Ramanath Rai, District president of Congress, told presspersons on Monday that the party men would be meeting people at the block and booth level and speak about the development schemes such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, the National Rural Health Mission, the National Horticultural Mission, and the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan.

Mr. Rai said many did not know about the Central government schemes and therefore had not been able to use them. He said leaders of the block-level and booth-level teams were given an orientation about the Central government schemes on Monday. Mr. Rai said the campaign would focus on the way the Manmohan Singh-led government had been fighting against corruption Mr. Rai said the Congress workers would highlight the failure of the B.S. Yeddyurappa government in the implementation of social welfare schemes.

Bengaluru, Mar 27: India should take a cue from the UK and Italy and allow final year medical students to skip exam and bring them into the hospital system immediately to fight the war against COVID-19, noted cardiac surgeon Devi Prasad Shetty on Friday said.

The Chairman and Founder of the city-based Narayana Health said there should be some reforms in medical education like the UK and Italy.
In the UK, he noted, final year medical students have been told that they don't need to appear for the exam, and they will be given pass based on the past performance and they can get into the hospital system to fill the shortage.

Italy got 10,000 more doctors following the move to cut short the duration of MBBS by nine months, according to him.

COVID-19 battle can be only won by young doctors and young nurses. Its like a war, Shetty told PTI.

He said: Senior doctorsnone of them will be able to touch the patients because they are past the age of 50. A person who is past the age of 50 is very vulnerable himself.

This is a very contagious disease. "But we dont have that many battalion (of doctors). We need one and half lakh doctors to manage all these government
hospitals and private hospitals (to fight COVID-19)", he added.
