Women's Health in India
We examined the health status of women in relation to their body mass indices and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) by analyzing data from a follow-up study of 325 women, selected from the Indian National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2/1998-99) Delhi samples, reinterviewed after 4 years (2003). Obese women were five times more likely (OR = 4.87; p 0.90) were two times more likely (OR = 1.70; p =.050) to perceive their health condition as worse than others. …

To what extent are the indigenous women of Jharkhand, India living in disadvantageous conditions
Indigenous populations are the most marginalized and vulnerable communities in India, constituting 8.2% of India's total population, four times larger than the total population of Australia. The state of Jharkhand accounts for 27.7% of the total indigenous population of India. This paper compares the health and socio-economic and demographic indicators among indigenous and non-indigenous women in Jharkhand in terms of ‘disadvantage ratio’, by exp…

Environmental Degradation in the Context of Growing Urbanization
Using the available data on relevant issues, the study concentrate on some of the important environmental problems caused by over population growth and rapid urbanization process in the metropolitan cities of India. Total urban population in India has increased more than ten times surpassing India’s total population growth, which has increased less than five times during 1901 to 2001. Also, there was about three-fold increase in the percentage of…
