Despite careful formulation of the health care policies, national programme plans and implementation mechanisms, in accordance with the international commitments made and local needs of India, the potential of raising additional funds towards ensuring ‘Hunger Free India’ can only be achieved through austerity measures at all levels with appropriate adjustments of the funds. These funds presently seem to be wasted by non-performing assets like ‘Air India’, rather than with the Universal Health Care (UHC) model based strategic approaches, insightful preferences and decisive commitments. Such reformist approaches shall pave the way to achievement of ‘Millennium Development Goals’ targeted for the year 2015.
