Start Up Opens Doors To Students, Corporates, Artists, Bloggers

Digital India is going places. If you are a small or big businessman, a corporate, an artist or a blogger and need to reach out to a wide and targeted audience, then you need to quickly go digital. Otherwise, chances are you will find it difficult to survive in this rapidly digitalising world. Digital Series, an ISO certified Digital marketing training centre in Chandigarh’s Sector 34, has opened its doors to such categories of people, offering them crash courses to manage their digital marketing themselves, instead of doling out thousands every month to outsource this work. The centre is also offering two-month professional certified course in digital marketing to students to take this up as a rewarding career. There are also courses in digital photography and content writing.

Says Digital Series founder Nitin Rai Chaudhary, “Today’s market is all about digital marketing. Traditional marketing is taking a back seat. From small setups to bigger corporate houses, all need to go digital. According to a recent Nat-geo US survey, 77% jobs will be based upon computers and digitization by 2020. If we don’t learn or teach digitization today, we’ll be left behind.”  He adds, “Digitization will improve employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Interacting with media persons, Vipin Rai Chaudhary, co-founder and Google Adwords certified search engine optimization (SEO) expert and trainer with 8 years of up-work and SEO experience, said the centre will provide Learn and Earn Google Certification concept of digital marketing training. There will be certified digital marketing courses – one 18-days crash course and another
2-months digital marketing professional program.

In both the courses the student will be provided on job training. “Students will be guided by Google certified trainers. They will also be trained to write effective content. The course will cover hands-on projects, weekly assignments, research based internship, pre reading material and industry interaction sessions, the Digital Series founders informed.

The three-month digital photography course includes Skype calls with international artists, international certification and on job training.

After the completion of each course, the centre promises to assist each student in job placements, the founders claimed, adding that the probability of getting a decent job is 99 percent. The price tag on 18-day crash course in digital marketing is Rs 15,000 and on two-month professional program Rs 35,500.

To foster creativity, the team behind Digital Series has crafted a quirky learning environment quite different from regular class rooms. Wall arts, which embellish the centre, are aimed at encouraging a positive thought process.

News Editor KJ Singh Professional Par Excellence

KJ Sir and his mother have been murdered today in their Phase 3B2 Mohali residence, an ex-Tribune photo journalist colleague informed me at a book launch on Saturday evening. My first instinct was it could not be true. What ? I asked him as if expecting he might just say he was joking.

But that was wishful thinking. The tragedy had actually happened….a dastardly crime against one of the senior most desk journalists of the region, and a highly respected one at that. Though he had distanced himself from mainstream journalism for a few years now, after very rewarding innings at the Indian Express, The Times of India and finally The Tribune as news editor and chief news editor, he is still held in high esteem by the teams he worked with.

As I still lie in a state of disbelief, I wonder how someone could do this to him and his nonagenarian mother. Though we last communicated quite a few years ago, I cherish fond memories of us working together first in the Indian Express and then Times of India between 1994 and 2005.

As a news editor, the hands on person responsible for producing the newspaper in the shape and manner we read every day, he was a perfectionist. Highly self respecting and firm in his beliefs, I remember the circumstances in which he left The Times of India and The Tribune.

He was very aggressive in his approach towards news selection and wanted to beat the competition hollow the next day by attempting always to take developing big news to the last, even if it meant holding the edition till even 3 a.m.

One particular incident I fail to forget, despite my memory running short, is when a day after a weekly off I opened the morning newspapers to be flabbergasted to find that only one English newspaper, The Times of India, was carrying a banner headline to the effect that “The Hijacking That Was” and all the competitors howling that a hijacking had taken place at the Delhi airport.

Not knowing what to believe, and not wanting to disturb any of my colleagues in the morning, because they go home very late and sleep till late in the morning, I switched on the television to be informed with a sense of pride that it was indeed a mock drill ordered by the civil aviation minister…..The Times of India had come out with flying colours. That was the level of his professionalism. And he was a stickler for design, having a great design sense.

Such journalists are always hard to find … one in hundreds, maybe thousands. My parting salute to the Great Man !!!

On the orders of Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh, state police chief Suresh Arora has formed a SIT, headed by IG (Crime), to get to the depth of the double murder in the heart of Mohali. We pray and hope that the culprits are caught soon and awarded the harshest of punishment for the heinous crime. We cannot bring them back, but this the bare minimum we can do for the departed souls. RIP

Life In The IAS: My Encounters With The Three Lals of Haryan™ Makes for Interesting Reading

It would surely make very interesting reading. A senior Haryana bureaucrat, retired since long, has poured into a book launched on Saturday his experiences while working at various times under the famous three Lals of the state.

The book “Life In The IAS – My Encounters With The Three Lals of Haryana”, penned by former Haryana chief secretary Ram Varma, was formally dedicated to the people in Chandigarh by a galaxy of luminaries – former Haryana chief secretary S.D. Bhambri, editor-in-chief of The Tribune Harish Khare and Haryana chief secretary D.S. Dhesi – at a simple ceremony organised by the Swarna Jayanti Celebrations Authority, Haryana, at UT Guest House.

Packed with interesting anecdotes, tongue-in-cheek observations, behind-the-scenes political happenings and personal recollections, “Life in the IAS…..”, published by Rupa Publications India, captures the extraordinary journey of Haryana, its famous three Lals – Bansi Lal, Devi Lal and Bhajan Lal – and author Ram Varma, who takes the ups and downs of his distinguished career in his rollicking stride, experiencing thrills and triumphs, trials and tribulations.

On 1 November 1966, India saw the birth of its 17th state, Haryana, carved out of Punjab. Two years prior, Ram Varma had graduated from the prestigious IAS Academy and was allocated to Punjab. He was then transferred to Haryana, which was a state in turmoil and had within a year infamously been stamped as a land of political infidelity – ‘Aya Rams and Gaya Rams’.

Having served in various capacities from sub-divisional magistrate to chief secretary, Ram Varma relives the history of Haryana in the first three formative decades. An ambitious work, it covers the whole range of the state’s history – its inception, the chief ministers at the helm, the bureaucracy, the infrastructure reconstruction programme, including the innovative lift-irrigation projects and much more – as captured against the nation’s history which too was crafting a resurgent identity.

The book pivots its central narrative around the portrayal of the three Lals of Haryana – Bansi Lal, Devi Lal and Bhajan Lal – who dominated the scene. Barring a few years, Haryana was ruled by the Lals, who chased each other in and out of office. The author has watched this fledgling state grow during their respective reigns, had keenly observed the workings of each chief minister and was a witness to the fascinating drama of its transformation from a poor, resource-less state to a progressive, front-ranking state during his tenure.

100% Pure Maple Syrup From Canada Chases Olive Oil Craze

What started as the great Indian craze for Chinese food has now spread to Thai, Italian, French and what not. The burger and pizza invasion has the young generation hooked. Spanish and Italian olive oil, riding on the hype created over its health benefits, has become a fad with the hip crowd, and to a lesser extent Canola oil from Canada. Now comes 100% pure maple syrup from Canada, which is touted as a natural replacement for the good old common sugar, being shunned by the modern world as the “food villain of the century”.

Well known nutritionist and author Kavita Devgan and master chef from Chandigarh Kandla Nijhowne on Thursday gave a visual presentation of the health benefits and versatility of 100% pure maple syrup from Canada at an interactive session held on behalf of the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, Canada at Hotel JW Marriott in Chandigarh.

Playing on the ill effects of common sugar in lifestyle diseases like diabetes, obesity and inflammation, the two experts claimed that 100% pure maple syrup from Canada is a healthier alternative to sugar and other artificial sweeteners as it is natural and pure and is an excellent source of anti oxidants and essential nutrients.

Dwelling on the nutritional value of the maple syrup, which is a natural product obtained by letting water content to evaporate from sap collected from the maple tree,   nutritionist Kavita said, “100% pure maple syrup from Canada is already known to us as a natural sweetener. The fact that it is an excellent source of manganese and riboflavin (B2), a good source of magnesium and multiple other nutrients like calcium, potassium, sodium, copper and zinc, makes it a healthier alternative to sugar. Pure maple syrup contains a significant amount of phytohormones of the abscisic acid (ABA) family, a molecule that is believed to help against the inset of insulin resistance. This could be good news for diabetics, and those looking to knock off some weight, as well as athletes.”

She said maple syrup is known as liquid gold in Canada, where nearly 78% of world’s maple syrup is produced, and 90 percent of this output comes from Quebec province alone, the remaining 10 percent being accounted for by Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia provinces. Pure maple syrup contains 65 types of antioxidants, nine of which are unique to maple syrup, offering health benefits similar to those of berries, tea, red wine, flax seed, other fruits and vegetables. 100% pure maple syrup from Canada is a nutritive gourmet product that can enhance the taste of the dish – be it beverage, appetizers, main course or desserts, she added.

Chef  Kandla demonstrated three recipes using the maple syrup – a salt preparation, a drink and a sweet dessert.

Punjab Govt Thinks Private, Allows Pre-Primary Admissions In Govt Schools

Punjab Govt Thinks Private, Allows Pre-Primary Admissions In Govt Schools

As in many other states, management of government schools is among the weakest links in the Punjab government functioning, and yet it is ready to take on extra burden of students in these institutions of learning, riled by poor infrastructure, shortage of teachers and non-teaching staff and general mismanagement.

In what is being touted as a measure to strengthen the school system, the Punjab Cabinet on Wednesday gave its nod to a proposal, announced earlier by Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh, of enrolling students for pre-primary classes from the next academic session.

Following the cabinet approval, government schools will from this month itself start enrolling children over the age of three years in the pre-primary classes, which will become operational in the forthcoming academic session. Under the existing rules, government schools could admit children only above the age of six years.

An official press release said, “The move will help ensure holistic and integrated early childhood care and education, and also check the decline in enrolment of children in government schools.”

The release said the chief minister emphasised the need to improve the school curriculum in government schools with inclusion of adequate and accurate account of historical events and heroes to help connect the children to their roots. Local Bodies and Tourism Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu also pressed for inclusion of cultural topics in the course curriculum.

Quoting government figures, the release said, though Punjab’s child population in the age group of 6-10 years currently stood at 24.47 lacs, enrolment in government schools is a mere 9.6 lacs, with the number declining year on year. The state government attributes this decline to the fact that parents tend to send their wards at an early age i.e less than six years to schools whereas as per RTE Act and as per Government Policy, children below the age of 6 years are not admitted in government schools.

Estimating the child population in the age group of 4-6 years to be 5.33 lacs, the state government is of the view that by not admitting the children in the age group of 4-6 years, the learning levels of the students in government lag behind students of their age studying in private schools, which start admitting students much earlier.

In a welcome move, the Cabinet approved an amendment to the Punjab School Education Board Act, 1969, to abolish the post of Senior Vice Chairman. It also gave its nod to amend Section 6 (a) of the Act, thus stipulating that no person shall be appointed as Chairman or Vice Chairman unless he/she has served with the Central Government or State Government or both on a gazetted post for a period of not less than 15 years.
           
Further, the amended Section 15 (1) envisages that the Secretary of the Board shall be appointed by the state government and will be an officer from Indian Administrative Service (IAS)/Punjab Civil Services of Additional Secretary rank. The amendment in Section 17 1 (i) prescribes the syllabi and courses of studies in consultation with SCERT.

Global Tenders To Be Invited For World-Class Tech Varsity

The Punjab Cabinet also gave its go-ahead for inviting global tenders to establish a world-class Technology University at SAS Nagar (Mohali). The proposed university will focus on skill development in IT/IT enabled services, biotechnology and related biosciences, material sciences and nanotechnology.

Following the cabinet approval, proposals will now be invited from the open market from the open market by providing wide publicity. The applicants can either pay as per IT Policy-2013 or as per the proposal received from the Reimagining Higher Education Foundation. Based on the proposals received from the Foundation, an area of 50 acres earmarked for IT/ITES, etc can be allocated for setting up the university.
           
Criteria Amended For Plots In IT City

In another decision, the state cabinet also relaxed the eligibility criteria for allocation of plots in IT City, SAS Nagar for sizes varying between 3 and 25 acres to allow non-CMM-SEI Level 5 certification companies to set up business. Further, companies wishing to exit IT City have been allowed to surrender plots by deducting 10% of paid up amount.

Punjab Vigilance Bureau Steps In To Hasten Probe

The much hyped 200 feet wide approach road to the International Airport in Mohali, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2015, has come a cropper in quick time pointing towards complicity of supervising government agencies with the contractor.

Following a string of recent accidents, some resulting in deaths and serious injuries to road users, on the massively pot-holed road, and severe criticism in the Media, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau appears to have finally decided to move swiftly to get to the depth of the muddle.

An initial inspection of a stretch of the road on Tuesday by teams from the Bureau,  accompanied by road construction engineers, has endorsed the obvious – prescribed standards and quality of materials were not followed in the construction of the road.

An official press release quoting a spokesperson of State Vigilance Bureau said “on the basis of complaints regarding non-worthiness of this recently constructed road, Vigilance Bureau Chief Director Mr BK Uppal, ADGP along with senior PWD and GMADA engineers, technical teams of VB and experts of Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) have inspected the road and excavated the road at two points with JCB machine and one with sampling machine.

“During this special inspection, it has been prima facie found that the road was not designed properly as per the actual soil (clay soil) and traffic conditions (heavy load trucks) at the site, and improper/sub-standard material was used which was not according to the prescribed specifications mentioned in the DPR as well as in the contract conditions.”

According to Uppal, GMADA had already received a sampling report from CRRI but experts from the national institute had been asked to collect more samples from the locations selected by the technical teams of VB, PWD (B&R) and GMADA and submit a report after thorough analysis for review by the Bureau. Based on the CRRI reports, further action would be initiated against guilty engineers and the contractor, he added.

Among others present at the inspection site were G. Nageswara Rao, Director Vigilance Bureau, Shive Kumar Verma, Inspector General of Police (Economic Offences Wing) and engineers from PWD, GMADA and CRRI.

Dr KS Chugh Laid To Rest

A large cross section of people, including the fraternity of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER, PGI for short), academia, bureaucrats and others, attended the cremation of Dr K S Chugh, considered the father of nephrology in India, at the electric crematorium in Sector 25, Chandigarh on Monday. Dr Chugh, a world renowned nephrologist, passed away in the city on Sunday after a two-year tryst with a deadly disease.

His sons Sumeet Singh Chugh and Sumant Singh Chugh, both physicians settled in the US, were by his side when the last rites were performed.

Many among the gathering were heard recounting their memories of the highly professional, and at the same time a saintly person, that Dr Chugh was. An Emeritus Professor and former head, Dept of Nephrology, PGI, Dr Chugh is credited with being responsible for training a majority of the senior nephrology consultants and teachers in the country today.

Remembering Dr Chugh, Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan, Urologist & Chief Kidney Transplant Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, says : “Dr Chugh had a great influence in shaping not only my career but of scores of other kidney transplant specialists across the country. He had been a thorough kidney physician, an avid teacher and more importantly an upright individual. Being the head of the PGI research academic community he streamlined the research thesis and other projects in PGI and stood up against fraudulent research, so as to maintain the highest standards of quality. His passion for his profession was unparalleled and we would remember him for his knowledge, wisdom and elevation of our country to the global level in nephrology. His contributions towards teaching, training and research in the field of nephrology are immense”.

Having taken up the speciality in 1956, when he performed the first renal biopsy, which ushered in the new era of modern nephrology in India and led to the recognition of this specialty as a distinct discipline, Dr. Chugh made a pioneering contribution to the development of nephrology in India. He passed MD (Medicine) with kidney diseases in 1961 and became the first qualified nephrologist of India. He set up the first Department of Nephrology in PGI, Chandigarh in 1963, initiated the dialysis program at the PGI in 1963 and renal transplant program in 1973. He started the first super-specialty course in Nephrology for the award of DM degree at the PGI, Chandigarh in 1969.

Apart from the Padma Shri award, Dr Chugh was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians, London (FRCP, London), Honorary Fellowship of the American College of Physicians (Honorary FACP), D.Sc. (Honoris causa) Punjabi University (2010), D.Sc. (Honoris causa) GNDU, Amritsar (2013), D.Sc. (Honoris Cause), Dr NTR University, 2016.

He was conferred the title of National Emeritus Professor of Nephrology by the National Academy of Medical Sciences of India. Besides these, he was a recipient of B C Roy

Urgent Need For Geriatric Speciality In India

Urgent Need For Geriatric Speciality In India

In India, there’s a speciality, and super specialities, for Pediatrics, but none in Geriatrics. Who cares for the elderly anyways, goes the common refrain in the country with the highest young population in the world, and it proves true in the medical field as well. Unlike in the West, where healthcare for the elderly is a priority area, the Indian government does not seem to have any focus, or thrust on specialised healthcare for the elderly. In fact the country does not have a post graduation in Geriatrics, and, whatever facilities dedicated to the elderly there are in select private hospitals, are manned by generalist doctors, one odd among them with perhaps a fellowship in geriatrics.

Admitting to the sorry state of affairs, organisers of the three-day 5th International Conference of Geriatric Orthopedic Society of India 2017, being held at Hyatt Regency in Chandigarh, said it was their Society’s endeavour to at least train orthopedicians in a holistic approach to treatment of orthopaedic problems of the elderly, who are most in need for specialised treatment when their physical and mental faculties start to show signs of wear and tear.

 

 

Interacting with media persons on the sidelines of the conference, Dr John Ebnezar, Padma Shri, and president of the Society, and Dr Vijay G. Goni, organising secretary of the conference, alongwith other senior orthopedicians said even while treating the orthopaedic issues of the elderly there was a need for a multi-dimensional and holistic approach to their treatment and rehabilitation. Ideally they should first be attended to by a geriatric specialist before being referred to an orthopaedic specialist or a multi speciality team of doctors. Among the orthopaedic problems which most afflict the elderly are osteoarthritis, fractures, dislocations, osteoporosis, etc, they added.

But along with these issues most elderly people also suffer from other health issues as well like chronic back pain, hypertension, diabetes, depression, dementia, which have to be tackled simultaneously, thus bringing in other medical specialists, including neurologists, psychiatrists, rheumatologists and endocrinologists, they said, adding that even after orthopaedic surgeries, occupational therapies are necessary for the proper rehabilitation of elderly patients.

Dr Sanjeev Patnaik and Dr Uday Kumar shared their experiences of some of the advanced countries, where healthcare authorities even went to the extent of not discharging elderly patients from hospital after orthopedic surgeries unless they make sure that the patients’ support system at home is conducive to their proper physical and mental rehabilitation.

The orthopedicians uged the Union and state governments to urgently create infrastructure to train geriatric specialists and set up specialised geriatric healthcare facilities across the country, to gear up for a scenario of the country with the largest young population turning into a country with the largest elderly population in the next four-five decades.

Expect Better Blood Purification, BP Control, Quality Of Life

Expect Better Blood Purification, BP Control, Quality Of Life

Patients of kidney failure, requiring lifelong dialysis, are in for some relief in terms of better quality of life with a hospital in the tri-city claiming to be the first dialysis centre in the region, and among a handful across the country, to bring a new therapy system which has become a gold standard in Europe and in advanced countries elsewhere in the world.

 

Introducing media persons to the 5008/5008S system using the latest ‘Online HDF’ technology, kidney and transplant specialist Dr Manish Singla of Mayo Hospital, Mohali, said though the system consumes the same time – four hours per dialysis session – as the previous outdated systems being used by other hospitals, it provides a higher degree of blood purification, better blood pressure control, less requirement of costly Erythropoietin injections and better overall quality of life.

Using the new therapy system will not only ensure that the patients no longer feel constant tiredness and lethargy, and lead a near normal life, but their average life expectancy following kidney failure will also increase substantially from two-three years to 5-7 years, he added.

rn

rn

Informing that around 0.1 percent of population suffers from permanent kidney failure, needing lifelong dialysis, he said there would be more than 3000 such patients in Chandigarh tri-city alone and more than 30,000 patients in the region.

rn

rn

Dwelling on the cost of dialysis, Dr Singla informed that a normal dialysis session costs anywhere between Rs 1500 and Rs 2500 and a patient has to undergo two sessions a week. In Mayo Hospital, the new therapy will cost Rs 500 per session more. But, since the Online HDF dialysis technique removes up to 10 times bigger toxins from the body, and improves the haemoglobin level, the additional cost is more or less offset with less need for the expensive Erythropoietin injections, saving a patient an estimated Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 per month, he claimed.

rn

rn

Asked about future prospects of regenerating failed kidneys, he said advanced research in stem cell therapy has raised hopes that the first artificial complete organ to be successfully developed in the world could be the kidney. So far artificial tissues and artificial tissue-cum-machine combinations have been developed, but not complete organs. The trials on an artificial kidney have passed the second stage and now these have to be tried on humans. If all goes well, we could see artificial kidney transplants becoming a reality in the next two to three years, he added.
