental themes constitute the definition. First, a relative sense of equality between the partners; second, there is mutual commitment to agreed objectives; and third, there is mutual benefit for the stakeholders involved in the partnership.
Partnership is therefore a collaborative effort and reciprocal relationship between
two or more parties with clear terms and conditions, clearly defined partnership
structures, and specified performance indicators for delivery of a set of health
services in a stipulated time period. In other words, the core elements of a viable
partnership are beneficence (joint gains), autonomy (of each partner), joint-
Challenges in Partnership
The health system as a whole has common objectives of equity, efficiency, quality and accessibility, but may interpret the contents of these objectives differently. Generally, the motive of the government is to provide health services to all at minimum cost or free; it develops policies and programs to provide equity of access to such services.
Not-
Characteristics of Partnership
Despite differences, the public and private sectors constantly interact with one another. Partnerships are more useful when the net benefits of partnership exceed those of independent activities, and when the joint effort results in more efficient or effective services than independent action.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare presupposes that partnerships could help
in ameliorating the problem of poor health services delivery at two levels: to improve
delivery mechanisms and to increase mobilization of resources for health care. Other
presumed benefits of partnerships are improvements in quality of services, reduced
cost of care either due to competition or through economies of scale, redirecting
the public resources to other areas, reduction in the duplication of services, adoption
of best practices, targeted services to the poor and better self-
It is often observed that partnerships are formed between organizations but succeed because of individuals who are strong leaders and who champion the partnership projects with vision, energy and enthusiasm. It is important to emphasize that partnerships are no substitute for good governance and that partnership requires governmental leadership. There is a danger that, wherever governance is weak, partnerships could be projected as an automatic choice rather than improving governance. Partnerships work typically with one providing the financing and the other providing the services.
The enabling conditions for the success of a partnership:
• A clear understanding between the partners about mutual benefits
• A clear understanding of the responsibilities and obligations between the partners
• Strong community support
• Need for some catalyst to start the process of partnership
• Stability of the political (government) and legal climate (laws)
• Regulatory framework that is followed and enforced
• Capacity and expertise in designing and managing contracts (partnership)
• Appropriate organizational and management systems for partnerships
• Strong management information system
• Clarity on incentives and penalties
In many countries, legal and political considerations create obstacles for any partnership with the private commercial sector. Partnership with the private sector could be misconstrued as an attempt at privatization. Such fears about the private sector may have emerged from the perceived social image of the private sector as exploitative and having ulterior motives.
Contracting
Contracting is one of the dominant tools for engaging the private sector in health sector reforms across all types of public health systems throughout the world. Under contracting, the financing and provision (delivery) of health services are clearly delineated between the provider and the purchaser. The private providers receive a grant or budget amount from the government for delivering certain services that the latter used to deliver itself. The relationship between the government and the private sector is specified in a written agreement. There are several stages in a contracting process viz., a) decision to contract and the services to contract, b) tendering and selection of the contractor, c) contract design, d) implementation, e) monitoring the performance, and g) evaluating the implications of contract on the public health system. Other critical issues relate to the objectives and scope of the services to be delivered, costing of the services, performance specifications including quality and expected health outcomes, payment for the services, supervision, access or special privileges to the poor and target population, and the relative capacity of the partners in managing the partnership contract.
Equity and Accessibility
Partnership with the private sector presupposes that equity; accessibility and quality of care would be ensured to the targeted beneficiaries, i.e. the poor and deprived sections of the population.
Resource implications
One of the critical issues in PPP throughout the world is the timely release of grants or reimbursements to the private partner. At the core of this issue are the procedural requirements to get funds released. In some states the release of funds is timely whereas there are inordinate delays in others. The entire issue of timely release of payment appears to be a sensitive one, and the private partners underplayed their difficulties.
Autonomy
One of the cornerstones of partnership is the relative autonomy enjoyed by both the
partners on day-
Quality of services
One of the major gaps in partnership agreements has been a lack of specific conditions related to the quality of services to be delivered to the beneficiaries. In most of the projects, the importance of delivering quality services is stated, but not in specific terms. Although most partnership projects concern primary health care services, specific quality parameters have not been taken into account.
Risk-
Another critical issue in PPP is the risk vulnerability of the partners. Perception
of risk depends on two factors like the rule-
At the operational level, the risks for both the partners are on many dimensions.
There are financial risks, performance and accountability risks, risk of confrontation
between stakeholders and reputational risks for the private sector. Coordination
between the stakeholders is another area of potential conflict. Differences in personalities
and their respective styles could jeopardize the functioning of the partnership.
Another notion of risk is whether the partnership is based on rule-
Stakeholder Perspectives
Beneficiaries in all the partnership project sites viewed the services received by them in a positive manner, though often they are not aware of any partnership. In general, feedback from the beneficiaries has been that the services are better now than in the past.
Summary and Conclusion
Several researches suggests that states that experimented with partnership ideas before formalizing a policy seem to be more successful compared to those that promulgated a formal policy without experimentation. Policy pronouncements by government alone are not sufficient for PPP to succeed. Visionary leadership, social entrepreneurship and relationships based on trust between the stakeholders are equally important for successful partnerships.
Some of the most successful partnerships have been with private non-
Designing partnership (contract) agreements requires sufficient capacity-
Policy innovations such as PPP are, of course, highly contextual. Partnership with the private sector is not a substitute for the provision of health services by the public sector. Also, PPP initiatives cannot be uniform across all the regions or suitable under all kinds of political and administrative dispensations. It is important to understand not only what services are to be provided under PPP but also to understand the basis on which such decisions are made.
Any policy initiatives to strengthen the flagging public sector health services would be welcome. But a government that fails to deliver quality social services due to lack of basic administrative capacity would not be able to contract services. The first step must be to improve basic administrative systems.
