Kasturba hospital celebrated 23 years of Manipal Assisted Reproduction Centre (MARC) and the birth of 4,200 babies, a land mark milestone at a function at The TMA Pai Hall on Sunday.
Among the audience were children born through MARC and their parents. Dr G.K. Prabhu, Registrar, Manipal University, Manipal, the chief guest expressed happiness at the work being done by MARC over many years for the benefit of the society and mankind. There was a cake cutting to commemorate the long years of service by Master Naman, the first test tube baby born here in 1999.
Dr Pratap Kumar, Professor and Head of MARC gave on overview of how MARC which started in the year 1990 and has reached to this level of high success in the field of Infertility. He said that MARC began with simple procedures and later started the test tube baby procedure in 1998. The IVF procedure involves fertilization of the egg from the wife and the sperm of the husband outside the body and then putting the embryo in the womb of the woman to grow. About 3000 babies are born through IVF procedures he said.
MARC offers a wide range of treatment programmes for sub-fertile couples seeking assisted conception. It is backed by the experience of expert doctors and scientists who have taken specialized training abroad and have been working with sub fertility problems. The pioneering technological improvements make MARC one of the most advanced centers for the treatment of infertility in India.
MARC focusses on research programmes for improving the quality of management of sub fertile couples. Research works on animal models are being carried out and this is one of the IVF centres in the country associated with University hospital. In 1998 IVF was started and February 18, 1999, was a very special day for MARC as the first test tube baby was born on that day.

Karnataka has got in-principle approval from the Department of Electronics and Information Technology for its first Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) brownfield cluster development project in Electronic City near Bangalore, said state Minister for IT, Biotechnology and Science & Technology S R Patil on Friday.
Patil said the brownfield project is to be executed at an estimated cost of Rs 85.15 crore on about 1.6 acres. “This project will accelerate growth of the ESDM-based industry in Karnataka. We are expecting the cluster concept to work wonders in increasing the state’s electronic exports by helping the industry to penetrate rural areas of the state.”
The government has also exempted IT and other knowledge-based industries in Karnataka from state labour laws for five more years, including stamp duty exemption fo 75 per cent, Patil said. “The knowledge-based sector will be considered essential services and barred from strikes and shutdowns from April.
They will also be exempted from complying with working hours regulations as stipulated in the Karnataka Industrial Employment Rules, 1946, for another five years,” Patil said.
Srivatsa Krishna, Secretary, Department of Information Technology, Biotechnology and Science & Technology, GoK, hinted at plans to draft a separate semiconductor promotion policy in due course of time.
Certificates of registration were handed over by Patil to startups operating in the ESDM sector to set up incubation centres in Tier II cities.
“We expect the new new i4 (IT, ITES, Innovation, Incentive Policy) announced recently to generate 20 lakh IT sector jobs in the state by 2020, by when Bangalore is set to become the largest employer in the state,” Patil said.
Under Employment Linked Incentivisation of Land Allotment (E-LILA) scheme, the government will encourage companies with no prior presence in the state to set up their own or leased facilities. The companies will be required to give an undertaking under E-LILA to provide minimum employment to 1,000 people.

Karnataka’s flora is in full bloom online, thanks to an internet database launched by the Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), on Thursday.
The database enables researchers as well as laypersons to key in the name of any plant species to find out the regions to which it is endemic, the key identification features, habit and distribution locality, among others. At present, the database can be accessed only by IISc faculty. It will be open to all after two weeks.
“This is good news for researchers. They can get details of 5,216 plants with their origin in Karnataka,” K Shankar Rao, distinguished fellow of CES, said. The database is perhaps the first online herbarium to cover the entire flora of any state in the country. He hoped the portal will create awareness about Karnataka’s rich floral heritage.
The online herbarium will help in deciding whether any hydroelectric or other project can be undertaken in certain areas. “People can raise objections if any endangered species is damaged due to the project by checking our database for plants endemic to those areas,” he said.
Shankar, who retired as biochemistry professor from IISc nine years ago, has worked for eight years with 14 other faculty members of the institute to develop the database.
They are endangered

Kavitha Tubaki was in class 8 when she experienced nerve-wracking pain in her knees, hips, wrist, hands and feet. The condition worsened, and in 2003, the Dharwad girl had to drop out of college. Diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis that intensified into severe osteoporosis, Kavitha was confined to bed for 10 long years. In 2010, she weighed barely 19 kg as a 27-year-old. Her joints, wrist, neck, hip, knees and ankles were rendered non-functional.
But Kavitha saw a ray of hope when she consulted Dr Praveen Basavanagoudar. She underwent four surgeries in a span of 12 days in April 2013. Now back on her feet, although with support, Kavitha feels she’s got a new lease of life. Bilateral hip and knee replacements have restored her smile.
“In my 17 years of medical service, I haven’t come across a patient with such fragile bones. I didn’t promise to make Kavitha walk again, I only saidIwouldtry my best.Thesurgery waschallenging for me as well as the cardiologists and anaesthetist,” said Dr Praveen, consultant and joint replacement surgeon at Sagar Hospital, Kumaraswamy Layout. Senior anaesthetist Dr HN Chandrappa and cardiologists Dr KS Kishore and Dr Deviprasad were part of the team.
“Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis which transforms into osteoporosis is a systemic inflammatory disease affecting joints. It can also harm the liver and eyes,” he said. Kavitha weighed less than 30kg when she was wheeled into the OT. A victim of social stigma, she was depressed and suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), characterized by recur- FIT AGAIN: Kavitha Tubaki underwent bilateral hip and knee replacements last April. Now, the Dharwad woman is able to walk with support rent, unwanted and repetitive behaviour.
“I’ve gone through the worst. But now I have forgotten where it pained. I never imagined I would be able to set my foot on the ground again. This is a second life for me,” said a beaming Kavitha who wants to resume studies.

(L to R) Dr. C. Umesh Kamath, Dr. M.S. Natashekar, Dr. A.L. Hemalatha, Dr. P.A. Kushalappa
Mysore :
Last Sunday evening was quite enjoyable for me, enjoying the old Hindi and Kannada songs, going Down Memory Lane. The opportunity came with the annual Geeth Gaatha Chal (GGC) Doctor’s Musical Nite, a brainchild of Dr. C. Umesh Kamath of Kamakshi Hospital, Kuvempunagar. This time the venue was the MMC Platinum Jubilee Auditorium in J.K. Grounds.
I was surprised at the change of venue because in the past years, except twice, the venue has been the Karnataka Kalamandira, on Hunsur road. It was an ideal auditorium for programmes such as this where admission was free and open to all, with good acoustics and plenty of parking space inside the campus and the spillover along the road on two sides of the building. What happened this time? I put this question to the Organising Chairperson and the moving spirit behind this popular programme Dr. Umesh Kamath. The answer did not surprise me: “It is under repair.” In fact Kalamandira was under repair in 2009, 2010 and now 2014 and that was the reason GGC was shifted to J.K. Grounds Hall.
Yes, Turkey in the 19th Century used to be called the ‘Sick Man of Europe.’ Likewise we can call this Kalamandira the ‘Sick Building of Mysore.’ Even when money is provided, our Ministers, MLAs and officials are incapable of getting Kalamandira renovated at one go and in time. A non-performing Government, always ready with untenable excuses. The repair and the renovation work has finally taken off beginning Jan. 1, 2014 by the PWD and the completion period is April, 2014 according to official sources.
However, there was another genuine, stronger reason for shifting the venue. Last year it was held on January 6. I was present at that Musical Nite. A senior Police officer too was there. The programme was progressing beautifully, everyone was enthralled at the mesmerising music and songs from artistes performing like professionals.
It was a programme by the doctors where the singers are all doctors and their own family members. It was a Doctor’s Musical Nite programme, called appropriately Geeth Gaatha Chal, by the doctors, of the doctors and not ONLY for doctors but for all. Old, Hindi and Kannada film songs were sung by the lead doctor singers led by Dr. M.S. Natashekar, Dr. A.L. Hemalatha and Dr. P.A. Kushalappa on a stage magnificently mounted with video screens and best sound system. We were all enjoying the show, but then suddenly a shrill voice of protest was heard from behind the hall with an agitated man barging on to the stage with just a couple of men in tow making unreasonable, uncalled for demand on the organisers and to stop the programme. There was a brief period of confusion but they were pacified and the programme continued. I don’t think any complaint was made nor anyone taken to custody by the Police. Therefore, there was no guarantee this time too such incident would not occur. So GGC shifted the venue which is private and made the admission by invitation. I saw some guards posted at the entrance to shoo off uninvited trouble-makers like it happened last year.
How sad, because of a few anti-social elements Mysoreans are denied of a good, enjoyable musical programme! Let it be. After all, ours is too liberal a democracy where one can create troubles like this with impunity !
Despite this ‘protective’ measure, the hall was full. The stage was further upgraded with new technology and props. As they say, rain or shine, the show must go on and the show began on dot at 5 pm. In Mysore probably after our Suttur Seer Sri Shivaratri Deshikendra Swamiji, it is Dr. Umesh Kamath who respects punctuality.
Hitler said in his belligerent mood that war was first born in the mind of a man. That was the mind of a war-monger. But in the case of a music-lover, music is first born in the mind of a man. So it was with Dr. Umesh Kamath who on coming to India in 1998 after years of service abroad and joined Kamakshi Hospital. Being fond of music, though not a singer himself as I learn, he would invite singer friends to his huge bungalow for tea or dinner and thus prompt them to sing. A kind of chamber music. The news of his interest in music, that’s matched equally by his wife Dr. Rekha Kamath, spread among the fellow doctors, so also the appetising aroma from their kitchen. As a result, once in 1999, there were about 50 doctors hungry for music and of course, a sumptuous dinner. It was sheer ecstasy, but for the tired couple it was agony next day.
It was then the decision was made by Dr. Umesh Kamath to hold a Doctor’s Musical Nite, christening it as Geeth Gaatha Chal after the name of an old film, eponymous to the programme, once in a year so that he could throw it open to all doctors. A programme by a doctor for the doctors. The next year in 2000 it was held at Ganabharathi’s Veene Sheshanna Bhavan on Adichunchanagiri road in Kuvempunagar to a full house. The lead singers were, now legendary Dr. M.S. Natashekar and Dr. A.L. Hemalatha. One is blessed with the voice of Mukesh, the other with the voice of the Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar. One more doctor singer joined them in 2002, who has also become a legend in the GGC team, Dr. P.A. Kushalappa.
Like we say about film stars being discovered by so and so director, we can say Dr. Kushalappa (Prakash for his friends) was discovered by Dr. Umesh Kamath. It seems, Dr. Umesh Kamath was invited for a dinner at the Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club in city and was surprised to see Dr. Kushalappa singing film songs in his own Kishore Kumar style setting the stage alive, if not ablaze, with his body movements. Now Dr. Umesh Kamath has an unbeatable combination of Mukesh, Kishore and Lata with their golden voices. The mould is cast for an annual show of Doctor’s Musical Nite and the ‘Geeth Gaatha Chal’ lives on …
Later Dr. V. Ganesh Rao joined bringing in the flavour of more Kannada songs while perfecting the technical props on the stage. My Rotarian friend Dr. S.K. Ghori, who was also with the team this year, made himself very conspicuous by his unique characterisation for a couple of songs, specially one from Raj Kapoor’s film drawing huge applause from the audience.
The venue of the nite was shifted to Kalamandira in 2001 as the Veene Sheshanna Bhavana was found too small for this big programme.
I felt sad when many of my friends and readers of this paper asked why the ‘admissions reserved’ unlike in the past. On my part, I told them, “Come, I will tell them to let you in.” How I wish our Police are bold enough to handle these trouble-makers so that they will not dare to trouble in future. After all, the organisers spend over Rs. two lakh for the free show, apart from the preparations months in advance.
Finally, how can I forget the flavour of the show, the ‘sutradhara’ par excellence. Syed Aftab Ahmed, the anchor. Everytime he appeared on the stage, he breathed life into it by interacting with the audience. His ability to speak fluently both Hindi and English, roller-coaster movement on the stage and above all the elephantine memory to remember those innumerable names from the world of Hindi films going ‘Down Memory Lane’ is amazing.
Tailpiece: As I drove home from the venue a thought crossed my mind: Would the next generation of young doctors and public remember the old Hindi and Kannada songs? Not surprisingly among the audience I saw a majority belonging to my age. And my age is…. Now, Dr. Umesh Kamath has a new task of attracting young doctors and also youngesters to GGC.

Backward Kudubi youth are being employed in eye hospitals to be set up across Udupi by a charitable trust
The Kudubis, one of the most backward tribes living in Udupi district, are all set to witness a white collar transformation. A few among the new generation kids have landed jobs at an eye hospital, one as an optometrician, unlike the parents, who are mostly daily wagers.
S Jayaram Shetty, chairman, Parvathi Mahabala Shetty Charitable Trust, Shiroor, told Bangalore Mirror: “The formal inauguration of our new eye hospital will be held on Feb 2. The speciality is that we have employed youth from the local Kudubi community. There are about 25,000 Kudubis living in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.”
The first Kudubi who will be serving at the hospital is 21-year-old Ravi, son of daily wagers Chandra Naik and Rukmini Bai. Ravi’s father was closely associated with Shetty’s family as a labourer.
Shetty said, “This boy too is closely associated with our family. Most of our family members are doctors and he has closely watched them. People from this tribe never went to school. But they are a very clean community and Holi is the only festival they celebrate.”
Shetty’s brother Dr Sundaram Shetty, chairman, Globe Eye Foundation, Bangalore, noticed the boy had the potential. Once Ravi completed his PU from Durgaparameshwari Pre University College in Mandarthi, he saw to it that he was trained in optometry. “Ravi completed his diploma at the same institute and will soon be joining the hospital at Shirva — a village in Udupi district which is about 100 kilometers from Mangalore. While he was being trained at Bangalore, he even worked at Siddi Eye Care Clinic, Indiranagar, in the evenings and earned some money. Among the eight students who took up the course, he stood first,” Shetty said, with pride.
Ravi said, “Till I reached class five, I was not interested in studies. I gradually developed interest and was helped by the Shetty family. I am really happy that I have got a job. People in my community are trying to understand the value of education. I am an example to many from our community.”
Now, Ravi’s mother forces kids around to study. “My younger brother Sudhakar is in class nine and another brother Ganesh works as a coolie. Ganesh has been sent to a driving school by the hospital and we are hoping that he too will be absorbed by this hospital as a driver. I now dream of working for a while and then doing BSc,” Ravi said.
Shetty said that the hospital will also have a telemedicine counter — where doctors from Narayana Hrudalaya and Narayana Nethralaya will be connected. Ravi will be handling the fundus camera. He will also be visiting nearby schools to screen children.
At the hospital, doctors from Bangalore will be visiting for eight days a month. The hospital also plans to set up 7-8 vision centres in Udupi where people can go and get their eyes screened. For this the hospital has already given a two-month training to three youth — Suresh, Lakshman and Harish — from the Kudubi tribe. They have studied upto SSLC.
Since the inauguration of the hospital was delayed by six months due to monsoon, the boys have gone back to masonry. They will return as soon as the hospital begins functioning and will be provided a month’s training in Bangalore. Interestingly, all the masonry work at the hospital is being undertaken by the Kudubis. “We are willing to train Kudubis. In fact are looking forward to these children from the backward community. We have a burning desire to do something so that they can be trained,” said Shetty.
