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.

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.

Bantwal, Jun 26: A day after expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response from students for the SSLC examinations, Karnataka Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Friday took to Twitter to laud a student who didn’t let his physical hurdles deter him from writing the examination.

Sharing image of the student, Kaushik, who wrote the SSLC examination at Bantwal’s SVS High School, the Minister said that he was taken aback by the boy’s spirit for writing the exam independently without relying on anyone’s help. Such individuals give new meaning to life. Others should learn from this.

In the picture, Kaushik is seen seated on the floor and using his toes to write answers.
