Kasaragod, Jul 13: The Kerala state government has given the green signal for works on the hospital building block of the Kasaragod government medical college at Ukinadka, near Badiadka, 30 km from the district headquarter town.

The decision was taken by the Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Health & Family Welfare, at a meeting in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.

The meeting resolved to commence the works this month itself. The Rs 88-crore project was awarded to Erode-based R.R. Thulasi Builders (India) Private Ltd., a senior official of the Kerala Industrial and Technical Consultancy Organisation Ltd. (KITCO), which supervises the project, said on Thursday.

The 500-bed hospital project is designed to absorb 100 students a year.

The work on the 20,000 sq m academic building block is nearing completion. The 37,850-sq m hospital block is designed to have facilities, including nine operation theatres, radiology department, and blood bank. The building will be linked with an electric substation.

The phase three works envisage construction of staff quarters, hostels, and allied residential facilities, he said. The project is estimated to be completed by May 2020 and the students’ intake could commence during the intervening period, the official said.

Its foundation stone was laid by then Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on November 30, 2013.

The authorities primarily focussed on completing the academic building blocks, procuring assistance from NABARD and the special package recommended by the P. Prabhakaran Commission, instituted to chalk out projects for the development of the relatively backward district, which still relies on far off hospitals for expert medical care.

Mangaluru, May 17: A team of staff and students from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte, have designed and developed a simple and cost-effective touch-less hand sanitiser dispenser kit at Research and Innovation Centre, Nitte.

According to a release here on Sunday, NITTE said that the most effective medicine for Covid-19 is social distancing, frequent use of sanitiser, and washing hands regularly. In work areas, many people sharing common sanitiser might lead to issues.

The developed product dispenses sanitiser upon sensing the presence of the hand. The product has features like automatic hand detection, indication for power, and sanitiser quantity in the system.

Bengaluru, May 15: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday announced further relief package to the lockdown affected people.

Addressing a press conference, the Chief Minister said about Rs 500 crore would be earmarked to distribute to over 10 lakh farmers, who had grown Jowar and also cash compensation to the shepherds who would lose sheep and goats due to natural disasters.

While commending the efforts of the ASHA workers, who are remained in the frontline in fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chief Minister said an additional Rs 3000 would be remitted to their bank accounts as an incentive.

The Chief minister had announced Rs 1610 crore cash relief package to benefit the auto drivers, barbers and washermen, last week.

He had also announced relief package to the farmers, and migrant workers and construction workers.

Replying to questions, he denied that by bringing amendment to the APMC Act, farmers would be suffered.

Brushing aside the criticism over an ordinance brought to the APMC Act by the Opposition Congress and the JD(S), the Chief Minister said “Amendment had been brought after taking care that farmers interests will not be adversely affected”.
