The health newsletter is very interesting. I am still going through the various articles in the newsletter. CSE is indeed doing excellent work on issues pertaining to social development. Health, education, employment and access to basic natural resources are the issues, which need to be given top priority. Please keep sending us the future issues.

Thank you for the regular updates that I have been receiving. Besides referring to articles by scholars from outside India, it would be appropriate to have articles from our scholars talking about Indian issues on subjects like malaria, HIV and kala-azar. However, CSE is providing an excellent service.

Kindly refer to your article — Product watch (One dose of life) dated March-April, 2005. The article says we were waiting for government approval. They did approve, and the vaccine was used in Bihar, west UP and Mumbai in the April NID. The operations went off very well. The vaccine will be used in a somewhat larger area in the May round.
