November 5, 2011

Manipal, November 5: The 22nd Conference of Karnataka State Obstetrics and Gynecological Association was formally inaugurated at Fortune Inn Valley View on Friday. The pre-conference Continuing Medical Education program was also held.

Chancellor Manipal University, Dr Ramdas M Pai released the souvenir for the two-day conference.

And the projects he plans are: “Save the girl child and save the uterus” through adolescent education programs that highlight the importance of treating anemia so that the developing girl has a safe motherhood. Anemia is one of the killers of pregnancy and hence needs to be tackled from adolescence,” he said.

The President Elect of Federation of International Obstetrics and Gynecology, UK Sir Sabarathnam Arulkumaran said it was necessary for anyone who works for issues concerning health should be reactive and proactive in their approach.

He was referring to the responsibilities that Karnataka State Obstetrics and Gynecological Association (KSOGA) should shoulder. 'KSOGA should be reactive to everything that happens around them. Incidents like maternal mortality and adolescent health should be given additional care.

“Besides, it should be proactive to introduce something new and look at how to improve the health of young girls as they grow. The policy of, learn-one-teach-one should be pursued. Thirdly society should be viable in terms of continuing the activity”.

“There is the need for leaders who can handover the baton to the next person,” he said and added, “finally, it is the public perception that should be taken into consideration”.

“For organizations and individuals to grow, certain qualities are necessary,” Sir Sabarathnam said. “Commitment, being compassionate towards patients, completeness in terms of knowledge skills, communication, instilling confidence, collaboration and team work are some of the essential constituents”.

Speaking on the occasion Federation of Obstetric and Gynecological Societies of India President Dr P C Mahapatra said Federation of International Obstetrics and Gynecology should be appreciated for balancing between scientific development and human development. The 21st century is best of times when concerned with scientific development and exactly worst when it comes to human development. He said; “infertility, adolescent, genetic healths are some of the major issues that are concentrated and on which we run lots of activities,” he added.

Mahapatra said that it was time for social movement to support the cause of women's health. It should be taken up on priority basis and Federation of International Obstetrics and Gynecology is committed to the cause, he added.

Bangalore , Mar 24: Bizom, India's leading retail intelligence platform, announced free subscription of its retailer app and tele-ordering solutions for consumer businesses in India and other emerging economies. Both solutions enable retailers to send their orders directly to the brand.
In COVID-19 times of social distancing and prophylactic measures, brands are conscious about the safety of their salespersons. Also, retailers don't want travelling salespeople to enter their premises. Consequently, many retail stores are facing stockout situations of fast-moving product categories. Bizom's self-ordering solutions help brands to avoid stockouts of their products.
Bizom trends, which analyses consumption and demand for consumer brands, showed how a near-complete shutdown during the Janta Curfew followed panic buying in early March. The asymmetrical demand and a lack of salespeople for order-taking are driving the industry towards social-distancing-based store-stocking mechanisms.
Bizom provides social-distancing-based store-stocking solutions for consumer businesses. They include the Bizom Retailer App and the Bizom Tele-ordering.
The Bizom Retailer App enables self-ordering for a brand's key retail outlets and can be implemented in under two weeks. The mobile app, a B2B shopping app, is a simple installation for retailers. It lists and groups the brand's products as per its product categories. The app's interface is no different from that of leading e-commerce apps. All the user has to do is select the preferred SKUs and add them to their shopping carts.
The app also allows brands to customize the app to meet the requirements of their continually changing product categories. For instance, if an SKU runs out of stock, the brand can disable the given SKU from the app.
With the Bizom Retailer App, brands can take orders directly from retailers instead of the traditional order-taking approach, which requires high-touch from a salesperson. Some of the key features of the app are, the ability to provide product information directly through retailers including SKUs, competitor comparison and pricing.
It also enables self-ordering from the retailer to maintain the flow of products as per demand, enables scheme rollout information through a notification on the app rather than through salespeople, tracks delivery of goods to the retailer and enables incentive payments to retailers directly rather than through distributor claims.
With Bizom Tele-ordering, as the sales teams go remote, the tele-ordering solution will become useful for brands who want to get salespeople to take orders from retailers, remotely. It ensures continued service to outlets despite not being physically present in the market.
Here, salespeople can discuss product requirements with retailers and enter orders based on specific outlet types (grocery, chemist etc.), outlet class (Class A, Class B etc.) or based on their beat or as per a distributor.
The key features of the Bizom Tele-ordering solution are, its ability to help salespeople collect orders from retailers remotely and enter it for fulfilment into Bizom using a tool, the flexibility offered to salespeople for remote servicing of retailers as per outlet type, beat, distributor area etc., secondary schemes get applied automatically, variable discounts will get applied as applicable at an SKU level.
"At Bizom, we are conscious of our responsibility to help brands run faster during these COVID-19 times. Our solutions of Bizom Retailer App and Bizom Tele-ordering have been built to ensure that brands can leverage this situation of low direct touch with retailers to enable a better way of working, remotely. I am trying to help brands go live in a few days so that they, in turn, can serve consumers better during these testing times," said Lalit Bhise, CEO, Bizom.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. 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."
