Therapeutic potential of cannabidiol-rich Cannabis sativa to mitigate the severity of inflammation and pain
Creating ‘safe’ spaces through exclusionary boundaries
Our study illustrates how boundary mechanisms exacerbated the marginalization of paid domestic workers in India, after they resumed their employment at the end of the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. We draw upon in-depth interviews with the middle-class employers of these workers to show how the employers renegotiated boundary rules and created bubbles of safe interaction for themselves. We contribute to boundary theory by explaining how p…
Housing for the poor in India’s Rural Punjab
This article critically evaluates the effectiveness of recent state-led housing schemes in rural India, with a special focus on the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (Gramin) programme in one particular district in Punjab. Based on a close examination of official reports and ethnographic research, the article makes recommendations for future policies and programmes for housing the poor in rural India. Importantly, it identifies significant synergies wi…
Slum Rehabilitation Through Public Housing Schemes in India
It is a widely accepted fact that sustainable development cannot be achieved without sustainable human settlements. Cities cannot be made sustainable without ensuring access to adequate and affordable housing to all and improving informal settlements. According to the Census of India (2011), 13.75 million urban households, that is, 65–70 million people live in informal settlements and about 1.77 million people were homeless in India. The goal of …
Animal Welfare and Human Health
India’s large stray dog population, estimated to be about 25 million, poses substantial risks to human health, motivating some civic bodies to employ cruel methods to control dog populations. This article argues that while human health is certainly a priority, it is also important to consider animal welfare and to handle dog population control measures without causing unnecessary animal suffering. Triangulating the issues of rabies control, dog p…
Solid waste management and sustainable cities in India
Urban India generates about 42 million tonnes of municipal solid waste per annum. By 2050, 50 per cent of the country’s population is projected to be urban, and the amount of waste will increase substantially. The 12th Schedule of the Constitution of India makes it obligatory for municipal authorities to keep cities and towns clean. Given their wide range of responsibilities, however, dealing with waste in both practical and environmentally sound…
Environmental Awareness Policies and its Effectiveness
Environment protection programmes and legislations are meaningless as long as the victims of pollution are denied participation in the process of implementation of the law. Larger public participation can go a long way in dealing with environmental management problems. However, information dissemination is crucial in order to generate capability in the citizens to enable such participation. The present study focuses on environmental awareness pol…
Status of China in Science and Technology as Reflected in its Publications Output, 1997–2007
The study examines China’s performance in science and technology (S&T) during 1997–2007, based on several parameters including the country’s annual average growth rate, global publication share and rank, strong and weak subject areas (in terms of national priority, international collaborative share and global share), institutional profiles of select top institutions, the overall international collaboration profile and major collaborative partners…
