Infant Mortality Rate (or IMR) indicates the number of children that die before
the age of one year as a proportion of 1000 live children born in that particular
year. Literacy Rate measures the proportion of literate population in the 7-and-
above age group.
Net Attendance Ratio is the total number of children of age group 14 and 15
years attending school as a percentage of total number of children in the
same age group.
Life Expectancy : It refers to the average length of time that a person can
expect to live from birth.
Body Mass Index (BMI): To determine if an adult is underweight or not, the
internationally accepted standard known as Body Mass Index (BMI) is used.
For adults, a BMI of less than 18.5 is considered underweight, while a BMI
between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal, based on their height and weight
However, it's important to keep in mind that this standard is not appropriate for
growing children.
Weight (in kilograms)
BMI = Height²(in metre)
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Public Ko Kya-Kya
milta hai?
Money alone cannot provide all the necessary goods and services for a comfortable
life, such as a pollution-free environment and disease protection.
Public facilities provided by the government are the most affordable and efficient way
to collectively provide these services to the public.
Kerala is a better place to live because of its well-established public distribution
system, ensuring that everyone has access to food and good health.
Kerala also has adequate basic health facilities and proper education, ensuring
people receive the necessary treatments and education.
SUSTAINABILITY OF DEVELOPMENT
Sustainability of development is the practice of achieving economic growth while
protecting the environment and ensuring social well-being, without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves taking a long-term
view of development that balances economic, environmental, and social factors, to
create a sustainable and equitable future for all.
To ensure sustainable development, it is crucial to avoid harming the environment.
Some examples of environmental issues that must be considered include:
Groundwater overuse: The overuse of groundwater poses a significant threat to
its availability and quality.
Resource depletion: Excessive mining of resources like iron, gold, silver, coal and
crude oil can lead to depletion of these resources, causing irreparable harm to
the environment.
Factory pollution: The release of smoke and other harmful gases from factories
causes environmental pollution, which can have serious implications for public
health.
Water and air pollution: The problems of water and air pollution have a direct
impact on the quality of life of people and can also impact future generations.
Globalization challenges: The process of globalization has presented new
challenges for farmers in countries like India, including increased competition with
other international countries, which can have negative impacts on the
environment if not properly regulated.
