&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
After Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan declared 2012 as the year of family planning, some district collectors seem to have tossed the rule book to the winds to meet their targets. Such has been the zeal among the officials to bring more and more people under the scalpel that they are luring and misguiding protected tribals with dwindling population into sterilization.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
From aanganwadi workers to tehsildars and village &#039;patwaris&#039;, everyone is out to lure tribals with monetary gain of Rs 1,100 as an incentive. The Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad on Friday threatened a state-wide protest if the government did not stop this programme and act against officials responsible for this outrage. For instance, Betul in southern MP has 10 development blocks of which six are tribal dominated. Two of these tribes, Gonds and Korkus, are designated &amp;quot;primitive&amp;quot;, whose numbers have dwindled by 11% over the last decade. Even these haven&#039;t been spared.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with this drive, DP Uike, the president of Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad, told TOI, &amp;quot;The numbers of both Gond and Korku tribes have gone down because of high rate of infant mortality among them. Most infants die before the age of five. These tribes are also affected by lack of medical facilities. Then why this family planning? Ninety percent of sterilisation in this district has been done on tribals.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
At this rate, Gonds and Korkus would soon become extinct, Uike said. &amp;quot;The government must earmark communities responsible for population explosion. Instead, the victims of sterilisation are those who are already fighting for their existence,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Repeated attempts to get a comment from district collector Chandrasekhar Borkar on phone did not elicit a response. &amp;quot;Tribals are poor and are exploited. For them Rs 1,100 is a lot of money. In Bhimpur block, the medical officers who achieved more than the sterilization target were awarded with Rs 25,000 each by the district administration,&amp;quot; said Uike. He added, &amp;quot;The same collectorate sent notices to 200 government employees in Amla block for under-achievement of sterilization numbers. The Adivasi Vikas Parishad and Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad have written to the CM. . If sterilisation is not stopped, we will go on a state-wide protest.&#039;&#039;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&#039;Nobody forced for FP operation&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh health minister Narottam Mishra said that nobody would be forced to undergo sterilization. &amp;quot;There is no question of any forcible sterilization or luring anybody to undergo family planning operation,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We have issued instructions to all concerned that no one is to be lured for sterilization. Districts collectors have been instructed against any such persuations,&amp;quot; he told TOI over telephone from Jabalpur.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
After Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan declared 2012 as the year of family planning, some district collectors seem to have tossed the rule book to the winds to meet their targets. Such has been the zeal among the officials to bring more and more people under the scalpel that they are luring and misguiding protected tribals with dwindling population into sterilization.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
From aanganwadi workers to tehsildars and village &#039;patwaris&#039;, everyone is out to lure tribals with monetary gain of Rs 1,100 as an incentive. The Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad on Friday threatened a state-wide protest if the government did not stop this programme and act against officials responsible for this outrage. For instance, Betul in southern MP has 10 development blocks of which six are tribal dominated. Two of these tribes, Gonds and Korkus, are designated &amp;quot;primitive&amp;quot;, whose numbers have dwindled by 11% over the last decade. Even these haven&#039;t been spared.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with this drive, DP Uike, the president of Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad, told TOI, &amp;quot;The numbers of both Gond and Korku tribes have gone down because of high rate of infant mortality among them. Most infants die before the age of five. These tribes are also affected by lack of medical facilities. Then why this family planning? Ninety percent of sterilisation in this district has been done on tribals.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
At this rate, Gonds and Korkus would soon become extinct, Uike said. &amp;quot;The government must earmark communities responsible for population explosion. Instead, the victims of sterilisation are those who are already fighting for their existence,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Repeated attempts to get a comment from district collector Chandrasekhar Borkar on phone did not elicit a response. &amp;quot;Tribals are poor and are exploited. For them Rs 1,100 is a lot of money. In Bhimpur block, the medical officers who achieved more than the sterilization target were awarded with Rs 25,000 each by the district administration,&amp;quot; said Uike. He added, &amp;quot;The same collectorate sent notices to 200 government employees in Amla block for under-achievement of sterilization numbers. The Adivasi Vikas Parishad and Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad have written to the CM. . If sterilisation is not stopped, we will go on a state-wide protest.&#039;&#039;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&#039;Nobody forced for FP operation&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh health minister Narottam Mishra said that nobody would be forced to undergo sterilization. &amp;quot;There is no question of any forcible sterilization or luring anybody to undergo family planning operation,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We have issued instructions to all concerned that no one is to be lured for sterilization. Districts collectors have been instructed against any such persuations,&amp;quot; he told TOI over telephone from Jabalpur.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
After Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan declared 2012 as the year of family planning, some district collectors seem to have tossed the rule book to the winds to meet their targets. Such has been the zeal among the officials to bring more and more people under the scalpel that they are luring and misguiding protected tribals with dwindling population into sterilization.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
From aanganwadi workers to tehsildars and village &#039;patwaris&#039;, everyone is out to lure tribals with monetary gain of Rs 1,100 as an incentive. The Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad on Friday threatened a state-wide protest if the government did not stop this programme and act against officials responsible for this outrage. For instance, Betul in southern MP has 10 development blocks of which six are tribal dominated. Two of these tribes, Gonds and Korkus, are designated &amp;quot;primitive&amp;quot;, whose numbers have dwindled by 11% over the last decade. Even these haven&#039;t been spared.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with this drive, DP Uike, the president of Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad, told TOI, &amp;quot;The numbers of both Gond and Korku tribes have gone down because of high rate of infant mortality among them. Most infants die before the age of five. These tribes are also affected by lack of medical facilities. Then why this family planning? Ninety percent of sterilisation in this district has been done on tribals.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
At this rate, Gonds and Korkus would soon become extinct, Uike said. &amp;quot;The government must earmark communities responsible for population explosion. Instead, the victims of sterilisation are those who are already fighting for their existence,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Repeated attempts to get a comment from district collector Chandrasekhar Borkar on phone did not elicit a response. &amp;quot;Tribals are poor and are exploited. For them Rs 1,100 is a lot of money. In Bhimpur block, the medical officers who achieved more than the sterilization target were awarded with Rs 25,000 each by the district administration,&amp;quot; said Uike. He added, &amp;quot;The same collectorate sent notices to 200 government employees in Amla block for under-achievement of sterilization numbers. The Adivasi Vikas Parishad and Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad have written to the CM. . If sterilisation is not stopped, we will go on a state-wide protest.&#039;&#039;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&#039;Nobody forced for FP operation&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh health minister Narottam Mishra said that nobody would be forced to undergo sterilization. &amp;quot;There is no question of any forcible sterilization or luring anybody to undergo family planning operation,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We have issued instructions to all concerned that no one is to be lured for sterilization. Districts collectors have been instructed against any such persuations,&amp;quot; he told TOI over telephone from Jabalpur.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
After Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan declared 2012 as the year of family planning, some district collectors seem to have tossed the rule book to the winds to meet their targets. Such has been the zeal among the officials to bring more and more people under the scalpel that they are luring and misguiding protected tribals with dwindling population into sterilization.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
From aanganwadi workers to tehsildars and village &#039;patwaris&#039;, everyone is out to lure tribals with monetary gain of Rs 1,100 as an incentive. The Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad on Friday threatened a state-wide protest if the government did not stop this programme and act against officials responsible for this outrage. For instance, Betul in southern MP has 10 development blocks of which six are tribal dominated. Two of these tribes, Gonds and Korkus, are designated &amp;quot;primitive&amp;quot;, whose numbers have dwindled by 11% over the last decade. Even these haven&#039;t been spared.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with this drive, DP Uike, the president of Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad, told TOI, &amp;quot;The numbers of both Gond and Korku tribes have gone down because of high rate of infant mortality among them. Most infants die before the age of five. These tribes are also affected by lack of medical facilities. Then why this family planning? Ninety percent of sterilisation in this district has been done on tribals.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
At this rate, Gonds and Korkus would soon become extinct, Uike said. &amp;quot;The government must earmark communities responsible for population explosion. Instead, the victims of sterilisation are those who are already fighting for their existence,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Repeated attempts to get a comment from district collector Chandrasekhar Borkar on phone did not elicit a response. &amp;quot;Tribals are poor and are exploited. For them Rs 1,100 is a lot of money. In Bhimpur block, the medical officers who achieved more than the sterilization target were awarded with Rs 25,000 each by the district administration,&amp;quot; said Uike. He added, &amp;quot;The same collectorate sent notices to 200 government employees in Amla block for under-achievement of sterilization numbers. The Adivasi Vikas Parishad and Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad have written to the CM. . If sterilisation is not stopped, we will go on a state-wide protest.&#039;&#039;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&#039;Nobody forced for FP operation&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh health minister Narottam Mishra said that nobody would be forced to undergo sterilization. &amp;quot;There is no question of any forcible sterilization or luring anybody to undergo family planning operation,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We have issued instructions to all concerned that no one is to be lured for sterilization. Districts collectors have been instructed against any such persuations,&amp;quot; he told TOI over telephone from Jabalpur.

Officials lure tribals into sterilization to meet target by Suchandana Gupta

After Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan declared 2012 as the year of family planning, some district collectors seem to have tossed the rule book to the winds to meet their targets. Such has been the zeal among the officials to bring more and more people under the scalpel that they are luring and misguiding protected tribals with dwindling population into sterilization. From aanganwadi workers to tehsildars and village 'patwaris', everyone is out to lure tribals with monetary gain of Rs 1,100 as an incentive. The Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad on Friday threatened a state-wide protest if the government did not stop this programme and act against officials responsible for this outrage. For instance, Betul in southern MP has 10 development blocks of which six are tribal dominated. Two of these tribes, Gonds and Korkus, are designated "primitive", whose numbers have dwindled by 11% over the last decade. Even these haven't been spared. Alarmed with this drive, DP Uike, the president of Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad, told TOI, "The numbers of both Gond and Korku tribes have gone down because of high rate of infant mortality among them. Most infants die before the age of five. These tribes are also affected by lack of medical facilities. Then why this family planning? Ninety percent of sterilisation in this district has been done on tribals." At this rate, Gonds and Korkus would soon become extinct, Uike said. "The government must earmark communities responsible for population explosion. Instead, the victims of sterilisation are those who are already fighting for their existence," he added. Repeated attempts to get a comment from district collector Chandrasekhar Borkar on phone did not elicit a response. "Tribals are poor and are exploited. For them Rs 1,100 is a lot of money. In Bhimpur block, the medical officers who achieved more than the sterilization target were awarded with Rs 25,000 each by the district administration," said Uike. He added, "The same collectorate sent notices to 200 government employees in Amla block for under-achievement of sterilization numbers. The Adivasi Vikas Parishad and Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad have written to the CM. . If sterilisation is not stopped, we will go on a state-wide protest.'' 'Nobody forced for FP operation' BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh health minister Narottam Mishra said that nobody would be forced to undergo sterilization. "There is no question of any forcible sterilization or luring anybody to undergo family planning operation," he said. "We have issued instructions to all concerned that no one is to be lured for sterilization. Districts collectors have been instructed against any such persuations," he told TOI over telephone from Jabalpur.
