This PSA emphasis on the habit of saving water for the future.

A Radio Jingle describing the importance of washing hands before eating, touching utensils.'Always wash your dirty hands' is something what this song urges. It appeals to the people to wash hands before eating, touching utensils and after coming back from loo. 

Rahul Bose urges people to Make Noise for the Millennium Development Goals. With only five years left until the 2015 deadline to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called on world leaders to attend a summit in New York on 20-22 September 2010 to accelerate progress towards the MDGs.

This is an audio clip that can be used by you to mobilise people to join the STAND UP AND TAKE ACTION 2009. On October 16, 17 and 18 this year, people all over the world will take action to remind world leaders to invest in people first: in education, health,green jobs and infrastructure, sustainable agriculture and enterprise and in enabling greater representation for women and the socially excluded in all sectors.

Water pollution is a silent crisis affecting millions of people worldwide, says Rohini Nilekani, Chairperson and founder of Arghyam. What is needed at this hour of crisis is to revive local water wisdom to counter droughts, understand the critical role of water as the base of the economy, and find ways to achieve ecological sanitation in India

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today called for increased investment in a plant breeding technique that could bolster efforts aimed at pulling millions of people out of the hunger trap. IAEA scientists use radiation to produce improved high-yielding plants that adapt to harsh climate conditions such as drought or flood, or that are resistant to certain diseases and insect pests. Called mutation induction, the technique is safe, proven and cost-effective. Asia is the continent that has fully implemented this technology. Over 1,000 new varieties of major staple crops enhance rural income, improve human nutrition and contribute to environmentally sustainable food security in Asia, where mutation techniques are widely used in plant breeding. Pierre Lagoda, the Head of the IAEA’s Plant Breeding and Genetics Section, discusses the importance of this technology in Asia.

Chittaranjan Yajnik is the director of the Diabetes Unit at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Pune, India. He was recently in Vienna, Austria where he took part in an expert meeting dedicated to the use of nuclear techniques in the study of human nutrition. The meeting was organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which operates projects on the uses of nuclear science in the field of human health. The Vienna meeting focussed on the use of body composition measurements to learn more about early life health. This parameter, which indicates the fat mass and lean body mass of an individual, can be measured through nuclear techniques. Louise Potterton spoke to Mr Yajnik.

IAEA CALLS FOR ENHANCED RADIATION PROTECTION OF PATIENTS Safety Specialists Warn Against Overuse of New Imaging Devices Advances in medical imaging techniques are allowing doctors to detect hidden diseases and make ever more accurate diagnoses. But radiation safety experts at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) say that the overuse of high-tech scanning procedures may unnecessarily expose patients to increased radiation levels. The IAEA, in collaboration with other international organizations, is developing a series of measures aimed at strengthening patient protection. The focus of recent efforts is a Smart Card project, to log how much radiation a person receives in the course of a lifetime. Concern surrounds procedures such as computed tomography (CT) scans because they deliver higher doses of radiation to patients in comparison to conventional X-rays (radiographs). It's been estimated that the average radiation dose of one CT scan is equal to roughly 500 chest X-rays. And that can increase a patient's lifetime risk of cancer, particularly if CT scans are repeated. Madan Rehani, IAEA Radiation Safety Specialist, talks about the IAEA’s role promoting the radiation protection of patients with Louise Potterton.
