PROJECT
ABSTRACT: Communicable and endemic
water-borne and water related diseases are commonly found among rural and
tribal populations of Attappady and Wyanad regions of Kerala. Endemic
diseases like Goitre, Fluorosis etc. occur in geographic areas where soil,
water and food contain low or high levels of iodine, fluoride etc. The
main objective of the Project is to study the occurrence of endemic /
vector - borne diseases among the tribals of Attappady and Wyanad regions
with special reference to Fluorosis, Goitre, Malaria,Dengue fever and
Yellow fever. A detailed systematic survey was conducted in the tribal
inhabited areas of Attappady and Wyanad regions, to study their population
composition, life status, eductional, occupational and residential status.
Socio-economic survey was conducted by visiting various tribal hamlets.
Health camps were conducted at Attappady and Wyanad and treatment and
therapies were provided to the larger groups. Awareness camps were also
conducted to popularize preventive measures, to control endemic and
vector-borne water related diseases and low-cost treatment techniques and
hygiene.

PROJECT
ABSTRACT: Water samples from
selected water sources of all the districts were collected and subjected
to iodide analyses. Selected vegetable and fish samples were also analysed
for iodide content. From the analysis of iodide the total average intake
of iodide by a person from each district was found out. Based on the
iodide intake, a iodide map of Kerala showing the excess, normal and
deficient region as was prepared. The results of the analysis of water and
vegetables and fish samples showed that, iodide concentration is less then
10ug/litre in the districts of Pathanamthitta, Idukki, Wynad and Kannur.
The concentration of iodide is within the required limits in samples
collected from the coastal regions. So, the iodisation of edible salt need
not be in the same proportion in all the districts.

PROJECT ABSTRACT: Objectives: (1)to identify the rural poor and Ultra poor households
through participatory methods; (2) to prepare the profile of the ultra
poor population in the study villages; (3) to study the socio-economic
conditions of the sample households; (4) to analyse the food consumption
pattern, employment status, environmental conditions, and migratory
behavior of the sample population; (5) to assess the micro-nutrient
deficiency level through clinical examinations and arthropometric
assessment; and (6) to document the developmental programmes and suggest
intervention strategies for elimination of micro nutrient
malnutrition.
Methodology: Participatory
Rural Appraisal, Rapid Rural Appraisal, Anthropometric Measurements,
Clinical observations methodology are used to collect data.

PRESENT
STATUS: Completed: Major findings
and conclusions.1.the ultra poor households in the study villages were found to be 35.65% 2. the micronutrient malnutritious
incidences were fairly high among
the ultra poor population.

PROJECT
ABSTRACT: Objectives:
1). To workout the appropriate practices for the success of low till
systems; 2). To minimize the dependence on the use of inorganic
fertilizers; 3).To study the long-term impact of low till systems and
integrated nutrient management practices on soil fertility build up and
improvement in soil quality; and 4).To quantify the energy savings with
low till system and integrated nutrient management.
Methodology: Treatments: MainBlocks: 1. Low village; 2.
Conventional tillage including off-season tillage.
PRESENT
STATUS: on going.The project has been in progress for last three years. In
order to substitute costly fertiliser nutrients, reasonably through low
cost farm based organic resources, to protect the soil organic matter from
being decomposed by high intensity tillage, and to sequester C in the soil
in sorghum/green gram strip cropping, an experiment was initiated during
1998.

TITLE: Rural sanitation and health status-A comparative study of two villages of Jammu
district
PROJECT LEADER(S): Sharma, Reva
STARTING DATE: February 2001
DATE OF COMPLETION: July 2001
PROJECT ABSTRACT : Objectives: (1)To calculate the incidence of various communicable diseases in both the
villages for a period of one year in the family members particularly in
the age group of 0-5; (2)To calculate the duration of sickness in the
adult age group and thus the economic loss caused in terms of working days
lost due to illness or attending to illness; and (3)To compare the
mortality rates of both the villages.
Methodology : In order to capture the
impact of improved sanitation on
the overall, well being in general and improvement in health status, in particular, data were collected from the primary sources on
the basis of a field survey conducted with the help of a pre-tested
questionnaire.
Study Area: Nagbani, Falora and Ghari
Villages in J & K
PLANNED OUTPUT: Article and Report
PRESENT STATUS: The case study proved that there is a
meaningful relationship between sanitation and
the health status which are every
human beings concern. It has also established that in sanitary and unhygienic practices result in
illness which lead to loss of
productivity and thus the economic loss in terms of working days for the country as a
whole.
