Mangaluru, July 14: Hikmah International Academy, a Montessori School in Mangaluru celebrated the annual Van Mahotsav recently at their school premises in Vas Lane.

K. Bhasker Moily, Mayor of Mangaluru City Corporation, graced the occasion as chief guest. A K Niyaz, Managing Director, A K Group of Industries was guest of honor. 

The chairman of the Hikmah Educational Trust Mohammed Nissar, the Trustees, Chief Admin Officer, Principal, teaching and non-teaching staff and more than 50 kids from MONT-1, MONT-2 & MONT-3 participated in planting many neem saplings at the adjacent area near to the school premises.  

The event slogan was ‘Think Green and Live Green’ to motivate the kids to know how important trees and plants are for our survival and well being.

The Mayor in his inaugural address said that forests play a vital role for our nation’s development. Destruction of forests ruins the ecological balance of the globe and also weakens the efforts of pollution control. The need for plantation has become even greater these days because of the growing pollution in the environment.

Mr Mohammed Nissar said that all the disadvantages of destruction of trees and forests can be balanced only with plantation of trees which maintains bio diversity, conservation of water and climate control.

He said that as we take a lot of care in protecting the plants, it teaches us how parents and teachers have to nurture our kids in their early stages with knowledge and discipline helping them to groom as respectable citizens of our great nation.

He announced that the institution will be coming up with an Eco-Friendly Campus in 3.5 acres of land in Mangaluru fully equipped with all the facilities which are required for a Modern School. Stone laying ceremony will take place within months.

Acting Principal Asma Syed was present. Event Coordinator Lubaina concluded the program with the vote of thanks.

Hubli, April 6: A disinfection tunnel was installed at the entrance of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) market here on Sunday.

The tunnel, installed with the help of Young India.org, sprays people with a small percentage of Sodium hypochlorite solution through nozzles in order to sanitise them before they enter the market.

"It is helpful for all the farmers, vegetable vendors and other people who are coming and going to the APMC market. This is very useful," said Jagdish Shettar, Minister of Large and Medium Scale Industries, Karnataka.

With regards to any plans of more devices being added in the near future, Shettar added: "Firstly, we will have to see what would be the public's reaction and then, later on, we will decide."

President of Confederation of Indian Industry, Hubli VSV Prasad said that the setting up of this tunnel can help curtail the spread of Coronavirus "by disinfecting the bacteria of the body".

While it was on the trial stage right now, Prasad hopes that the trial is successful and the chamber is set up in more public places. With regards to the cost of the tunnel, he said: "The cost is around Rs 1.5 Lac to Rs 2 Lac and hopefully it will come down once we go for production," he added.

Srinivas Joshi, a representative of Young India.org, speaking to news agency said: "We have added 1.8 percent of Sodium hypochlorite solution in 100 litres of water. It is pumped through high-pressure pumps and sprayed like a mist via nozzles for 3-5 seconds which is very less time to cause any kind of allergy."

"People who are allergic to chemicals should avoid going through this chamber. We are putting signboard very soon," he added.

The number of positive cases of coronavirus in the country continues to surge. As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is 3,577 with 83 deaths.

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.
