NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\nHINDU NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\n01\nNEWS CLIPPING\nRising child leprosy cases challenge India's 2027 goal\nHINDU NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\n02\nWhy in News?\nIndia reported 3,832 new leprosy cases among children in 2025-26, far above the National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) target of 2,000.\nOf these, 37 children had Grade-2 Disability (G2D) at diagnosis, indicating delayed detection and continuing transmission.\nTOPIC 1\nLeprosy: Key Data & Child Cases\nHINDU NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\n03\nKey Data\n• Total new leprosy cases (2025-26): 91,783\n• Child cases: 3,832\n• Child cases with G2D: 37\n• Prevalence rate: 0.56 per 10,000 population\n• Total new cases with G2D: 1,945, or 2.12% of new cases\n• National G2D rate: 1.34 per million\n• NLEP target: below 1 per million\n• India reported the highest number of new leprosy cases globally.\nWhy Child Cases Matter\nAccording to WHO:\n• New cases among children below 15 years indicate recent/ongoing transmission.\n• Grade-2 Disability at diagnosis indicates late detection.\n• Disability among newly detected children suggests both ongoing transmission and delays in diagnosis.\nThus, continued child cases are a challenge to India's goal of interrupting leprosy transmission.\nTOPIC 1\nLeprosy: Strategy, Global Context & Basics\nHINDU NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\n04\nNational Strategic Plan for Leprosy 2023-27\nGoal: Interrupt leprosy transmission at the district level by 2027.\nA district is considered to have interrupted transmission when it reports zero new indigenous child cases for five consecutive years.\nMajor NLEP objectives:\n• Zero disability among newly detected child cases\n• National G2D rate of less than 1 per million population\n• Strengthen early detection and treatment\n2026-27 projections: child cases - 1,000; G2D rate - 0.5 per million.\nGlobal Scenario & High-Burden Areas\nWHO data show that India, Brazil and Indonesia remain major global leprosy centres.\n• India: 91,783 cases\n• Brazil: 22,901\n• Indonesia: 16,292\nTogether, they accounted for 78.3% of globally reported new cases.\nDistricts with prevalence above 1 case per 10,000 population include Chhattisgarh - 23 districts; Jharkhand - 21; Maharashtra - 18; Odisha - 18; Madhya Pradesh - 10.\nGovernment Strategy & About Leprosy\nNLEP focuses on active case detection, household/contact surveys, focused detection campaigns, special interventions in high-endemic and hard-to-reach areas, early diagnosis and treatment, and reduction of stigma and discrimination.\nAbout Leprosy: Also called Hansen's disease; mainly caused by Mycobacterium leprae; a chronic bacterial infectious disease; primarily affects skin and peripheral nerves; transmission mainly occurs through prolonged, close contact with an untreated patient; curable through multidrug therapy (MDT).\nNEWS CLIPPING\nIndia's river interlinks may create invasive species “highways”\nHINDU NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\n05\nWhy in News?\nA recent study by ATREE, Bengaluru, published in Scientific Reports, warns that India's National River-Linking Project (NRLP) could create “ecological highways”.\nThese could allow invasive alien species and aquatic pathogens to spread into ecologically sensitive river basins.\nTOPIC 2\nNational River-Linking Project: Key Facts & Concerns\nHINDU NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS 04,05-10-2026\n06\nNational River-Linking Project: Key Facts\n• Proposes to link 37 major river basins.\n• Could redistribute about 174 billion cubic metres of water from so-called “surplus” to “deficit” basins.\n• Envisages generation of around 34,000 MW of power.\n• Objective: address regional water shortages and improve water availability.\nMajor Environmental Concerns\nRiver-linking can affect:\n• Downstream river flows\n• Sediment transport\n• Floodplains and deltas\n• Aquatic habitats\n• Fish migration\n• Ecological connectivity\nThe classification of river basins as “surplus” and “deficit” may also overlook seasonal and year-to-year variation in river flows.\nTOP","cbCaipKtzTypi3tV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipKtzTypi3tV","pptx",5050563,26,"English","# News Clipping\n## Leprosy: Key Data & Child Cases\n## Leprosy: Strategy, Global Context &
