Field visit to NMCH HOSPITAL AGAMKUAN, Patna
First of all ,I would like to thanks PUCL, who enable us to this job very
well and given us confidence , guidance and strength to complete this
hospital internship report . This is an intresting and knowledging
experience for me. Completion of this report was not an easy task, but by
the support and help of all employees of hospital , it became simple to me.
As our team comprising of ABHINAV, AANCHAL ,SAMUYA ,
RASHMI and me(CHANDAN) visited NMCH Hospital Patna on 18th of
june to gather information about gender discrimination , futocide , sex
determination test and violation of human rights.
After reaching there we found that OPD was closed. Then we go to the
Gynaeocology department where we attended by Dr. SUJATA SINGH
(consuttant) and she told about how patient discrimination among new
born babies. As NMCH hospital charge minimum fee from the patient so
lower income group people mostly approach to this hospital and if a baby
boy born then they distribute sweets and also give money to the nurses.
But if a baby girl born then no such type of activity can be performed.
And she also adds that there is no laboratory for determining gender test
as it is criminal in nature . we also cannot find such type of case there.
After that we visited to the patient ward there we interacted with some
patient and we found that educated person does not
discriminate between the boys and girls and the uneducated person always
wants a boy .

Oveview
NMCH HOSPITAL is a govt hospital. It is working for poors. Patients
crowd is very huge.the sanitation condition is not good. BUT ; all medical
facilities is given for the poor , the marginalized women and children
without discriminating of caste, class , creed, and gender. In some extent
it fulfills its aim.

Visit to Gardnibagh Police Station, Patna
Today we visited Gardnibagh police station Patna which is situated in the
premises of near cmo office. When we entered the building of PS we
witnessed that there is lack of basic necessity like fans, chair, and even no
windows for fresh air.
After that we attended by a constable there and we introduce ourselves
and told them about the reason to visit police station. Then we came to
know that SHO sir has went on patrolling and he return in evening. A
senior officer told us about the workload on them as they have to do all
the job like patrolling, maintaining law and order, controlling traffic
management in the city and also registering F.I.R all by the same officer
as there is lack of manpower.
Later on we went towards the cell (Hajat)
where the prisioners were kept before the trial. We noticed a 10 by 10
room and without any single source of light except the gate. We find a
seprate cell for female prisioners .

Visit to phulwari Police Station, Patna

We visited phulwari police station, Patna with our group. Infrastructure
of this police station is quite good as compared to other police station that
we have visited before. There we were attended by the SHO of that police
station, he is in full uniform but the batch of name plate is not there on his
chest. After sitting a while we introduce our group and also about the visit.
Sir told us that there is scarcity of manpower as a consequence all the
problems can be solved by them only like maintaining law and order,
controlling traffic network in the city, arresting culprits and also
registering F.I.R. Then we discussed on article 22 of Indian Constitution
that gives right to prisioners. Sir told us that we present the prisioner
before the judicial magistrate within 18 hours of arrest.
We discussed the DK basu guideline that is given by the honourable
supreme court of India that gives certain basic rights to prisioners and that
we have discussed earlier.
Sir also pointed towards a matter that is non availability of modern
equipment such as tracker system which is required in tracing mobile
location. And many other modern equipment which is available in the
Police Station of Delhi and Mumbai. For fast and

 Women safety in India
Women safety in India is a big concern which has been a most important
topic regarding women safety. Safety of women matters a lot whether at
home, outside the home or working place. Last few crimes against women
especially rape cases were very dread and fearful Because of such crimes,
women safety in India has become a doubtful topic. Some of the most
common crimes against women are rape, dowry deaths, sexual harassment
at home or work place, kidnapping and abduction, cruelty by husband,
relatives, assault on a woman, and sex trafficking.

In the last few years, crime against women in Delhi has increased to a
great extent. According to the statistics, it is found that every two out of
three women have suffered around two to five times sexual harassment in
the last year. According to the survey of women, it is found that women
are losing their confidence in police. By the survey of Delhi government’s
Women and Child Development Department, around 80%

of the women in national capital have fear regarding their safety. Women
are harassed not only in the night or evening but also in the day time at
their home, working places, or other places like street, club, etc.
It is found through the survey that the reason of sexual harassment is the
lack of gender-friendly environment and improper functional
infrastructure such as consumption of alcohol and drugs in open area, lack
of adequate lighting, safe public toilets, sidewalks, lack of effective police
service, lack of properly working helpline numbers, etc. A huge
percentage of women have no faith that police can curb such harassment
cases. There is an urgent need to understand and solve this problem of
women safety so that they can also grow equally like men in their own
country.

Visit to State Bank Of India, Rajendra nagar nala road

branch

We have visited SBI with our group regarding women safety and
measures taken by them to control crime against women in its branch.
Here we are attended by a officer of this bank. We told them about a case
19 | P a g e
that is vishaka v. state of rajsthan and this case is regarding the sexual
offences with women during the work place. After that the officer told us
that during the training period trainer instructed about this and there is
also a quantum of punishment by the department that is termination from
the job if found guilty
He says that the construction of bank is also according to safety norms
that is seprate washrooms for male and female staffs and he added one
thing that there is no such type of cases happened yet in this branch. We
also talk to the female staff there is not such type of crime occurred here
till now.

Overview
In many companies, hospitals and even in cinema industry there are lot of
case came in this light regarding taking sexual favour to do work in favour
of that women. Recently a Mee Too campaign started in which big names
are exposed like a minister M J Akbar taken a sexual favour from a girl
who work in his news agency and he found guilty in this case as a
consequence he has to give his resignation letter to the president.

Condition of people living in slum.

The parts of the cities, where these slums are located, are quite congested,
as they are over populated. The conditions of the slum areas in
metropolitan cities have deteriorated to such an extent due to the high
density of population that the people there hardly enjoy even the basic
20 | P a g e
amenities. The lanes are narrow and the houses are nothing but a single
room tenement without the facilities of an open courtyard or an enclosure,
thus depriving the people of natural gifts like sunshine and air.

In such areas, people use common latrines and water taps. Some of the
slum areas do not even have single rooms, they are thick clusters of small,
dilapidated mud huts, the roofs and ceilings of which are made of scraps
of wood, gunny sacks, metal or some sort of waste material. Sometimes,
10 to 12 people live, eat and sleep in the same room. The streets are narrow
and the sewage water stagnates in open surface drains, which emit bad
smell. The children often play in placLiving conditions in many urban
slums are worse than those in the poorest rural areas of the country. This
can be attributed pardy to the slum’s exceptionally unhealthy
environment. Many of the most serious diseases in cities are

‘environmental’ because they are transmitted through air, water, soil and
food or through insect or animal vectors.

The concentration of people in areas where the provision of water,

sanitation, garbage collection and health care is inadequate creates the
conditions where infectious and parasitic diseases thrive and spread.
Around half the slum population is suffering from one or more of the
diseases associated with inadequate provision of water and sanitation.

Despite the exterior appearance of chaos, slum life is highly structured,

with many economic, religious, caste and political interests expressed in
the daily activity. Living conditions are extremely difficult, and slum
dwellers fear the constant threat of having their homes bulldozed in

21 | P a g e
municipal ‘slum clearance’ efforts. Nonetheless, slum life is animated by
a strong sense of joie de vivre.

RAJENDRA NAGAR, MUSLLAPUR AREA AND

MOINULHAQ STADIUM SLUMS AREA :
we visited slum near MUSALLAPUR,,MOINUL-HAQ STADIUM
SLUMS .The condition in which they are living there is very worst, a
normal man with a good standard of living cannot survive here for atleast
one day. They are completely detached from the modernity of the rest of
the world. In this hot summer there is very much scarcity of water and
they have to carry water from approximately 1 km. if one day they did not
go on the work then on the next day they have no food to eat. The schemes
or programme which is operated by the government also did not rich up
to them in time.one thing I noticed there is that mostly population residing
there came from lower caste, like Dalit, Mahadalit and Minorities. They
did not teach their children mostly girls because girls have to help her
mother in home and kitchen. They marry their children at early age
which leads to many disease. Life spam of them arebalso very shot
because of not eating nutritious food

Visit to Patna Junction

We visited patna junction with our team to see the condition of ragpickers
and children who were lost or detached from the family there we found
many person who looks from their gesture like they are alone . we
interacted with them the main reason is poverty that’s why they came into
this line but one of the drawback of them are they taking drugs at very
early age that hamper their heath and they die at very early age. After that
we meet with the officers of child line who are there for the welfare of
22 | P a g e
children . they mainly work to take those children in his custody who were
lost from their family. They also give us information about their helpline
number in which anyone can lodge their complaint for child labour or
missing report.
