¶1.  Summary:  This week the ESTH office met with representatives of 
the Wildlife Protection Society of India regarding a wildlife crime 
workshop; met with the Nature Publishing Group to discuss the launch 
of a web portal dedicated to Indian science; and noted the Delhi 
government's push to implement CNG for public transportation in the 
National Capital Region; funding agreements between the World Bank 
and the GOI on child and reproductive health, tuberculosis, and 
delivery of health services; and a proposal to include Hepatitis B 
vaccination under the National Immunization Program as well as the

¶2.  SciOff and SciFSN along with Public Affairs met with the 
Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI) to finalize the budget 
for the upcoming Wildlife Crime Workshop to be held in Ranthambore 
National Park November 4-6.  The WPSI grant proposal was also 
finalized and is currently being reviewed by Public Affairs.

¶3.  SciOff and SciFSN met with Jaishree Srinivasan of Nature 
Publishing Group (NPG) to discuss a web portal set to be launched by 
NPG bringing together current information on Indian science 
including reporting on the latest research as well as recommended 
scientific papers.  The pre-release mock-up of the portal looks very 
good and we expect it to be very useful to anyone interested in 
Indian science.  The portal is expected to go live in mid-October.

¶4.  Addressing a National Capital Region Planning Board meeting, 
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit pressed neighboring states to 
follow New Delhi's lead by mandating CNG in all public 
transportation within the NCR.  She also urged the neighboring 
states to collaborate on infrastructure improvements based on a 
public-private participation model in waste disposal, power 
generation, water management, and transport.

¶5.  Rotary International has conferred this year's Polio Eradication 
Champion Award on India's Union Minister for Health & Family 
Welfare, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss.  The award was given in recognition 
of Dr. Ramadoss' efforts in providing support to polio eradication 
programs in India.  Past recipients of the award include former 
President Clinton, former UK Prime Ministers John Major and Tony 
Blair, and former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. 
 
¶6.  The GOI proposes to include hepatitis B vaccination under the 
National Immunization Program.  This is expected to reduce chronic 
hepatitis B infections by an estimated 1.5 million and deaths due to 
hepatitis B by 200,000.  According to the GOI, the country would 
need approximately 100 million doses to vaccinate all infants which 
are well within India's capacity of 516 million doses per annum. 
 
¶7.  The GOI has signed three credit agreements with the World Bank 
which will provide financial assistance of USD 671.83 million to 
 
NEW DELHI 00003907  002.4 OF 002 
 
 
three health sector projects - the Reproductive and Child Health 
Project Phase-II (RCH-II; USD 360 million), the Second National 
Tuberculosis Control Project (TB-II; USD 170 million) and the 
Karnataka Health System Development and Reform Project (USD 141.83 
million).  The RCH-II project aims to reduce total fertility rate, 
infant mortality rate and the maternal mortality ratio nationwide. 
The TB-II project will implement the existing DOTS (Directly 
Observed Treatment, Short-course) strategy as well as scale up 
state-level intermediate referral laboratories and obtain greater 
participation from NGOs and the private sector.  The objective of 
the Karnataka Health System Development and Reform Project is to 
increase utilization of essential curative and public health 
services, particularly in underserved areas and among vulnerable 
groups. 
 
¶8.  An Indian public awareness campaign designed to encourage the 
use of condoms with the slogan "Condom Bindaas Bol" ("Say Condoms 
Freely") has won this year's UN Grand Award - a public relations 
award jointly sponsored by the UN Department of Public Information 
and the International Public Relations Association.  The campaign, 
designed to overturn a decline in condom use in eight states in 
northern India, involved the joint efforts of PSP-One, a USAID 
project, and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.
