  According to data from the  cancer registry, 8,00,000  new instances of cancer are anticipated in India each year. Only 20% of Indians nationwide have health insurance.  Over 80% of Indians  are still without health insurance, some of whom may not be aware that they are eligible for government-sponsored insurance.    Apart from cancer, there are other chronic diseases like arthritis, stroke, asthma, heart disease and others that can break a patient's hopes to get cured. Living with  chronic diseases  can be depressing in itself especially when a patient has to stay isolated. But the problems with chronic diseases just do not end here. Following specific routines and diets, and undergoing  prolonged, rigorous treatments  that are pretty expensive that add to the burden of chronic diseases.    Many a time, a person's entire life savings might get used to afford the prolonged treatment of chronic illnesses. Health insurance...

  November 19 holds a special significance as it is marked as International Men’s Day. The day celebrates the presence of men around the world and appreciates their efforts that impact each of our lives. The entire month of November is also called ‘Movember’ where we focus on men’s health, improving gender relations and empowering men to overcome their problems. It is essential that a balance between genders be maintained and adhering to a man’s well being should not take a backseat amongst the quest of other prevalent issues. Masculinity has various notions attached to it on a family and community level. From time immemorial, for all the right reasons, we attach certain stereotypes to gender with the objective of smooth and organized functioning of a system. While it helps in the working of the society and shaping one's personality in a certain way, it also has its own limitations when it makes a person live inside the box of stereotypes. Men who do not follow the norms set by soc...

  India is one of the most ancient countries in the Asian continent with a strong traditional base. Even though it has seen a lot of changes in its religious practices, we still stand as the proud flag bearers of our beliefs and mythology. India has gone through major changes in the field of adoption as well. Adoption is the establishment of a parent-child relationship through a legal and social process other than the birth process. It is a process by which a child of one set of parents becomes the child of another set of parents or parent. Earlier, adoption did not give any legal and legitimate status to an adopted child equal to that of a biological, legitimate child. Later, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children Act of 2006) cleared the issue, where adoption was defined as the process through which the adopted child is permanently separated from the biological parents and becomes the legitimate child of the adoptive parents with all rights, privileges and responsi...

  Adoption can be defined in various ways through different perspectives. Most simply put, adoption is a legal process in which the rights and responsibilities of a child are transferred from biological parents to the adoptive parents. It is a means to create a family, provide safety, love, care and material needs to someone. You may adopt someone who does not have a parent or someone whose parents are incapable of taking care of their child. In any of the conditions, adoption is about the welfare of the child in the picture. In the process of adoption, every person involved faces challenges. But the most unstable ones are those faced by the child himself/herself. They have a lot of dilemmas in their mind which needs to be dealt with patiently. The new parent child relationship requires delicate nurturing and persistent efforts in helping the child bond, build trust and adapt to a new home environment. Adoption makes families go through a long process of acceptance but it is all wo...
