Data available only for the 69 poorest countries
(Figures in %)
In 2013, the number of women and girls using modern contraceptives in 69 countries under focus in a global report increased by 8.4 million. However, the increase in the proportion of women and girls of reproductive age using such methods has been marginal. Of course, in countries with very large populations even a small increase in percentage terms amounts to a large absolute number. For instance, in India, a tiny increase of 0.5 percentage points amounted to a whopping 3 million people. This is more than the number of people who newly gained access to modern contraception in 30 countries which showed signifi cant jumps in the proportion of their population with access to modern contraception. Over half of the increase in number of women and girls with access to modern contraception was accounted for by South Asia.

New Delhi: India and the US areset to broaden their bilateral mili-tary exercises to include morewarfare components involvingnuclear submarines and aircraftcarriers. Wary of the growingChinese naval presence in the In-dian Ocean, especially its subma-rine manoeuvres, the two alsoplan to invite more countries tojoin the Malabar exercises.
In the recent weeks, Indiaconveyed its displeasure to SriLanka at least twice over its deci-sion to permit Chinese subma-rines to dock in its ports.
India and US officials havehad detailed discussions, includ-ing at the Defence Policy Groupmeeting in Washington DC, onstepping up the bilateral navalexercises, sources said. The step-up starts with increasing nucle-ar subs and aircraft carriers inthe drill.The two sides are alsolooking at adding both army andair force components to the tra-
ditionally naval exercise.Sources said the two sides are
looking at inviting more coun-tries, thus expanding them most-ly into trilateral exercises. In Ju-ly 2014, India and the US invitedJapan to the exercises held innorth-western Pacific. Malabar
has featured Australia and Sin-gapore, besides Japan, in 2007.Through most of the UPA tenure,especially under defence minis-ter AK Antony, Malabar exercis-es off Indian coast have mostlybeen bilateral affairs, in an effortnot to raises Chinese hackles.
However, under the new re-gime in New Delhi there is a no-ticeable shift in the strategic pos-
turing, especially vis-à-vis China.In Washington DC in October, thejoint statement issued by Naren-dra Modi and Barack Obama hadreferred to the situation in SouthChina Sea. It was the first timethat the two sides had so explicitlyreferred to the issue in an Indo-USjoint statement. The move to dee-pen and broaden the Malabar ex-ercises flow from Modi’s de-clared strategic vision,especially reflected in the jointstatement.
The move comes even as thegovernment is warily looking atthe growing Chinese submarineactivities in the region. It has forsometimes been uncomfortableabout Chinese sending its sub-marines as part of their anti-pi-racy patrols.

New Delhi: The Modi govern-ment on Friday said it was taking“all necessary steps” to create in-frastructure along the Line of Ac-tual Control (LAC) to “match” themassive build-up by China.
Citing the “strategic reality ofour neighbourhood”, defenceminister Arun Jaitely told theparliamentary consultative com-mittee on defence that “our im-mediate neighbours” had al-ready enhanced infrastructurealong the borders. “The govern-ment has initiated several stepsto overcome roadblocks such asprocedural delays, environmen-tal clearances and shortage ofhigh-technology equipment tohasten the process of buildingroads in these critical areas,”Jaitley said.
But India has a lot of catch-ing-up to do, even though the gov-ernment says it’s fast-trackingclearances for border roads,bridges, airfields and railway
lines by relaxing environmentalnorms, as earlier reported byTOI. Just 18 of the 73 “strategic’’roads (totalling 3,812-km) identi-fied for construction along theLAC for better troop mobility al-most a decade ago, for instance,have been fully completed tillnow. The 73 roads were to be com-pleted by 2012.
Of the 61 roads (totalling 3,410km) entrusted to the Border RoadsOrganisation (BRO), only 590 kmon 17 roads has been completed.Officials said work on other roadsare in various stages of comple-tion, with the Army prioritising 22roads adding up to 3,000 km.

Bengaluru: Lodging a police com-plaint will be as easy as withdrawingcash from an ATM, if an initiative ofBengaluru police sees the light of day.
Walk into an ATM-like kiosk in theneighbourhood and narrate your com-plaint to the video camera installedthere. The complaint-receiving stationwill send the clip to the police controlroom, which will forward it to the juris-dictional police.
The audio-visual complaint will beconverted into an FIR, and the complai-nant will receive an acknowledgementand updates on the investigation.
