Udupi, Aug 17: Pramod Madhwaraj, Minister of State for Fisheries, Youth Empowerment and Sports, on Wednesday  launched the ‘Swachh Udupi Mission–Countdown Begins’ programme organised by the district administration and the zilla panchayat here

C. Srinivasan, Project Director, India Green Services, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, unveiled a plan for making Udupi a garbage-free district byOctober 2, 2018, here on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Srinivasan said that the segregation of waste would be done in a 30 % + 30 % + 30 % + 10% model. This would be implemented in all the 158 gram panchayats (GPs) and all four Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the district.

Under the first 30 %, big educational institutions, places of worship and big organisations would have to segregate their waste into organic and inorganic waste and dispose it off on their own premises.

In the second 30 %, haircutting saloons, chicken stalls, small eateries would have to segregate their waste. They would have to form their own associations as it would help in segregating and disposing of the garbage either by themselves or handing it over to self-help groups (SHGs).

The third 30% would deal with households. Each household would be provided with two buckets — green for putting organic waste and red for putting inorganic waste. This would be collected twice a day by SHGs at a price of just Rs. 3 per day. The last 10 % would comprise public spaces such as gardens whose cleanliness would be maintained by the authorities, he said.

Later, speaking to presspersons, Deputy Commissioner Priyanka Mary Francis said that already three gram panchayats, Varambally, Gangolli and Nitte, had been chosen for implementation of pilot project of Swachh Udupi. In these villages, 250 houses each would be chosen for the pilot project. The pilot project will go on for three months.

Once this was successfully implemented, it would be implanted in the remaining 155 gram panchayats. So too, it would be taken up in two wards each in all the four ULBs for the first three months, then implemented thoughout the ULBs in the next three months.

Coimbatore, June 1: A communal conspiracy has been aborted by the police by arrested a miscreant who had placed meat in front of Venugopala Krishnaswamy Temple and Sri Ragavendra Temple in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

The miscreant has been identified as S Hari Ramprakash, 48, of Kavundampalayam in Coimbatore. He is a civil engineering graduate. It is suspected that He is a Sangh Parivar activist and the intention behind his act was to put the blame on Muslims.

Even though officials claimed that Hari appeared to be mentally disturbed, there were no medical records that stated he was mentally disturbed.

Two separate cases were registered against Hari. He was booked under sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups) 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and 298 (uttering words etc, with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) of the Indian Penal Code.

City police commissioner Sumit Sharan said, “We collected CCTV footage and found a man, who had parked his motorcycle near the two temples and returned from the temples. Based on the registration number, we traced and arrested Hari.”

Commissioner added that the city has CCTV cameras in many places and it helped police officials crack the case faster. The police said he purchased one kg of pork meat from a shop at Kavundamapalaym last Friday morning and placed it in front of the temples on the same day.

Pune/Bengaluru, Mar 25: e-Zest Solutions and Neurosynaptic Communications today announced the ReMeDi SCAN-CORONA platform, an innovative technology solution to help control the Novel COVID-19 pandemic.
As countries worldwide grapple to contain the spread and flatten the curve while treating the ones infected, the need of the hour is to deploy widespread screening and testing procedures to identify and isolate those showing symptoms.
The ReMeDi® SCAN-CORONA platform has a three-pronged approach to controlling the pandemic that makes the task of screening, testing, tracking and reporting extremely easy and manageable at a large scale.
"Mass screening and testing is the need of the hour. With the scarcity of healthcare professionals, there is a need of technology enabled platforms to do this at a large scale with minimal to no human intervention. The ReMeDi SCAN-CORONA brings together remote healthcare expertise and the power of emerging technology such as AI & ML, and promises to reduce the load on the healthcare system, so that timely care reaches the right set of people as fast as possible," said Shree Shingane - Founder and Managing Director, e-Zest Solutions GmbH.
The solution features a Corona-Screen Kit - a portable, lightweight kit that includes basic screening tools that seamlessly connect and feed data into a Patient Health Record (PHR) system without any manual intervention.
It also features a geo-tagging powered Screening app that, by importing and analyzing data from the screening tools as well as travel and medical history. The input from a third-party COVID-19 rapid testing kit further enhances the accuracy of the outcome.
"ReMeDi SCAN-CORONA helps front-line health workers to quickly assess the essential risk factors for a person digitally. It has the unique ability to track the progression of symptoms with time. The tele-consultation facility allows individuals to obtain counselling as well as consult doctors independent of location, to access timely information and guidance. We are proud to present this solution in collaboration with e-Zest," said Sameer Sawarkar CEO - Neurosynaptic.
The beauty of this solution is that while it can bring a big relief for COVID-19 screening efforts, it is equally advantageous to heavily burdened Healthcare Providers in remotely treating the non-corona health requirements as well.
