'''Mahendra Dutta''' (26 May 1931 – 17 February 2020) was an Indian [[public health]] official, best known for his efforts to eradicate [[smallpox]] in India as the appraisal officer for smallpox in [[Bihar]] during the [[1974 smallpox epidemic in India|1974 epidemic]]. He later served as Health Commissioner of [[New Delhi]], Chief Epidemiologist of the [[National Centre for Disease Control]], and Deputy Director General of the [[Ministry of Health and Family Welfare]]'s public health operations.<ref name=":0" /> Additionally, he was a founding member of the [[Indian Public Health Association]], serving as its president in 1987.<ref>{{Cite web |title=List of the Presidents, General Secretaries, and Treasurers of the Indian Public Health Association Since Inception |url=https://www.iphaonline.org/ipha-office-bearers/ |access-date=1 October 2023 |website=[[Indian Public Health Association]]}}</ref> Dutta's career is featured in an episode of [[Céline Gounder|Céline Gounder's]] 2023 podcast series ''Epidemic: Eradicating Smallpox''.<ref>{{Cite podcast |url=https://www.justhumanproductions.org/podcasts/s2e2-do-you-know-dutta |title=Do You Know Dutta? |website=Epidemic: Eradicating Smallpox |publisher=[[Kaiser Family Foundation|Kaiser Health News]] |host=[[Céline Gounder]] |date=1 August 2023 |access-date=30 September 2023}}</ref>

==Early life and education==
Mahendra Dutta was born on 26 May 1931 in [[Faridabad]], [[Haryana]]. His undergraduate studies at [[Forman Christian College]] in Lahore (now in Pakistan) were transitioned to [[Shimla]], [[Himachal Pradesh]] due to the 1947 [[partition of India]]. Inspired by his father's work as a [[Rockefeller Foundation]] fellow practicing as a public health physician, Dutta pursued a Diploma in Public Health at the [[All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health]] in [[Kolkata]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Foege |first=William |last2=Dutta |first2=Mahendra |date=10 July 2008 |title=Dutta M. with Foege W. |url=https://globalhealthchronicles.org/items/show/3537 |access-date=30 September 2023 |website=Global Health Chronicles |publisher=[[David J. Sencer CDC Museum]]}}</ref>

==Public health career==
In 1981, Mahendra Dutta published a retrospective of India's National Smallpox Eradication Programme (NSEP), which from its 1962 founding to 1966, vaccinated nearly the entire population of India. Despite these efforts, smallpox outbreaks continued, prompting Dutta to advocate for a search and containment approach, in which cases are identified through community outreach to focus on [[ring vaccination]] of those most likely to be infected. Following the [[World Health Organization]]'s December 1979 announcement of global smallpox eradication, Dutta argued for ending smallpox vaccinations, given that other animal species do not serve as a reservoir of the variola virus.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dutta |first=Mahendra |date=1981 |title=Vaccination Against Smallpox: Is It Relevant Now? |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02824988 |journal=The Indian Journal of Pediatrics |volume=48 |pages=257–259 |via=[[Springer Science+Business Media|Springer Link]]}}</ref>

In July 2008, Dutta met with [[William Foege]], a former Director of the US [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC) who had previously worked with him on smallpox eradication efforts, as part of the CDC's Histories of Smallpox Eradication Program to reflect on their intervention efforts developing India's modern-day public health agencies.<ref name=":0" /> In Foege's 2011 book ''House on Fire: The Fight to Eradicate Smallpox'', he credited Dutta with identifying embezzlement in the Bihar eradication campaign and replacing its corrupt staff manager.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Foege |first=William H. |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/j.ctt1pn9mf |title=House on Fire: The Fight to Eradicate Smallpox |publisher=[[University of California Press]] |year=2011 |isbn=978-0-520-94889-1 |series=California/Milbank Books on Health and the Public}}</ref>

Dutta's 2011 analysis of the smallpox eradication campaign in [[Bihar]] focused on coordination between the state government's epidemiological reporting, the national government's mobilization of community health workers, and international organizations overseeing vaccine distribution and recruitment of foreign epidemiologists. He highlighted partnerships with the [[Tata Group]] in identifying cases among the company's workforce of [[Economic migrant|economic migrants]] that would travel between densely populated urban centers and their native villages, spreading smallpox across the country. Lastly, he praised the innovation of printing cards depicting a child with smallpox to provide communities with a visual reference for identifying and reporting cases.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dutta |first=Mahendra |last2=Basu |first2=R.N. |date=3 March 2011 |title=Lessons From Smallpox Eradication Campaign in Bihar State and in India |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X11019128 |journal=[[Vaccine (journal)]] |volume=29 |issue=Supplement 4 |pages=D19-D21 |doi=10.1016/j.vaccine.2011.12.001 |via=[[ScienceDirect]]}}</ref>

'''Civil law''' is a major branch of the [[law]].<ref name=Williams2>[[Glanville Williams]]. ''[[Learning the Law]]''. Eleventh Edition. Stevens. 1982. p. 2.</ref> In [[common law]] [[legal systems]] such as [[England and Wales]] and the [[law of the United States|United States]], the term refers to non-[[criminal law]].<ref name=Williams2/><ref>W J Stewart and Robert Burgess.

It is often suggested that civil proceedings are taken for the purpose of obtaining compensation for injury, and may thus be distinguished from criminal proceedings, whose purpose is to inflict punishment. However, [[exemplary damages]] or [[punitive damages]] may be awarded in civil proceedings. It was also formerly possible for [[common informer]]s to sue for a penalty in civil proceedings.<ref>[[Owen Hood Phillips]]. ''[[A First Book of English Law]]''. Fourth Edition. Sweet & Maxwell. 1960. pp 208 & 209.</ref>

Because some courts have both a civil and criminal jurisdiction, civil proceedings cannot be defined as those taken in civil courts.<ref>Owen Hood Phillips. ''A First Book of English Law''. Fourth Edition. Sweet & Maxwell. 1960. p 208.</ref> In the United States, the expression "civil courts" is used as a shorthand for "trial courts in civil cases".<ref>Baum, Lawrence. American Courts: Process and Policy. Seventh Edition. Cengage Learning. 2012. Chapter 7. [https://books.google.com/books?id=6ZUJAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT139 p 139].</ref>

In England and other common-law countries, the [[legal burden of proof|burden of proof]] in civil proceedings is, in general—with a number of exceptions such as committal proceedings for [[civil contempt]]—proof on a [[balance of probabilities]].<ref>Keane and McKeown. ''The Modern Law of Evidence''. Ninth Edition. Oxford University Press. 2012. {{ISBN|9780199698325}}. [https://books.google.com/books?id=0TPr_O8PfX4C&pg=PA108 p 108].</ref> In civil cases in the law of the [[Maldives]], the burden of proof requires the [[plaintiff]] to convince the court of the plaintiff's entitlement to the relief sought. This means that the plaintiff must prove each element of the claim, or cause of action in order to recover.<ref>[[Husnu Al Suood]]. ''The Maldivian Legal System''. Maldives Law Institute. 2014.

== History ==
Following the adoption of the Reports of Rules Committees of the [[10th Lok Sabha]] by the two houses on 29 March 1993, the way was paved for the setting up of the seventeen Departmentally Related Standing Committees (DRSCs) covering under their jurisdiction all the ministries or departments of the [[Government of India]]. Formally set up in April 1993, the committee used to consist of 45{{nbsp}}members— 30 nominated by the Speaker from amongst the members of Lok Sabha and 15{{nbsp}}members nominated by the chairman, Rajya Sabha from amongst the members of Rajya Sabha.

However, during the re-structuring of DRSCs in July 2004 by the [[14th Lok Sabha]], the membership was reduced to 31{{nbsp}}members—21 from Lok Sabha and 10 from Rajya Sabha.

The inaugural chairperson of the committee was [[Debi Prasad Pal]], a former [[Ministry of Finance (India)|Minister of State for Finance]] (1995–96),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19960215-west-bengal-congressi-leaders-fight-for-safe-calcutta-south-constituency-834353-1996-02-15|title=West Bengal Congress(I) leaders fight for 'safe' Calcutta-South constituency|website=India Today|language=en|access-date=2018-11-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19951015-assisted-rao-in-selecting-ministers-pranab-mukherjee-emerges-as-major-power-player-807831-1995-10-15|title=Assisted Rao in selecting ministers, Pranab Mukherjee emerges as major power player|website=India Today|language=en|access-date=2018-11-16}}</ref> member of the [[Tenth Finance Commission|10th Finance Commission]], retired judge of the [[Calcutta High Court]] and member of the [[Indian National Congress]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/nation/story/19930615-recently-set-up-parliamentary-committees-start-calling-various-ministries-to-account-811207-1993-06-15|title=Recently set up Parliamentary committees start calling various ministries to account|website=India Today|language=en|access-date=2018-11-16}}</ref>

== Scope and Working ==

=== Scope ===
The functions of the committee are stated as below:

* To consider the Demands for Grants of the concerned ministries or departments, preparing reports on the same which are to be tabled in both the houses.
* To examine such bills pertaining to the oversight ministries as are referred to the committee by the [[Speaker of the Lok Sabha|Speaker, Lok Sabha]] or the [[Vice President of India|Chairman, Rajya Sabha]].
* To consider the annual reports of the concerned ministries or departments.
* To consider national basic long-term policy documents presented to the houses, if referred to the committee by the Speaker, Lok Sabha or the chairman, Rajya Sabha.

The Standing Committees shall not consider the matters of day-to-day administration of the department.

Proceedings, Draft Reports and Minutes of the committee are treated as ''‘Confidential’'' until the concerned reports are presented to Parliament.

=== Working ===
Working of the committee has been designed so as to keep individual opinions and statements as confidential, so, that the atmosphere within the committee is more open to discussion without the need to toe the party line or indulge in political {{sic|grand standing}}. The report presented by the committee "is based on a broad consensus and has persuasive value to be treated as considered advice. Hence it is not binding in nature. It is for the minister in charge of the Bill or any member to move necessary amendments in the House in the light of the recommendations or suggestions made by the committee.<ref name=":0" />

It ensures that detailed scrutiny of government finances, legislation and working continues to take place even if Parliament sessions are disrupted. With a representation of members from across political parties, these committees also act as a consensus-building platform.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/india/parliament-logjam-part-4-strengthening-committee-system-can-improve-quality-of-drafted-laws-fast-track-implementation-4450639.html|title=Parliament Logjam Part 4: Strengthening committee system can improve quality of drafted laws, fast-track implementation - Firstpost|website=www.firstpost.com|access-date=2018-11-18}}</ref>

==== Demands for Grants ====
After the general discussion on the budget in the House is over, the Lok Sabha is adjourned for a fixed period. The Committee considers the Demands for Grants (DFGs) of the concerned ministries or departments under its jurisdiction during the aforesaid period and presents reports on them to the House. There is a separate report on the DFGs of each ministry or department.

==== Bills and Annual Reports ====
The committee considers only such bills introduced in either of the houses as are referred to it by the Speaker, Lok Sabha or the chairman, Rajya Sabha as the case may be.

The committee also selects other subjects for examination on the basis of annual report of the ministries and departments under its jurisdiction

==== Statement of Minister under direction 73A of the Directions by the Speaker, Lok Sabha ====
In terms of [http://164.100.47.194/loksabha/direction/DIRECTION-2010-P-FINAL_1.pdf direction 73A], the minister concerned of the ministry or department makes a statement once in six months in the House regarding the status of implementation of the recommendations contained in the reports of the DRSCs with regard to her/his Ministry. This is aimed at ensuring that the recommendations of the Standing Committee are taken note of at the highest level by the government for follow up action not suggest anything of the nature of cut motions. The Demands for Grants are considered by the House in the light of the Reports of the committee.
