Some positive aspects of healthcare in India are:
(a) India has a good number of doctors, clinics and hospitals. It is among the largest producers of doctors.
(b) Healthcare facilities have grown substantially over the years. The number of hospitals grew from
11,174 in 1991 to 18,218 in 2000.
(c) India gets a large number of medical tourists from several countries. They come for treatment in some of the world famous hospitals in India.
(d) India is the fourth largest producers of medicines in the world and also a large exporter of medicines.

1. Unisexuality, dichogamy, prepotency, heteromorphy and herkogamy are the outbreeding devices. 

2. Unisexuality : The plants bear either male or female flowers. Due to unisexual nature, self-pollination is avoided. Plants are either dioecious, e.g. Papaya or monoecious, e.g. maize. 

3. Heteromorphy : In same plants different types of flowers are produced. In these flowers, stigmas and anthers are situated at different levels. There is heterostyly and heteroanthy. This prevents self-pollination e.g. Primrose. 

4. Herkogamy : In bisexual flowers we may come across mechanical device to prevent self-pollination. Natural physical barrier avoids contact of pollens with stigma. E.g. Calotropis where pollinia are situated below the stigma.

We should try to conserve (to keep safe) forest in the following ways: 

1. Plant more and more trees means continuous plantation. 

2. Appropriate management should be done to protect forests from fire. 

3. Appropriate measures should be taken to protect plants/trees from various types of diseases. 

4. Public awareness programmers should be enhanced,, evoked and inspired through different activities. 

5. Strict action should be initiated against those who are indulged in illegal cutting of forests. 6. We should ensure participation of each and everyone to conserve forest. 

7. The laws in-acted by Government, courts and constitutional bodies should be strictly implemented. 

8. Wildlife conservation and forest conservation week should be arranged with enthusiasm.

The main features of public health system are:
(a) It provides quality healthcare services either free or at a low cost so that even the poor can seek treatment.
(b) It takes action to prevent the spread of diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, jaundice, etc. Time to time it takes up a campaign to see that mosquitoes do not breed in water-coders, roof tops etc.
(c) This system is available in both rural and urban areas.

We can say without any doubt that adequate healthcare is not available to all in our country. The reason is that private services are increasing but public services are not. As a result privateservices are mainly available to people. But these services are concentrated in urban areas and are very expensive. Poor people hardly afford them whenever there is illness in the family, they either borrow money or sell some of their possessions to pay for the expenses. Thus, medical expenses cause great hardship for the poor. Therefore, they avoid to go to a doctor unless it is very urgent. It has been found that women are not taken to a doctor in a prompt manner. Their health concerns are easily ignored. Many tribal areas have few health centres and they do not run properly.

The Kerala government made some major changes in the state in 1996. It gave 40% of the entire state budget to panchayats so that they could plan and provide for their requirements. This made it possible for a village to make sure that proper planning was done for water, food, women’s development and education. In this way water supply schemes were checked, the working of schools and anganwadis was ensured and specific problems of the village were taken up. Health centres were also improved. Inspite of all these efforts, some problems such as shortage of medicines, insufficient hospital beds, not enough doctors still exist and these are needed to be solved.

(a) Public health services are run by the government while private health services are managed by the individuals or companies.
(b) Public health services provide health care facilities either free or at a low cost so that even the poor can seek treatment easily. Thus, money-making is not a goal of public health services. So far private health services are concerned, they are run mainly for profit. They usually prescribe expensive medicines. It is common for private doctors to prescribe unnecessary medicines, injections or saline bottles when tablets or simple medicines can suffice.
(c) Public health services are found both in rural and urban areas. But private health services are concentrated in urban areas.
(d) We often find huge rush at the government hospitals. People have to wait for hours in a long queue. But private hospitals are maintained properly. People don’t face such long queues there.

Improvement in water and sanitation can control numerous diseases especially water borne diseases. There are several diseases that spread through contaminated water, for example, cholera, malaria, jaundice, typhoid, diarrhea, dysentery, etc. 

By ensuring that clean safe water is available to all, such diseases can be prevented. 

Examples - 

• Regular checks of water coolers, roof tops and wherever the water is stagnant should be conducted in every house. These checks could prevent mosquito breeding and could save many lives. 
• The government should check the quality of water provided at regular intervals. 
• Proper checks on waste disposal and sewerage treatment should be ensured. 
• People should be educated on the consequences of the consumption and use of contaminated water. That way, the diseases can be controlled.

The advantages of forests are: 

1. Forests provide various types of wood for domestic, commercial and industrial use. 

2. We obtain medicines from herbs and important commercial forest products Such as Ruber, Wax, Bamboo, Grasses, Fodder, Catechu and Resins etc. 

3. Forests reduce sound and other types of pollution. 

4. Forests are the best habitat for animals and birds and many other organisms. 

5. Forests increase natural beauty.

6. Maintain moisture content of the air.

7. Increase fertility of the soil. 

8. They help in increase ground water table and soil moisture content. 

9. Prevents soil erosion.

10.Forests provide life giving oxygen, which makes our environment clean.

Coasta Rica is a country in North America. It is considered to be one of the healthiest
countries in the countinent. The coasta Rican govt, gave much importance to the health of its citizens. It took an important decision and decided not to have an army. In this way it saved money and began to spend this money on health, education and other basic needs of the people. The costa Rican government believes that a country has to be healthy for its development and pays a sincere attention to the health of its people. The Costa Rican government provides all the basic services and amenities to all the people of the country. It pro vides clean drinking water, sanitation, nutrition and housing. Health education has been made an important part of the education and at all levels students are provided knowledge about health. The Costa Rican approach towards health is praiseworthy and inspiring.

Laws of static friction :

1. First law : The limiting force of static friction (F_L) is directly proportional to the normal reaction (N) between the two surfaces in contact.

F_L ∝ N

∴ F_L = µ_sN

where, µ_s = constant called coefficient of static friction.

2. Second law : The limiting force of friction is independent of the apparent area between the surfaces in contact, so long as the normal reaction remains the same.

3. Third law : The limiting force of friction depends upon materials in contact and the nature of their surfaces.

Laws of kinetic friction :

1. First law : The force of kinetic friction (Fk) is directly proportional to the normal reaction (N) between two surfaces in contact.

F_k ∝ N

∴ F_k = µ_kN

where, µ_k = constant called coefficient of kinetic friction.

2. Second law : Force of kinetic friction is independent of shape and apparent area of the surfaces in contact. 

3. Third law : Force of kinetic friction depends upon the nature and material of the surfaces in contact. 

4. Fourth law : The magnitude of the force of kinetic friction is independent of the relative velocity between the object and the surface provided that the relative velocity is neither too large nor too small.

Advantages of friction :

1. We can walk due to friction between ground and feet. 

2. We can hold object in hand due to static friction. 

3. Brakes of vehicles work due to friction; hence we can reduce speed or stop vehicles. 

4. Climbing on a tree is possible due to friction.
