BACKGROUND: Pesticides poisoning is most common in developing countries, whereas psychiatric medications top the list in developed countries. In this study, an analysis of deaths due to poisoning is done with respect to age, gender, nature of poisoning, type of poison, and socioeconomic status to propose some precautions to prevent deaths. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The present study is conducted after collecting details of 75 cases of intentional and unintentional poisoning who were brought to the Department of Forensic Medicine, Government Medical College, Ananthapuramu for medicolegal autopsy. Children were excluded from the study due to insufficient data. RESULTS: Total of 75 cases are selected to conduct the study. Organophosphorus poisoning tops the list. Most of the cases are suicidal in nature. Lower class people and males are involved mostly. CONCLUSION: Poisoning in India is a socio-economic problem. Regulation of sale of poisons cannot not prevent the incidence of cases. Hence a holistic approach is necessary to uplift society as a whole by solving the problems of poverty, unemployment, industrial development, adequate health care, suitable and sufficient education, etc.

This paper describes socio-economic and demographic impacts of TVET provision for women empowerment in rural and urban areas of Baluchistan. Different economic factors and demographic attributes are examined with TVET programs on empirical counts for policy analysis. The analysis is descriptive and questionnaire based data from 178 TVET qualified women by using three stage stratified sampling technique are traced out in rural and urban areas of Baluchistan.The factors like, self-employed status of women, parents’ education, ethnicity, household head characteristics, rural and urban set ups, institutional affiliation, and self-choice for a specific TVET trade contribute to socio-economic and demographic empowerment of women. Rural women are found to get less economic benefits of jobs and income earnings as compared to urban counterparts.The tentative findings suggest for socio-economic and demographic impacts of TVET for women to support to the consensus of development for TVET contributions into human capital theory. The findings guide towards the profound contribution of TVET in theory of human capital formation and its socio-economic and demographic impacts specifically to women empowerment studies in the un-developed regions.
