6-year-old girl’s organs give new lease of life to 5 people

Chitradurga, Mar 28: Six-year-old Janahvi T, one of the youngest donors, has given a new lease of life to five people.

After she was declared brain-dead, her parents consented to donate Janahvi's organs to the critically ill, saving lives of five people.

A native of Chitradurga, the girl's heart was successfully transplanted to a 9-year-old boy from Vishakapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh.

Her father Tippeswamy, who is still in shock, said that he does not believe that his daughter is no more. "She was a very active girl, just a month ago she complained of stomach pain and had frequent giddiness. When she was unable to even write in her books, we decided to take her to the hospital for a thorough check up," he said.

Janahvi's parents had taken her to a private hospital in Chitradurga first, but her ailment could not be detected there. Later, she was taken to another private hospital in Mangaluru where she was diagnosed with a tumour in the brain.

It was his daughter's liveliness and spontaneous conversations with the doctors that confused them, Tippeswamy said. The doctors had initially thought there were no health issues with Janahvi. However, they found a tumour in her brain after conducting an MRI.

The private hospital later referred her to Father Muller hospital in Mangaluru, where she was operated on for nearly 14 hours to remove the tumour and its water content from the brain. Before the operation, however, the doctors had informed Janahvi's parents of the risk involved and the chances of survival.

Tippeswamy said that after the surgery Janahvi was mostly in a state of coma. She, however, had faintly opened her eyes and made some movements. But later the doctors told the parents that she was brain-dead.

The hospital staff, including coordinators from Jeevasarthakathe, a government agency which facilitates organ transplants, visited Janahvi's parents in the hospital and requested them to donate her organs.

Realising the finality of her condition, Janahvi's parents consented to donate her organs. Besides her heart and eyes, they donated her kidneys to two adult recipients, and her liver to a 9-year-old child. Her father, though heart-broken, feels happy that his daughter is alive through others.

Karnataka launches job portal connecting employers and job seekers

coastaldigest.com news network

June 30,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 30: In an attempt to tackle unemployment amidst covid-19 crisis, the Karnataka state government has launched a job portal connecting employers and job seekers.

The portal, 'Skill connect' ( https://skillconnect.kaushalkar.com / ) provides region-wise and sector-wise job listings. An interested candidate can register on the portal and either apply for jobs or can also seek skill training.

As on Monday, the portal has 25 registered companies with over 2000 jobs available in various sectors.

The portal works more or less on similar lines as that of any private job portal, except that those posting jobs and candidates searching for employment will have to register with the Skill Development Department.

Launching the portal on Monday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa hoped that the portal would provide an impetus to job creation, as well as the economic revival of the state.

Deputy Chief Minister Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan who is also the skill development Minister added, "All these years, there was no information and communication between job seekers and recruiters. This portal will solve that problem."

Also, until now, there hasn't been comprehensive information either on those seeking jobs or those looking for employees. The skill development efforts have not been in sync with the market. All these issues would be addressed by the portal, he said.

According to Karnataka Skill Development Authority Managing Director Ashwin Gowda, the portal has already seen a response with about 68 applicants in just a day.

Officials said even the organisations will have to register with the government while providing all documents concerned. The government aims to avoid any fake job advertisements through this. "We will also enable virtual interviews between the candidate and the employer," sources in the department told DH.

Recently, the government had also launched a portal exclusively for migrants who had returned to Karnataka from other places. This was meant to work as a skill registry.

However, the portal that was launched on Monday, went a step ahead by connecting both the prospective employers and employees, according to officials in the department.

Kerala mosque launches smart card system to avoid crowding

News Network

June 14,2020

Kozhikode, Jun 14: A mosque in Kuttichira of Kozhikode has found a unique way to avoid crowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee that runs the mosque has started issuing smart cards to people for offering prayers and simultaneously encouraging social distancing.

"The committee has given smart cards with numbers to the people in the surroundings of the Masjid. One who enters the mosque premises has to rub their hands with sanitizers. They also have to tell their identity on camera. The automatic system has been put in place to save the address and phone number. Next time onwards they have to say their smart card number only so that other details will be automatically filled," said Muhammad Sajjad, who is part of the Mosque committee.

"The door of the mosque will open automatically after swiping the card. We have fit in a sensor on the doors. We have also made marks inside the mosque area so that people can abide by social distancing norm," he added.

A couple of days back the Kerala government has rolled out an order allowing the opening of places of worship, malls and restaurants from June 9 in strict accordance with guidelines and social distancing norms. As per the guidelines, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities should not visit any places of worship. Those with symptoms should not be allowed.
