Overview: With a population of 3,338,031 Mumbai accounts for 3.45 percent of the population of Maharashtra. 100.00 percent of the population lives in towns and cities. Scheduled castes and scheduled tribes form 204,135 and 6.12 percent of the population respectively. |
The three largest scheduled caste groups are Bhambi , Mahar and Meghval . The three largest scheduled tribe groups are Koli Mahadev , Gond Rajgond and Pardhi .
68.62 percent of the district’s population is in the working age group of 15-59 years. The district ranks 31 among 591 districts of India in terms of proportion of population in working age group (a higher rank reflects a good performance). An inclusive growth process and employment generation have been accorded high priority in the XIth five year plan. Specific action plans need to be tailored for every district depending on the size, level of urbanization and educational attainment of the workforce.
The larger the elderly population the greater would be the need for social support for the elderly. 7.83 percent of the district’s population is over the age of 59 years.
An often used indicator to capture the extent of discrimination against the girl child is the child sex ratio. In this district, the sex ratio, i.e. the number of girls per 1000 boys, among children in the age group 0-6 years is 921. The district ranks 414 among 591 districts of India (a higher rank reflects a good performance). Ideally the sex ratio at birth should be between 943 and 954 and can be used as a thumb rule to measure the extent of gender discrimination in the district. Addressing the issue of sex selective abortion and female infanticide needs to be given high priority in districts with a sex ratio far from the norm of 943 girls per 1000 boys.

Socio-Economic Status: One aspect of living conditions in the district is the type of dwelling that households reside in. percent of households live in a temporary structure while percent of households live in semi-permanent structure. The district ranks among districts of India in terms of percentage of household living a temporary structure (a higher rank reflects a poor performance). |
An indicator of the level of deprivation in the district is the proportion of households without any of the following: radio, television, telephone, bicycle, scooter, car or a bank account. 17.1 percentage of households do not have any of the above mentioned goods and services. The district ranks 585 among 593 districts of India , in this indicator (a higher rank reflects a good performance).
849,890 of household in this district have a bank account, a proxy for the extent of financial intermediation. The district ranks 585 among 593 districts of India in terms of extent of financial intermediation (a higher rank reflects a good performance).
Access to the outside world is important. Improved access and connectivity can contribute to improving livelihoods. As part of a poverty reduction strategy, the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, aims at improving connectivity in rural habitations. The district ranks , , among districts of India in terms of percentage of villages having paved approach road, bus services, and post, telegraph and telephone facility.

Education and Health Outcomes: District level estimates of incidence of poverty are not available. Instead, we can examine outcomes along the following non income dimensions of well being: education and health. It is not necessary that with a decline in incidence of poverty there would be an automatic improvement along these dimensions. The reason for this is that, |
“Poverty line derived from personal consumption patterns and levels do not take into account items of social consumption such as basic education and health, drinking water supply, sanitation, environmental standards, etc. in terms of normative requirements or effective access” (p.11 Government of India 1993).
|
|
Educational Attainment: The overall literacy rate in the district is 86.4. The male and female literacy rate are respectively 90.23, 81.38. The district ranks 23 and 19 among all districts of India in terms of male and female literacy (a higher rank reflects a good performance). However, the level of literacy does not reflect educational attainment. |
The total number of years of schooling that an Indian boy or girl can expect to receive in the future is only 9.8 years. Even this average is an overestimate because of grade repetition.
India has a relatively young population. It is important to invest in improving level of educational attainment. Over the next five years, a concerted effort needs to be made to improve the number of children finishing middle school. With 12.5 percent of its population completing middle school, Mumbai ranks 30 among 590 districts of India.
|
|
The Government of India’s avowed objective is to ensure that all children go to primary school. In the event that we do achieve this target, it will be important to ensure that every village also has a middle school and a secondary school. .

Reproductive Health: Of the estimated total of 536,000 maternal deaths worldwide, in 2005, India accounted for an estimated total of 117,000 maternal deaths. The probability that a 15-year-old Indian woman will die eventually from a maternal cause is 1 in 70 as compared to 1 in 1300 in China. The Maternal Mortality Ratio in India is estimated to be 45 per 100,000 births. |
The multiple factors that contribute to the unacceptably high number of maternal deaths are viz. prevalence of marriage below the legal age, inadequate antenatal and postnatal care, and absence of skilled personnel at the time of child birth.
In Mumbai, 1.4 percent of girls marry before the legal age of 18 years. In order to tackle the problem of child marriage, in addition to compulsory registration of marriages, information and education campaigns also need to be initiated in the district.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least four antenatal care visits throughout the pregnancy. It is widely accepted that the number of antenatal visits by a pregnant woman determines where the woman delivers her child. In Mumbai, 89 percent of women made at least 3 visits for antenatal care.
The more antenatal visits, the higher the chance of the birth occurring in a health facility or in the presence of a skilled personnel. In Mumbai, 91 percent of women delivered in an institutional facility. It is important to increase this average. It is estimated that 52 percent of current maternal deaths worldwide can be averted by providing access to essential obstetric care.
|
|
Awareness of HIV-AIDS: The proportion of men and women aware of HIV-AIDS was 96.6, 94.5 respectively. In terms of awareness of HIV-AIDS among men Mumbai ranks 59 among the 592 districts of India and ranks 41 in terms of awareness of HIV-AIDS among women. (Higher the Rank, laser the awareness about the HIV-AIDS). |
|
|
Child Health: In Mumbai 93.5 percentage of children, in the age group 12-13 months received full immunization while 1 did not receive any immunization. The district ranks 18 in terms of percentage of children receiving full immunization (a higher rank reflects a good performance) and ranks 487 in terms of percentage of children receiving no immunization (a higher rank reflects a poor performance). |
|
|
Rural Health Infrastructure: Of the villages, 0.0 percent have a primary health centre while 0.0 percent have a primary health sub centre. Mumbai ranks 592, 592 in terms of percentage of villages having a primary health centre and primary health sub centre. |
In order to improve reproductive and child health indicators it is necessary not only to ensure that 100 percent of villages have a primary health sub centre but adequate medical supplies are available in each centre.

Chandrayaan Mission – grabbing credit.
Advertising on the net is an inexpensive and effective way of carrying your message to a large number of people and political parties have discovered this fact only during this election. The BJP has had a start here since its Prime Ministerial candidate has been off the block earlier. For the last few days one can come across advertisements of the Congress party when one surfs the net. One of the achievements touted by it is the Chandrayaan mission to the moon the launch of which took place during the UPA regime.
India launched the spacecraft by a modified version of the PSLV C11 on 22 October 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh about 80 km north of Chennai at 06:22 IST. The mission was a major boost to India’s space program, as India competes with Asian nations China and Japan in exploring the Moon. The vehicle was successfully inserted into lunar orbit on 8 November 2008.
I wonder under whose advice the Congress party has projected this mission as one of its achievements.
The Chandrayaan mission was Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s vision. It was on August 15th the nation’s 56th Independence Day celebration in 2003 that Vajpayee had announced from the historic Red Fort: “Our country is now ready to fly high in the field of science. I am pleased to announce that India will send her own spacecraft to Moon by 2008. It is being named Chandrayaan-1”. In Sanskrit, “Chandrayaan” means “Moon Craft”. The announcement meant that the government had cleared the proposal made by a committee comprising some of the top scientific brains for India’s moon foray. At that particular point of time the ISRO said, “Today, India is confident of undertaking a complex space mission because of its indigenously developed launch vehicle and spacecraft capabilities. This mission will provide a unique opportunity for frontier scientific research.” “Chandrayaan-1 is expected to be the forerunner of more ambitious planetary missions in the years to come, including landing robots on the moon and visits by Indian spacecraft to other planets in the solar system.” It further added that “the spacecraft will initially be launched into a geo-synchronous transfer orbit, and subsequently manoeuvred into its final lunar orbit using its own propulsion system. The spacecraft is expected to be ready for launch by 2008”.
During the UPA regime the actual launch took place. At that time the BJP patriarch noted with great pleasure the successful launch of India’s first unmanned mission to the Moon. “I offer my hearty congratulations to Madhavan Nair, chairman of ISRO, and other scientists and engineers working on this mission on this historic success. They have worked relentlessly and with commendable fortitude to place an Indian spacecraft, carrying the Tricolour, on the trajectory of Moon,” Vajpayee said on that occasion.
The former PM said he was especially pleased that this project, which was planned by the NDA Government, had been brought to a successful fruition. “I had the honour of announcing it in my Independence Day address to the nation in 2003,” he recalled.
In his words, the mission to Moon was a stupendous achievement by India in the frontier area of space research. Moreover, he outlined, what was especially creditable is that “our achievement is the fruit of self-reliant efforts”. “I am sure that, other than the scientific knowledge that Chandrayaan-1 will garner, it will serve as a beacon of inspiration to the younger generation and as a stepping stone to other great feats by India in science and technology,” he said.
His announcement on the 15th of August 2003 was on the lines of President J.F.Kennedy’s vision for the American space program. Kennedy first announced the goal for landing a man on the Moon in speaking to a Joint Session of Congress on May 25, 1961, saying “First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him back safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.’
Kennedy later made a speech at Rice University on September 12, 1962, in which he said “No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.” “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.’ On July 20, 1969, almost six years after JFK’s death, Project Apollo’s goal was finally realized when men landed on the Moon. The President of the day did not try to take credit and say that it was his or his regime’s achievement.
The NREGS is a program of the UPA Government and nobody will grudge it for taking credit for the same. It is a good program and the UPA government deserves credit for launching it. However, it would have received greater encomiums if it had strengthened, the delivery mechanism for the scheme.
While the moon mission is not an achievement of any particular government or party, but of the whole nation, one should not forget the vision of Atal Behari Vajpayee and give due credit where it is due. It is so absurd that the UPA is taking credit for the same, that it might as well take credit for the National Highways program of the NDA and claim it as its own. It is another matter that the National Highways program has been shoddily implemented ever since the UPA came to power.

मुंबई के उत्तर भारतीय
बीजेपी को वोट देने के लिए मैं मुंबई के उत्तर भारतियों को समझा सकता हूँ .मेरे पास इसका एक तरीका है .मैंने एक उत्तर भारतीय जो ग़रीब है जब उससे जब बात की तो पता चला कि मुंबई के उत्तर भारतीय कांग्रेस को वोट करने जा रहे हैं .लेकिन तर्क द्वारा उसे जब यह समझाया कि उसे बीजेपी को वोट क्यों करना चाहिए तो वह मेरी बातों से सहमत हो गया और उसने आश्वासन दिया है कि जिस इलाके में वो रहता है उसके आस पास के लोगों को भी समझायेगा कि वो भी बीजेपी को वोट करे .अगर मेरे क्षॅत्रै का कोई नेता मुझसे संपर्क करता है और मेरे सलाह्नुसार campaign करता है तो उसे निश्चित ही उत्तर भारतीयों का वोट मिल सकता है .इस काम के लिए कृपया मुझसे इ-मेल द्वारा बीजेपी कार्यालय का कोई व्यक्ति संपर्क करे .
मुंबई के निम्न आय वर्ग और मजदूर वर्ग के उत्तर भारतीय बीजेपी को वोट करने नहीं जा रहे हैं . पारंपरिक रूप से जो लोग बीजेपी को वोट करते हैं कुछ संख्या हो सकती है .लेकिन अधीकांश उत्तर भारतीय जो निम्न आय वर्ग के हैं वो बीजेपी को वोट नहीं करेंगे .मुंबई बीजेपी नेताओं को इस विषय पर गंभीरता से सोचना चाहिए.अभी भी वक़्त है .जब मैंने इसका कारण पूछा तो उन लोगों ने शिव सेना के उत्तर भारतीय विरोध का हवाला दिया .
I want to join Mahesh Jethmalani’s campaign. I feel he is educated and will definately make a difference. I myself am a C.A. and would like to join his team. Please let me know
मुझे आज शिव सेना का प्रिंटेड प्रचार पत्र मिला जो कि मराठी भाषा में था .अतः बीजेपी से अनुरोध है कि वह अपने घटक दल से कहे कि हिंदी में भी अपना प्रचार सामग्री छाप कर लोगों को वितरित करे .क्योंकि बहुत से हिंदी भाषी मतदाता हैं जो मराठी नहीं समझते हैं .
Can India ever hold a mega sporting event?
The Indian Premier League as a concept has been a grand success. It has caught the imagination of the country and comes at a time when people were groaning from an overdose of politics from the news channels. It was with a tinge of sadness and a sense of loss that one received the news that it was being shifted to South Africa. It is really odd to watch Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Rajasthan, Punjab, Calcutta, competing from far away South Africa.
All of us know the sequence of events and the causes as to why the IPL was shifted out of the country. This decision to shift abroad has “almost clubbed” India with Pakistan (where the Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked) as an unsafe sporting venue. The Home Ministry’s refusal to assure security for the high-profile Twenty-20 league has given the country a bad name. Mr.Arun Jaitley was reflecting the views of most sports lovers when he said that “The Impression which has gone is that India is not a safe destination for sporting events. Country’s activities don’t come to a standstill merely because elections are being held”. In fact, Mr.Narendra Modi the Chief Minister of Gujarat went even further. He said “The reputation of India as a safe country in the world has been shattered today by the attitude adopted by the Central Government on the security issues of IPL. It has sent a direct signal that the Indian Government is bogged down by the terrorists’ threats. It will also send the message that India is an unsafe country. The decision of the UPA government lacks farsightedness,” adding that “now the hosting of Commonwealth Games in 2010 will also come under cloud”.
The Home Minister went on to comment that the IPL is a shrewd combination of Sports and Business and there was no need to add politics to it. However, there was a selective leak of a letter by the Gujarat State police chief S S Khandawala, to discredit Mr.Narendra Modi. Immediately the Congress spokesperson said, “If not Modi, at least his police officials are concerned about the security of the people”. Of course it is another matter that the letter was one of the earlier letters written to Gujarat Cricket Association President Narhari Amin seeking clarification of dates and not the final letter by the DGP.
Now comes the news that Australia will not send its Davis Cup team to India for the next month’s tie because of security concerns. Tennis Australia has taken this decision despite knowing, the country could now face a year-long ban and a substantial fine. The Davis Cup tie was to take place in Chennai’s Nungambakkam Stadium in May. This is the same venue where the ‘Chennai Open’ has been taking place for the last several years. Mr.Chidambaram’s colossal goof up and the direct consequence of his actions is the reason for this. The Australian Davis Cup captain John Fitzgerald’s words corroborate the charge that grave injustice has been done to the image of India as a sporting nation. “We cannot send the team. It would be irresponsible of us to send our players into an area of such high risk. Davis Cup is very important to us but some things are more important than tennis,” he said. The Australian press had this to say - security in the sub-continent has been called into question following the ambush of the Sri Lanka cricket team’s bus in Lahore, Pakistan, in March. The incident triggered concerns that sports could become a target for more attacks in South Asia.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India moved the Indian Premier League ‘Twenty-20’ to South Africa after the government said “providing security would be a problem due to clash of dates with the general election”! John Fitzgerald said he was angry with the International Tennis Federation’s decision that Chennai was a safe venue and pointed to events surrounding the election that suggested security forces were being stretched.
Fitzgerald added “It is just irresponsible. Surely some thought must be given to the players’ safety. I believe they say the elections are not a cause for concern, the IPL moving is not relevant and that an ATP tournament held in January shows it is safe to play in Chennai. So what about the fact that dozens of people are being killed along the campaign trail of the election? A train was hijacked this week, but that does not alter their thoughts? Did the IPL move for no reason?”
On Saturday, April 25th, All India Tennis Association lashed out at Australia for pulling out of next month’s Davis Cup tie against India, saying they have acted in an “arrogant” and “irresponsible” manner “by creating a situation solely out of their mind and not based on facts”. The Home Minister said on Television that the Australians have decided not to come because they are scared to lose. One may have opinions about the sportsman spirit of the Australians, but any sport enthusiast will not accuse the Australians for not having competitive spirit, and therefore, the Home Minister’s observation deserve to be rubbished. In a letter sent to AITA, Tennis Australia President Geoff Pollard said that it would be irresponsible of us to send our players into an area of such high risk.
The Home Minister by not being able to provide security to the IPL, allegedly because of the General Elections in India, has sent out a message to the world that India is incapable of holding international sporting events. The repercussions of this move will be felt for a long time to come. It will take even longer to remove the perception of India being a weak state. This is probably the first instance in the world where a domestic tournament is being shifted out somewhere else.
The biggest irony of it all is that the IPL has been moved to South Africa when that country, too, is going through its General elections.

Well The reason why BJP lost is due to Less PERCENTAGE OF VOTING , Hardly 30% of Voting in Major Cities like Mumbai & Delhi.
Well it gives us a lesson to learn that the Educated public though support BJP but why dont they come out for Voting on the Election Day, i see many of support for our PARTY but then why is it so, cause many havent Voted due to Names mIssing in Voting List,People were out on holidays etc.. but in the ASSEMBLY ELECTIONs if our PARTY has to win MAHARSAHTRA minimum 80% to 90% of People should come out for Voting then iam damn sure BJP will win with Huge margins of Vote,so we need to conduct meetings every 15 days or so & people must convince the People,so that Results favour us, cause if this Trend continues then it will be a difficult situation for our party.
So kindly convince all People in your OFFICES, AREAS, SOCIETY etc.. to ” VOTE FOR BJP ” .
Jai Hind- Jai Maharashtra.

Hi,
What i am observing from the day of election commencement,
1. BJP has got a huge support on internet. But at the same time they just support but at the time of voting most of them couldnot manage it just alike any other salaried personal. So in my opinion BJP should try to make election process remote voting compatible. there can be various ways to acomplish this like internet or postal…. i am damm sure this would increase 4-5% of total voting and if could grab 3-4%, it would really value added ….
2. All the electronic media is dominating BJP, so we need to focus on this area and should start couple of newspaper and news channel… This would help us to put our vision in front of people. What today is happening is people come to know only darkside of party and promote only good things about other parties.
I am sure you must have these on your agenda but still to jog your memory i am writing here.
Jay Hind- Jay Maharashtra

चुनौती महाराष्ट्र में …………
महाराष्ट्र में बीजेपी के सामने सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है एम एन एस जो सिर्फ बीजेपी और शिव सेना के वोट काटने का काम कर रही है .बीजेपी को इससे निपटना होगा . मेरी व्यक्तिगत राय तो यह है की बीजेपी -शिव सेना को एम एन एस के साथ चुनावी समझौता कर लेना चाहिए वर्ना कांग्रेस और एन सी पी की सरकार बनने के चांस ज्यादा बढ़ जाते हैं .दूसरी सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है मुंबई और मुंबई के आस पास के इलाकों में रहने वाले निम्न वर्ग और निम्न मध्यम आय वर्ग के उत्तर भारतीय जिन्होंने लोक सभा चुनाव में कांग्रेस को वोट किया था .बीजेपी को इन्हे भी पटाना होगा .
महाराष्ट्र में मुद्दों की कमी नहीं है पिछले दस सालों से बिजली और पानी की कमी से झूझ रहा महाराष्ट्र अब पतन की तरफ है . विदर्भ में हजारों किसानो ने आत्महत्या की है और यह सिलसिला आज भी जारी है . अभी तक महाराष्ट्र की कांग्रेस और एन सी पी की सरकार ने आत्मा हत्या रोकने के कोई ठोस उपाय नहीं किये हैं .किसानो की आत्महत्या का मुद्दा एक राजनीतिक मुद्दा है क्योंकि कांग्रेस की विफलता इसमे साफ़ दिखती है .किसी भी सरकार से इसका हल निकाला जाना बहुत जरुरी है .दस सालों से महाराष्ट्र की जनता ने देख लिया की कांग्रेस और एन सी पी की सरकार इस मामले में बिल्कुल ही असफल रही है .
महाराष्ट्र में विधान सभा चुनाव की तैय्यारी बीजेपी को जोर शोर से शुरू कर देनी चाहिए .
BJP has done a good thing by replacing Mr. Modi as incharge Maharashtra by Mr.Gopinath Munde. All the seats where Modi campaigned, BJP lost. BJP shall project grassroot leaders like Gopinath Munde and Eknath Khadase, rather than khaki chaddi (RSS) cadre. Advani and Modi are detasted in maharshtra (including BJP party members) and it’s not at all likely that people will all of a sudden start loving them.
Maharashtra desparately wants an alternative. but if Modi and advani campaign here BJP is going to lose.
