India reported 1,109 deaths and more than 4,000 injuries in registered factories, on average, each year between 2017 and 2020. The largely informal economy and underreporting of incidents even in the formal economy mean these figures are huge underestimates, say experts.
Reservations were conceptualised as compensation for social discrimination, not economic deprivation, argues Deshpande, professor of Economics at Ashoka University, while discussing the apex court verdict.
Ecologist Debal Deb speaks about farmers’ autonomy, the importance of native seeds to material and food culture, and the government’s approach to sustainable agriculture.
ThE delay is impacting government schemes, and results in unreliable estimates from other surveys on consumption, health and employment, which depend on census data to determine policy and welfare measures. For example, probably 10 crore people are likely being excluded from the PDS.
The ban passed by the BJP-led government has upturned the lives of those in the beef trade.
Government departments’ apathy and lack of reliable data on manual scavengers is a hurdle to rehabilitation efforts, say stakeholders.
Caste prejudices and over-policing of certain communities are important factors behind the significant presence of marginalised groups in jails.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
