Claim: India has validated elimination of maternal and neo-natal tetanus in may 2015, before the global target of December 2015. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2015-02-03): Maternal and neonatal tetanus elimination: from protecting women and newborns to protecting all [...] Abstract: A total of 35 of the 59 countries that had not eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) as a public health problem in 1999 have since achieved the MNT-elimination goal. Neonatal tetanus deaths have decreased globally from 200,000 in 2000 to 49,000 in 2013. This is the result of increased immunization coverage with tetanus toxoid-containing vaccines among pregnant women, improved access to skilled birth attendance during delivery, and targeted campaigns with these vaccines for women of reproductive age in high-risk areas. In the process, inequities have been reduced, private–public partnerships fostered, and innovations triggered. However, lack of funding, poor accessibility to some areas, suboptimal surveillance, and a perceived low priority for the disease are among the main obstacles. To ensure MNT elimination is sustained, countries must build and maintain strong routine programs that reach people with vaccination and with clean deliveries. This should also be an opportunity to shift programs into preventing tetanus among all people. Regular assessments, and where needed appropriate action, are key to prevent increases in MNT incidence over time, especially in areas that are at higher risk. [...] In order to accelerate progress, the WHO, UNICEF, and UNFPA relaunched in 1999 the "Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination" initiative with a focus on 57 priority countries that had not yet eliminated MNT.4 Due to geopolitical divisions in 2002 and 2011, two more countries (Timor-Leste and South Sudan) were added to the list, thus totaling 59 priority countries.

Evidence (2016-07-25): In the year 2000, WHO, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) partnered to re-launch their efforts to achieve the goal of neonatal tetanus elimination. As neonatal tetanus depends mainly on tetanus immunization of the mother during pregnancy, the goal of elimination of maternal tetanus was also added to this initiative which was rechristened "Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination Program" (MNTE), and year 2005 was set as the cut-off year to achieve this goal [3]. However, 19 countries are yet to achieve this goal [4]. India was one of the last few countries to be declared free of maternal and neonatal tetanus on 15th May, 2015 [5]. [...] reduction) [13]. India was declared free of maternal and neonatal tetanus on 15th May, 2015. Andhra Pradesh was the first, and Nagaland the last Indian state to achieve the elimination goal [3]. Various factors contributed to its early elimination from Andhra Pradesh, much before the rest of India [14]. Tetanus toxoid immunization to all pregnant women was started in 1979 in the State, as compared to 1983 in rest of the country. Cash incentives were given to cover the costs associated with institutional deliveries, and there was a high political commitment for the cause, leading to increased recruitment of auxiliary nurse midwife (ANMs). Also, there was an increase in village-level promotional material on vaccination, and 24-hour service provided in most peripheral health centers (PHCs).

Evidence (2016-09-07): New Delhi: India officially received certificates from World Health Organisation (WHO), declaring the country yaws and maternal and neonatal tetanus free. [...] India is the first country to be officially acknowledged as being yaws-free. India was validated for maternal and neonatal tetanus elimination in April 2015, much ahead of the global target date of December 2015. The elimination of tetanus as a public health problem means that in India, the annual rate of maternal and neonatal tetanus is now less than 1 per 1000 live births.

Evidence (2018-04-08): <p class="title">The latest budgetary allocation of Rs 1,290 crore for the National Bamboo Mission (NBM) is a significant step to improve the country's bamboo economy, which was so far shackled by legal and regulatory restrictions. In December 2017, the government, in an amendment to the Indian Forest Act, (IFA), 1927, exempted bamboo grown in non-forest areas from definition as a tree. Bamboo, though taxonomically a grass, was legally defined as a 'tree' under the IFA. The twin objectives of the latest amendment aim to promote bamboo cultivation in non-forest areas in order to increase rural incomes and expand the country's green cover. As a result, this dispenses with the requirement to obtain felling/transit permit for commercial use of bamboo and would transform bamboo cultivation and bamboo economy.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Bamboo was perceived all along as a wild growth in forest areas and not as a cultivated crop that could be harnessed for profit. Commercial cultivation of bamboo will replace wood as the material of choice for building houses. Success on this score will help stop felling trees, which would otherwise be used as timber, and save the environment from further loss of tree cover.

Evidence (2018-02-05): Budget 2018: In Union Budget 2018, presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley last week, the government has allocated a whopping Rs 1,290 crore to promote the bamboo sector. "Bamboo is ‘Green Gold’. We removed bamboo grown outside forest areas from the definition of trees. Now, I propose to launch a Restructured National Bamboo Mission with an outlay of Rs 1290 crore to promote bamboo sector in a holistic manner," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said. Notably, the northeast part of India grows 67% of India’s bamboo. The strategic importance of this mission cannot be undermined. The allocation of Rs. 1,290 crore for a restructured National Bamboo Mission (NBM) has raised hopes for a range of bamboo-based industries — from food processing to construction. According to the government’s website, the mission envisages promoting holistic growth of bamboo sector by adopting area-based, regionally differentiated strategy and to increase the area under bamboo cultivation and marketing. "Under the Mission, steps have been taken to increase the availability of quality planting material by supporting the setting up of new nurseries and strengthening of existing ones. To address forward integration, the Mission is taking steps to strengthen marketing of bamboo products, especially those of handicraft items," says the website.

Evidence (2018-02-07): Lack of clarity about the manner of disbursal of the Rs 1,290 crore outlay announced in Budget 2018 is making bamboo farmers and other players skeptical about the revival of the sector that has been long ignored. The rural economy has been given a boost with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s allocation for a Restructured National Bamboo Mission. The National Bamboo Mission is a wholly-sponsored central scheme. There is a tinge of skepticism in the people for whom the allocation has been announced. Though the Budget has allocated a total outlay of Rs 1,290 crore under the revised bamboo mission, the money is to be paid over a three-year period. "On an average, Rs 430 crore will be spent annually. The big challenge this poses is to know how the money will be disbursed, who will qualify for it, and how can people apply for it," says Kedar Krushna Panda, assistant vice president, ILFS, in-charge of Tripura Bamboo Mission. Panda says the government has to give more clarity on how farmers can apply for the funds.
