How is India today similar to and different from what Gandhi envisioned for the country?
REY [17]

Answer:

Eighty years ago, Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi, writing of the India he envisioned and dedicated his life to building, mused that an ideal village would be one that enjoyed ‘perfect sanitation.’

It was no idle wish. Gandhi had seen the danger caused by inadequate sanitation and hygiene. He had seen the disease and subsequent malnourishment it causes, the lives and wellbeing of millions of Indians, especially children and other vulnerable people. He had also seen the impact of open-defecation on the safety and dignity of women and girls. And he understood that these were not only injuring individuals – they were holding back India’s economic and social progress as well.

Today, as the nation and indeed, the world, celebrate Gandhi’s birthday, his dream of perfect sanitation for India may be closer to becoming a reality than ever before.

Explanation:

Three years ago, the Government of India declared war on open defecation, launching the Swachh Bharat – or Clean India – Mission with the ambitious goal of achieving an open defecation-free India by 2019. In a nation where millions of people still lack basic sanitation and hygiene, the goals of SBM may seem unachievable. But the scale and pace of the progress achieved by the thus far is high.

Already, five States and nearly 250,000 villages in 200 districts have been declared open defecation-free – ODF – with more soon to follow. The increase in sanitation facilities is no less impressive: The Government of India reports that latrine coverage has gone from 39 per cent to over 69 per cent. Every hour, an estimated 3300 toilets are being built in India – nearly one toilet every second.

But it’s not enough to build toilets; people need to use them. For this reason, behaviour change is a centerpiece of the Swachh Bharat Mission. The government and its partners are fielding “sanitation armies” to drive community awareness and action. Bollywood stars and cricket legends have joined the effort – including UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sachin Tendulkar. Public health initiatives like the UNICEF-supported campaign are breaking through where traditional efforts have failed. In fact, the whole of Indian society is being mobilized to end open defecation.

The Government is leaving nothing to chance. It has put in place a rigorous system to verify not only that a community, district or State is ODF – but that it remains ODF. A recent survey conducted by the Quality Council of India shows that in communities verified as ODF, usage of toilets remained above 91 per cent.

The stakes are very high – and especially for India’s youngest citizens. The World Health Organization estimates that 117,000 Indian children under the age of five died in 2015 from diarrheal diseases caused by unimproved sanitation and hygiene. This represents 22 per cent of the global burden. More than one in three children in India today are , often due to the impact of chronic diarrhea caused by exposure to fecal matter. This affects both their physical and development, undermining their ability to learn and later, to earn a living.

Because ending open-defecation is not only a matter of smart health policy. It is also smart social and economic policy. A 2008 World Bank study showed that the total economic impact of inadequate sanitation in India amounted to US$ 53.8 billion per year – the equivalent of 6.4 per cent of India’s GDP during the same period. UNICEF just completed a study showing that when costs and benefits are compared over a ten-year period, savings realized through improved sanitation exceed costs by 4.3 times – a four-fold return for every rupee spent.

These financial benefits have a direct impact on families. The same UNICEF analysis – based on data from 10,000 households across 12 States – shows that households using a toilet are saving on average around 50,000 rupees (around US$760) per year, realized in medical costs averted, the value of time saved in not needing to seek medical treatment, and the value of deaths averted. For poor rural families in India, this represents a small fortune.

Crucially, the UNICEF study indicates that improving hygiene and sanitation for the poorest households brought the greatest immediate health benefits, since children living in poverty are at the greatest risk of diarrheal diseases, s

and death.

The challenges India still faces to become open-defecation free are substantial. But India is showing that it can be done. And it must. Not only in India, but everywhere that open defecation destroy lives and futures.

If we are serious about realizing the promise of the SDGs, we need to work together to realize Gandhi’s dream – for India and for the world.

A country emphasizes individual performance and achievements in every sphere of society. how might this affect the business envi
pav-90 [236]

A country emphasizes individual performance and achievements in every sphere of society. The employees in this country may lack loyalty and commitment to a company-this affect the business environment in this country.

A large degree of managerial mobility across organizations is another way that individualism manifests itself, and this is not necessarily a desirable thing. Managers who lack the loyalty, experience, and network of interpersonal contacts that come from years of working for the same company may have solid general skills but lack the loyalty and devotion to a particular organization and the propensity to move on for a better offer.

How has the government tried to end wage discrimination?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The government has tried to end wage discrimination since back in 2016 when the state lawmakers introduced at least 180 bills across the country aimed at shrinking the pay gap. Seven were enacted, dozens are pending and nearly 50 either failed or were vetoed. A year prior, 76 equal pay-related bills were introduced in 33 states. And it’s not just progressive states like California taking the wage gap seriously. Louisiana, North Dakota and Utah are just three examples of Republican states advancing such legislation, said Emily Martin, a legal expert on equal pay. In North Dakota, for instance, a bill passed in 2015 strengthening employer's salary reporting requirements. The state, which overwhelmingly voted for Trump in the 2016 election, proves the issue of pay equity is still being addressed in conservative areas. “I’m glad that states are really focusing on equal pay and exploring new policy solutions to ensure women are paid equally to men, in part because federal policy-making is at best stalled on this issue, and at worst, we might be seeing rollbacks in coming years,” Martin, who serves as general counsel and vice president for workplace justice at the National Women’s Law Center, told NBC News.While equal pay laws passed by Congress include the Equal Pay Act passed of 1963, states are offering creative solutions to expand protections for women and close federal loopholes. Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Bills that prohibit employers from requiring job applicants to reveal their salary history can prevent pay discrimination from following a woman throughout her career. In 2016, Massachusetts enacted first-of-its-kind legislation forbidding employers from inquiring about salary history. Since then, California has followed suit and nearly 20 states have introduced similar measures. “If your new employer is setting how much you make based on how much you made at your last job, given that women tend to be paid less than men, it has the effect of replicating those wage disparities through a woman’s career as she shifts from job to job,” Martin said. “We’ve seen a lot of interest in other states in replicating [Massachusetts’s law].” California, Delaware, Maryland and Connecticut are among the states in 2016 that strengthened laws prohibiting bosses from retaliating against employees who discuss their wages with coworkers. As of 2017, 17 states had "pay secrecy" laws on the books, and some are looking to strengthen existing law. But several states, including Arizona, continue to allow such practices from employers. “You can’t challenge pay discrimination if you don’t know you’re being paid less than a male coworker, but a lot of employers either have formal policies prohibiting employees from talking to each other about wages or strong implicit disapproval for employees talking to each other about wages,” Martin said. Delaware Gov. Jack Markell signed H.B. 314 into law in 2016, making it illegal for employers to require employees to sign a document waiving the right to discuss salaries with other workers. Making Fewer Businesses Exempt

Several states have equal pay protections that don’t apply to smaller businesses or to workers in the private sector, where the wage gap tends to be more pronounced due to a less transparent pay structure. Five states— Utah, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia — exempt small businesses from enforcing equal pay protections, while Louisiana's laws only apply to public workers.

In March, Nebraska amended its equal pay protections to encompass businesses that employ at least two workers per day. Previously, the law applied to businesses with more than 15 workers. “The bottom line is line is protections need to cover everyone and they need to be strong and robust,” Kate Nielson, the state policy analyst for the American Association of University Women, told NBC News. But Will State Legislation Be Enough?
