Chapter - VI

Human DevelopmentThe human development paradigm introduced in the early 1990s sought to shift focus from

national income as the only indicator of development to expanding the choices people have. The concept of human development was introduced by the UNDP in 1990 in first global Human Development Report. In India this coincided with a period of rapid growth, rising inequalities where a need was felt to reinforce the idea that people matters, and India welcomed the concept of human development. Since 1999 UNDP in partnership with Planning Commission and other stake holders both nationally and State level, has supported efforts to integrate human development in planning and action. This partnership began with an initiative to develop the capacity of State Planning to prepare Human Development Report.

2. In the State of Uttar Pradesh first Human Development Report was prepared in the year 2003 and the Second report in the year 2006. The Human development index as calculated in the report is prepared using the Composite Index including infant mortality rate, per capita income and educational status taken together. Thus HDI is a single statistics which can serve as a frame of reference for both social and economic development. The strategy of inclusive growth as adopted in the Twelfth Plan can be fulfilled after the improvement in the level of human development of the masses.

3. There are four essential components of human development paradigm viz. Productivity, Equity, Sustainability and Empowerment. Thus, HDR proposes composite indices that go beyond income based measures. The Human Development Index (HDI), Gender Development Index (GDI) Gender Empowerment Measures (GEM) and Human Poverty Index (HPI) have been introduced in various Human Development Reports since 1990. These composite indices basically highlight the need to remove human deprivation of basic needs on a priority basis- a purpose for which the HDI is more suitable than only GDP as a measure. The list of variables used in constructing Human Development Indices are mentioned in the following table:

5. From the above table, it can be seen that among 17 major states of the country, U.P. ranked 15 in 2001 and 16 in 2005. Though, the rank of Uttar Pradesh slipped down but there is an increase of more than 5 percent in the absolute value of the index from 0.5442 in 2001 to 0.5709 in 2005.

6. The above data indicates that absolutes value of human development index in the State has improved significantly over the years but scope of further improvement in it is still very wide. The State Government is making earnest efforts for a comprehensive socio- economic development of the life of the people in the State which should make a significant impact on human development status in the state.

7. In addition to above, Human Development indices for 70 districts of the state has also been prepared by planning department to exhibit the regional dimension of Human Development in the state. The district wise Human Development indices in the year 2005 are shown in the following table.

Basic Education9. From the ancient times, education has been an integral part of our culture and civilization. Apart from other segments of social life, educational institutions were established to impart education to the people to foster the cultural legacy. From that time to the present time, the importance of education has been well recognized and now the knowledge, skills, creative abilities talents and aptitude of the people have become the real resource of the nation

10. The dawn of planning era gave enhanced attention to this sector and national policy on education (NEP) of 1986 provided impetus for educational development.

11. The subsequent period has been a renewed focus on Universal Elementary Education (UEE) with the commitment of the Central Government reflected in the form of 86th Amendment of Constitution making education a fundamental right. Now the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 has come into force since 1.4.2010 which gives a large mandate to provide free education to children of 6-

( 289 )

14 years. Accordingly State Government has also notified The Uttar Pradesh Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Rules, 2011 on 27th July 2011

12. In pursuance of the national polices, various initiatives have been taken by the State Govt. in education sector which is reflected in the increasing rate of literacy as mentioned below :-

These BITEs are to be established in minority, SC and ST concentrated blocks so that candidates especially from minority, SC and ST communities can be involved in teacher education programme. Under Elementary Education in-service teacher training programmes will be organized in these institutes and teachers trained from such institutes will fulfill the shortage of trained teachers in various districts.

Adult Education

Sakshar Bharat

39. Saakshar Bharat Programme will strive to create a literate environment that bolsters and sustains a literate society and provides opportunities for continuous improvement in the levels of adult literacy especially belonging to women, disadvantaged groups (SCs, STs and Minorities) and rural areas of districts with low female literacy levels, tribal areas and other difficult areas.

Overall Goal

( 301 )

40. Saakshar Bharat will work towards raising the overall literacy rate in the state to 85% and reduce the gender gap in literacy from 20% in the 2011 Final Census to 10% by the end of the 12 th Plan besides minimizing regional, social and gender disparities in literacy levels throughout State.

41. Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Arunachal Pradesh and Bihar are the low literacy states with literacy rate ranging from 61.80 percent in Bihar to 67.68 percent in Uttar Pradesh. Difference between States with the highest and the lowest literacy rate, namely Kerala (94.00%) and Bihar (61.80%) respectively, is over 30 percent points.

42. District level disparities are far more conspicuous by their scale. They vary from the lowest literacy rate of 49.13% in Shravasti district to the highest literacy rate of 85.00% in Ghaziabad district.

Objectives Impart functional literacy to illiterate adults in the age group of 15+.

Enable the neo-literates to continue their learning beyond basic literacy and acquire equivalency to formal educational system.

Equip the neo-literates with skills to improve their living and earning conditions

Establish a learning society by providing opportunities to neo-literates for lifelong learning.

Goals Achieve 85% literacy rate.

Achieve 80% female literacy rate.

Reduce gender gap in literacy to 10%.

Reduce Regional, Social, and Gender Disparities.

Coverage all 15+ age group.

Targets

43. Target of Saakshar Bharat is to impart functional literacy to 20 lakh adult in the age group 15 years and beyond. Out of which 18 lakh women to be literate under Saakshar Bharat during 2014-15.

Management of the Scheme District, Block and Gram Panchayats have been given key role in planning, implementing and

monitoring of the programme. The mission will be implemented through Gram Panchayat at the grass roots level and by other Panchayati Raj Institutions at the district and sub-district level.

Monitoring at the State level. SLMA will be implementing agency.

Literacy Assessment

( 302 )

Learner Assessment Exam have been conducted by National Insttitute of Open School Government of India. Literacy Assessment Exam have been conducted twice in every calander year in the month of March and August respectvely.

Assessment programmes need to be periodically conducted in order to gauge the competence of the population in literacy skills, the results of which would also act as indicators on the success and outcomes of the Saakshar Bharat Programme.

Assessment programmes can also be instrumental in promoting courage and self confidence amongst individual learners as they begin to recognize the level of their achievements in their attempt to attain an equivalency to formal education which would facilitate their vertical mobility for higher learning and understanding.

Assessment processes provide feedback on how well the learners are able to understand and internalize the content delivered to them. Educational assessment also indicates the competencies and skills acquired by the learner as she/he participates in the learning process.

Learner assessment is a process of ascertaining the outcomes of the programmes on two aspects; one, the proficiency level attained by a learner in achieving literacy skills (3Rs) and two, the empowerment experienced through participation in the programme assessment of literacy skills.

Seven literacy assessments have been conducted under Saakshar Bharat Programme from August,2010 to August,2013.

29.40 Lakh Adult Learner participate in Literacy Assessment programme out of those 22.56 Lakh adult learner get Success. Success rate is 76.71 %.

Proposed Outlay The total proposed outlay in year 2014-15 Rs. 3425.24 lakh. The sharing between the Centre

and the State would be 75:25.

Secondary Education44. Secondary education serves as a link between the elementary and higher education, and plays a very important role in this respect. A child's future can depend a lot on the type of education she/he receives at the secondary level. Apart from grounding the roots of education of a child, secondary education can be instrumental in shaping and directing the child to a bright future. This stage of education serves to move on higher secondary stage as well as to provide generic competencies that cut across various domains of knowledge as well as skills.

45. Providing secondary education to all, both boys and girls, with a focus on quality education assumes greater meaning today, when we consider the emerging challenges in our society. For instance, rising levels of socio- economic  aspirations  and  also  the  democratic  consciousness  particularly among marginalized sections of population such as the dalits, tribals, OBCs, religious and linguistic minorities and girls seek space in the secondary education system for greater access, participation and quality.

( 303 )

46. Secondary education spreads over the ages of 15 and 16, and then to 17 and 18 in the senior secondary grades. These are the years of adolescence, and late adolescence. These are the years of transition; indeed, most crucial years of life. There are steady and fast changes in the body structure transforming to adult form and image of life. At this age, the bodily changes take final shape and stabilise. This is also the stage of emotional transformation and maturity that swings between joy and trauma. Secondary education essentially has to be the  education  of  the  adolescence.  Experiences  in  schooling  have  to  be designed to be responsive to the needs of transition and stabilisation. Since large number of students is likely to transit from education to the world of work, it is also the stage of transition to work. Secondary education must foster skills of transition.

Secondary Education in India

47. Some Facts regarding the status of secondary Education in India is given as below:

In India, 40 million children were enrolled in secondary school in 2008. The majority of them

were boys, children from the urban areas, and those who belonged to the wealthier segments of

the population.

37% of secondary students fail, and 11% dropout before the exam.

India’s Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in secondary school is lower than its global competitors.

India’s GER in secondary school is 40%, compared to 70% in East Asia and 82% in Latin

America.

There are 3 National Boards and 34 State and Union Territory Boards, with their own

curriculum and certifying examinations.

Secondary school enrolment varies greatly between states: Kerala (92%), Tamil Nadu (44%),

Bihar (22%), Jharkhand (4%).

60% of the secondary school system is privately managed. Private unaided schools provide

30% of total secondary enrolment nationwide (2004-05), up from 15% in 1993-94.  

Educational Scenario in Uttar Pradesh:

48. The State of Uttar Pradesh has grown from strength to strength in primary and upper primary education in terms of access and quality issues.

On the basis of a survey report 536 Nyay Panchayat were identified under this scheme.

Higher Education63. Higher Education is of vital significance to the country as it makes a powerful tool to develop a knowledge based society in 21st Century. And to this end, Higher Education Institutions ( HEIs) play crucial role in developing the requisite capability of community for the overall development of Nation. As such , HEIs must ensure the maximum usage of human resources and infrastructure and inject the quality input in the system to improve its efficacy, viability and relevance in current era of globalization. The dimensions in higher education are to include the forthcoming challenge of infra structural support for the state universities and colleges .This has assumed significance in view of the special education campaigns of which the following are outstanding:

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)

Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)

Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)

64. It is rather very quickly after RMSA, that Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) has been floated! The financial implications of both these RMSA and RUSA will really be very far reaching for a state like UP which has the largest number of students aspiring to receive secondary and higher education which are to be covered by the two missions respectively.

65. The Government of UP is concerned with the quantitative expansion and quality improvement in higher education in the state. It is also alive to the issue of providing equitable access by inventing a

( 308 )

mechanism to help the poor and meritorious. students who are joining higher education institutions. The following points are noteworthy for improving quality and higher education development in the state.

Increasing Access

66. Uttar Pradesh in general is having low gross enrollment ratio in higher education (as in other levels) and this proportion is lower in the minority dominated districts of the state. The Government of India has identified that there are 41 districts where the GER is lower than the average. In 36 districts of these the Government of UP is setting up Model Government Degree Colleges which are meant for coeducation so that girls‟ enrollment could also be raised. Of these 5 districts are those that are dominated by minorities and this policy would thus also help in increasing the access to minority students. The Central Government is to provide 33 percent financing for this scheme and the rest 67 percent will be borne by the state government. But this endeavour of the government also needs to be supplemented by private efforts so that commensurate access to education is ensured.

Improving Quality

67. One of the measures through which better quality in higher education can be ensured is the formulation and modification of the syllabi. The Government of UP has ensured that in all subjects at the undergraduate level, it must be ensured that all students in all the universities do have the opportunity to read the common minimum of the syllabi to ensure standardization and quality improvement in every subject of study. This scheme has particularly been very useful for the benefit of college students along with their counterparts in university departments.

68. The state government is also giving special grants for organizing seminars, conferences and symposia and workshops in colleges and universities to discuss and disseminate new frontiers of knowledge. This facility is available to all types of institutions in the state, the state universities, government colleges and government aided institutions of higher education. This scheme has created academic activism in the institutions and the total ambience is being inspired.

69. State universities are also to be developed as „centers of excellence‟ for which special promotion schemes are in place. On these lines the private institutions also need to be encouraged to develop themselves as centers of excellence as per the norms of the NAAC and other regulatory agencies.

70. The quality education depends on the quality of teachers and that in turn is also a function of incentives given to teachers for better performance. The State government in UP has come out with a scheme of Awards for teachers which has immensely motivated them to perform still better and be the role models for their counterparts. „Shikshak Shree’ and „Saraswati Samman’ are such distinguished awards for teachers in higher education which are given for excellent contribution in higher education. The government has also increased the prize money. Incentives and disincentives are distinguished features of privately financed system.

71. During past few years, lot of emphasis was given for increasing the Gross Enrolment Ratio (G.E.R.), access , equity in higher education, relevance & quality, however, the targeted mark has yet to be achieved.

( 309 )

Keeping in view requirement of the job market, expectations of the stakeholders of higher education and the challenges which the higher education faces, there is a need for focus on vocationalizaton, enhancing access and monitoring & improving quality through curriculum reforms , periodic but mandatory assessment and accreditation of HEIs , networking of HEIs and setting up of Model Degree Colleges in the State to enable the system of higher education to sustain in this competitive and quality conscious era of globalization.

Present Scenario

72. U.P. is a state located in the northern part of with a population of over 190 million people and area of 93,933 sq mi (243,286 km²),it is India's Higher education has made a significant contribution to economic development, social progress and political democracy in independent India. But there is serious cause for concern at this juncture. The proportion of our population, in the relevant age group, that enters the world of higher education is about 16 per cent. The opportunities for higher education in terms of the number of places in universities are simply not adequate in relation to our needs. Large segments of our population just do not have access to higher education.

73. To compete successfully in the knowledge-based economy of the 21st century, Uttar Pradesh needs enough higher education institutions that not only produce bright graduates for export but can also support sophisticated research in a number of scientific and scholarly fields and produce at least some of the knowledge and technology needed for an expanding economy. How can U.P. build a higher education system that will permit it to join developed economies? In the view of above scenario , it is suggested that the higher education vision for 12 plan for Uttar Pradesh should be focused on the following aspects:

Vision

74. To Develop Universities and Colleges as a Center of Excellence in Teaching and Research

Goals To impart , disseminate an advance knowledge by quality and innovative teaching in different

branches of learning.

Key Challenges

( 312 )

NAAC is mandated to accredit all institutions of HEIs, particularly that are publicly funded and grade them on the basis of their academic governance, physical facilities and infrastructure . Very few have attained „A‟ grade in universities and colleges. Poor quality in a sector of higher education can be attributed to variety of reasons; spanning from under-investment to inadequate faculty resources and deficiency in teaching-learning process.

Shortage of faculty members have been a major deterrent in implementing academic reforms in universities and colleges like introduction of new courses, restructuring of syllabi and innovation in teaching-learning processes..

The GER in HE of 41 districts of UP is still much below the national average not to speak of GER of a nation required for its growth as a developed country of world. The target of 15% GER is yet to be achieved which requires multi-pronged strategy.

Making higher education relevant to the cotemporary as well as future needs of society at large, while making it more inclusive by enhanced participation of under-served population of society, is yet another challenge before higher education.

Further, there are certain courses where most of the seats remain vacant vis-à-vis their intake capacity. Universities and colleges need to find out reasons and provide incentives to launch special drive including curricular revision, introduction of skill based courses to enroll students in these courses. While focusing on vocational and market oriented courses, it is to be ensured that such courses do not prosper at the cost of humanities and social sciences , for these disciplines are of critical importance for making a humane society.

New Initiatives in Higher Education 26 Model Government Degree Colleges, sanctioned by MHRD, New Delhi under national

Higher Education mission, , will be opened to serve as a role model for other colleges in their area.

Opening of Government Degree Colleges in Unserved blocks.

To start B.Ed. courses within 5 years in newly established Government Degree Colleges.

Strengthening of Labs and Library and establishment of e-library in r Government Degree & Post Graduate Colleges. Establishment of Library, equipped with internet connectivity, reprography and a Reading Hall , will induce reading habits among students and optimal use of library holdings.

By opening of model degree colleges, there will be increased access of minority population to higher education, social disparity will be reduced, enhanced gross enrolment in higher education and gender disparity in higher education will be minimized.

Strengthening of existing Government Degree Colleges and inclusion of new subjects and faculties

80. There exist 138 Government Degree Colleges out of which 42 colleges impart higher education upto Post Graduate level. The colleges will require renovation, replacement and new additions in their laboratory equipments. Further to cope with the requirement of highly quality conscious job market, new subjects need to be introduced, consequently additional posts of teachers and non-teaching staff needs to

( 314 )

be created. No single faculty college can ever produce quality teaching and generate employability as such single faculty colleges require additional faculty with new subjects and corresponding teaching / non-teaching posts and recurring & non-recurring grants to run such faculties. Colleges awaiting elevation to Post Graduate level need additional faculty and staff to impart quality teaching and research.

81. Under the scheme creation of posts for new subjects / faculties and strengthening of labs are proposed. For Strengthening of existing Government Degree Colleges and inclusion of new subjects and faculties in Government Colleges an outlay of Rs 333.82 lakh in Revenue side for the year 2014-15 have been proposed .

Health and Nutrition

Medical and Public Health

107. U.P. having a total population of 21.19 corers at the end of 2014 and 78% of its population is residing in rural areas. It has problematic areas of bundel khand and border area, water logging etc. cause many diseases all over the State, particularly in eastern district, diseases like Vector Borne Diseases (V.B.D.) and Japanese Encephalitis (J.E.) including Dengue & Malaria & naxal problems are prevalent in 3 districts.viz :- Sonbhadra, Mirzapur and Chandauli. As per Annual health survey 2012-13, the health indicator of Uttar Pradesh like crude birth rate is 24.8, crude death rate is 8.3, Infant mortality rate is  68, neonatal mortality rate is 49, Post Neonatal Mortality Rate is 19, Under five Mortality Rate is 90 and Maternal Mortality Ratio is 258.

108. Population of U.P. is growing with the natural growth rate of 16.5 which is very much on higher side. However as far as sex ratio is concerned U.P is showing excellent performance as it has been increased to 921 in 2012-13 in comparison of 904 earlier.

109. The highest rates of childhood malnutrition are in the central region, but the severest  cases are in the western region. In general the southern region has better indicators for nutrition, however, anemia is relatively high. As per National Family Health Survey 3, 85 % of children of age 6-35 months are anemic, 50.9 % of ever-married women of age group 15-49 are anemic, 51.6 percent of pregnant women of age

group 15-49 are anemic. 52.4 percent of children under 3 years are stunted, 19.5 percent of children under 3 years are wasted 41.6 percent of children under 3 years are underweight.

110. Immunization rates vary by vaccine, although complete vaccination is worst in the southern region. Broadly aggregated, poor performing district are clustered in the north-central area of the state; these figures are consistent with low rates of literacy and education for females.

111. Majority of medical & health facilities in U.P. are covered by private sector in urban areas. The priority should be to reduce infant, child and maternal mortality, the incidence of communicable diseases and to improve reproductive health. The achievement of these goals will require improved essential health care services, such as coverage for immunization, family planning and institutional (or safe) deliveries, early recognition and prompt and effective treatment of life threatening illnesses, especially acute respiratory infections (ARI), Diarrhoea, Malaria and T.B. and access to reliable basic health care, as well as health advocacy for increased and understanding of appropriate health behaviour. It is also necessary to increase promotion in nutrition, water and sanitation and to improve regulation of the iodine content in salt.

112. Government of U.P. has setup and manages a vast network of health facilities. It consist of 20521 sub centre, 3496 P.H.C. (440 P.H.C. under construction) ,773 C.H.C. (207 C.H.C. under construction), 150 district male/female and combined district hospitals (50 district hospitals male, 45 combined hospitals & 55 female hospitals), and 03 Super specialty Hospitals are providing a range of preventive and curative health services to the public of the state in line with the health policies and strategies of the government. Seven Trauma Centre are completed, 5 are in the process of completion by U.P. Govt. and 8 are being made by Central Govt.

Priorities

To fill up the vacant post of medical officer & other paramedical staff

To convert all block PHC's into CHS's

24 hours electric and water supply in the district hospital

To strengthen the rogi kalyan samiti

To implement fully RSBY yojna for BPL

Death audit of every death in district hospital

( 324 )

114. The Govt. is strengthening the hospitals, P.H.C.'s, CH.C.'s standards, establishing many super specialty hospitals and medical colleges and also establishing Trauma centres with ambulance services on highways and Mobile Medical Units for distant and out reach arcos.

Starting of P.P.P. Model in health care services

116. The State shows significant variation in health related burden and disability across regions and income groups. Both the rich and poor face a very high burden of health related disability. However, the poor and women seem to be at greater disadvantages with incidence of IMR alone at two and a half times higher amongst the poor public sector's role in health service delivery is very marked in U.P. Much of mortality reduction during the past few decades is traceable to government-driven efforts, particularly, through institutional deliveries immunization campaigns and focus on specific challenges like TB etc.

117. Health care in UP can be summarized as a composite challenge of access, quality and demand. The large public sector does not have adequate access besides being found wanting in quality of care at the cutting edge (PHCs and Sub-Centres). The private sector has access but poses a challenge on account of a serious lack of quality to the extent that it often becomes a threat to the health of people. It appears that orientation of health strategies in UP, where the focus is increasingly on functionalizing existing structure; synergy through public private partnership particularly for reaching out for the poor and marginalized, and on finding solution through innovative interventions that can meet UP's health challenge.

ICDS is the nodal programme for addressing issues related to nutrition of children.

191. In view of the prevailing circumstances, it is imperative to assess the nutrition & health status of women & children in the State before proposing any work plan of ICDS. In this connection, the status of women & children in the State (as per NFHS-3) is summarized below—

Item StatusMalnutrition (children < 3 years) 47%Children with Stunted Growth 46%Children with Wasted Growth 14%Infant Mortality Rate (per 1000 live births) 73Immunization 22.9%Vitamin –A (supplementation in last six months) 7.3%Anemia (children 6 months – 3 years) 85.1%Anemia (women 15 – 49 years) 50.8%Anemia (pregnant women 15 – 49 years) 51.6%
