Shivamogga, Apr 24: Health Minister U T Khader regretted that the state government's ambitious Jyothi Sanjeevini' scheme that provides cashless treatment to government staff has not been fully utilised by many departments.

utkhaderHe told reporters on Saturday that only 56% of the state's employees had registered for the scheme so far after the government issued a second circular to raise the enrolment from the earlier 25%. Khader asked the departments to ensure their employees benefit from the scheme.

Each employee has to upload his/her KIGD number to the Human Resources Management System (HRMS) through the department concerned. For more details, they must contact 8884004789,he said.

Khader said the government would fill 983 vacant posts, including those of doctors in the health department and in various hospitals by June.

The recruitment process that would be initiated now will take into account posts that would go vacant after retirement. He said contract doctors would be regularised after three years of service.

He also said special programmes had been planned in drought-hit areas to create awareness among people on health. The government would not hesitate to initiate action against fake doctors.

She is one of a few beauty queens who give equal importance to both modelling and academic growth. Within months after completing her MBA in Finance and HR, Shifali Saldanha won Miss India Continent 2019 first runner-up and Miss Glory of International 2019 held in Mumbai.

An alumna of St Aloysius College (AIMIT), this 23-year-old Mangalurean is now a much sought after budding model. “I am enjoying the moment and would like to go with the flow,” says the much-loved daughter of Stephen Saldanha and late Anupama Saldanha.

Over the course of past two years, Ms Saldanha has experienced various nerve-wracking moments. She was shattered when her beloved mother lost battle with cancer and bid adieu to the world a couple of years ago. Yet, she serenely braved all the challenges. Her ‘never give up’ attitude helped her to scale new heights amidst misfortunes and pains.

Speaking to coastaldigest.com about her success in Miss India Continent 2019, which was organised by Dr Mahesh Yadav of Aman Gandhi Film Productions, Ms Saldanha said 15 contestants from different parts of the country were shortlisted for the finale, which had five diverse rounds. 

“The meet and greet session was my favourite phase in the competition as it was an opportunity to interact with the participants from different parts of the country,” recalls the multi-talented, who dreams big. 

The leggy lass’ success wasn’t accidental one. A trained singer and multilingual anchor, Ms Saldanha was already a known figure in coastal Karnataka. She had won the titles Miss Karnataka International- Multimedia 2018, and Miss Beautiful Eyes Mangaluru 2018.

Being a moderate feminist, who carries a go-getter attitude, Ms Saldanha calls upon every woman to be optimistic, challenging and goal-focused.

No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
