அரசு மருத்துவமனை

நாகை மாவட்டத்தில் வேகமாகப் பரவி வரும் காய்ச்சல் நோயால் அரசு மருத்துவமனைகளில் நோயாளிகள் குவிந்து வருகிறார்கள். குறிப்பாக நாகை அரசு தலைமை மருத்துவமனையில் காய்ச்சல் மற்றும் டெங்கு காய்ச்சலுக்குச் சிறப்பு வார்டுகள் அமைக்கப்பட்டு 24 மணி நேரமும் சிகிச்சை அளிக்கப்பட்டு வருகிறது. அப்படி இருந்தும், தினசரி கடும் ஜுரத்துடன் நோயாளிகள் பெருமளவு வருவதால் உள்நோயாளியாகச் சேர்க்க இடமின்றி மருத்துவமனை நிர்வாகம் தவிக்கிறது.


அரசு மருத்துவமனை

கடந்த மாதம் முதல் தொடர்ச்சியாக கனமழை பெய்து வருவதால் நாகையைச் சுற்றியுள்ள நாகூர், திட்டச்சேரி, திருமருகல், கீழ்வேளூர், வேளாங்கண்ணி, அக்கரைப்பேட்டை, கீச்சாங்குப்பம் போன்ற பகுதிகளிலிருந்து ஏராளமான காய்ச்சல் நோயாளிகள் நாகை தலைமை மருத்துவமனைக்குப் படையெடுக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டனர். இதில் சென்னை, திருப்பூர் போன்ற வெளியூரில் பணிபுரிபவர்கள் டெங்கு காய்ச்சலுக்கு ஆளாகி மருத்துவமனைக்கு வந்து சேர்ந்தனர். அவர்களுக்கு, சாதாரண சீசன் காய்ச்சல் நோயாளிகளோடு ஒரே வார்டில் சிகிச்சை தந்தால் டெங்கு பரவிவிடும் என்ற அச்சம் ஏற்பட்டது. எனவே, டெங்கு நோயாளிகளுக்கு மாடியில் தனி வார்டு ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்டு அங்கு சிகிச்சை அளித்தனர். சாதாரண காய்ச்சலுக்கு ஆண், பெண், குழந்தைகள் எனத் தனித்தனியாகப் பிரித்து 80 படுக்கை வசதி கொண்ட வார்டு அமைக்கப்பட்டது.

எனினும் தினந்தோறும் நூற்றுக்கணக்கான காய்ச்சல் நோயாளிகள் வருவதால் அவர்களை உள்நோயாளிகளாகச் சேர்க்க இடவசதியில்லை. வேறெங்கும் செல்ல முடியாத ஏழை நோயாளிகள் தரையில் பாய் விரித்துப் படுத்து சிகிச்சை பெறுகின்ற அவலமும் நடக்கிறது. கடுமையாக ஜுரம் மற்றும் டெங்கு பாதிப்பில் வரும் நோயாளிகள் திருவாரூர் அரசு மருத்துவக்கல்லூரி மருத்துவமனைக்குத் திருப்பி அனுப்பப்படுகின்றனர். ரத்தப்பரிசோதனை செய்து உரிய ஊசி மருந்துகளோடு நிலவேம்பு கசாயமும் காய்ச்சல் நோயாளிகளுக்குத் தரப்படுகிறது. இத்தகைய நோயாளிகள் நாளுக்கு நாள் பெருகுவதால் எப்படி சிகிச்சை அளிப்பது என மருத்துவர்கள் திகைப்பில் இருக்கின்றனர்.



காய்ச்சல்

இதுபற்றி நாகை அரசு தலைமை மருத்துவமனை ஆர்.எம்.ஓ. முருகப்பாவிடம் பேசினோம். ``இதற்கென தனி வார்டு அமைத்துள்ளோம். தினமும் சீசன் காய்ச்சலால் சுமார் 200 நோயாளிகள் வருகிறார்கள். அதில் உள்நோயாளிகளாக சுமார் 40 பேர் சேர்க்கப்படுகின்றனர். அவர்களுக்கு சிகிச்சை அளிக்க எம்.டி. லெவலில் டாக்டர்கள் சுழற்சி முறையில் 24 மணி நேரமும் பணியில் உள்ளனர். டெங்கு நோயாளிகள் பூரண குணமடைந்து வீடு திரும்பிவிட்டனர். தற்போது டெங்கு நோயாளி ஒருவர்கூட இல்லை. நோயாளிகளுக்கு உடனுக்குடன் வேண்டிய பரிசோதனைகள் செய்யப்பட்டு தரமான சிகிச்சை அளிக்கப்படுகிறது. ஊசி, மருந்துகள் எல்லாமே போதுமான அளவு இருப்பில் உள்ளன. மிகவும் ஆபத்தான நிலையில் வரும் நோயாளிகள் மட்டுமே திருவாரூர் மெடிக்கல் காலேஜ் ஹாஸ்பிட்டலுக்கு அனுப்பப்படுகின்றனர்" என்றார்

Gold medallists don’t ask for gold in marriage: Governor

GORAKHPUR: Governor Anandiben Patel while distributing gold medals to 51 students at the 38th convocation of DDU Gorakhpur University on Wednesday, said that gold medallists don’t ask for gold during marriage.

Patel, who is also the chancellor of all state universities, also distributed books and other gifts among 30 primary school students on the occasion and said that they are the future of the country. The chief guest was UGC chairman Professor DP Singh. Vice chancellor Prof VK Singh also distributed gold medals along with Patel. During her address, the governor advised parents to inculcate values in their wards and give them good education but leave the right of selecting their life partner with them.

She expressed her happiness over the large number of female gold medalists. “Girls are leaving boys behind in most universitie,” she said. She also directed the varsity to conduct a research on the reason behind it. “Boys should also come forward and catch up with the girls as balance is important for the development of any society.”

She said that those who lead in innovation, lead the world. Citing the example of Britain and USA, she said, “Britain was the first to use coal as an energy source and it reigned the world. Similarly America got hold over fuel and is leading the world. Today, the country that will be the frontrunner in using non conventional sources of energy, will lead the world.”

Mumbai University's convocation robes to go desi from November

TNN | Oct 24, 2019, 08.13 AM IST

 

MUMBAI: As part of a government move to make everything desi, around 125 academicians will participate in the convocation procession in a Shivakalin Angarkha, donning a Jagannath Shankarseth (Nana) topi at Mumbai University in November. The long, colonial cream and yellow convocation robes worn by dignitaries and academicians on the dais will undergo a makeover at the next convocation. The angarkha, which will have a Paithani border, will represent valour, commitment and good governance, university officials said. 

Graduating male students can wear sadara pyjamas, and females can wear a sari or salwar kameez with a sash. A maroon 'topi' to match with dignitaries was recommended by a university-appointed committee, but was turned down by management council members at a meeting on Wednesday. Affiliated colleges can choose the attire for graduation ceremonies or can switch to the university's pattern in subsequent years, a university official said.

Most recommendations by a three-member committee, led by M D Teli, professor from fibres and textile processing technology department at ICT-Matunga, Armaiti Shukla, from textile science and apparel design department at SNDT's SVT College of Home Science, and designer Archana Rao, were approved by the university's management council.

A former dean said the directive to make use of India traditional attire and fabric had come from University Grants Commission (UGC).

"Most of our education system's concept has been derived from the British, so our convocation attire was heavily influenced by their culture. The use of 'professor' for teachers was also borrowed from their education system. The government believes in making everything desi. This is a move in that direction. Whether it will be comfortable for use will have to be seen once the convocation is held," said the professor.

The committee has recommended the use of poly-khadi material for comfort and to give a 'swadeshi' touch to the attire. The fabric for the robe will be purchased from small-scale khadi gram industries. The Nana topi was included to further the cause of education and philanthropy. Shankarseth was an educationist and a social reformer. "The proposed convocation attire is a mix of our culture, tradition and inclusiveness," said vice-chancellor Suhas Pednekar.

New Delhi: Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) on Wednesday made a strong pitch for a medical college-cum-hospital at its annual convocation attended by President Ram Nath Kovind and human resource development minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’. More than 10,000 students, including 350 gold medallists, who passed in 2017 and 2018 were awarded degrees and diplomas on the occasion. Out of 350 gold medallists, 183 were girls.

The President congratulated all the passing students, especially the girl gold medallists who outnumbered boys.

Kovind congratulated the university for entering into its centenary year, and said that the founders of the varsity were also connected with the freedom struggle. “JMI is the symbol of the country’s composite culture, which not only needs to be preserved, but also strengthened,” he said.

About the proposed new education policy of the government, the President said that it is to establish India as a ‘knowledge superpower’. “Students should go to villages and try to understand their issues while making villagers aware of various welfare schemes,” Kovind said

Addressing the ceremony, both JMI chancellor Najma Heptulla and vice-chancellor Najma Akhtar sought the government’s help in setting up a medical college-cum-hospital in the university.

Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ in his address assured all possible help to the varsity. “The new education policy will help in fulfilling Narendra Modi’s resolve to raise India’s economy to five trillion dollars by 2024,” he added.

Vice-chancellor Najma Akhtar said that the university is planning to put itself on the national map in respect of environmental studies and climate action.

Bengaluru: RGUHS may appeal against disaffiliated nursing colleges

TNN | Oct 14, 2019, 01.08 PM IST



 

BENGALURU: Seven nursing colleges in the city, which were disaffiliated by Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) in January, have not only gone ahead and admitted students for this academic year, but also helped students file an appeal seeking they be allowed to write exams.

RGUHS vice-chancellor Dr S Sachidanand said they will file a counter-appeal as the court has directed them to allow the students, who are not even part of the university, to write exams. "We had not even permitted the colleges to admit students, and here they are asking for permission to appear for exams," Sachidanand said, adding that their answerscripts won't be evaluated. He said the university had published a public notice, informing students about the status of the colleges.

The seven colleges - Bethel Medical Institute of Nursing Sciences, Hosmat College of Nursing, Gayathri Devi College of Nursing, Pan Asia College of Nursing, Bethel College of Physiotherapy, Hosmat College of Physiotherapy and Hosmat Hospital and Educational Institution - were disaffiliated due to alleged involvement in a certificate scam.

Almost 200 students from these colleges have appeared for two papers. Sachidanand said the university was unaware that the colleges had even admitted students.

CN Ashwath Narayan, deputy chief minister and minister for medical education, said he can't comment on the matter as it's in court, but promised swift action against the culprits. "More than the students, those responsible for this situation should be brought to book. I will escalate the matter to the highest investigating authorities," he said.

UGC advocates adoption of khadi for ceremonial dresses in varsities 

The circular encourages all the more than 50,000 universities and colleges to use khadi or handloom textiles “for ceremonial dresses prescribed for special occasions like convocations”. education Updated: Oct 30, 2019 13:33 IST

Hindustan Times, New Delhi The UGC circular says that khadi is an integral part of Indian culture(Mint file)

The University Grants Commission (UGC), which has been extolling the virtues of khadi, has cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has asked universities and colleges to use the fabric for ceremonial dresses worn on special occasions.

“The honourable Prime Minister has advocated the use of khadi and also emphasized on the revival of handlooms. Mahatma Gandhi used khadi, a handspun and handloom cloth as a weapon during the struggle for Independence, and hence it is also known as ‘Liveries of Freedom’...the use of khadi and other handloom will not only give a sense of pride of being Indian, but also be more comfortable in hot and humid weather,” the UGC has said in a circular to all the universities in the country last week.

The circular encourages all the more than 50,000 universities and colleges to use khadi or handloom textiles “for ceremonial dresses prescribed for special occasions like convocations”.

The circular says that it is “requested” that universities and colleges consider use of this fabric, but it also seeks “appropriate action” for its adoption.

“I request you to kindly take appropriate action to adopt khadi and/or handloom fabric for ceremonial dresses to encourage the use of khadi...,” said the circular by the education regulator.

“The language of the circular is very interesting. While it did not use the word mandatory, it expects universities to take action. We are not against khadi or handloom but I believe universities and colleges need to be left alone to take a decision on what they wish to adopt,” said a Delhi University professor who requested anonymity.

“It’s an indirect directive to fall in line. It’s symbolism, not Indian pride that the education regulator is trying to get us to believe,” he said.

In the last couple of years, there has been a growing clamour around changing the convocation dress from the Western-style gown and square cap to a traditional one. Some institutions, including the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, IIT Bombay, the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, and Gujarati University, have already adopted khadi for their convocations.

The UGC circular signed by its secretary Rajnish Jain, says that khadi and handloom products are an integral part of Indian culture and heritage and are a source of livelihood for lakhs of rural people.

Modi has been a strong supporter of khadi and in September 2017 in one of his Mann Ki Baat radio programmes, asked people to adopt the fabric to help weavers.
