Transfer of Knowledge to Society:

Knowledge is an important resource for the sustenance of our society. Science is an avenue to explore and produce this knowledge, whereas technology applies this knowledge generated by science to real-life problems. Science contributed vastly to the benefit of society by increasing life expectancy, combating diseases, saving lives, improving the quality of life, etc.

India has made considerable progress in Science & Technology with the advent of its prestigious institutions like IITs, IISc etc and its young demographic population. India produces 3rd highest number of PhDs in science and engineering next only to China and the USA. But this potential scientific knowledge still needs to be transferred to society through various avenues to be utilised for the welfare of the people.

In line with this, the Department of Science & Technology through its Ministry of Science of Technology has released the Scientific Social Responsibility Guidelines. This is a framework to facilitate the integration of science and technology into society. These guidelines emphasize the moral obligation of the scientific community to share the fruits of knowledge with various stakeholders and play an active role in the equitable distribution of knowledge.

Once upon a time, in a sprawling metropolis – a liftman (resident of a slum) had severe cough from weeks and went on taking medicines from local doctors or quacks. Scared of losing his job, he didn’t tell about it to anyone. As he was on medication under local doctor without proper diagnosis, his undiagnosed TB turned into MDR (Multi-drug resistant) TB. Later, this Tuberculosis spread among the people who used to use the lift that he operated. One undiagnosed case led to many others. This is not a tale out of any story book; but the reality that exists across urban areas in our country.

Recently I got an opportunity to visit Jharkhand, which made me nostalgic for my school days. The state is known for its exclusive reservoir of mineral resources, picturesque landscape, and of course home to a high concentration of tribal population. Though industrialization started in this area even before independence and contributed to the economy of the nation, the tribal population of Jharkhand remained untouched by the industrial revolution. Resulting in unequal distribution of resources, poverty, and low literacy rates. Even after being carved out as a separate state in the year 2000, it remains far behind in the literacy rate and women are the hardest hit due to a lack of educational opportunities in remote areas, naxalism, trafficking, and early marriage.  If we look into the statistics the national average for female literacy was 68.4%, whereas, for the state of Jharkhand, it was 59%, only slightly higher than Bihar and Rajasthan. The percentage of women having 10 or more years of schooling has also been at its lowest, i.e., 28.7%.

When it comes to monitoring and evaluation (M&E), technology plays a significant role. More than anybody else, a researcher like me who began their work before 2000 can only understand this. Forget about applications; we didn’t have computers to handle and analyse data in our offices back then. I was sharing with my colleague yesterday how I would transport the completed paper questionnaires to the data entry operator’s office in Delhi’s freezing weather on my scooter. I had almost decided to quit my job and leave Delhi (Dilli ki sardi!).

The journey of DI started in a small corner of our living room, with a desk and chair sponsored by my father, furnishings, and stationaries supported by my wife (also one of the co-founders of DI), and lots of blessings from my mother. We started with a dream to become a credible source of evidence creation for effective decision-making in the social development sector, contributing to changing the lives of people. The second and equally important mission is of creating leaders of tomorrow, thereby generating wisdom in the field of research, monitoring, and evaluation [Refer to the Mission Statement of DevInsights: https://devinsights.co.in/overview/].

Starting conversations on Female Genital Mutilation - DevInsights

Here are some statements for you, which ones did you think these were true? FGM is a religious obligation. NO, IT IS NOT. FGM performed by a professional health care provider does not risk harm.

What exactly is FGM? The abbreviation for Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting, FGM/C as defined by WHO, can be understood to include all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, and also constitutes any other injury to the genital organs of females caused by non-medical reasons. It is often a misunderstood and broad range of practices affecting more than 200 million girls and women, concentrated in prevalence in around 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It is not just a one-time practice that results in excessive bleeding, problems in urination, and even death but is also associated with long-term consequences leading to the development of cysts and infections, complicated child birth, and furthermore even an added risk of death of the newborn.
