Ensuring rural livelihood security in a sustainable manner is a crucial issue that is increasingly gaining ground in all poverty alleviation policy discourse in India. The viability of rural livelihoods is contingent upon the context of an area and the resultant access to adequate resources or capital assets. This paper examines the contextual factors and constraints impeding livelihoods in Mewat, a backward district in Haryana. The study builds on a referenced literature review, secondary data and the primary empirical data obtained through participatory livelihood analysis carried out in five selected villages. In doing so, the demographic characteristics, livelihood activities, asset portfolios and associated problems in respective villages have been assessed. The study locale is found to be beset by a plethora of impediments and characterised with very low capital asset endowments. The paper thus attempts to offer important insights into the main arenas of policy or project interventions for mitigation of distress and optimizing livelihood potential in the district.Keywords

Natural disasters have continued to take a toll on the lives and livelihoods of people since eons. The strongest tropical cyclone of 2011 named Thane, severely wreaked havoc in Cuddalore district in Tamil Nadu, causing extensive damage to cashew plantations and consequently disrupting the means of survival of several small and marginal farmers. The foregoing paper presents the case of such farmers in the Meliruppu village in Panruti Block of the said district. It endeavours to capture the post disaster livelihood insecurity among the cashew farming households and adoption of specific coping strategies to tide over the resultant distress. The study further contemplates suggestions for the effective recovery and resurrection of livelihoods of the affected populace.

Research studies on health and disease have been recurrently inclined towards demographic and medical perspectives. Lately the importance of 'emic' perspective has been realized in this field so as to understand from the viewpoints, perceptions and opinions of the concerned subjects. With the 'new sociology of childhood' emphasizing the agency of children, it is imperative to consider children's acuity and listen to their assertions in the matters that affect their life and living. The foregoing paper derives its stance from an interpretative research with Type 1 Diabetic children and features their perceptions related to ongoing health condition and treatment seeking, the stressors encountered, impact on their daily activities as well as coping patterns. Thirty children, aged 6-12 years, seeking treatment in a public hospital setting were enrolled for the study with due consent from the guardians and after seeking assent from children themselves. To obtain relevant data, child friendly methods such as storytelling and personalized informal interviews were used and the narratives obtained were analyzed and interpreted thematically. The findings ascertained that children were aware of their condition and found it highly disturbing and stressful. The most cited problems were restricted diet, daily multiple insulin injections and associated pain, episodes of hypoglycemia, constant fatigue, incessant parental vigil and missed school. Besides, it was noted that incongruity with distressed care givers negatively impacted children's own self esteem as well as treatment adherence. A repertorre of positive strategies such as learning to self administer insulin injections, maintaining self written journal of daily blood glucose levels, and self motivated observance of dietary and treatment regimen were also noted in a few children. The study purports engaging opportunities for diabetic children to express their views, integrating their perspectives in health cared delivery and a deliberate strategy to assist them tide over their condition.Keywords
