Continuity or Change: Leadership Discourse and Policy Analysis at the Helm of Reserve Bank of India
Authors: Sriram M S
Published: April 2022

Understanding the evolution of policy over long horizons is an interesting exercise. While it is possible to look at a policy approach ex-ante, many of the decisions of the policy makers are undertaken in response to an emerging situation and several times, there could be initiatives that seemingly have internal contradictions. Additionally, institutions like the Reserve Bank of India would have approaches institutionalised that shape the policy making and thoughts of the leaders at the helm of affairs. Understanding this process through chronological insights and seeing patterns is an exercise that this paper attempts. The paper looks at the speeches delivered by the Governors (and one Deputy Governor) of the RBI to find a pattern and meaning into the series of policy initiatives that the institution is undertaking. In looking at the patterns, the paper tries to build a narrative of an overarching concern that the leaders might have during their tenure. The paper picks up the speeches delivered by leaders at the helm of RBI from 2004 till 2018 and examines the policy discourse to understand the elements of continuity and change.
Emerging Market Sell-Offs: India and the World
Authors: Gupta Poonam , Jain Dhruv
Published: April 2022

Capital flows to emerging markets are generally volatile, resulting in periodic "sudden stop” episodes – when capital inflows dry up abruptly, with significant negative effects on the economy and on financial variables. This paper reviews India’s experience with capital flows. The relative volatility of different kinds of capital flows in India is similar to that in other emerging markets. Our analyses suggest putting in place a medium-term policy framework that includes sound fiscal balance, a sustainable current account deficit, an environment conducive to investment, an appropriate level of reserves, avoidance of excessive appreciation or volatility of the exchange rate (through the use of reserves and macroprudential policy) and prepares the banks and firms to handle greater exchange rate volatility. In addition, it would be good for India to change the capital flow mix toward FDI flows and find ways to diversify the investor base toward investors with a longer-term view. It would also be useful to eventually graduate from the emerging market asset class. Finally, adopting a clear communication strategy to interact smoothly and transparently with market participants – involving regularly reasserting the commitment to sound policies, and reminders of the resilient underlying fundamentals – are likely to be helpful in risk-off times.
A Brief Economic History of Swadeshi
Authors: Pai Nitin
Published: April 2022

This paper traces the history of the swadeshi idea from its origins to the present day, identifies its political trajectory, assesses its impact on the Indian economy and outlines how it could be interpreted in the context of an independent, liberal democratic republic. It shows that swadeshi has always been a political project cast in economic terms and its empirical track record is far less impressive than its exalted place in the popular narrative. It concludes by arguing that India’s national interest is better served by acquiring capability than self-reliance and most importantly, by embracing an open economy.
Shaping Narratives Through Selective Use of Numbers: A Covid-19 Case Study
Authors: Kataria Aarushi
Published: April 2022

In the period between March 2020 and May 2021, India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare produced 1,324 press releases, at an average of three per day. At different times, these press releases  provided different numbers relating to the COVID-19 crisis: number of cases, number of recoveries, number of deaths, quantity of medical supply, recovery rate, and case fatality rate. This paper analyses the content of the press releases and identifies patterns that correspond to  specific narratives such as hope, confidence, electoral emphasis, and deflection. The paper argues that the press releases served as a mechanism for the government to drive narratives in a manner that showed it in a favourable light, irrespective of the actual performance.
GST Unlocks Strong Revenue Potential of India’s North Eastern States
Authors: Nepram Damodar , Konsam James
Published: April 2022

The north eastern (NE) states have largely benefitted from the introduction of the goods and services tax (GST) in the country. Arunachal Pradesh witnessed the highest increase in tax collections in the country, while the performance of Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland was well above the national average. This can be attributed to three distinct reasons. First, with the shift from origin-based levy to destination-based taxation in inter-state sales of goods and services, these states collected much more revenues as they are predominantly consuming states. Second, GST being a value added tax has an inbuilt mechanism for higher tax compliance. All the NE states have witnessed higher revenues from SGST, a component of GST representing taxes collected within the state. Third, the central and the state governments have also encouraged tax payments indirectly by disseminating information on the new tax system. With economic growth picking up in the NE states, GST is likely to register a strong revenue performance in the future and help in much-needed resource mobilisation for the development of the region.
Securing the Future
Authors: Mukherji Arnab
Published: April 2022

COVID-19 has disrupted routine functioning of the economy and the delivery of welfare programs everywhere. Using the case of Karnataka, this paper document the size of the economic impact on both the state and its households, and the status of various child-specific schemes managed by the Government of Karnataka over 2020- 21. With shrinking household consumption and rising deficits of the state, there is need for operational focus on child development to ensure a healthy future for children in India. Using district level data from NFHS 5, this paper proposes a simple and easy- to-implement prioritization framework, which can be used to identify geographic focus for child development schemes in Karnataka, in order to address deficits that matter for the Global Hunger Index in a time of tightening budget constraints for both the state and households.
Bureaucratic Indecision and Risk Aversion in India
Authors: P Sneha , Sinha Neha , Varghese Ashwin , Durani Avanti , Patel Ayush
Published: April 2022

The Indian bureaucracy suffers from indecision and risk aversion, resulting in an inordinate focus on routine tasks, coordination failures, process overload, poor perception, motivational issues, and a deterioration in the quality of service delivery. We argue that bureaucratic indecision, in large part, is a form of rational self- preservation exercised by bureaucrats from the various legal and extra-legal risks to their person, careers and reputation. These risks originate from problems of organizational design, institutional norms, and other political factors. The research for this paper included a review of interdisciplinary literature on bureaucracy and policy decisions, combined with semi-structured interviews. We interviewed current and ex-bureaucrats from India and other Asian and African countries, political scientists, and other policy researchers. We also conducted a document analysis of historical and contemporary, administrative, and legal documents, including committee reports, acts and rules, annual reports, and other government publications. We summarise the evidence on factors such as penal transfers, overload, inadequate training, process accountability, contradictory rules, and political patronage.

Review article on “India – A Federal Union of States: Fault Lines, Challenges and Opportunities” by Madhav Godbole
The Taper This Time
Authors: Eichengreen Barry , Gupta Poonam , Choudhary Rishabh
Published: April 2022

On November 3, 2021, the Federal Open Market Committee announced that it would reduce the scale of its asset purchases by $15 billion a month starting immediately. Do emerging markets, such as India, need to prepare for a replay of the taper tantrum of 2013? We show that emerging markets, including India, have strengthened their external economic and financial positions since 2013. At the same time, fiscal deficits are much wider, and public debts are much heavier. As U.S. interest rates now begin moving up, servicing existing debts and preventing the debt-to-GDP ratio from rising still further will become more challenging. Either taxes have to be raised or public spending must be cut to generate additional revenues for debt servicing.

What Does Oil in Triple Digits Mean for India?
Authors: Chinoy Sajjid Z , Jain Toshi
Published: April 2022

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is expected to impact India’s economy through several channels but we posit first order impacts will emanate from higher crude prices. If crude prices were to average $100/barrel in 2022, they will constitute a discernible adverse terms of trade shock for India’s economy that could shave a percentage point off India’s growth, pressure inflation further and widen the current account deficit towards 3% of GDP. How should policy respond? A negative terms of trade shock would argue for a more depreciated equilibrium real effective exchange rate. Policymakers should let this adjustment gradually take place to enable the corresponding “expenditure switching” needed to bring external imbalances back to sustainable levels. A sustained supply shock will make the trade-off for monetary policy more acute, with downside risks to growth accompanied by upside risks to inflation expectations. While the 2022-23 Budget created buffers to protect against shocks, fiscal policy will face its own set of trade-offs in simultaneously attempting to accommodate the shock, support growth and preserve macroeconomic stability. Beyond the near term, policymakers must consider systematically hedging crude price imports in global markets to protect the economy from periods of outsized volatility, apart from the medium-term objective of reducing dependence on imported crude.
Size of Government in Kerala
Authors: Narayana Delampady
Published: April 2022

Kerala has devolved a large number of functions, funds and functionaries to the local governments. The state reports the highest number of local government functionaries per 1000 population among the Indian states. Adhering to the principle of subsidiarity would suggest that line departments at the state level reduce in size. The paper analyses the size of the state government in terms of employment, and in particular examines the efficiency of the Department of Agriculture by comparing the number of employees per unit area under cultivation in Kerala with that in Karnataka and Telangana. The findings are that Kerala reports 86 percent higher number of total employees per lakh population compared to Karnataka and about 25 percent higher than that in Telanagana. As regards the Department of Agriculture, while in Kerala an employee attends to 141 hectares, it is five times that area at 778 hectares in Telangana and ten times that area at 1425 hectares in Karnataka. The proportion of drivers, typists and clerks in the department in Kerala is also high. Running revenue and fiscal deficits and facing fiscal stress year after year for the last twenty years, where salary accounts for over 30% of the total revenue receipts, the state can aim for rationalization of its administration in order to have more resources for capital spending.
Urban Governance in India and China: A Comparative View
Authors: Vaddiraju Anil Kumar
Published: April 2022

The pace of urbanisation in India and China has, of late, been rapid. This raises concerns over urban governance in both countries. While urban governance in India is supposed to take place according to the 74th Amendment to the Constitution, in China, it is largely led, guided, and experimented upon by the Chinese Communist Party. With these aspects in view, this article looks at the extent to which urban governments in these countries have been moving from traditional government to network governance. What are the roles of state, civil society, and markets in the emerging scenario of urban governance so defined? The task of moving towards ‘governance’ is incomplete in both countries. While urban governance and urban civil societies are weak in India, markets are strong; whereas, in China, the urban government is strong while markets and civil society are weak. There is still a long way for both countries to go towards networked governance in urban areas.

Evaluation of Serum Levels of Interlukine-17A (IL-17A), Fibrinogen, and Red Distribution Width (RDW) in Patients with Coronary Artery Ectasia, Candidate for Coronary Angiography: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Shirani Shahin , Mohagheghi Dare Ranj Abbas , Hasansagha Zeynab
Published: April 2022

Background: Coronary stenosis and ectasia are cardiovascular diseases characterized by dysfunction of endothelial cells. Studies have shown that impaired blood flow due to inflammation and deposition in the endothelial cell wall can be effective in disease occurrence and progression. Although the etiologies of these diseases have not been identified accurately, it has been shown that inflammation and coagulation can be the main causes in these patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of fibrinogen, Interlukine-17A (IL-17A), and red distribution width (RDW) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and ectasia. Methods: In this study, 140 patients with CAD admitted to Shariati Hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran, were included from from Jun 2020 to October 2021. Based on the severity of CAD, the participants were divided into two equal groups (n = 70 in each) of mild CAD (patients with CAD less than 50%) and multi-vessels CAD (patients with more than 50% stenosis in coronary arteries) according to the number of involved vessels (one, two, or three). Then, 5 cc of peripheral blood was collected from each patient in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) containing tubes. IL-17A and fibrinogen were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, and RDW was calculated by cell counter. Results: The mean age of participants was 63.0 ± 11.0 years in the mild group (35% males vs. 65% females) and 60.1 ± 12.1 years in the multi-vessels group (28% males vs. 72% females). The results showed that IL-17A, fibrinogen, and RDW levels in patients with ectasia and multi-vessels group were significantly higher than those in patients without coronary ectasia and mild CAD, respectively (P-value = 0.01 for fibrinogen; P-value = 0.05 for IL-17A; and P-value = 0.03 for RDW). Conclusions: According to our results, identification and evaluation of fibrinogen and IL-17A, along with laboratory indices including RDW can be helpful in diagnosing high-risk individuals. Ectasia can be prevented, and it is possible to increase the patients’ survival through using some preventive and therapeutic strategies.
Bodies of Knowledge
Authors: Weiss Penny ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2022

I developed a first-day exercise for my interdisciplinary “Feminist Epistemology” class that calms students’ fears about what they imagine will be the unduly abstract (and perhaps burdensomely political) course content, and engages them in easy but revealing conversation about knowledge. Individually and then together, we explore metaphors and proverbs about knowing body parts and bodily images of knowledge that have the potential to teach us something about knowledge itself. From “the nose knows” to having “seminal ideas” to being a “birdbrain,” expressions reveal how we conceive of knowledge, how we value it, what threatens and safeguards it, and how it relates to identity.
Performance of Islamic Microfinance Institutions: Accounting for Well-Being
Authors: A.K Siti-Nabiha
Published: April 2022

Islamic micro-finance, despite being a small part of the Islamic finance industry, plays a significant role in poverty alleviation and financial inclusion activities. One of the key challenges facing Islamic micro-finance institutions (IMFIs) is the lack of measures of performance, which hinders the process of evaluating IMFIs’ performance and the dynamic growth of the micro-financing sector. Unlike the conventional financial sector, there have been few attempts to measure the performance of IMFIs. The knowledge of measures and determinants of success factors for IMFIs is limited and compounded by a lack of theoretical basis underpinning research in this area. This paper focuses on examining the performance measures of micro-financing institutions in Islamic micro-financing. The determination of IMFI success factors would assist in the external evaluation and internal improvements of IMFIs, which would contribute to a more dynamic micro-finance industry. Therefore, IMFIs should be evaluated not only on output and the outcome measures of both social and financial performance, but also the process and with a view of the entire value chain of financing, along with the internal process of fostering borrower cooperation to enable the achievement of well-being.
Effort and Prospective on Nuclear Security in ROK
Authors: Kim Jung Soo , Jung Myung-Tak , Kwon Kookheui , Lee Young Wook
Published: April 2022

As of July 2013, the Republic of Korea (ROK) has been operating a total of 23 nuclear power reactors at four sites with five new reactors under construction. In addition, the country has been planned to construct two more units at two candidate sites. But, at now, due to change the energy policy, only one candidate site has been constructed and one nuclear power plant has been decommissioned. Otherwise, ROK has also been exporting nuclear power plants to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and building a research reactor to Jordan. These performances have made the nation’s nuclear industry by far the fastest growing industry in the world. While Korea has focused on improvements in the field of nuclear safety (especially after the Fukushima accident), it continues to strengthen nuclear security as well. This was demonstrated when the country hosted the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit and in a speech made by nation’s president emphasizing the need for nuclear and cyber security during the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit (NSS). The paper examined the approaches leading to the establishment of the physical protection systems applied at the nuclear facilities in ROK based on CPPNM. Also, the paper will offer recommendations for further steps to improve the ROK’s existing nuclear security apparatus.
Addressing Underground, Unmanned Threats: A Case Study of GPR Detecting Illegal Objects at Nuclear Facilities and Enhancing Subterranean Physical Protection Systems
Authors: Sohel Md. Shamsul Huda , Khan Mohammad , Datta Debashis
Published: April 2022

In nuclear installations, any unmanned threat is unacceptable. Such threats are a major issue for the nuclear physical protection system (PPS). Although the PPS of a nuclear power plant (NPP) is well prepared to deal with threats above ground level, until now, a special PPS had never been developed for detecting and tackling underground threats. One example of such a threat is a weapon-carrying, unmanned object operated by remote. Using this technology, a terrorist could launch an attack and overcome security barriers. While a normal PPS would not detect the underground activities of a mobile object, a PPS using a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) could. Therefore, adopting GPR technology at nuclear installations would allow us to detect any illegal, unmanned intelligence object accessing an underground path and would strengthen the subterranean PPS.

Due to an increase in global nuclear security issues, there need to be improvements in human resources and security measures. The Republic of Indonesia is an archipelago country, which makes surveilling for nuclear security threats complicated. Recent radioactive material smuggling incidents proved that Indonesian police and security officers’ knowledge in nuclear security has been challenged and must be improved. In response, Universitas Gadjah Mada’s Nuclear Engineering Program composed a three-day pilot training program for local police and UGM's security officers in 2018. The objective of the training was to improve their capabilities in dealing with nuclear security issues around where they work and serve. Training materials were designed to introduce nuclear technology and provide the basic skills of handling nuclear security matters. The training was divided into 12 sessions, based on the needs stated by the Special Region of Yogyakarta's police chief. Lessons were delivered through traditional teaching, table-top exercises, exercises, and discussion. Fifteen-question pre-tests and post-tests were conducted to assess the officers’ knowledge of the training materials and the benefits of being trained. Based on the tests, we concluded that the participants’ understanding of nuclear security had improved. This increase in understanding was because the training materials fit their job needs, presented in various methods, and the participants’ awareness grew. It led to an increase in their awareness for securing the facilities utilizing radioactive sources in the Yogyakarta area. They said that the number of trainees in this event still does not meet the number of facilities that have to be secured. Therefore, the training should be carried out again and can be improved based on the participants' feedback. Furthermore, this training could be expanded and applied to the whole country.

As a potential functional and structural material, high-entropy metallic glasses have aroused tremendous research interest in condense matter physics and mechanics. The correlation between macroscopic mechanic properties and microstructure heterogeneity of high-entropy metallic glasses is one of the most important scientific issues in glassy solids. In the present research, Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 metallic glass and Pd20Pt20Cu20Ni20P20 high-entropy metallic glass are selected as the model alloys. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and stress relaxation are used to investigate the influences of temperature and physical aging on dynamic mechanical relaxation process and microstructure heterogeneity of the model alloys. The dynamic mechanical analysis results demonstrate that the Pd42.5Cu30Ni7.5P20 metallic glass and Pd20Pt20Cu20Ni20P20 high-entropy metallic glass both exhibit evident β relaxation process. In addition, the atomic mobility of model alloys is reduced in these processes, and the β relaxation shifts toward higher temperatures. In the stress relaxation process, the Gibbs free energy is reduced due to the high configurational entropy. This is the potential reason that high-entropy metallic glass possesses higher activation energy. In parallel, high-entropy metallic glass is more difficult to activate and needs to break through a higher energy barrier. With the increase of physical aging time, the flow unit in high-entropy metallic glass becomes smaller. This also benefits from the high-entropy effects that bring sluggish diffusion into high-entropy metallic glass. The change of activation volume under physical aging of high-entropy metallic glass is less sensitive to stress relaxation than that of metallic glass.

In many clinical applications, 3D mesh models of human anatomies are important tools for visualization, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Such 3D mesh models often have a high number of vertices to capture the complex shape, and processing these large meshes on readily available graphic cards can be a challenging task. To accommodate this, we present a sparse version of  MeshCNN called SparseMeshCNN, which can process meshes with more than 60 000 edges. We further show that adding non-local attention in the network can mitigate the small receptive field and improve the results. The developed methodology was applied to separate the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) from the Left Atrium (LA) on 3D mesh models constructed from medical  images, but the method is general and can be put to use in any application within mesh classification or segmentation where memory can be a concern.

Introduction: Complete Blood Count (CBC) analysis contain several parameters that are routinely investigated during admission. Of these parameters, Red-Cell Distribution Width (RDW), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) have been observed as independent risk factors for various systemic diseases. Aim: To compare the prognostic value of RDW, MPV, NLR with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score among sepsis survivors and non survivors. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted among 120 sepsis patients admitted in department of General Medicine and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a tertiary care and research center in Kolar, South India, for 18 months from January 2018 to July 2019. Patients information regarding age, gender, SOFA scores, and parameters like RDW, MPV, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) were recorded from the blood sample. SOFA score, RDW, NLR, and MPV levels were considered explanatory variables for sepsis patients' mortality. To test significance, independent t-test and Chi-square test were used. Correlation analysis was performed with the pearson correlation coefficient. SOFA score, RDW, MPV, and NLR were further analysed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). The level of significance was set at ≤0.05. coGuide software, V.1. was used for data analysis. Results: All 120 subjects were divided into two groups. Survivor’s group had 79 (65.8%) subjects, and 41 (34%) were in non-survivor’s groups. Most of the survivors were in the age group 60-79 years which were 29 (36.71%), whereas non survivors were 40-59 years which were 17 (41.46%). Maximum were males in both the groups. Fever was the most common presenting symptom in survivors, 62 (78.48%) and non survivors 31 (75.61%). The calculated Area Under Curve (AUC) for RDW was 0.973 with 90.24% sensitivity and 97.47% specificity. The AUC for MPV was 0.966 with 92.68% sensitivity and 97.47% specificity, and for NLR, it was 0.984 with 100% sensitivity and 89.87% specificity. The yielded AUC for SOFA score was 0.772 with 56.10% sensitivity and 89.87% specificity. Ventilator and ionotropic support were strongly associated between groups (p-value <0.001). There was a significant difference among survivors and non survivors for SOFA score (p-value <0.001), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, GCS, and investigations like RDW, NLR, and MPV (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrated a strong correlation between increased levels of RDW, NLR, MPV and mortality among sepsis patients and can be used as prognostic markers for mortality prediction in adult sepsis patients.

Introduction: Diarrhoea is one of the commonest opportunistic infections seen in the course of the HIV disease and is a cause of considerable morbidity and mortality. Protozoan intestinal infections constitute one of the most important ailments affecting these immune deficient groups. Aim: To evaluate modified acid-fast staining technique with modified safranin technique in detection of enteric coccidian parasites and its correlation with Cluster of Differentiation (CD4) cell counts. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was done for a period of 16 months (November 2015 to March 2017) was conducted in 200 Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive patients with diarrhoea in ABVIMS and Dr. RML hospital, Delhi, India. Three consecutive early morning stool samples (3-5 gm/3-5 mL) along with 3 mL venous blood in Becton Dickinson Ethylenediamine Tetra-Acetic Acid (BD EDTA) vial for CD4 cell estimation were collected. The smears were subjected to Kinyuon method and Modified Safranin Technique. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detection of Cryptosporidium antigen was also performed. All statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 16.1 software. Results: A total of 58 (29%) enteric coccidian parasites were detected. Isospora belli was the most common parasite in HIV positive patients followed by Cryptosporidium spp. The maximum parasitic isolation was in the patients with CD4 cell counts below 250 cells/μL. Conclusion: Routine screening of stool samples of HIV positive patients with diarrhoea should be undertaken for enteric coccidian parasites to prevent delay in diagnosis and prevention of morbidity and mortality associated with these infections.

Introduction: Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) is defined as infection that is acquired after 48 hours of admission in hospital for a reason other than that infection and the infection was neither present nor incubating at the time of admission. Device Associated Hospital Acquired Infections (DAHAIs) mainly Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI), Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) and Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) pose significant threat to patients associated with prolonged hospital stays, greater healthcare costs and increased mortality. Surveillance of Device Associated Infections (DAI) can reduce the incidence of Nosocomial Infections (NI) by as much as 32% and lead to reduced healthcare costs. Aim: To determine the microbiological profile of device associated HAI and to find the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolated organisms. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based crosssectional study conducted in the Department of Microbiology, from November 2015 to October 2017. The study was targeted at three common DAHAIs: CAUTI, CLABSI and VAP. Patients admitted to clinical wards with 48 hours of indwelling devices like urinary catheter, central line and with endotracheal intubation developing signs and symptoms of DAI were included in the study. Specimen was collected with all aseptic precautions. Samples were processed by standard bacteriological methods. Isolates obtained were characterised by biochemical methods. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were done by Kirby Bauer discdiffusion method. Total of 425 samples were included in the study of which 152 (35.76%) showed positive growth and in 273 (64.24%) samples culture was sterile. The samples were collected from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and various wards. The results were expressed in terms of mean, percentage and rate. Results: A CAUTI was the most common 53.28%, followed by VAP 37.51% and then CLABSI 9.21%. Escherichia coli was most commonly isolated organism 38 (23.45%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus 30 (18.51%). In CAUTI Escherichia coli (38.27%) was most commonly isolated and Acinetobacter baumannii (32.25%) was most commonly seen in VAP and in CLABSI Candida spp. (31.57%) was predominantly isolated. Conclusion: This study gave an insight into the incidence and prevalence of DAHAIs and helps in instituting various interventional strategies to prevent these infections.
