RISE TO CHALLENGE
‘Ventilators ok in other
states,whynotinRaj?’
CM Gehlot did not use them as it would have made PM Modi famous
First India Bureau
Jaipur: BJP state in-
charge Arun Singh on
Sunday attacked Chief
Minister
Ashok Ge-
hlot for
raising the
issue of
ventilators
arranged
from PM Cares Fund.
He said in the virtual
press conference that
the Gehlot govt itself
gave a certificate that all
the ventilators are cor-
rect,sohowdidtheysud-
denly deteriorate. These
ventilators are also
working in other states.
The real thing is that the
PM Cares Fund was
written on these ventila-
tors. This would have
made the PM famous,
due to which the Gehlot
govt did not use them.
Gehlothadasininhis
mind, due to which
many people lost their
lives. Singh said that the
state government is say-
ing that the flow sensor
is bad. When the PM of
the country can spend
Rs 60 crore on ventila-
tors, then the state could
not use them by install-
ing a flow sensor of Rs
300. “If these were bad
then why did the private
hospitals in Bharatpur
hire them? If these were
made functional a year
ago, then these situa-
tions might not have
happened,” he said.

T
he patients with
Black Fungus are
to be treated in the
state’s largest Sawai Man
Singh Hospital located
in Jaipur. An Out Patient
Department (OPD)of
Mucormycosis will oper-
ate in the SMS hospital’s
medicine OPD. In the
OPD, seniorn expert
doctors of Medicine, Ear
Nose Throat, Ophthalmol-
ogy, Neurology, Plastic
Surgery, Neurosurgery,
Anesthesia, Radiology
and Microbiology will be
present. First India had
actively advocated the
plight of common people
because the Ophthalmol-
ogy Out Patient Depart-
ment (OPD) in Sawai Man
Singh Hospital was closed
for now. So the hospital
had space for creating
this Mucormycosis OPD
on the first floor of the
Radiotherapy department.
This will turn to be a relief
for patients as SMS hos-
pital gets to see patients
from across the state to
get proper treatment here.
A
prime instance
of an ambulance
driver taking
unthinkable Rs 26,000
for driving a distance
of 32 km came to light.
After paying amount, the
victim registered a com-
plaint against the driver
at the control room of
Jaipur RTO. After which,
necessary action was
taken. The RJ14 PC
1391 ambulance
covered 32 km,
whose actual fare
was supposed to
be merely Rs 1,620
instead charged Rs
26,000 from a patient’s
relative. After receiving
the complaint, Rakesh
Sharma from
Jaipur RTO got
illegitimate fare
refunded. Ambu-
lance was seized
& vehicle registration
certificate & license sent
for suspension.
T
he latest CM
Chiranjeevi health
scheme will now
cover black fungus too.
In the past, there was an
issue brought under the
cognizance of CM Ashok
Gehlot. Sujaram Meghwal
of Jalore got infected with
Covid and then black fun-
gus which led to the loss
of eyesight in one of his
eyes. Despite having Jan
Aadhar, the Pacific Hos-
pital in Udaipur refused
treatment. On the other
hand, Jalore Congress
Covid Control Room re-
ferred the matter to CM &
Health Minister Dr Raghu
Sharma. The government
showed sensitivity and
took action on the whole
matter. Hospitals are
reluctant in accepting the
Chiranjeevi scheme in the
state. In the latest case,
diabetes patient Sujaram
had Covid and later devel-
oped black fungus. He is
covered under Chiranjeevi
scheme & payment up to
Rs 5L should be covered
under this scheme.

Raj floats global tenders to procure Oxy
First India Bureau
Jaipur: The state gov-
ernment has made glob-
al tenders to purchase
or take liquid medical
oxygen tankers on lease
for three months. Cur-
rently, the government
is suffering from a
shortage of oxygen
tankers. This is why
they are unable to take
all the oxygen being al-
lotted to the state. Ra-
jasthan currently has
11 tankers. The trans-
port department has ar-
ranged for 29 other
tankers from different
states. To receive the
310 metric ton gas allo-
cated to the state, they
will need approximate-
ly 100 tankers more.
The rate of tankers/km
in September 2020 was
Rs 87/km. The trans-
port department has
worked really hard to
increase the number of
tankers from 6 to
40. Transport Commis-
sioner Mahendra Soni
and his entire team
have been engaged in
this tanker pursuit for
the last 1 month.

COVID-19 AND
THE GAME OF
FUDGING NUMBER
OF DEATHS
ruth has been the biggest casualty
in the ongoing pandemic. Many
states including Maharashtra, Gu-
jarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh,Odisha,Karnataka,Bihar,
Haryana and Chhattisgarh allegedly reported
fewer than the actual Covid-19 deaths. The sus-
pected under-reporting of positive cases and
huge under-counting of those succumbing to
Covid-19 in cities and villages eroded people’s
trust in governments. Added to this was lack
of transparency
.Togetherthesecreatedasense
of fear in the people. That may have been the
reason for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to
saythat“statesshouldbeencouragedtoreport
theirnumberstransparentlywithoutanypres-
sure of high numbers showing adversely on
their efforts”. By allegedly undercounting
casualtiesthestateswerefloutingIndianCoun-
cil of Medical Research guidelines. As per the
guidelines even if the person dies without
Covid-19 symptoms but has tested positive it
should be recorded as a coronavirus death.
It is not late for states to start reporting
actual numbers of infections and virus re-
lated deaths as it begins to cause havoc in vil-
lages. People are scared anyway so true num-
bers won’t change anything for them. Fami-
lies have lost their loved one(s) to Covid-19.
Not including their dead in official records
as a Covid-19 death will not alter the situation
for them. Until scarcity of medical oxygen
and hospital beds eased people were depend-
ent on God after all.
The undercounting of deaths due to Cov-
id-19 has been a typical feature of the pandem-
ic not just in India but in several countries of
the world. In the US, a study found that the
country undercounted 3.4 lakh Covid deaths.
The official US toll is 5.85 lakh. Adding the es-
timated “uncounted” 3.4 lakh to the official
tally will push the total Covid deaths to 9.25
lakh.That’sahugenumberforoneof themost
advanced countries in the world. Russia is es-
timated to have left out 5.93 lakh deaths from
its final total of Covid-19 fatalities. The study
by the Institute for Health Metrics Evalua-
tionof theUniversityof Washingtonanalysed
data from 20 countries from March 2020 and
May 2021 before coming to the conclusion that
Covid-19 deaths were undercounted.
ThestudyclaimedthatIndiatooundercoun-
ted Covid-19 deaths by 4.3 lakh. That various
states were allegedly Covid fatality numbers
was raised by courts and the media. The Guja-
rat High Court pulled up the state government
by saying, “The state had nothing to gain by
hiding the real picture and hence suppression
andconcealmentof accuratedatawouldgener-
ate more serious problems including fear, loss
of trust and panic among the people at large.”
Foreign and Indian media regularly point-
ed out that the Covid-19 fatalities in India
were much higher than were being reported.
And PM Modi has come forward well in time
to guide the states not to under report and be
transparent.
IN-DEPTH
T he onslaught of the new mu-
tant and variant that has hit
the Indian peninsula has truly
crumbled the socio-economic
fabric and has left all of us
gasping and groping under a
volcanic eruption of a degener-
ating health system. While on
one side it is the helplessness
of a common man on the other
hand micro and small busi-
nesses face unprecedented re-
cession. The International La-
bour Organization estimates
that 400 million people in India
may sink deeper into poverty
.
The pandemic has probably
given the biggest blow to Indian
economy which remained unaf-
fectedevenduringtheeconomic
depressionof 2007–08.Whether
thegovtagreesornot,economic
activity across the country has
either stalled or significantly
decelerated taking away mil-
lions of livelihoods and closure
of a sizable number of micro
and small business units.
In 2020 March, since the first
lock down was clamped, it’s
been a long story of partial or
complete lock down derailing
the small business to succumb
to financial pressures. While
the businesses were planning
to revamp and stabilize, the
second wave has broken the
back bone of the businessmen.
The covid 19 pandemic has
left its footprints on almost all
sectors of Indian economy, but
nowhere is the hurt as grave as
the Small and Micro Enterpris-
es in the country
.
If we believe govt figures, In-
dia’s economy shrank 7.5 per-
cent in just the three months
that ended in September 20.
However, traders’ associations
remain in disagreement and
say that the figures are fudged
and doctored. As per the Con-
federation of All India Traders
(CAIT) small business and re-
tail traders have faced a loss of
approximately 15 trillion over
the last 14 months.
So, what kind of problems do
small businesses in India face
in these difficult times? Major
issue is that most of them are
not registered anywhere. May-
be because of the reason that
they are not big enough. Even
in the limits of GST these do
not really qualify. This appar-
ent opaqueness tends to cut
both ways, for the businesses as
well as against them. As they
remain out of the formal net-
work, maintaining accounts,
paying taxes or adhering to
regulatory norms does not ap-
ply to them. This brings down
their costs. But, when the crisis
strikes, the government’s abil-
ity to help them diminishes.
The second problem is of
zero footfall and it shall con-
tinue until the lock downs per-
sist and the common man lives
under the fear of pandemic and
poor medical infrastructure.
If these are the problems,
what can be done to redeem
them? The govt and the RBI has
beentryingtopumpmoneyinto
this sector but given the struc-
turalconstraints,ithashadlim-
ited impact. The registered en-
trepreneurs are just 30 – 35% of
the existing lot and therefore,
the bulk remain left out with no
relief reaching them.
Actually, there are no easy
answers. The government can
only extend tax relief in form
of GST and other taxes, give
faster refunds, and can provide
cash availability through DTB
to rural India to boost demand
for products. But for this to
happen, the mapping of all
players is a must and this is not
likely to happen in the near fu-
ture as the government does
not have the will to do it.
In the absence of govern-
ment relief and funding, the
next alternative is to arrange
more cash on the existing loans
through the financial institu-
tions. Again, not an easy job as
loans to such companies are
mostly given against property
(as collateral) because often
there isn’t a robust cash flow
analysis available. But in times
of pandemic, property values
have fallen and that inhibits
the extension of new loans.
Though, a credit guarantee by
the government may help, but
this may increase the debt in
the budget in the form of NPAs.
Therefore, in my opinion, as
India looks to shore up its econ-
omy, it is worth reflecting on
the other systemic actions that
are needed to shift towards a
more sustainable and resilient
economy. Firstly, it should In-
vest in sustainable Infrastruc-
ture which is an effective way
to boost economic activity and
create jobs. Secondly, Build the
resilience for the most vulner-
able. About 90% of India’s
workforce is informally em-
ployed. This group of popula-
tion is most vulnerable to eco-
nomic downs and requires a
greater hand holding to social
safety nets like insurance and
pension schemes. Unless the
strong and socialistic econom-
ic actions are introduced, its
unlikely to surface out this eco-
nomic tsunami.ut

In the absence of

t this point in
the pandemic,
thekeyquestion
is whether vac-
cine production
can be ramped up quickly
enoughtoallowmostpeople
to be vaccinated relatively
soon. But implicit in that
question is another: wheth-
er and under what circum-
stances it is appropriate to
suspend domestic and in-
ternationally agreed intel-
lectual-propertyrights.The
matterisbeingdiscussedin
the World Trade Organiza-
tion now that US President
Joe Biden’s administration
has surprisingly come out
in support of a COVID-19
waiver, exposing a rift be-
tween Western govern-
ments.
Most agree that if any
set of conditions justifies a
waiver, this pandemic sure-
ly meets them. The mil-
lions of lives threatened by
the virus ought to trigger a
shared sense of humanity
.
And vaccination is a public
good, because everyone’s
safety ultimately depends
on everyone else’s. In some
cases, governments have
co-invested with compa-
nies in vaccine develop-
ment, strengthening the
case for mandatory licens-
ing. But whatever we do to
provideitmustnotproduce
adverse or unintended con-
sequences that could im-
pair our responses to fu-
ture crises of this kind.
We need to start with a
basic question: would the
proposal under discussion
waive IP rights, or would it
simply allow for compul-
sory licensing, under
which the company retains
its IP rights and the right
to earn a return from
them? Of the two, compul-
sory licensing is prefera-
ble. By acknowledging that
the creator is entitled to a
return, it would minimize
the adverse effect on future
incentives.
Of course, an important
variable is what, exactly
, is
being licensed. Are we talk-
ingaboutthechemicalcom-
position of the drug itself,
ordoesthelicenseextendto
all of the technology em-
bedded in a scaled-up pro-
ductionprocess?Increasing
global production would
most likely require both.
Manufacturing capacity
is another significant vari-
able. How much is there
now, and how much more
would need to be built
quickly to ensure high-
quality output if IP is
transferred? Whatever the
precise answers, the point
is that even if the IP issue
can be resolved, manufac-
turing and distribution
will remain binding con-
straints, alongside a third
key variable: price.
The fairest way to think
about this is to base prices
on the per capita income of
the country whose govern-
ment is buying the vac-
cines. (Depending on their
mission, aid agencies and
nonprofits can further sub-
sidize purchases.) But
since discriminating be-
tween countries opens the
possibility that unscrupu-
lous entrepreneurs and
governmentsmaygamethe
system via trans-shipping,
an international institu-
tion like the United Na-
tions ideally would negoti-
ate for and buy large quan-
tities of vaccines for distri-
bution to countries below a
certain income level.
The COVID-19 Vaccine
Global Access (COVAX) fa-
cility, launched in 2020 by
the World Health Organiza-
tion, Gavi, the Vaccine Alli-
ance, and the Coalition for
Epidemic Preparedness In-
novations, is intended to do
this, with funding from ad-
vanced economies. It is a
good idea and should be
retained. But while it has
made progress in acquiring
and distributing vaccines,
it is underfunded and sub-
ject to the same supply
problems (vaccine nation-
alism, licensing require-
ments, and manufacturing
bottlenecks) as developing
countries typically face.

there, completely
.
Dhariwal spoke to
First India and said that
two new plants of 30-30
cubic meters and four
new plants of 48-48 cu-
bic meters are being set
up at the Medical Col-

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
f you find you are
struggling to man-
age your mental
health during the
coronavirus pan-
demic, you are not
alone. Social isola-
tion and days spent inside
are not splendid for mental
health, and many people
are suffering. Especially if
you are in quarantine
alone, you may be tender-
ing for love and a compan-
ion with whom you can
share your feelings.
Well, pets can be a great
source of companionship
when human contact is
lacking. Take some time
each day to cuddle or spend
time with your pet. Espe-
cially if you have a history
of depression or have been
to a depression treatment
centre, you may need to rely
on your pet for support dur-
ing isolation.
In a recent study, since
the outbreak of COVID-19,
there has been an unprece-
dented increase in animal
adoptions and purchases as
people seek animal com-
panionship to tackle feel-
ings of isolation and anxi-
ety
. At the same time, many
reports say that having a
pet has supported their
mental health.
Here are five benefits of
a pet that can help you dur-
ing the COVID-19 pandem-
ic:
1
Helps with bonding,
feelings of compan-
ionship: Companion
animals and pets can be
helpful during the novel
coronavirus-19 pandem-
ic. Interactions with
them and positive physi-
cal contact lead to a vari-
ety of physiological and
psychological benefits. It
also releases biochemi-
cals that can further
boost the immune sys-
tem and enhance health
and well-being.
2
They help us form
better relationships:
People often find it
safer and more comfort-
able to open and speak to
in the presence of an
animal. The impartial
and loving approach of
animals brings on feel-
ings of trust, calmness,
and well-being. Pets
make it easier for them
to readily speak about
emotional and personal
topics rather than sup-
pressing those thoughts
and emotions.
3
Helps reduce stress
anxiety: In this uncer-
tainty surrounding
where people are losing
their job, facing so many
hassles, people feel coro-
navirus anxiety and
stress. Luckily, pets can
help provide some relief.
Spend some time in pet-
ting, take a moment out
of your day to focus on
your pet and give your-
self a break from all
stressful and anxious
thoughts that may be
flooding your mind.
4
They help in morale-
boosting and moti-
vate us: Pets keep peo-
ple’s morale high and
encourage them to con-
tinue or seek treatment.
They also help to lower
fatigue in individuals
and improves their
mood. These individuals
tend to engage more in
positive and enhancing
behaviours, with lesser
destructive, aggressive,
and self-harm tenden-
cies.
5
They provide com-
pany and comfort in
the face of social iso-
lation: While we may
not be able to touch other
humans outside our
homes during social iso-
lation, our pets are safe
for a cuddle if we are
healthy. Hugging your
pet feels excellent, reduc-
es depression, and re-
leases feel-good hor-
mones. It can also help
you relax, ease tension,
and even relieve physical
pain. They allow an indi-
vidual to stay healthy
and happy in these un-
certain times.
While experts say the vi-
rus cannot be transmitted
from your pets, extra care
during the pandemic is rec-
ommended. Help your pet
practice social distancing
and not let them meet peo-
ple or others’ pets outside
your household. If you are
ill or have been diagnosed
with COVID-19, avoid, or
minimize contact with your
pets, if possible.
