Assam to Gujarat. These should be centres of health, which will educate our teeming millions on how to preserve health, which is much more than curing ill-health. Good health is our birthright. We habitually throw away that right by not giving health the first priority. Hospitals will be needed and increased to treat the sick and the suffering. But, more fundamentally, an infrastructure of hygiene must be put in place and the awareness that good health is a precious economic asset must be consciously nurtured both at the individual and

social level.

That she is a 8216;running freak8217; only points to the fact that this sensible lady prefers to keep fit by running to keep fit. Yet, how many married women in India, in her age bracket run for health reasons?
