Mosquito
bites the economy
A complete failure of governance ensures that malaria
bleeds the country every single year
A
study by a Delhi-based think-tank, Liberty Institute, suggests
that malaria is draining the economy by as much as Rs 1,692
crore a year. Never mind that the country hasn’t seen
the monsoon in its full fury this year. That’s not
going to take the sting out of the anopheles mosquito, as
its dreaded bite injects the malaria parasite into bloodstreams
across the country. The first reports of malarial deaths
have already started trickling in. The deaths in themselves
are tragic since it is now 50 years since India declared
war on malaria.

Spot
the rainbow in the rainless sky
by Barun Mitra and Sutanu Guru
Free trade and access to latest technologies are the twin
weapons by which any society can defeat meteorological droughts,
and break the linkage between shortfall in rainfall and
agricultural production, or between drought and famine.
We should seize this crisis to turn around Indian agriculture.
We need reforms that lead to an increase in productivity
and a sustained movement of people away from being dependent
on agriculture so that they are insulated from effects droughts.
If the current drought pushes us in this direction, the
dry spell may yet be remembered for the bounty it brought.
