The document discusses a proposed solution to provide social welfare benefits to informal sector workers in India. Over 94% of India's workforce is in the unorganized sector but only about 7% have any social security. The proposed solution has several steps: 1) proper publicity and registration of informal workers through technology and random checks, 2) categorizing workers by sector and dealing with sector-specific issues, and 3) providing benefits and regulating the system through local complaint forums. Challenges include finding volunteers, implementing technology, and funding, but can be addressed through partnerships and existing government resources.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Manthan theme :-
Protecting the vulnerable:
providing social welfare to
informal sector workers
• Siddharth Kumar
• Vivek Sahu
• Mohd. Irshan
• Gautam Singh
• Satyam Parashar
2. Problem Statement:
Over 94% of India’s working population is part
of the unorganised sector created 57% of the
Indian Net Domestic Product in 2006, about 9
fold less per worker than the organized
According to the NCEUS, only about 7% of
the total workforce in India has any form of
social security.
Although there is variation, the percentage of
unorganized labor in Indian states can go as
high as 90%
3. Proper Publicity (preferably 6
months) prior to Registration
Registration through proper
technology(Online)
Random Checking for true
registration
Mild Punishment for those
found guilty(Monetary
Punishment)
Harsh Punishment to those
found guilty(Monetary +
Imprisonment)
A Complaint forum will be set up
to regulate and filter the
list,headed in hierarchical order
by District Body, State Body and
Central Body.
The body will take strict against
defaulters
9/6/2013
The body will be set up at local
level. The body can have
members from police and local
panchayati raj body.
The members will have a span
of 6 months and members will be
selected by rotation policy.
The people in the list will be
categorized Issues of each sector
will be dealt specifically
Classification of Central
government scheme
Common Issues like educating
people about their own sector,
reducing temporary jobs, would be
taken care of, shifting to better paid
work within occupation.
4. 9/6/2013
• Publicity of such registration. For its full effect people should know about this. And
those who have an eye for fake registration to avail benefits will also be warned
through these ads. Also it will be clearly mentioned in every advertisement who all
are eligible to this registration. This eligibility will be on the criteria of income, basic
amenities and standard of living. If someone does not qualify he/she will be clearly
advised NOT TO COME. Or else strict actions are obvious.
• audio visual assistance- most impactful way
• newspapers, magazines, posters, news, MEDIA, Bollywood.
First step:
• What will be the questions??
• Which sector? Income details? Proofs? Employers and employee details? Thorough
questions investigating their work? Problem you face in your work? Education?
Family details? Official documents for identity? Wealth? Contact details?
Second step: Registration(1)
First solution : the main one!
Proper registration that identifies the right people to be helped.
The GENUINE NEEDY PEOPLE!!!!
HOW??
5. THIRD MOVE
Forwarding their cards and UIN through
posts. Publicise the general schemes as
well as sector based schemes that we will
be providing them with.
Benefits will be told. Schemes will be
explained audio visually. Important
schedules will be circulated. The general
body as well as specific bodies will focus
upon the solutions.
Once we identify the right mob and they
are made aware of their rights and benefits
to be provided, implementation workload
reduces
9/6/2013
After getting the
answers….
Organising the data
collected.
Division of sectors
Specialising expert committee for
each sector and problems
concerning that sector.
Few other steps…
Random checking of 5% families increase
seriousness .Publicising So that no. of
useless entries in second step reduces.
Investigating 5% is a pre thought event.
This serves two way purpose, surfaces
some fake entries and sends a message to
others to opt out of the further steps of
registration if they intended to gain
benefits without belonging to needy
group. If caught after second step, a harsh
action will be taken.
THIS IS EXCLUSION STEP TO IDENTIFY THE
REAL INFORMAL SECTOR.
Fear, strictest actions and its publicity,
checking of data will help us doing so. In
this step they are just asked to report their
registration details to ensure that they are
not in the excluded. In between the two
steps, we require a mixture of volunteers’
input and technology to check the
relevant data (those concerning the
eligibility of registrations). Finally what we
have after second step is more or less the
true and needy informal sector
REDUCTION IN
ENTRIES AFTER
SECOND STEP
6. 9/6/2013
• Once schemes are finalised local
government should be aware of this
functioning and should take up the
responsibilities of delivering them to
the registered families in their locality.
If needed a government body further
down should be made to ensure
proper functioning and reduce
workload.
• Online records will be maintained of
the services provided and services
delivered.
• The registered people will be made
skilled educated in their respective
departments.
• Apart from this we can also try to
make them educated enough in
computers so that they can handle
their accounts hence make the system
easier. More and more people learning
this easier it becomes for government
and people to avail the service which
is our prime concern.
• Apart from this, a complaint body will
also be set up to ensure the
complaints against fake registrations.
Key features: anonymity, strict
response.
1) permanent contracts
2) regular days and hours of
work
3) wage payments and higher
wages
4) opportunities to shift to
better-paid work within
occupation
1) more regular work
2) higher wages
3) skills training: masonry, carpentry,
and other construction skills
4) safety regulations
5) accident insurance and workers’
compensation
6) ID cards
7) registers or other proof of days of
work.
Construction Workers:
7. 9/6/2013
• regular, secure, and enforceable work orders
• regular and timely payments
• piece rates that are equivalent to minimum
wages
• occupational health and safety measures
• capital to improve their workspace (often
their home) and upgrade their equipment
• basic infrastructural services – water,
electricity, and sanitation – to improve their
homes-as-workplaces
• secure vending sites
• access to capital on fair terms: a loan
product tailored to their daily need for
working capital
• bargaining power with wholesale traders
• infrastructure services at vending sites:
shelter, water, sanitation
• license to sell and identity cards
• freedom from harassment, evictions, and
bribes
• positive public image
LEGAL RECOGNITION AND POSITIVE IMAGE AS WASTE PICKERS
• They are not formalised which is making their work highly
inefficient.
• A proper formalisation and recognition will surely help increase
their efficiency.
• To make them a permanent employee, they will be provided
with proper equipment (as in the case of coolie) making them
4th class permanent employee(as in the case of coolie).
• They will be taught the importance of cleanliness (hence their
job), and risks involved into this.
8. 9/7/2013
Stakeholder(s) involved at each step
Volunteers, local government, NGOs, policy makers, police, National
bodies for implementation of scheme, Employers,sponsers, ad
making companies, actors volunteering for the causes, technicians.
Leveraging existing government infrastructure
A majority of present government schemes, policies are helpful
to reduce the workload. National old age pension scheme,
national family benefit scheme, national maternity benefit,
mahatma Gandhi bunker bima yojana, health insurance
scheme for handloom weaver, etc. local government,
panchayati raj system, AADHAR card
Financial and human resources required at each step
6 month prior publicity, warnings : we need audio visual assistance, as
this is the most impactful way of conveying message. A good number of
creative tech team, various means through which we circulate this, ad
companies play a role, actors if willing can be contacted. Papers
magazines, posters, all means are to be covered. Media help is must.
9. 9/6/2013
Criteria to measure the impact of the solution and its scalability :
Aware ness amongst the public.
About the registration and its implementation. Its benefits.
The reduction in fake registrations also implies the successful implementation
People feedback
Sustainability of the solution
It is successful OBVIOUSLY!!
Why? Because not being able to identify was our major issue. And we have put
forward a solution for that. It requires a deal of dedicated volunteers and
technology. Though difficult but are still the two abundant resources.
Appropriate monitoring mechanisms
A body that looks after the complaint forum. And its proper functioning.
Maintaining its strictness. There is a advising committee for each step that should
crystal clear with the solution and hence be able guide others in case of any doubt.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT. CENTRAL GOVERNTMENT are major players in this.
10. 9/6/2013
Finding the volunteers. Implementation of technology.
Funding.
Getting the people informed about this move, taking care
of internal government issues,
not being able to satisfy the needs of some sectors, Electricity,
paper wastage, technology availability,
readily available government schemes, and its right and
efficient implementation.
Challenges
• Tighter integration with formal
education, advertising campaigns to
get volunteers, funding is not a very
big problem since this is a economic
and political solution. Only area is
technology.
• And getting more and more
sponsors will be a very good answer.
• Govt internal issues are to be
handled with dedication and
volunteering. Government should be
ready with the schemes
Means to mitigate the
identified challenges
