As we all know that there has been very high rate of economic growth of India in recent past, India is said to be now near its long cherished goal of ‘Super Power’. Since India is a Democratic Republic, one would expect even distribution of the wealth produced through ‘high rate of growth’ resulting in positive and qualitative improvement in the material, social, cultural and spiritual life of Peoples of India. Indian Academy of Social Sciences and University of Mysore, therefore, have resolved to focus deliberations of the XL Indian Social Science Congress on ‘Peoples Health And Quality of Life In India’. This brochure provides all its details. There is no subject of science which is not related to ‘Medical And Health Science’ and which does not contribute to the wellbeing of the people. Therefore, scientists, teachers and students of Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science, Biology/Life Science, Biotechnology, Agricultural Science, Ecology, Environmental Science, Engineering Science, Bio-Medical Engineering, Geography, Mathematical and Statistical Science, Economics, History, Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, Linguistics, Juridical Science, Political Science, Philosophy, Communication and Journalism, etc are cordially invited to present their seminal research works at the 40th Indian Social Science Congress. It is proposed to hold following two international symposia and several national symposia/seminars/workshops/colloquium during XL Indian Social Science Congress: 1 Reclaiming Science: Preventing and Reversing Genomicide 2. Science And The World Today A few Nobel Laureates and very eminent scientists from abroad are expected to address the XL Indian Social Science Congress. Sixth All India Young Scientists Convention will have very enriching sessions for young scientists. As the President of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences, I, therefore, invite you, your colleagues and your students to contribute substantive research papers and participate in the deliberations of XL Indian Social Science Congress. I would also request you to give it wider publicity within your University/College/Institute/ Laboratory and depute larger number of them to XL Indian Social Science Congress. We look forward for a very encouraging response and pleasant meeting With regards, Yours sincerely, (B.M. Hegde) President FOCAL THEME PEOPLES HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIA (December 19-23, 2016, Mysore University, Mysore 570 005 ) Prof. B.M. Hegde MD , PhD, FRCP (Lond, Edm, Glasg & Dublim) FACC, FAMAS Cardiologist & Former VC Manipal University Padma Bhushan Awardee 2010 President Tel: 09449442000 Email: hegdebm@gmail.com INDIAN ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Residence: Manjunath, Pais Hills, Bajai Mangalore 575 002 (Karnataka) XL 5 XL Indian Social Science Congress 5 6 XL Indian Social Science Congress 6 7 XL Indian Social Science Congress 7 XL INDIAN SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS 0100 INDIAN SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS Indian Academy of Social Sciences (ISSA) organizes Indian Social Science Congress (ISSC) every year with a view to discovering, developing and disseminating science of Nature-Humans-Society in concrete conditions of India in particular, and world in general, through critical appraisal and integration of current research and theory in all subjects of science taught and researched in Indian Universities, Colleges, IISERS, NISERS, IITs, NIITs, Engineering Colleges, Medical Colleges, Medical and Health Science Universities, IIMs, IIITs, AIIMS, PGIs, Research Institutes and national/regional laboratories. The phrase ‘Social Science’ connotes basic character of science as an objective knowledge of non-living and living objects/things produced through collective mental and physical labour. Science of Nature-Humans-Society is indivisible and without any boundary. The Indian Academy of Social Sciences in association with University of Mysore shall hold the 40th session of Indian Social Science Congress between December 19-23, 2016 at Mysuru. Since University of Mysore is celebrating its 100 years of glorious march toward discovering and disseminating science of Nature-Humans-Society, the 40th session of Indian Social Science Congress has a special meaning and significance to India and its people. 0200 FOCAL THEME ‘Peoples Health And Quality of Life In India’ is the focal theme of XL Indian Social Congress. Almost all subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science, Biology, Agriculture, Ecology, Engineering, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology etc,) contribute to what is known as Medical And Health Science. It is, therefore, proposed to have in-depth inquiry into the problems of peoples’ health and quality of life in post-independent India. Since Democratic Republic of India is said to have very high rate of economic growth, one can hypothesize good health and good quality of life of the People irrespective of their caste-class-creed-gender. One can also expect a very high quality of Medical and Health Science Education, research and medical and health care institutions providing free and easy access to all, rich and poor, both. Allied to these would be absence of under/mal-nourishment, suicides, murders, rapes, death or serious injuries in road/rail accidents All these and many more hypotheses form the major issues of investigation and deliberations during the 40th session of Indian Social Science Congress. A note on ‘Peoples Health And Quality of Life in India’ is given on pp 26-33. 0300 OBJECTIVES The deliberations on ‘Peoples Health And Quality of Life In India’ seek to achieve following objectives: 0301 To assess the interface of Medical and Health Science with other science subjects/disciplines of Science 0302. To determine the state-of-Art of Medical and Health Science in India and the relevance of the same to the health needs/problems of Peoples of India. 0303. To examine the nature of relationships/interconnections between indigenous traditional/indigenous Science of health and modern indigenous science of health. 0304. To appraise the changing National Health Policy vis-à-vis Peoples’ needs/problems of health. 0305.

The 38th session of the Indian Social Science Congress deliberated upon ‘Knowledge Systems, Scientific Temper and the Indian Peoples’ whereas ‘The Emerging Interfaces of Social Science and Public Policy in India’ was deliberated upon during the 39th Indian Social Science Congress. Medical and Health Science, it emerged, integrates scientific knowledge of all subjects/disciplines and peoples’ health as it covers all aspects of physical, chemical, biological, agricultural, economic, social and cultural development. It, therefore, is necessary to examine the connection between the scientific knowledge of all subjects/disciplines and the Medical and Health Science, on the one hand, and between the Medical and Health Science and Peoples health, on the other. The relationship between the Peoples Health and India’s economic, social and cultural development too needed in-depth examination. Democratic Republic of India started building edifice of Peoples health on the edifice of British created health System. It rooted its new Policy in the recommendations of Bhure Committee, which it set up in 1946. It made its commitment to the People of India in single phrase ‘Health For All’. It set up Indian Council of Medical Research, Medical Council of India, All India Institute of Medical Sciences and quite a large number of Medical Colleges and Medical or Health Science Universities. Special National and Regional Research Institutes under the auspices of ICMR and CSIR were established for seeking solution of problems like Malaria, Tuberculosis, Communicable diseases, leprosy, drugs etc. Emerging Science of Health led the Democratic Republic of India to establish National Institute of Nutrition, Family Planning/Welfare, National Institute of Medical and Neuro-Science, Central Food Technology Research Institute, CCMB, CDRI etc. ICDS was set up for ensuring health care of children between 0-6 years of age. Establishment of Young Medico Circle in 1970s saw sprouting of large number of NGO’s advocating Peoples health. By the end of 1980’s the Democratic Republic of India dropped ‘Health for All’ and opened the door for private players. Quite a large number of Private Medical Colleges, Universities, hospitals and nursing homes proliferated all over India. Recently the Government of India has launched A New Health Policy. India, it is often said, is a fastest developing economy in today’s world. Its high rate of economic development, it is said, has enabled it to be the member of G-8 and G-20 countries which are said to decide the pace and direction of development of other countries. Since India is a Democratic Republic and constitutionally a socialist country, theoretically, benefits of high rate of its economic development ought to be evenly distributed among the people of India. Even distribution of wealth across the whole population would mean zero level of economic disparity, absence of rich and poor class-divide. In real terms it will mean all Indians would be having good health and enjoying very high quality of material, social and cultural life. None will be either undernourished or malnourished. All are likely to have easy access to modern health care system and none would die uncared. Question to ponder is: Is it true? Following questions arise: I. What is the state-of-art of indigenous Scientific Knowledge vis-à-vis modern scientific Knowledge of Health? 27 XL Indian Social Science Congress 27 II. How is the indigenous scientific knowledge of health rooted in or linked with the indigenous traditional/ancient Science of health as discovered and developed in form of Ayurveda, Siddha and Yoga? III. How is the indigenous or non-indigenous scientific knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, agriculture science, economics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, environmental and ecological science, home science etc. related to Science of Medicine and Health? IV. What is the impact of science of health and medicine on Peoples Health? V. How is the health and quality of life of People of India? VI. What is the nature of health care Institutes and infrastructure? Do the people of India irrespective of their class, caste, creed and gender have easy and free access to health care Institutions? Is there a rural-urban divide? VII. How does drug industry influence Peoples Health? Is there any connection between market and medical and Health Science Institutions? VIII. How have researches in Plant and Herbal medicine been utilized for building indigenous knowledge-based health care system? IX. What is National Health Policy? How is it related to the health needs of People of India? Is the National Health Policy rooted in the Science of Health? What happened to ‘Health For All’? X. Are there problems of health of the people? What are they? How are the same resolved? Do the poor enjoy equally good and easy access to health care? XI. What needs to be done for improving/enriching peoples health? XII. What about the health and quality of life of the peoples of other countries? XIII. How has the Economic Development during last 70 years affected the quality of life and health of people of India? All these and many such questions need scientific investigation. Indian Academy of Social Sciences and Mysore University, therefore, have resolved to focus the deliberation of the 40th session of the Indian Social Science Congress on ‘Peoples’ Health And Quality of Life in India’. 0300 OBJECTIVES The proposed deliberations on ‘Peoples Health And Quality of Life of Peoples in India’ seek to achieve following objectives: 0301. To assess the interface of Medical and Health Science with other science subjects/disciplines 0302. To determined the state-of-Art of Medical and Health Science in India and the relevance of the same to the health needs/problems of People of India. 0303. To examine the nature of relationships/connections between indigenous traditional/indigenous Science of health and modern indigenous science of health. 0304. To appraise the changing National Health Policy vis-à-vis Peoples’ needs/problems of health. 0305. To examine the necessity, relevance, validity and accessibility of Health And Medical Care institutions to the People of India. 0306. To assess the nature of Health and Quality of Life of People of India. 0307. To study the impact of economic development during past 70 years on the Health and Quality of life of People of India. 0308. To determine relative advantages of Privatisation of Health Education and Health Care. 0309. To make a comparative study of health and quality of life of Peoples of Afro-Asian and Latin American countries in particular, and European and North American countries in general. 0310. To evolve a new theory and approach to Peoples Health and Health Science Education. 0311. Any other. 28 XL Indian Social Science Congress 28 0400 HEALTH SCIENCE Health Science is the result of integration of all scientific knowledge of Nature-Humans-Society. Summation and integration of science of Nature-Humans-Society makes Health Science very complex. One form of simplification is known as Medical Science which too remains complex? One possible answer is perhaps because all the attributes /constituents of Planet Earth and its surroundings constitute what is called human body or bodies of other living species. Creation and development of family, society and state adds to the complexity of existence and functioning of human bodies. Mind which was till the 19th century considered independent of body is another aspect of health. Now it is considered products of body and is greatly influenced by social conditions in which humans live. This is studied by modern scientific psychology. Thus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Agricultural Science, Home Science, Earth Science, Economics, Anthropology, Sociology, History, Psychology, Environment Science, Ecology etc put together provide us better understanding of health. Since Politics dominates all spheres of humans existence, Political Science does contribute to our understanding of political problems of health in today’s world. Health scientists often equate health with politics; ‘Health is Politics’. 0500 CONCEPT OF HEALTH One is healthy when one "demonstrates enthusiasm to work and enthusiasm to be compassionate." To know if one is healthy all that one has to make sure is that s/he has the aforementioned two qualities. This definition eliminates the need to regularly screen (check-up) human beings to go looking for a disease with a microscope, if you like, hunting for the occult diseases. The truth of the matter is that the body which has evolved from a single human cell, the zygote , into a large colony of such cells which individually is capable of living all by itself doing all that human beings can do. Studies have repeatedly shown that if you go for disease hunting (disease mongering) in the apparently healthy segment of people and try to interfere using drugs or surgery in asymptomatic stage there is no benefit. In fact, that might even result in collateral damage including premature death, rarely. The inner human healer will set things right in most, if not all, disease states. It is only in the unlikely event of the inner healer, the immune system, failing, does outside help might be required to "cure rarely, comfort mostly, but to console always." In the new systems biology there are basically two systems-closed systems and the open systems. Open system is where every deviation from the normal needs an outside intervention but in a closed system having its own inner regulator the abnormalities are being repaired or remodelled as and when needed by an inbuilt healer; in the human case the system consists of the immune system and the autonomic nervous systems. Modern western system treats the human body as an open system but Indian Ayurveda treats it as a closed system needing outside interventions very, very rarely. In short, outside intervention must only be an exception rather than a rule. The wrong systems knowledge in modern medicine has resulted in the significant iatrogenesis. We have almost reached a stage where in advanced industrialized countries the medical establishment today seems to be one of the leading causes of death primarily due to iatrogenic diseases and adverse drug reactions in Sushruta Samhita, the ancient Indian Ayurvedic text offers better definition of health. To quite: “The one who is established in the self and always full of bliss, whose doshaas are all balanced and whose Agni is regulated properly, whose bodily impurities are all excreted in the orderly fashion regularly, and his mind and senses are established in bliss-such an individual is truly a healthy person.” World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health ‘as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. 0600 HEALTH CARE IN INDIA Health care needs are very few. They are clean drinking water for all mankind, three square healthy meals uncontaminated by human and/or animal excreta, clean surroundings for dwelling, tranquility of mind, moderate exercise on a regular basis, sanitary facilities like toilets for every house, 29 XL Indian Social Science Congress 29 sewerage drainage, cooking smoke free houses, nutrition of the pregnant mother and the new born babies, mosquito nets for all, universal education, education of girls up to the age of at least 20 years to postpone marriage and consequent high fertility rates, judicious vaccination of children if their nutritional status is satisfactory and, not the least, economic empowerment \of village women. None of these is the concern of modern medicine. Health is our birthright. Our inbuilt immune system will keep us going as long as it could. In the unlikely event of it failing only should doctors intervene to “cure rarely, comfort mostly, but console always.” Modern medicine’s biggest curse has been “not letting the well alone.” Screening the healthy for early diseases and intervening has been the bane of modern medicine although it has been a boon to the industry-the medi-business. When one is healthy, he/she should never go to a hospital although one should see his/her doctor at the first sign of anything going astray with one’s body or mind. The greatest discovery of science in this century has been the discovery of man’s ignorance, which is at its best in the field of medical sciences. Doctors do not have anything to do with health care at all. We do medical care of trying to mend the broken glass with some glue that we think would make it work again. Based on this false foundation the WHO and many other governments believed that good medical care would bring about health for all by 2000 AD. Interestingly, in the same year the Institute of Medicine, an audit body of the American National Academy of Science, came out with its audit on the medical care in the US. The report, commented on by Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins University, did show that the present medical care in the US, supposed to be the best in the world, had in fact, been a curse on mankind. Drug side effects, hospital errors, hospital acquired infections, and medical interventions and over investigations have, together been the third leading cause of death after cancer, heart attacks. (JAMA 2000; 284: 483-485) “To believe that doctors and hospitals help keep people healthy is plain rubbish,” wrote one of the great British physicians. “How to avoid modern medicine” is the title of an article written by the Late Lord Platt in the early 60s. “More people make a living OFF hypertension than die OF it,” wrote Sir George Pickering, a former Regius Professor of medicine in Oxford, who also taught for sometime at the Johns Hopkins. He was a great hypertensinologist who had written that great monograph on hypertension. He also wrote that the anti-hypertensive drugs robbed the patient of all that is enshrined in the American Constitution (Thomas Jefferson 1772) of “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” Life, George said, we are not sure, liberty patients do not have, and happiness would be a thing of the past after they start anti-hypertensive treatment!” How true? Richard Asher, that great clinician, who spent four decades teaching medicine at the Central Middlesex Hospital, London, wrote, “Riva Roci would grieve indeed, if he were to look at the abuse and misuse of the little box that he invented to make life miserable for human beings.” Asher was talking about the ubiquitous BP apparatus! All this was long before the great scientific studies being shown to doctors in practice by the pharma lobby like “HOT Study” and the ALLAHAT study. Many of these study results were doctored before being published. Some of the studies were stopped prematurely like the HOT study and we are not told why the HOT study was prematurely stopped and the results analysed by “intention-to-treat” analysis while quite a few patients that started the study initially had dropped off by then because of intolerable side effects. Re-analysis of the famous UKPDS study of diabetes treatment analysed retrospectively after 40 years showed how the authors were “seeing what they wanted to see” in the study. Our present drug treatment of diabetes seems to have done more harm than good. “Eye of the Beholder”, is a good reanalysis of the “good” that bypass surgeries were supposed to do. CAST study showed that not all that glitters is gold in the area of anti-arrhythmic cardiac drugs. Statins are made out to be a panacea for all ills, but have dangerous side effects. It looks as if there is a pill for every ill; while in reality, it is the other way round. Every pill has an ill, if not more, following it! 30 XL Indian Social Science Congress 30 A recent analysis of the immediate post heart attack revascularization showed that “getting admitted after a heart attack to a hospital was the greatest risk factor for stroke. This risk was much greater than hypertension, diabetes etc!Swan-Ganz catheters, albumin infusions and, some keyhole surgeries have all come to grief sooner than expected. AIDS research is four times “richer” than cancer research but nothing seems to have come out of it since it began way back in 1981. Nothing has emerged in the field of AIDS management that will set the River Ganges on fire. The powers that be that really want to have a healthy society should strive to cure the three ills of society that make it unhealthy-poverty, ignorance, and dependence on others. Poverty is the mother of all illnesses ranging from common cold to cancer. In addition, poverty is also a double-edged weapon. The poor, when they fall sick, lose their daily wage earning capacity pushing them and their dependents further down into the bottomless pit of poverty and illnesses! It is not just the quality of air that we breathe that is our biggest danger. 47 million children in India suffer from NIDS nutritional Immune Deficiency Syndrome, which needs to be tackled on a war footing. 0700 QUALITY OF LIFE AND HEALTH Precise conceptualization of meaning of ‘Quality of Life’ and ‘Health’ and the connection between the two is necessary first step in right direction. Second step would entail development of measures of quality of life and health for determining the quality of life and health of the people of the given country. While doing so it ought to be remembered that the quality of life and the health are highly inter-related. Quality of material, social and cultural conditions of the people define their quality of life. Nature of work, working conditions, leisure, food, water, air, habitat, surrounding environment, clothing, climate, bio-diversity, etc constitute the material component of quality of life. Family, community, society and state define the social component of quality of life, Education, indigenous knowledge, traditions, beliefs, etc constitute the cultural component of quality of life. Thus, following can be used as parameters of quality of life for measuring quality of life of People of India as well as the peoples of other countries: I. Availability of nutrition toxic-free food II. Availability of safe drinking water III. Pollution-free clean air IV. Clean Housing or quality of Habitant V. Clean living conditions VI. Sources of Livelihood and Income VII. Stress-free working condition VIII. Hazard-free work/occupation IX. Pollution-free Environment X. Conflict And Tension free family and community life XI. Family Security XII. Social Security XIII. Freedom From Fear XIV. Sufficient Leisure time XV. Education XVI. World-outlook/Open Mind XVII. Sense of Belongingness/non-alienation XVIII. Sharing with others XIX. Non-violent XX. Liability-free/without loan XXI. Freedom From Poverty XXII. Content/Happy 31 XL Indian Social Science Congress 31 These are tentative suggestions. Newer and better parameters can be evolved and used in research. 0800 PROBLEMS Gulf between theory and praxis or between theory and reality or between promise and performance, often if not always, creates problems. This applies to India as well as other countries. All scientific assessments of post-independence development of India show that despite high rate of economic development, the disparity between the rich and the poor has widened beyond expectations. India has failed to stop the process of impoverishment of the majority and enrichment of the few. This is not withstanding India’s attempts to conceal through so-called imaginary poverty line. Added advantages to poverty are Ghetoisation , open-sky habitats, polluted environment, polluted air, water and food, continuous oppression, exploitation and forced displacements, migration and internecine subjection to all forms of violence. The end result is very low quality of life for its over 80 percent of population. Malnourishment/undernourishment is widespread in India. Infant mortality and morbidity are very high. Seventy percent of the diseases are said to be water-born. Tuberculosis, malaria and florishes continue taking life of large number of people. Do the rich people who enjoy very high quality of Life not suffer from health problems? The rich people too suffer from health problems, although of different kinds. Notwithstanding having green-technology fortress, high quality of life, the rich people too suffer from all kinds of illness and do die despite having all possible medical care. Over eating and no physical labour are major health problems of the rich. The difference between two is often expressed in following manner: Poor – Dead while living Rich – Living even after death What about the health of people of the most wealithiest/rich countries? United States of America is the most wealthiest country in today’s world, yet its people seem to have all kinds of health problems. Today between 45-45% US people live on left over food. Despite spending huge money on health care, the United States has not been able to ensure good health to its people. Question ‘Why’ needs investigations. While doing so one needs to study the status of health People in former USSR, present Cuba and China. Conditions of quality of life of peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America too need to be studied. Advances in Science and Technology, it seems, have, instead of improving, have caused greater threat to the quality of life and health of the people. Nuclear science led activities have since the days of Nagasaki-Hiroshima have been threatening very existence of humans on Planet Earth. Pugwash and other anti-nuclear movements have not succeed in stopping it. Advances in Agriculture and Food Technology have made soil, water, food highly toxic and dangerous to health. GM Crops are posing newer threats to peoples’ health. Arsenic and fluoride have created greater threats to health. Even low chemicals used in all kinds of powders are no less dangerous. Mining, desertification, deforestation etc have posed serious challenges to health. 0900 TENTATIVE SUB-THEMES Tentative Sub-themes of ‘Peoples Health And Quality of Life in India’ are suggested: (a) Major Sub-themes I.

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON RECLAIMING SCIENCE: PREVENTING AND REVERSING GENOMICIDE Indian Academy of Social Sciences in collaboration with University of Mysore and Natural Solution Foundation shall hold an international symposium on Reclaiming Science: Preventing And Reversing Genomicide’ during the 40th session of Indian Social Science Congress in December 19-23, 2016 at University of Mysore, Mysuru (India). The study of current health policies and practices show that health and the genomic future of the global population are getting destroyed day by day. The genomic damage asserts itself in infertility, increasing incidence of chronic, digenerative disease like autism, Alzheimers , diabetes, cancer and thus, leads to loss of both quality of life and life itself. The proposed symposium seeks solution of these problems which are: - Innovative - Implementable - Widely Deployable Papers should relate to one or more of the following symposium themes: 1. Low Tech/High Impact Real World Health Strategies 2. Safe, Deployable Technologies Enhancing Health Autonomy including Nutritional, Traditional, Agricultural And Dietary Supplementation 3. Replacing Health-Hurtful Practices with Health Enhancing Ones 4. Diagnosing and Reversing Genomic Damage 5. Identifying, Impacting And Reversing Dangerous Public Health Policy While illness serves the interests of many sectors of society it does not serve either the people, those who ARE society, or the greater goal of up-lift-ment and self-determination for all people. To that end we seek to create a lasting impact on health, health policy and, most of all, global awareness so that these innovations and implementations can bear positive and powerful fruit for the planet, its people and its environment. The use of the electronic participation and presentation format has been chosen specifically to enhance that end. Knowing that place and presence have always provided barriers to shared knowledge and its rapid implementation, the International Symposium will combine both in-person and electronic presentation and participation. The Symposium Steering Committee seek papers from scientists, innovators, educators, investors, health advocates, health professionals, academics, activists and others who understand that current health practices (in the broadest sense) along with social and public health policies that implement them, are destroying both the health and the genomic future of the global population. Presentations will be selected on the basis of timeliness, meaningful potential solutions to clearly identified and defined problems, deployability, quality of documentation and creativity. All submissions will be considered for publication in a volume and in electronic format through the online International Journal of Natural Health, Science and Policy.

In brief, the world today is in great turmoil and strife. Why is it so? Pursuing this question, the Indian Academy of Social Science(ISSA) has resolved to view Science as an organized system of knowledge of Nature-Humans-Society interactions2 with potential of overcoming challenges of poverty, hunger, disease, ignorance, superstition, discrimination, environment degradation, and promoting goodwill, friendly relations between and among all humans to live in harmony with nature.

Among them 75 tribes are recorded as primitive tribal groups (PTGs), mainly based on the criteria of their low level of education, stagnant population growth and primitive economy. Today they are known as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) (Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India). After 66 years of independence, STs are still at the lowest ebb of societal growth with low socio economic development. The concept of health among them has remained elusive and ill-defined. Their traditional belief and practices have kept the tribes away from optimal utilization of various health service launched by the government from time to time. In general, living a poor quality of life, endogamy and other cultural practices make tribals vulnerable to various diseases particularly of communicable diseases and genetic disorders. Recently, it has been reported that they are also affected by non-communicable diseases like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, etc., which were not reported earlier. Need of the hour is to device good practices for qualitative improvement in the health of the tribal population. Objective: 1. To sensitize the scientists, academicians, planners and programme managers about the disparity in health utilization among the tribals and the challenges ahead. 2. To bring to light the various specific tribal linked health issues and barriers of health utilization. 3. To invite brainstorming on the health issues for possible solution. Themes: 1. Socio-demographic challenges in tribal population 2. High priority diseases in tribal population 3. Nutritional problem in tribal population 4. Vector borne diseases and tribal population 5. Health education a solution for better health utilization among the tribal 6. Growing depression and other psychological problem among the tribes 7.

The other three national science Academies―Indian National Science Academy (INSA), Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS) and National Science Academy of India (NSAI) were born in British India. ISSA was born, 42 years ago, on August 15, 1974 at University of Allahabad in an assembly of young scientists. August 15, 1974 symbolized a beginning of an altogether new science reflecting democratic needs, aspirations, creative urges / potentialities, history, culture and traditions of peoples of India. Its name was carefully chosen for reflecting the true meaning and function of science. The setting up of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences also heralded a beginning of a new movement for unity of science of Nature-Humans-Society by forging unity among all branches of science. Many described it as a barometer of science and society in India. In more than one sense ISSA is a unique body in the whole world. Science means objective knowledge of non-living and living things / objects and knowledge means answer to questions ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’, about a thing / object. The word ‘Nature’ connotes all forms of objects / things / matter including humans and societies. Nature-Humans-Society form one single continuum. So division of science into physics, chemistry, biology, environment, ecology, agriculture, medical, social, historical etc. is artificial and all such divisions provide partial objective knowledge of Nature-Humans-Society. Unity of Science of Nature-Humans-Society, therefore, is necessary for having correct and full understanding of Nature. Science, thus viewed is unitary as well as uniting. The Science as an objective knowledge of non-living and living objects / things / matter is produced through collective mental and physical labour of men and women. What is the result of collective labour is termed as social and what is social is public and not private. Science, therefore, is social. It springs in society comprising men and women. Because it is social it has social functions. It has the prime role in enabling men and women to enjoy higher quality of material, social and cultural life in harmony with Nature. However, all such social functions of science filter through different groups in the society because of which one doesn’t find one-to-one relationship between science and conditions of all men and women of all societies. Humans’ inability to create a science-based society is well reflected in modern societies all over the world. The Indian Academy of Social Sciences seeks to discover, develop and disseminate science of Nature-Humans-Society in Indian conditions in particular, and world conditions in general, with a mission to build a new Democratic Republic of India where there is no hunger, no poverty, no unemployment, no illiteracy, no disease, no bigotry, no superstitions, no communalism, no casteism and no discrimination of any form and where all men, women and children enjoy equally good quality of material, social, cultural and spiritual life in harmony with Nature without any kind of fear of violence, rape and murder. Founders of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences thought that science can benefit the peoples of a given society only when it is taught and researched in their own language. Communication of scientific research and science education in peoples own language, therefore, is key to the unfolding of creative potentialities of peoples and benefiting them. Unfortunately, even after 68 years of 77 independence science in India is communicated through English. The end result is peoples of India who fund all scientific research are deprived of its benefits. The creativity in science is continuously declining. The Indian Academy of Social Sciences, therefore, seeks to change it by creating necessary conditions for communication of scientific research and science education in Indian languages involving publication of research journals, monographs, books etc. in Indian languages. All branches of science as mentioned below constitute the Indian Academic of Social Sciences. 1. Agricultural Science 2. Anthropology 3. Biological or Life Science 4. Biotechnology 5. Communication And Journalism 6. Commerce 7. Computer Science And Information Technology 8. Defence And Strategic Studies 9. Ecological And Environmental Science 10. Economics 11. Education 12. Engineering Science 13. Geography 14. Earth Science, Atmospheric Science, Ocean Science And Planetary Science 15. History And Archaeology 16. Home Science 17. International Relations Studies 18. Juridical Science 19. Linguistics 20. Management Science 21. Mathematics And Statistics 22. Medical And Health Science 23. Philosophy 24. Physical Science 25. Chemical Science 26. Political Science 27. Population Science 28. Psychology 29. Social Work 30. Sociology 78 Besides, policy planners, development agents and social activists having concern for science-based pursuits also find welcome place in the Indian Academy of Social Sciences. Thus the Indian Academy of Social Sciences is all embracing and all encompassing within the framework of science. The Indian Academy of Social Sciences pursues the following activities for realizing its goal: 1. Indian Social Science Congress 2. Network of State Centres / State level Academies 3. State level Social Science Congress in languages of respective States 4. Research And Training Centres (I) Rural Development Centres (II) Survey Research Centres (III) ISSA Silver Jubilee Peoples Science Centre For Theoretical And Policy Research 5. Research Journals And Newsletters (I) Bharatiya Samajik Chintan (English) (II) Samayik Samajik Chintan (Hindi) (III) ISSA Newsletter 6. Young Scientist Division 7. All India Young Scientists Convention 8. Publication of Books / monographs in Indian languages 9. Communication of Science To The People 10. Science Library 11. Local / Regional / national / international seminars / symposia / colloquia / public lectures / Group discussions 12. Networking with universities, colleges, research institutes, agriculture and industries What stands in the way of realization of full potentiality of ISSA is the paucity of financial resources and appropriate infrastructure. 79 INDIAN ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES State Centres/ Indian Social Research Young Scientists Publication Library Documentation Academies Science Congress & Division Division Centre (All Indian States) Training Centres All India Young State Social Science Congresses Scientists Convention Newsletters Journals Books/ Monographs Rural Development Survey Research Peoples Centre for Study Centre Centre Theoretical & Policy Research Andhra Bengal Delhi Karnataka Tamil Nadu Panjab Bihar Maharashtra Assam Orissa Rajasthan Social Social State Social Social Social Social Social Social Social Social Social Science Science Science Science Science Science Science Science Science Science Science Cong.
