Doctors deliver hope to rural pregnant women

Science & Technology, Uncategorized

Hubli:

Rural pregnant women  face several disadvantages compared to their urban counterparts. They are more likely to receive delayed or inadequate parental care, factors that contribute to higher infant mortality. In Dharwad, a group of gynecologists hope to better their lot by voluntarily offering their services.

Karnataka State Obstetrics and Gynecological Association , which also includes doctors of Hubli’s Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) hospital, has initiated a unique pilot programme. The three-month programme ensures obstetrical care in rural areas, and enables healthy and full-term pregnancies for rural women in Dharwad district.

Apart from high infant mortality, many districts in north Karnataka have also registered high number of malnourished children. The region has also witnessed high incidence of deaths of women who have given birth to malnourished babies in Gulbarga, Bidar, Koppal, Raichur and other parts of North-Karnataka and Hyderabad-Karnatak region. In Dharwad district, around 25 such postnatal maternal deaths have been recorded since January.

To educate mothers on how to take care of their yet-to-be-born child and themselves during pregnancy, teams of gynecologists have decided to tour all primary health centres (PHC) of the district. Each team will take turns for the visits on the first and third Thursday of every month, without depending on any aid or benefit from the government.

“Around 150 gynecologists from Hubli and Dharwad are members of the association, and we have chosen 25 specialist doctors from twin cities to visit 33 PHCs of Dharwad district. From January 3 we will initiate this programme in the entire state. Despite several attempts of the government, the number of maternal deaths has not come down. So we decided to do something,” said Dr M G Hiremath, state president of the Karnataka State Obstetrics and Gynecological Association.

FIRST TIME IN STATE

Dr N M Angadi, district health officer, Dharwad, said that there is only one specialist gynecologist for district hospitals. One doctor can’t manage the line of deliveries that come up and can’t visit every PHC of the district. Dharwad district association of obstetrics and gynecologists has come forward to help the pregnant women in the district’s villages. This is the first time in the state that any association of doctors has come forward to join the hands of government hospitals, he added.

Scripting success story through dairy farming

Business & Economy, Nature, Science & Technology

Many educated feel that agriculture is meant only for illiterate people. However, here are two brothers who have scripted success story in dairy farming through sheer hard work and dedication.

Deserting the life in Bangalore city, the two brothers  stepped into an unknown field and has achieved success.

Venkata Narasimha and his brother Keshavamurthy in Hanumanahalli have become model for other farmers in the State.

Venkatanarasimha was working as a mechanical engineer in a private firm in Bangalore. However, now he is completely at ease feeding cattle in a cowshed.

Their father late Sooryanarayana Rao used to visit the family deity at Yagati 40 years ago. After the death of Rao, the family shifted to Bangalore. Over the years, they purchased 10 acre land in Yagati.

The family sold their house and land in Mysore and Bangalore and settled down in Hanumanahalli.

At a time when Kadur was reeling under drought situation and farmers were engaged in selling their cattle, Venkata Narasimha purchased H F breed cattle from Doddaballapura and ventured into dairy farming.

“I purchased five cows by paying Rs 40,000 each. On the guidance of Veterinary doctor Dr Kotresh, I purchased 20 more cows.”

“To ensure that there was no shortage of fodder, we started growing fodder in our estate. We were purchasing fodder when we fell short of it,” they said.

Using cow dung and organic wastes available from the estate, we have started preparing compost and has been selling 25 tonne compost once in six months and two tonne vermi compost once in three months.  At present, there are 45 cows in their cow shed. They supply 440 litres milk to Yagati Milk Procuring Centre and has been fetching Rs 1.5 lakh profit per year.

The family members with the help of two labourers clean the cow shed. “If we respond to our needs, then we will not face shortage of labourers.”
The brothers attributes their success to the support they received from their family, particularly wife and children.

Mural of good hope

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Education

Bengaluru:

Walk past PESIT college on Mysore Road and you will see an impressive mural adorning the wall. You will also see an illustrious bunch of teenagers, working dedicatedly on the wall, guided by a woman with a powerful voice. That is Arzu Mistry, who, along with her class, is commemorating 25 years of PESIT in a unique manner. Titled ‘Wall meets Paint’, the 7,500 square foot mural has 21 students working on it daily, to commemorate the silver jubilee of one of Bengaluru’s prestigious educational institutions.

The mural primarily uses paint along with metal and found materials to capture the essence of PESIT. From the left side of the mural, moving towards the right, the design commemorates student life through shades of blue, from the time they enter the college to graduation and beyond. From right to left, the mural moves from cool to warm colours tracking the history of the college and marking points in the journey of the college. Dragonflies are a dominant feature of the mural representing metamorphosis and movement.

Arzu Mistry believes in integrating art and education, much like her mural. Born in Mumbai, brought up in the Bengaluru, Arzu moved to the States to pursue her studies. She studied at the California College of The Arts, and then did a Masters at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. “My parents lived in Iran when I was a child. They are architects and always wanted to pursue art and design.”

Never the one to go by conventional methods of education, an experience in USA changed everything. “I remember when the Iraq War was declared in 2008, many of my students faced the crisis personally. The neighbourhood near the school had a high immigrant population. Several fathers, uncles, brothers of these children were being sent to war and we didn’t have a way to help them deal with it.” Now, Arzu goes to the US every year and teaches children. Math and science usually give children nightmares but when combined with interesting forms of theatre, dance, visual art and mixed media, it can be a lot of fun! “Art needn’t be abstract at all, in fact, can be used to teach various disciplines because art appeals to one’s mind like nothing else.”

Her latest pet project is another way to integrate the city and its various elements into art, and not make creativity an exclusive item. “It’s amazing how receptive people are. One day, a man on a motorcycle got off and asked me if he can paint with us. He actually painted a portion of the wall and took off. We have a coconut-vendor who gives my students free coconut water everyday. A chaiwalla stops by to give us chai every evening. The local policeman makes sure the area is cleared for us  and mans the traffic especially for us.  There is a distinct manner in which art communicates beyond boundaries.”

Proud bunch of budding scientists earns global laurels

Records, All, Science & Technology

Bengaluru:

They could all be budding scientists. A student from Hoskote in Bengaluru rural district   and  five other  high school students of Karnataka have done the state proud by being selected to represent India  at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) to be held in May 2013 in Arizona, USA, along with a few other students from around the country.

An SSLC student of the Citizens High School in Hoskote, M. Yeshwanth, was selected based on his discovery that you can  kill pythogenic bacterial growth using  Bauhinia leaves. The Bauhinia,  known as camel foot (and locally as Basavana Paada) has high anti-bacterial quality.

“I am very happy to be going to the fair in USA as  I have never stepped outside Bengaluru . I cannot express how wonderful it feels to be representing my country in a science fair. Besides my parents I’d like to thank my teachers and project guide, G. Eshwaraiah from Vijaywada,” said an elated Yeshwanth.

The national selection fair in New Delhi saw 111 research based projects,  of which 40 were from Karnataka. All projects were supported by extensive research done by students from Classes V to XII.
Yeshwanth said said he spent four months working on his project.

“The testing was done in our school lab. The pathogenic bacteria such as bacillius suvtilis cause diseases like endo cardatis and meningitis,”  he explained, adding that he  intended to study the subject in greater depth now that his project had been selected for presentation at an international event.

Nayana K R and Aishwarya C A from Amrtita Vidyalayam in Davangere have won a berth in the international fest for a mathematical science  project in which they presented Vaina’s Square Lemma: Extension of Pythagoras Theorem on division of square into [N2 + 1] equal square.

Himanbindu T V and Bhargavi N Sarod of the Amrita School have won a place on the basis of their chemistry project.

Mahesh K of the St Philomena High School in Puttur too will participate in the fair.

Dheemantha Kannadigaru book released

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Leaders

2-day book expo begins at Kalamandira

Mysore University International Centre Director Prof. R. Indira (third from left) releasing the book Dheemantha Kannadigaru at a function held at Suchitra Art Gallery in Kalamandira here this morning. Others seen are (from left) Indira Sundar, publisher Gowri Sundar, Star of Mysore Editor-in-Chief K.B. Ganapathy, author N. Anandaram Rao and theatre artiste Rajashekhar Kadamba.

Mysore, Nov. 30

Dheemantha Kannadigaru, a Kannada book portraying the outstanding achievements of 25 Kannadigas, was released at a function this morning, held at Suchitra Art Gallery in Kalamandira on Hunsur road here.

Mysore University International Centre Director Prof. R. Indira, who released the book, praised the Publisher Gowri Sundar of Sundara Prakashana, Bangalore, for his commitment towards bringing out such literary works despite facing severe health problems.

Star of Mysore Editor-in-Chief K.B. Ganapathy inaugurated a book exhibition at the Gallery which will be open today and tomorrow from 10 am to 7.30 pm.

Speaking on the occasion, Ganapathy said that if one pursues wealth and also seeks God, will get neither. But they both go to the one who performs his or her duties (karma) without seeking either wealth or God.

Citing the example of invader Bakhtiyar Khilji who sacked the Nalanda University in 1193 and burnt down its library, Ganapathy said that book-burning is not new and there will always be people who burn books for one reason or the other.

Deploring the trend of lobbying to get awards for books, Ganapathy pointed out that even for the Best Teacher Award, three MLAs are supposed to attest their recommendation, despite they having no knowledge about the field of education. He also rued the manner in which candidates are selected for Jnan-pith and other prestigious awards that reeked of political favouritism.
