India’s infant mortality rate falls
India’s infant mortality rate (IMR) has fallen from 42 in 2012 to 33 in 2017. However, the pace of change appears to have slowed down when compared to the five years before 2012, when it fell from 55 to 42. Given that India’s IMR is even today worse than those of South Asian neighbours Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, the slowdown is worrying.

चाबहार पोर्ट से जुड़ी परियोजनाओं को लेकर संशय
दुनियाभर में मौजूद हथियारों के जखीरे में भले ही कमी देखी जा रही हो पर बीते 12 महीनों में परमाणु युद्ध का खतरा काफी बढ़ गया है। कुछ हद तक इसके लिए अमेरिका और ईरान के बीच बढ़ते तनाव को भी जिम्मेदार ठहराया जा सकता है। दरअसल, एक नई रिसर्च में दावा किया गया है कि संख्या में भले ही दुनिया के परमाणु हथियारों में कमी आई हो लेकिन तबाही लाने वाले परमाणु युद्ध का खतरा कम होने की बजाय बढ़ गया है।
