Gender disparities
The latest UNICEF report, Boys and Girls in the Life Cycle indicate that important gender imbalances exist in the population structure in some countries, particularly in parts of Asia, resulting in a higher deficit of girls than normal.
Among the surviving children, available data suggest that in early childhood, gender disparities are relatively small among the indicators examined such as education, health, nutrition and protection. However, gender disparities become more evident as children approach adolescence.
In most populations, female infants (under 1 year old) have lower mortality than male infants, because of certain biological and genetic advantages. This advantage may also exist beyond infancy, although at some point during early childhood, environmental and behavioural factors begin to exert a greater influence.
Measles immunization coverage is similar among boys and girls across all regions, except in South Asia. The likelihood of being stunted is similar for boys and girls in India across wealth quintiles, even as total levels vary. Most countries have reached gender parity in primary education; girls remain disadvantaged in some countries in Africa and Asia.
A comparison of nine Asian countries shows that gender parity has been achieved in the richest wealth quintile for most countries. However, the gap in attendance between boys and girls varies greatly across countries for the poorest children.
As far as secondary school education is concerned, girls are most disadvantaged in South Asia and boys are most disadvantaged in Latin America and the Caribbean.
An open letter to the MP
Dear Editor,
As a state which just completed 25th years of its statehood, we have entered another historic phase which can completely alter existence as multi ethnic tribal state. Before the existing, “TOI & Pradip Thakur incident snowballs into a major and avoidable political and communal tornado as many fear, at the cost of much needed development; every resources and possible positive channels must be exercised.
It is an irony that incidentally we have a common representative which has been elected by the 33 different constituency of our state representing the aggrieved community (Nyishi) and others as well; your stoic silence on the issue has hurt every one’s sentiment. I believe, as you had the privilege to be an APPSU & ANSU president early in your career and also the fact that you represent the entire state and suitably placed in Delhi gives you the responsible and an important position to negotiate peace. Unfortunately, we have seen no initiative except for a feeble attempt through a press release in early May.
Is it a deliberate ploy; if it is; you have failed the entire electorate of our state, if it is not, do enlighten us about your intention. How can you be a mere spectator to an issue which is seriously threatening the political and the communal Harmony of the state as many fear? Is it not your moral responsibility to atleast attempt and discuss and to be the bridge ?
It is now an open secret that half of our Congress representative has been camping in Delhi for the past few months as a result of internal differences. Is not your responsibility as a senior party leader to diffuse the differences and reconcile the alleged two faction rather than stroking the fire and playing partition politics for your selfish and ulterior motive?
I wonder, whether our previous MP would have reacted in the same way. Has, we, the electorate committed a blunder? The common mass await your answer, preferably in action rather the words, which you are known for. Rumours are flying thick and fast, mischief mongers are having a field day. Positive and harmonious actions are desired.
We look to you as our representative for mediation, for initiative or at least a sincere attempt to break the ice in this imbroglio.
Yours,
Balo Raja

Give us a chance to live honourably
Dear Editor,
In a democratic country formation of organization and associations are enshrined
in Constitution of India with certain restrictions as a fundamental right but formation
of so many associations taking the word Nysihi these days is a talking point for
every household in the state. This mushrooming of societies/organizations in the
Nyishi Community is a shameful development for the genuine and self-
The vested interest and money-
Why so many social organizations are coming up when political circle of the state is rumbling for the reason best known to them? Why not some other time? Why so many law and order problem in Capital Complex these days and why all issues are directly or indirectly connected to the state politics. So, all the social sellers of the Nyishi society are appealed to dissolve the organization which does not have the mandate to serve the society at the earliest and let us live a respectable and dignified individual Nyishi instead of becoming a laughing stock. Give us a chance to live honourably and respectfully before the world and do not make us a joker by forming so many society.
Having said so, ours is a under-
I also appeal to the brethrens of the communities of the state not to give exaggerated misinformation campaign to malign Nyishi community as a whole for the misdeeds of few Nyishi individuals. Such wrong doers exist in every society. One should appreciate the problem of other community and support the cause if any injustice is done to the community. Common Arunachalee should not be divided by our highly communal political leaders and bureaucrats for their vested interest rather we should fight against those elements unitedly for a pan Arunachal.
Yours,
Likha Kan
The reason why there are many associations
Dear Editor,
I would like to focus on reason behind the formation of organization in the state. We can't stop the "Bandh Culture" until and unless the formation of new association and union is not stopped immediately in the state. As far as the formation of association in all Districts of state are concerned, both government and privilege groups are equally responsible for growing of associations in state.
On the part of government I strongly believe that the state govt. is indirectly and directly more or less responsible for the formation of association whether it is communal and student’s based organization in Arunachal Pradesh. The most important reason for the growth of association and many unions are basically due to the uneven distribution of fruits of development in the terms of transportation and infrastructure development and other benefit from the state govt.
Yes I do agree that our state is a poor state so, we have to depend upon the centre for financial assistance, I also agree with the leader of various political parties and expert's that we don't have technology, beside our people don't know how to increase their own per capita income. Tribal are only depended on Non tribal even in small business set ups. Plus our leaders those who are in power don't have an idea to make that state of Arunachal Pradesh as the richest state in the north Eastern part of India like Gujarat in west. Instead they are busy in earning and making Crore of rupees for their kit and kin by receiving huge amount of money from the central government in the name of more than 13, 82, 611 populations of Arunachal Pradesh. In addition to this, there is MLA and MP LAD funds meant for development of constituencies. It is seems to be true that never ever in the history of Arunachal it has been used judiciously for the development of concern constituency. Instead they use it for construction of private houses and use it to purchase Voters during the election times. As a result we poor educated and unemployed youth become victims of frustration and stress which lead to the formation of new associations in different communities of state.
As per district -
On the other hand, emergence of the privilege status and economic class in the tribal communities has found that tribal groups are losing their erstwhile Egalitarian character day by day. These economic class and privilege groups emerged due to political power, trade and commerce and contract work. So such tendencies has been drawing protest from the students and local poor public which are leading to the formation of many Associations in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. It is true that educated youth and students in the Arunachal are quick to learn the benefit of a formal forum for the pursuits of their their private and public interests. They use the community and area as a resource to pressurize the authorities for political and economic favours. As for best Example, much association has been forming within Nishyi Community just before and after the "Pradeep Thakur Issue" which rocked the state recently. Plus many associations are forming like virus for their vested interest and personal benefits.
Thus the privilege groups are more responsible for formation of the association in state.
Thirdly, due to low quality of education and dominance of prosperous groups in politics and trade which has made the students restless about their own future. This in turn makes the students bodies more and more parochial.
I appeal to the present Government and privileged group not to encourage the formation of association if you want to stop "Bandh Culture" and if not stopped then I am also going to form a new association in days to come. I also appeal to young generation not to adopt the "Divide and Rule policy" otherwise our society is going to divide into many pieces. We need unity and integrity.
Yours,
Tang Dada

Heed to the request
Dear Editor,
Thank you for reporting on Miao-
The road is indeed a very neglected, not motorable for more than 30 years. It’s really the whole generation of people that have suffered. We can never express our feelings of isolation from modern facilities. No proper health facilities while education is a distance dream for many of our people.
I really hope that our government will work toward completion of the road as our Panchayat leaders have requested.
Yours,
Liahey, (on email)
