The state of fluoride in India
More than 1 lakh villages with high fluoride
it's heartening to see the interest being shown by the Telangana Government on providing safe drinking water to it's people through Mission Bhageeratha, on a total cost of 43791 crores and loans taken to the tune of 36000 crores. The newly formed sub-mission on arsenic and fluoride from the centre has sanctioned 1595 crores. with the sub mission paying 797.7 crores and asking the state to pay 797.7 crores on a 50-50 sharing.
But this; if you look at it, in terms of what's being provided by the centre is a mere first-aid to the state.. agreed that the sub- mission's role is only to supplement the State who are the real executors, but where is the rest of money that telangana has taken from 16 commercial banks, nabard, hudco, etc going to come from? the state is banking on revenue from ulb's but that dosent look promising.
It's here that the amplification of the centre's role in also helping the state in getting loans from multilateral agencies like world bank, and helping it with a loan structure can come in handy, beyond just supporting it with a token amount through the sub- mission !

Despite excessive rains, presence of safe water is still a major issue. This calls for a change in the strategy for conservation of water and it has to be at a local level with appropriate water harvesting techniques, if there has to be provision of safe water in such water quality affected regions

A Great presentation from an Independent Candidate in Waimakariki, New Zealand - Destiny Wiringi Upm. This is what ALL of Our Politicians SHOULD be doing - Putting Your People First - BEFORE Party/Government!
Artificial Fluoridation promoters aka the Government's Ministry of Health consider OUR Children's Teeth to be of more importance than OUR Children's Brain's!
How many Politicians will Inform Their People about the Real Harms and Risks of putting this Toxic Substance in Our Water? How many Politicians will Stand Up for Their People?
'Party Politics' are Corrupt and are ONLY Serving the Status Quo 'Agenda' that has been aggressively pushing Fluoridation for Decades and more recently for Mandatory Fluoridation of New Zealand.
If you know anyone in the Waimakariki electorate - Please Share this to them, let them know there is somebody that Will Stand Up for them!

People need to know that fluoride is classified as a "hazardous substance" and to poison our water supply with it makes no sense. We must have a choice in what medication goes into our body, otherwise, where does it stop???#destinyforwaimak #nuiteke #drfullovshet #fluoridefreeaotearoa #itsaneurotoxin #dontlistentothepropoganda
Nalgonda you are not alone! 4 years after a vision to link different departments in Nalgonda to integrate work on fluorosis in their work took shape, and 2 years after the Fluoride Network got itself into providing technical support to Nalgonda with some fantastic support coming in from UNICEF, DFMC Balasore in Orissa seems like it is finally catching up. These are exciting times for us in Orissa, a narrowing down of 3 most affected GP's already done and an elabotrate water testing excercise in villages in these GP's having been accomplished, the team of Ghanshyam Bhai and Khokhon Da are on the road in villages in these GP's to do PRA's in affected villages and know everything that needs to be known on the fluorosis situation..eating habits, impact on families, help available etc.
All of this is handy information from the ground on how things stand and is building up towards a possible dissemination in front of the district departments and stakeholders, coming up next!
