Indian Navy commissions first of the five Diving Support Craft to boost operational efficiency

NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy commissioned DSC A20, the first of the five Diving Support Craft (DSC), built indigenously by M/s Titagarh Rail System Limited, during a ceremony held at Naval Base, Kochi, on Tuesday. As per the MoD, the Craft features a catamaran hull form, the ship offers superior stability, enhanced deck area, improved seakeeping characteristics, and has a displacement of approximately 390 tons. Fitted with state-of-the-art Diving Equipment, the vessel would play a vital role in underwater repairs & inspections, harbour clearances and critical diving missions in coastal waters. With its induction, the Indian Navy's capability in diving support, underwater inspection, salvage assistance, and coastal operational deployment will be substantially strengthened. As per the MoD, DSC A20 is the lead ship in a series of five Diving Support Craft being built by M/s Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL), Kolkata. Purpose-built for a wide spectrum of diving and underwater missions in coastal waters, the vessel is equipped with advanced, state-of-the-art diving systems that meet the highest standards of safety and operational efficiency. The event was presided over by Vice Admiral Sameer Saxena, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command and hosted by Vice Admiral Sanjay Sadhu, Controller of Warship Production and Acquisition (CWP&A), with senior naval officers, representatives of M/s Titagarh Rail System Limited, Kolkata and distinguished guests in attendance. The contract for building five Diving Support Craft was signed between the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Titagarh Rail System Limited, Kolkata, on 12 February 21. The Hydrodynamic Analysis and Model Testing of the ship during the design stage was undertaken at Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), Visakhapatnam. DSC A20 has been designed and constructed as per the classification rules of the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS). At the time of contract signing, the Diving Support Craft was said to be a game changer in conducting diving operations and will serve as an ideal platform for conducting training of the Indian Navy's diving cadre. Commissioning of DSC A20 is yet another milestone in the Indian Navy's quest for indigenous shipbuilding, upholding the Government's vision of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. The indigenous construction of such a specialised platform in the Indian Navy stands as a testament to growing domestic capabilities, self-reliance and reducing dependency on imports. It will be based at Kochi and operate under the Southern Naval Command.

Hanahealth by DSS Imagetech Takes GERI Time-Lapse Incubator Pan India, Revolutionises IVF Outcomes

Reiterating its commitment to revolutionising IVF treatment in India, Hanahealth by DSS Imagetech, the authorised partner of Sydney-based Genea Biomedx, has launched the advanced GERI Time-Lapse Incubator pan India. GERI Time-Lapse Incubator enables continuous embryo monitoring, helping IVF centres enhance success rates across India GERI, the next-generation Time Lapse embryo culture system from Genea Biomedx, is ideal for IVF clinics, labs adopting digital transformation, centres working toward accreditation, and research-focused fertility groups as it enables them to modernize their processes and improve IVF outcomes. GERI helps infertility experts to closely monitor embryo development at every crucial stage in a stable culture environment indirectly contributing to higher pregnancy rates. Each of the incubators six independent chambers has its own dedicated five-megapixel camera to provide detail time-lapse views of each embryo at very high resolution.The camera in each chamber can capture images of up to 11 focal planes of each embryo every five minutes. The GERI Time Lapse Incubator offers a highly sophisticated and controlled environment for embryo development, allowing us to monitor the embryos continuously without disruption.Its integrated time-lapse technology provides real-time imaging and detailed tracking of embryo development, enabling the clinics to make more informed decisions about embryo selection, ultimately enhancing the success rates, said A.R. Ghatak, Sr. Vice President, IVF Division, Hanahealth by DSS. For embryologists seeking standardised, AI-supported objective grading, GERI reduces environmental fluctuations that harm embryos and helps them increase consistency and objectivity in embryo grading while enhancing their patient confidence through transparent communication. Time-Lapse embryo incubation in GERI, the game changer device for us in the IVF lab, has enabled SETs (single embryo transfers) with high pregnancy rates.Since the inception of the GERI ecosystem in our IVF lab, we have switched over to 100% embryo cultured under time-lapse and can not think of a scenario without GERI, Dr. Martin Jobst Greuner , Laboratory Director in the clinic -IVF-Saar-IVF, Saarbrucken, Germany . Embryo selection is central to IVF success making the precise visibility of a time lapse incubator crucial for IVF specialists. Even subtle abnormalities in pronuclear behaviour can indicate chromosomal abnormalities or early developmental arrest allowing embryologists to identify abnormal embryos at an early stage and not transfer them to a womb. Traditionally, embryologists have relied on periodic, static assessments of embryo morphology under a microscope, but this approach comes with its own limitations. Interruptions in culture conditions, subjective assessments, and the inability to visualize developmental milestones occurring between observation intervals are a few. GERI time-lapse incubator is the only integrated continuous monitoring benchtop incubator with humid culture option.In another way, GERI has addressed the importance of Osmolar stability for IVF clinics to ensure better embryo development and clinical outcomes.Research publication shows that humid culture of embryos gives better pregnancy outcomes compared to dry culture (Ref: valera et al (2022) Human Reproduction 37(9): 1980 1993), said Sindhoora Rao B , Application Specialist & Embryologist, Hanahealth by DSS . The purpose of GERI is to store and preserve embryos at or near body temperature, providing optimised environment for their development.The unique award-winning design of GERI time-lapse incubator helps the clinics to do individualised culture and continuous monitoring together, said A.R. Ghatak, Sr. Vice President, Hanahealth by DSS. By combining scientific insights with clinical precision, time-lapse technology, though well-established globally, is now gaining momentum across India. GERI is currently available in India only through Hanahealth by DSS and is already in use at leading centres including Krishna IVF Clinic in Visakhapatnam and Shanthi Shell Fertility in Bengaluru. AboutDSSImagetech DSSImagetech Pvt. Ltd., the flagship company of theDSSGroup, is a market leader in Molecular Diagnostics, Life Sciences, and Biotechnology. Founded in 1998 with the philosophy Inspired by Technology, the New-Delhi based family-owned company delivers cutting-edge solutions including microscopy, clinical diagnostics, medical equipment and R&D to researchers and clinicians across diverse life sciences and healthcare fields.

Shafali Wins ICC Womens Player Of The Month Award For November

ODI World Cup: India opener Shafali Verma has been named ICC Womens Player of the Month for November 2025, following her decisive performance in the ODI World Cup final against South Africa. Drafted as a late replacement for the injured Pratika Rawal, Shafali seized her moment in the spotlight with a fluent 87 off 78 balls the highest score by an Indian opener in a World Cup final. Her aggressive start, combined with a record 100-run partnership alongside Indias vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, set the tone for India posting 298/7. Shafalis impact went beyond her batting striking twice in quick succession to dismiss Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp and breaking South Africas momentum. Shafali finished with figures of 2-36 from seven overs and capped off a remarkable all-round performance for the youngster, who delivered on the biggest stage to help secure Indias historic triumph. My first ICC Womens Cricket World Cup experience didnt go as I expected, but it ended far better than I could have ever wished or imagined. Im grateful that I could contribute to the teams success in the Final and that I was able to be a part of making history in winning the World Cup for the first time and in front of a home crowd. I'm truly honoured to be named the Womens Player of the Month for November. I dedicate this award to my teammates, coaches, family and everyone who has supported my journey until now. We win and lose as a team, the same goes for this award, said Shafali in a statement by the ICC on Monday.
