Comparing apples with apples: A proposed taxonomy for “Community Health Workers” and other front-line health workers for international comparisons
This paper proposes a taxonomy for Community Health Workers (CHWs) and others engaged in front-line community health activities, encompassing formally-employed workers extending government primary health care (PHC) service delivery as well as a range of other actors with roles at the nexus of government PHC and communities. The taxonomy is grounded in current definitions from the World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization,…

Public trust in state governments in India: Who are more confident and what makes them confident about the government
Public trust in government is crucial for good governance, encompassing economic and social development of the region in a representative democratic setup. This study uses India Human Development Survey (2004–2005 and 2011–2012) data to examine the changing pattern of household confidence in state governments in India. Using a logit model analysis, we examine how the level of household confidence in the state government changes with households’ s…
Late-Holocene climate response and glacial fluctuations revealed by the sediment record of the monsoon-dominated Chorabari Lake, Central Himalaya
We studied a periglacial lake situated in the monsoon-dominated Central Himalaya where an interplay of monsoonal precipitation and glacial fluctuations during the late Holocene is well preserved. A major catastrophe occurred on 16–17 June 2013, with heavy rains causing rupturing of the moraine-dammed Chorabari Lake located in the Mandakini basin, Central Himalaya, and exposed 8-m-thick section of the lacustrine strata. We reconstructed the late-H…
Misinterpreting proxy data for paleoclimate signals: A reply to Srivastava and Jovane, 2020
Srivastava and Jovane (2020) have made several comments on our assessment of proxy data and challenged the outcome of Shukla et al. (2020) based mainly on interpretation of environmental magnetic parameters. We respond to their criticisms and re-evaluate our paper, remove ambiguities and validate our conclusions through additional proxies (grain-size and geochemistry). We welcome their comments and do not entirely rule out their interpretation fo…
Affirmative Action in Government Jobs in India: Did the Job Reservation Policy Benefit Disadvantaged Groups
In this study we use the India Human Development Survey (2011-2012) data and Logit model analysis to investigate how far the affirmative action policy has helped in increasing the chances of representation of eligible individuals from scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and other backward classes in government jobs in India. Analysis of the data reveals that the reservation policy in government jobs in India has helped in increasing the chances o…
Late Quaternary glacial advances in the Tons River Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India and regional synchronicity
The glacial history of the Tons River Valley reveals significant changes in the glacier extent during the late Quaternary driven by regional and global climatic changes. The successions of moraines in glaciated valley of the upper Tons River, Garhwal Himalaya, provide evidence of at least five glacial advances during the late Quaternary Period. This study discusses about the synchronicity of Himalayan glaciers and comparison between results of Op…
