Answer 2

Explanation:

Although malaria was once nearly eradicated in India, it returned to the country with a vengeance in the late 1970s. Today, malaria and other vector-borne diseases are the most widespread cause of death, disability and economic loss in India especially among the poor who have limited access to timely and effective treatment. Malaria also contributes to maternal deaths, stillbirths, and low birth weight in infants as young children and pregnant women have little or no immunity to the disease. Moreover, a severe and often fatal form of malaria that accounts for almost all malaria-related deaths - Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) – has been rising rapidly in India since the 1980s.

In 2009, India’s public health system reported around 1.5 million malaria cases. About half of them were caused by the deadly P. falciparum parasite. However, the actual number of those afflicted with malaria is much higher as a large proportion of fever patients do not avail of government health services, preferring to seek private health care instead; hence, their numbers are not recorded. Given this, some analysts estimate that the total number of malaria cases in India could well range between 60-75 million each year.

The most malaria-prone areas in India are also among its poorest. While malaria is now on the rise in urban India, nearly half of all malaria cases are reported from Orissa, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh - which have sizeable tribal populations living in the remote rural areas – as well as West Bengal. The remoteness of many malaria endemic districts poses a particular challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Government Policy Evolves

In 1953, the Government of India launched the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) with a focus on indoor residual spraying of DDT. Within five years, the program helped to dramatically reduce the annual incidence of malaria. Encouraged by this, a more ambitious National Malaria Eradication Programme (NMEP) was launched in 1958. This further reduced the number of malaria cases and eliminated deaths from the disease. After 1967, however, a sense of complacency, combined with the mosquito’s resistance to insecticides and the parasite’s growing resistance to antimalarial drugs, led to a resurgence of the disease countrywide.

In 1997, the Government of India shifted its focus from the eradication of malaria to the control of the disease and switched from the blanket spraying of insecticides to selective spraying indoors. In 2003, malaria control was integrated with other vector borne diseases under the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) as all such diseases share common control strategies such as chemical controls (e.g. indoor residual spraying), environmental management, biological control (e.g. larvivorous fish), and personal protection strategies (e.g. insecticide treated bed-nets).

In 2005, the Government also launched the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), one of the thrusts of which is the control of vector-borne diseases including malaria.
