JK Cong urges CM to intervene for hike in stipend of medical interns
Jammu, Aug 31: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene in the ongoing protest by medical interns and ensure an early and meaningful enhancement in their stipend. Jammu and Kashmir has probably emerged as the lowest-paying region for MBBS and BDS interns among the states and Union Territories listed in a comparative chart circulated by protesting medical interns, with a monthly stipend of just Rs 12,300, prompting them to launch an indefinite strike on Monday demanding its immediate revision to Rs 30,000. In a letter addressed to the chief minister, Karra said the demand of the protesting medical interns was genuine and deserved sympathetic and immediate consideration. Medical interns constitute an essential part of the healthcare delivery system and shoulder significant responsibilities in hospitals while undergoing their compulsory internship, he said. These young doctors routinely work long and demanding hours, including 36-hour shifts, attending to patients and performing their duties with dedication and commitment, Karra said. He pointed out that the stipend being provided to medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir was considerably lower than that offered in several other parts of the country. When interns elsewhere are being provided better financial support for comparable responsibilities and working hours, the demand of our medical interns for a reasonable enhancement in stipend merits serious consideration, he said. Karra urged Omar to direct the authorities concerned to engage with the protesting interns, listen to their grievances and work towards an early and satisfactory resolution of the issue. The Congress leader said positive government intervention at this stage would not only address a legitimate concern of the medical fraternity but also boost the morale of young doctors who contribute significantly to the functioning of hospitals and healthcare institutions. He hoped the government would prioritise the matter and take necessary steps for a meaningful hike in the stipend of medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir, in line with their responsibilities and the prevailing stipends in other parts of the country. The interns said their stipend had remained unchanged for nearly seven years despite repeated representations and protests, while the cost of living and stipends offered to interns in several other states had increased substantially. According to the comparative figures displayed by the interns, Odisha tops the list with a monthly stipend of Rs 44,319, followed by West Bengal at Rs 43,099 and Assam at Rs 35,000. Karnataka pays Rs 30,000, while Kerala offers Rs 27,300 and Delhi and Meghalaya Rs 26,300 each. The stipend in Telangana is listed at Rs 25,900, while Arunachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh offer Rs 25,000 each. Tamil Nadu's stipend is shown at around Rs 25,000, followed by Haryana at Rs 24,310 and Andhra Pradesh at around Rs 21,840. Gujarat, Bihar, Goa and Himachal Pradesh are listed at around Rs 20,000 a month, while Puducherry offers Rs 18,000.

J&K medical interns to withdraw services from today
Srinagar, Aug 30:After years of waiting and scores of representations, and despite a government committee recommending an increase, medical interns have been pushed to wall to start a strike from August 31. MBBS and BDS interns across J&K are set to begin an indefinite strike from Monday, August 31, withdrawing their services from all hospitals. They are demanding revision of their monthly stipend from the existing Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000. The strike is the latest escalation in an unmet demand that has dragged on for nearly seven years. The stipend has remained virtually frozen while they say their workload and living costs have continued to rise. A committee constituted by the government had recommended an increase in the internship stipend to Rs 26,350 per month. However, despite the recommendation, a formal order implementing the hike has not materialised. The file and the issue was shuttled between the concerned departments. The interns have alleged prolonged administrative inaction. The young doctors performing duties in government hospitals continue to receive Rs 12,300 a month. The amount. interns and doctors' associations say is grossly inadequate to meet their most basic expenses like travel for work and food. Interns are routinely posted in emergency departments, wards, operation theatres and other clinical areas. They assist in patient care and work long and night shifts. The resident doctors' associations have also backed the demand and pointing to the role interns play in emergency units, inpatient wards, intensive-care facilities. They are also a crucial part of OPDs. The gap becomes starker when J&K's stipend is compared with several other states and institutions. Recent comparisons cited by doctors put internship stipends at around Rs 30,000 in Karnataka and central institutions and AIIMS, around Rs 28,892 in West Bengal and around Rs 31,500 in Assam. Uttar Pradesh has recently approved an increase to Rs 25,000 for MBBS and BDS interns. Now the interns in J&K have announced that they are left with no option but to stop work. A senior faculty at GMC Srinagar said its always desirable to enhance stipend annually based on incremental rise of 5 to 6 percent. This is similar to DA to permanent employees, and towards equitable norms. In June, the J&K Medical Students Association urged the government to revise the stipend and bring it closer to central government norms. J&K Medical Students Association had also highlighted how interns at Government Medical College Anantnag allegedly faced disciplinary action while raising concerns over stipend. The Resident Doctors' Association at GMC Srinagar and associated hospitals has extended solidarity to the interns. They have called the demand for Rs 30,000 stipend legitimate and urged the authorities to take immediate steps towards a settlement. Many other doctors' bodies have also voiced their support.

New Delhi , August 30 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday highlighted Mumbai-based Krishna Seshadri's initiative, India's Interactive Historical Atlas, to make the country's history more accessible and interesting. He also urged citizens, especially young people and content creators, to contribute to the campaign for a drug-free Bharat. In the 137th episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi spoke on Seshadri's initiative, 'BharatRajya' saying, You go to this website, choose any one year, and you will get to know who ruled which part of Bharat at that time. This was done by Mumbai's Krishna Sheshadri. The Prime Minister said he came across Seshadri's initiative on social media on the occasion of Ashadha Ekadashi and found the idea interesting. The website, allows users to select a particular year and learn about the rulers and kingdoms that existed in different parts of India during that period. PM Modi praised Seshadri's effort and said, His effort will not only be beneficial for students of history, but it will also help us learn history in an interesting manner. Designed to make the complex geopolitical history of the Indian subcontinent engaging and accessible, the website allows users to seamlessly navigate through more than a thousand districts across multiple centuries of structural and political transformations. The website features a dynamic slider spanning thirteen centuries - from 700 CE to the present day - allowing users to enter any specific year to track shifting borders and territorial expansions in real-time. Rather than providing generalised maps, the custom database maps exactly who held power at a micro-level, showing transitioning borders between prominent regimes - including the Mughal Empire, Maratha Empire, and regional princely states. Built with a strict educational mission, the platform's underlying mapping data is completely open-source under a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. This allows students, teachers, content creators, and media houses to freely copy, remix, and print the map layouts without requiring prior permission or copyright clearance. The PM also spoke to Seshadari, the Mumbai developer who having no prior professional coding experience, he utilized modern generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to write the complex code and build the feature-rich database from scratch. During PM's MKB programme at the end of the conversation, when the PM asked Seshadri on what other hobbies he had apart from creating the history website, the Mumbai developer said, I am a boring type of person who remains immersed in history and techonolgy. This elicited laughter from the PM Modi who wished Seshadari and wrapped up the conversation. During the episode, the Prime Minister also spoke about the ongoing Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, which he said is gaining momentum across the country. The goal is clear--drug-free youth, drug-free India, PM Modi said, emphasising the collective resolve to ensure the health, happiness and bright future of the country's youth. He said drug addiction does not affect only an individual, but its consequences are felt by the entire family and society. The Prime Minister commended those working to create awareness about drugs and helping people struggling with addiction. He also urged citizens to come up with creative ways to spread the message of a drug-free life. Can our young musicians make a song which contains the message of a drug-free life? he asked, while encouraging students and theatre groups to create short plays highlighting the dangers of drugs and ways to overcome addiction. PM Modi also called upon content creators to produce material in different Indian languages and share it on social media. There is no dearth of excellent content creators in India, he said, adding that creative efforts can sometimes be more effective than formal campaigns. Meanwhile, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi listened to the 137th episode of Mann Ki Baat in Bhubaneswar. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also listened to the programme in Guwahati, while Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel heard the Prime Minister's address in Ahmedabad. (ANI)

Duleep Trophy Semis: East Face Central, North Take On South (Preview)
North East Zone: Eyes will be on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again when he takes the field in the Duleep Trophy semifinal for East Zone against Rajat Patidar's defending champions, Central Zone, while South Zone will face North Zone in the other semifinal. Both matches are set for Sunday. East Zone won their quarter-final against North East Zone, as all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed starred with both bat and ball to lead the side to an innings-and-210-run win. Shahbaz (167) forged a strong 150-run partnership with the other centurion, Sudip Kumar Gharami (146), to power the Ishan Kishan-led side to a daunting 467. Medium-pacer Abhijit K Sarkar and Shahbaz then plotted the downfall of the North East side, with Abhijit taking 5-20 and Shahbaz 3-20 as they bowled Rongsen Jonathan's team out for 111 and enforced a follow-on. North East Zone again faced the brunt of East Zone's bowlers and were bowled out for 146 in the follow-on, with no one scoring a half-century. Ankulul Roy starred with a five-wicket haul, while Sooryavanshi took two wickets in a surprise move. East Zone won by an innings and 210 runs.

Saransh made his India debut in Colombo against Sri Lanka and will be gunning for success in the domestic circuit. Meanwhile, North Zone, who defeated West Zone in a close quarter-final, will face Tilak Varma's South Zone. Kanhaiya Wadhawan's North Zone defeated the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led West Zone by 52 runs, as Abid Mushtaq and Nishant Sindhu shared six wickets to deny West a chase of 286 on the final day of the quarter-final. North had scored 251 in the first innings after a late-order 60 from Anshul Kamboj, while Mushtaq took a five-for in the first innings, as his team took a 44-run lead. North did enough in the second innings too, as Ayush Badoni hit 50 and Sindhu made 44, taking the team to 222. Mushtaq stood tall once again with the ball, taking 4-60 in the second innings, while Sindhu took 2-59 in a 52-run win. South Zone will pose a significant threat to North's title hopes.
