Mangalore, October 23: Subodh Yadav, an IAS officer of 1999 batch formally took charge as the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district on Saturday, October 23.

This is Mr Yadav's second stint in the district, where he worked as the Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Panchayat a few years ago.

Head Quarters Assistant to DC Prabhakar Sharma welcomed the new DC with a bouquet at around 1:40 pm in front of the DC office.

Yadav was posted as Deputy Commissioner of DK district on October 20, when V Ponnuraj was transferred and posted as DC of Shimoga. Ponnuraj had left the city on Friday.

After assuming his new office, Mr Yadav said he would take forward all the development works initiated by his predecessor. He appreciated many land mark projects including computerisation and paperless office system, which was initiated for the first in the state by Ponnuraj.

“Many projects and works are under progress in the district including concretisation of roads in different parts of the city. And many projects are still pending. I will study the entire situation at least for a week before taking any crucial decision”, he said.

Asked how he plans to tackle the major problems of the district including land mafia amidst political pressure, he said: “Let me go through all the problems thoroughly first. Give me some time to study the situation before planning anything. There is a solution for each and every problem”.

He said the city of Mangalore has undergone a rapid change compared to a few years ago when he was in the city as the CEO of ZP. “Many roads have been concretised and a large number of huge buildings and skyscrapers have been constructed across the city”, he said.

Mr Yadav, who knows English, Hindi and Kannada, hails from Kanpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier he served as the DC of South Division of Bangalore Mahanagara palike, Kodagu, Chikkaballapur and Gadag. He also worked as the Private Secretary in Union Ministry of Law and Justice in the recent past. Before passing IAS, Yadav has done his BE in Mechanical Engineering and M.

New Delhi, Jun 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sought a discussion on advances in telemedicine, the use of "Make in India" products in the healthcare, and the use of IT tools in the medical sector for a healthier society.

Addressing an event at the Rajiv Gandhi Health University in Bengaluru via video conference, he sought a discussion on whether new models can be conceived that make telemedicine popular on a larger scale.

Referring to the "Make in India" program, he said the initial gains made in this field make him optimistic. "Our domestic manufacturers have started production of personal protective equipment and have supplied about one crore PPEs to those in the frontline of fighting COVID-19.

Modi said IT-related tools for healthier societies can be of great help.

"I am sure you have heard of Arogya Setu. Twelve crore health-conscious people have downloaded it. This has been very helpful in the fight against coronavirus," he said.

Bengaluru, June 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised the Karnataka government for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) via a digital platform, he spoke about the Karnataka government's efforts.

He appreciated the work of front-line warriors who are fighting every day in the war against COVID-19 and stressed the need to respect them.

"Doctors and other medical workers are soldiers without wearing the uniform of soldiers. Any kind of attack or violence against them is not acceptable," said Modi.

"There are incidents of violence against the front-line warriors. Any kind of abuse, violence or rude behaviour is not acceptable. The world is looking at doctors and medical staff with gratitude," he said.

"This is the biggest crisis since the two World Wars," the prime minister said. "Pre- and post-COVID-19, the world will be different. The discussions now at a global level are humanity-centric."

Stressing the importance of medical infrastructure, the prime minister spoke about the decision taken by the Union Government to set up a medical college in every district.

"A nation like ours has to have the medical infrastructure and medical education. Now, every district is going to have a medical college," he said.

However, the PM remained silent on salaries of front-line warriors. The Karnataka government has so far not released the salaries of doctors, nurses and lab technicians hired under National Health Mission.
