Health Policy In India (Mental) The Mental Health Act in India 2017 has been in force since May 2018. The act provides mental healthcare and services for anyone with mental illness and protects, promotes and fulfils the rights of such people to get proper health care and services. This Act is the successor of the Mental Health Act, 1987. The new health policy India lists out a bunch of new mental health standards: The Mental Health Act in India, 2017 decriminalizes the attempt to commit suicide. Subsequently, it makes sure that the affected person gets rehabilitation opportunities. If the affected person has the required knowledge, the act allows him/her to make decisions regarding their mental health. The Act bounds insurers to make provisions for medical insurance to treat mental illness the same as physical ailments. Furthermore, it keeps all the mental health patients at par to get healthcare and treatment from the government. Unlike the previous Mental Health Act 1987. The Mental Health Act in India has provisions for the registration of mental health institutions and pushes for the regulation of this sector. The provisions ask for setting up mental health institutions across the country so that no patient has to travel far. Coupled with creating a mental health review board that acts as a regulatory body. The Act restricts the use of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). It is used along with anaesthesia and muscle relaxants in emergencies. Hence, ECT is not a viable therapy for minors.

Features of Indian democracy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While there is no universally accepted definition of 'democracy', equality and freedom have both been identified as important characteristics of democracy since ancient time. These principles are reflected in all citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to legislative processes. For example, in a representative democracy, every vote has equal weight, no unreasonable restrictions can apply to anyone seeking to become a representative, and the freedom of its citizens is secured by legitimized rights and liberties which are generally protected by a constitution. According to some theories of democracy, popular sovereignty is the founding principle of such a system. However, the democratic principle has also been expressed as "the freedom to call something into being which did not exist before, which was not given… and which therefore, strictly speaking, could not be known." This type of freedom, which is connected to human "natality," or the capacity to begin anew, sees democracy as "not only a political system… [but] an ideal, an aspiration, really, intimately connected to and dependent upon a picture of what it is to be human-of what it is a human should be to be fully human."Many people use the term "democracy" as shorthand for liberal democracy, which may include elements such as political pluralism; equality before the law; the right to petition elected officials for redress of grievances; due process; civil liberties; human rights; and elements of civil society outside the government. In the United States, separation of powers is often cited as a central attribute, but in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the dominant principle is that of parliamentary sovereignty (whilst maintaining judicial independence). In other cases, "democracy" is used to mean direct democracy. Though the term "democracy" is typically used in the context of a political state, the principles are applicable to private organizations and other groups as well. Majority rule is often listed as a characteristic of democracy. However, it is also possible for a minority to be oppressed by a "tyranny of the majority" in the absence of governmental or constitutional protections of individual or group rights. An essential part of an "ideal" representative democracy is competitive elections that are fair both substantively and procedurally. Furthermore, freedom of political expression, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are considered to be essential, so that citizens are adequately informed and able to vote according to their own best interests as they see them. It has also been suggested that a basic feature of democracy is the capacity of individuals to participate freely and fully in the life of their society. With its emphasis on notions of social contract and the collective will of the people, democracy can also be characterized as a form of political collectivism because it is defined as a form of government in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives.

Who is the FORIEGN minister of India?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Shiv Shankar Menon, the Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan was appointed to the Foreign Secretary position on Thursday, surpassing 16 very important Indian Foreign Service representatives, including Secretary (East) Rajiv Sikri and Secretary (West) Shashi U. Tripathi - and two Ambassadors - T.C.A. Rangachari (Paris) and Shiv Shanker Mukherjee (Kathmandu).



Thus, he will assume Shyam Saran's office, who has been appointed as India's Special Envoy for negotiations that regard the Indo-US Nuclear Agreement, on October 1st. His term will last exactly 2 years and 10 months until July 31st 2009, a period in which he will have to change for the better all current diplomatic relations between India and other countries.

According to certain officials' statements, Saran had been asked by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh whether or not he desired an extension in his Foreign Secretary office, an aspect to which the latter answered positively. Saran asked for a fixed term of the extension, yet that could not be granted to him due to technical issues.

However, it has been commented upon the fact that the Indian government managed to score a double goal with the fashion in which it performed the appointments for Saran and Menon: while Menon would design the Indian foreign policy and take care of all the issues that come up in this field, Saran would act as the main character in the nuclear pact India signed with the United States.

As far as Menon and his expertise in this department are concerned, he does possess quite a large experience in this field, representing India to four countries, whose importance is great: Israel, Sri Lanka, China and Pakistan. However, this aspect has not been the one that got him the job of the new Foreign Secretary, but his office at the Department of Atomic Energy, as Adviser to the Atomic Energy Commission. Many have labeled such experience to be of extreme importance, given that India has become a member of the atomic energy realm with the signing of the Indian-US nuclear deal.

In universties/colleges the percentage of women enrollments has increased over the decades and this shows the change in the mind set of the parents in educating their female children.This could bring up positive vibes in the vision of shaping new India.

Why do you need political parties?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Currently the Democratic and Republican parties are the two major parties, and the main survivors from a multitude of past political parties. The Democrats are considered to be left of center (liberal) whereas the Republicans are considered to be right of center (conservative). There are no other major parties simply because no other party has gained enough support or organization to be able to succeed at elections. Also, the way the laws are written and the parties are divided out, changes would be necessary for other parties to become larger and more viable.

There are also minor parties such as Libertarian, Independent, and several others.
