India faces a high HIV epidemic, affecting the poor, despite improvements in awareness and education. Seasonal diseases and climate change pose additional health risks, exacerbated by air pollution and inadequate resources in low-income families. Education and economic empowerment, especially for women, are vital for societal betterment and reducing poverty.

2. HIV &AIDS
In India most of the people who get affected are the poor
section of the country. India has the world’s third-largest
HIV epidemic, with 2.1 million individuals infected.
If we compare it to our neighboring countries, India seems
to be improving. The reason for the improving graph is
people are getting aware of it and avoiding the situation.
But can we stop at this moment as the graph is improving?
The answer is NO. The awareness campaigns need to
happen frequently and educate people accordingly

3. Seasonal Diseases
If I say, these all can be a factor for getting the seasonal
disease. Yes, development is a major factor in climate
change. The most common diseases that are caused due to
air pollution are heart diseases, stroke, lung diseases and
acute lower respiratory infections in children. Not only
these diseases cold, flu, cholera, typhoid and others can be
a part of the seasonal disease.
This climate change results in a variety of monsoon
disorders, some of which are common during the rainy
season. Our immune system is weakened during the
monsoon season, which leads to an increase in water-borne
infections

4. Importance of Education
India has more uneducated people than anywhere else in
the world. The reason is In a wealthier home, this condition
has no impact on children’s reading or health. These “extra”
children are more likely to receive the bare minimum of
resources required to survive and develop. However, in
lower caste, rural, and poor households, inadequate
resources imply that having an extra child depletes the
resources available to all of the children in the family.
Reducing family size in poor backgrounds is losing
significantly bigger gains. That one thing that can change
their situation is Education

5. Economic Empowerment
So women need to come out of their houses, work or have
a small business, earn money, make decisions, invest in
health, educate their children, be part of family and society.
When everyone is equal and has the right to themselves,
then that leads to the betterment of society. Moreover, in
rural areas, people are not interested in getting an
education. They are interested in getting money which is a
preoccupied thought of our society. This can convert them
into slaves rather an educated people. When all these are
happening around us and we are not aware of any of these.
We need to educate people, get an awareness of the
situations in them, empower them, and make them self
independent
