BRS Moving Towards Merger With BJP: Komatireddy
Nalgonda: Roads and buildings (R&B) minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Friday reiterated that BRS was moving towards merger with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Speaking to media, the minister said there is no doubt that BRS is going to merge with BJP. BRS leaders were holding consultations with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the purpose, he added. He pointed out that BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao and other leaders had kept quiet on the injustice meted out to Telangana in the Union Budget. Coming down heavily on the BRS for criticising the state budget, Venkat Reddy said the BRS which has sent the state into indebtedness from a surplus Budget, had no moral right to find fault in the Congress governments Budget. The state government was paying Rs 7,000 crore as interest on loans taken by the BRS government every month, Venkat Reddy said. He reminded that a lions share of Rs 72,659 crore was earmarked for agriculture in the Budget and Rs 22,000 crore to irrigation with a goal to complete the SLBC tunnel, Shivannagudem reservoir, Brahmanavellamla project, Sitarama project and others in south Telangana. Venkat Reddy said the trial run of Brahmanavellamla project would be conducted in 10 days and works of its canal would be completed by December this year. He said integrated hostel complexes would be set up on 20 acres in every Assembly constituency at Rs 80 crore. He pointed out that Rs 100 crores were allocated in the Budget for setting up of skill development university. The building of government medical college at Nalgonda would get ready by August and would be inaugurated in the hands of Chief Minister Anumula Revanth Reddy. He said a building for nursing college would be constructed on the premises of the medical college. Earlier, Venkat Reddy inspected work on the government medical college building at SLBC quarters in Nalgonda. District collector C. Narayana Reddy and Nakrekal MLA Vemula Veeresham were also present.
Hyderabad: Three fake doctors were arrested following the Telangana Medical Councils (TGMC) verification of doctors working at 40 centres dedicated skin, laser, hair, and cosmetology in Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Hitech City, Kukatpally, and Miyapur. Additionally, 20 centres were found operating without qualified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or the necessary permissions from the district registration authority. Some centres were employing dental, ayurvedic, and homoeopathy practitioners who were using lasers beyond their qualifications. Notices were issued to the unqualified practitioners. Such practices pose serious risks, including infections, scarring, and incorrect diagnoses. Only doctors with MBBS, MD Dermatology, or MCH Plastic Surgery qualifications should perform cosmetic treatments like hair transplantation, said Dr G. Srinivas, TGMC vice-chairman. Dr Srinivas reported that over 200 complaints had been received, with actual incidents likely to be 10 times higher. He outlined the harmful effects of unqualified persons performing these procedures, including drug reactions, chemical burns, and sepsis due to inadequate aseptic precautions. Around 70 per cent of clinics are being run by non-doctors and dentists, who are performing aesthetic procedures with unauthorised certificates, Dr Srinivas said. P. Ranjitha, a 21-year-old model, regularly seeks cosmetic treatments. I research the doctors qualifications and patients reviews thoroughly before getting treated, she said.

PoP Ganesha idols still rule peoples mindspace
Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Hyderabad : Even a year after the Telangana Ganesh Murti Kalakar Welfare Association received strictures from the Telangana High Court on defending the use of the Plaster of Paris (PoP), Dhoolpet is awash with Ganesha idols made of PoP. However, there is a significant increase in the number of clay idols, hinting at the rising awareness among people in the city. With Ganesha Chaturthi 43 days away, the idol making is in full swing, with workers sourced from Chennai, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh are on job. During interactions with Deccan Chronicle, the idol sellers at Miyapur, Kukatpally, Nagole and Chaderghat pointed out that most orders were for PoP idols but there is a significant rise in demand for clay idols compared to the previous year. Most people want PoP idols as they are stronger. Generally, if their chosen idol is less than five feet, we recommend clay idols. However, if the height is more than five feet, the customers insist on POP idols, said an idol maker from Dhoolpet. At Khairatabad Ganesh mandap, workers from various states are working day and night to prepare the 70-foot-tall eco-friendly idol. An official overseeing the work at the famous Khairatabad Ganesh said that work was getting delayed due to the rain and they were compelled to double the work force. Apart from local workers, those from Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai are shaping the idol, said Mahesh Yadav, vice-president of Sri Ganesh Utsav committee. The idol for this year will be crafted in the form of 'Saptamukhi Shakti Maha Vinayakudu', which features seven faces, seven snakes, and 14 hands, he added.
With 50,000 farmers, BRS will start water pumping after August 2: KTR
WARANGAL: If the state government does not release water to fill the reservoirs of the Kaleshwaram project by August 2, the BRS leaders will visit Medigadda along with 50,000 farmers to switch the pumps to release water into canals, warned BRS working president K.T.Rama Rao. A team of BRS public representatives led by Rama Rao inspected the water flow at the Medigadda barrage on Friday. Speaking to media persons at the Kannepalli pump house, Rama Rao said the Congress government with its criminal negligence is trying to do injustice to the farmers. It must stop playing cheap politics and should start supplying water immediately by August 2. Otherwise, the BRS along with 50,000 members of farmers will switch on the buttons of the motor pump sets of the Kannepalli pump house. Defending the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation scheme (KLIS), Rama Rao said the lift irrigation was the only way through which water can be supplied to all regions in Telangana. That is why former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had taken up the project at Medigadda, where the Pranahita, Manair and Godavari join. About 10 lakh cusecs of water is flowing waste into the sea. Water can be supplied to Sircilla, Siddipet, Dubbaka, Bhongir and Aleru by switching on one button and can make the entire region fertile. From Medigadda to Hyderabad and to Aler, water can be supplied for irrigation and drinking water. When engineers were asked, they said that the draughting operations which are carried out at Sundilla and Annaram barrages are part of maintenance of the barrages and it is the good time for lifting the water from the project. But the Congress government finding out silly reasons are trying to blame the BRS without lifting the water, he said.

Telangana: 616 PET Posts in Gurukula schools Still Vacant After 7 Years
Hyderabad : The 2017 notification for 616 physical education teacher (PET) posts in Gurukula schools are yet to be filled, despite a seven year wait by candidates. The promises that were not kept, delays and repeated verification processes by the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) have frustrated aspirants. Kanaka Durga, a candidate, speaking to Deccan Chronicle expressed her disillusionment, citing endless verifications without results. The TGPSC initially verified 1:2 candidates but later increased it to 1:4. They claimed to have called candidates for verification without listing them, and now promise to release a 1:1 list by the end of this month, she complained. Candidate Shalini P., expressed frustration, saying, They said they verified 1,185 candidates in the first spell and promised 1:1, but after a month, they called for another round of verification without giving the list. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who had assured immediate postings for the 2017 PET candidates upon coming to power, has failed to deliver, with the issue not even mentioned in the manifesto. We even worry that future DSC exams will not be useful for many of us as we've passed the maximum age of 44 years, having waited for seven long years, said Ravinder Ch, another aspirant. T he TSPSCs justification for calling 2,000 candidates for 616 posts. Aspirants, some now past the age limit for future exams, are demanding swift action and postings by August 15. Weve lost so much time waiting for the 1:1 results. The government must act now and issue posting orders by mid-August, a candidate demanded. The candidates are calling for transparency and fairness from TGPSC, urging the government to issue posting orders promptly and raise the issue in the ongoing Assembly Budget Session.

Telangana HC Issues Notices to Centre, State on Sale of Spurious Seeds, Pesticides
Hyderabad: A division bench of the Telangana High Court, comprising Chief Justice Alok and Justice Anil Kumar Jukanti, issued notices to the Union and state governments directing them to respond to a public interest litigation(PIL) complaining of inaction by them in not containing sale of spurious seeds and pesticides in the state, due to which farmers face the risk of losing their crop yield. The bench was adjudicating a PIL filed by Ravi Krishna Vattam, an advocate from Beeramguda in Sangareddy district. It issued notices to secretary, Union ministry of agriculture, the CEO, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSA), secretary, ministry of environment and forest, principal secretary of the state agriculture department and the commissioner and director, agriculture and cooperation to respond to the notices within four weeks.

BJP mahilas to protest against govt for taking women for a ride Members from the BJP Mahila Morcha burnt an effigy of the state government at Telugu Talli flyover for failing to allocate funds for a number of promises made to women by the Congress in its election manifesto. The Congress government has rendered great injustice to women by completely ignoring the poll promises made to them, said Dr Shilpa Reddy, president of the Telangana BJP Mahila Morcha. The Congress had promised to offer 10 gm of gold and Rs 1 lakh in cash to women getting married and electric scooters free of cost to college-going girls. They had also promised to extend `2,500 monthly financial assistance and a LPG gas cylinder at Rs 500 for women under the Maha Lakshmi Yojana, apart from `Bharosa card to the tune of Rs 5 lakh to girl students. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had promised to make at least one crore women `kotishwarlus. But, the government has not made any budgetary allocations towards these, charged Shipla Reddy She asked women ministers in the state Cabinet and Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi to explain why the Congress government had cheated women. The Mahila Morcha will intensify its agitation against the state government and involve women from all corners of the state if the Congress fails to fulfill the promises made to them, she cautioned.

Docs urge govt to take up HPV vaccination programmes to contain cervical cancer cases
Hyderabad: India stands to gain 16 times its investment by introducing the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to adolescent girls, despite the initial cost exceeding a billion dollars. This is as per the latest report of the World Health Organisation (WHO) on adolescent health intervention strategies. It must be recalled that while presenting the interim budget earlier this year, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that the Centre would promote vaccination for girls aged between nine and 14 years as a preventive measure against cervical cancer. Ironically, there was no mention of this in the full-fledged Union Budget that she presented on Tuesday. The NFHS-5 data reveals that the percentage of adults screened for major cancers such as cervical, breast and oral cancer remains low. Only 3.3 per cent of women aged between 30 and 49 years underwent cervical cancer screening in Telangana. Cervical cancer is a significant health concern in Telangana, representing 8.7 per cent of all cancer cases in the state. It is the second most common cancer among women in the state after breast cancer, said Dr K.V.V.N. Raju, clinical director (oncology) Sindhu Hospitals. Causes of cervical cancer include early sexual activity, which correlates with early exposure to HPV. Early marriages often lead to early sexual activity, increasing the risk of exposure to the virus. Similarly, multiple pregnancies are also linked to virus exposure and the subsequent development of cervical cancer, he added. Dr Raju mentioned that limited access to health services poses difficulties in early screening and identification of cancer. Doctors recommend early vaccination for both girls and boys between the ages of nine and 14 years, ideally before the onset of sexual activity. The HPV vaccine, now available in the market, is relatively expensive and may not be accessible to everyone. The HPV vaccine costs somewhere between Rs 2,000 and Rs 8,000 and has to be taken in three doses, said Dr Vasundara Cheepurupalli, senior consultant gynaecologist at KIMS, Secunderabad. The HPV vaccine should be made part of routine vaccination by the government. It is a good augury that with increased awareness, people are themselves demanding for it in the private sector, she added.

Telangana Govt. Resumes Layout Regularisation Scheme for 25 Lakh Pending Applications
Telangana Government Telangana Government Hyderabad: The state government has initiated the process to regularise unauthorised plots under the long pending layout regularisation scheme (LRS). Over 25 lakh applications have been pending for the last four years. The BRS government launched the scheme in August 2020 but the regularisation process was halted due to legal hassles. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and revenue minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy reviewed the situation at a meeting here on Friday and directed officials to set up special teams in all 33 districts for speedy processing of applications. The meeting resolved to implement LRS in a robust manner, while also ensuring minimal inconvenience to the public. A comprehensive exercise was conducted in the meeting to fine-tune the procedures while going about the implementation process. Stressing the need for a smooth rollout, Bhatti urged officials to prioritise comforts of the public. Officials should ensure that people do not face any difficulties due to LRS, Bhatti stated. Bhatti, also the finance minister, said that in case of staff shortages, they can depute personnel from other departments. The BRS government had called for applications from August 31 to October 31, 2020. In all, they received 25.44 lakh applications, including from panchayats (10.76 lakh applications), municipalities (10.54 lakh) and municipal corporations (4.13 lakh). The state government earned nearly `250 crore through application fees alone. Each applicant had paid Rs 1,000 for small plots and `10,000 for bigger ones towards regularisation. Soon after collection of application fees, the government halted the process citing legal issues. It has remained so for the last four years. The government had received 1.06 lakh applications in GHMC limits, 1.01 lakh applications in Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWM) limits and 50,000 applications in Khammam Municipal Corporation limits. The LRS is expected to fetch around Rs10,000 crore revenue to the state government. Special chief secretary (finance) K. Ramakrishna Rao, principal secretary (revenue) Naveen Mittal, secretary (stamps and registrations) Jyoti Buddha Prakash, special secretary (housing) V.P. Gautham and GHMC commissioner Kata Amrapali were present in the meeting.

Election of Tukkuguda Municipal Chairperson Declared Void
Hyderabad: Justice Lakshminarayana Alishetty of the Telangana High Court set aside the election of K. Madhumohan as chairperson of Tukkuguda municipality at the instance of the councillor Barigela Hemalatha and others. The court held that the participation of Dr K. Keshav Rao and P. Sabitha Indra Reddy in the election as ex-officio members was without the authority of law. The unsuccessful candidate pointed out that Keshava Rao was elected as member of Parliament from Andhra Pradesh and therefore could not have participated as a local MLA. Sabhita Indira Reddy was disqualified as she had opted for a municipality outside Tukkuguda. In a detailed 40-page judgment, Justice Alishetty declared that the election of Madhumohan was void. It said that the second highest securer of votes, Hemalatha, be declared as chairperson. The judge also set aside the direction of the election tribunal to issue a notification for conduct of afresh election. Meanwhile, in a separate application, Madhumohan moved the court seeking suspension of the order for a period of four weeks to enable him to move the Supreme Court. The judge granted two weeks to the aggrieved party to prefer an appeal to the apex court. Lal Darwaza temple finances order modified A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court modified the order with regard to the nitty-gritty of the Sri Simhavahini Mahankali temple at Lal Darwaza in Hyderabad. The panel of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar heard a writ appeal filed by members of the temples trust board requiring it to open a separate bank account and deposit all incomes and offering to the deity to that account. The single judge had made that order while dealing with a writ petition filed by L. Govind Kumar. The petitioner had sought a direction against the commissioner of endowments to take action on the report submitted by the assistant commissioner of endowments, which pertains to alleged mismanagement, irregularities and illegalities by the temple committee within the time frame and that the ensuing Bonalu festival scheduled for July 28 and 29, under his direct supervision or by appointing a special officer for that purpose, and to not release funds to the temple trust pending action on the report submitted by the assistant commissioner. It was contended before the panel that the order of the single judge without hearing the petitioners was in violation of principles of natural justice. The panel accordingly remanded the matter to the single judge to hear the matter after extending an opportunity of hearing to the appellant trustees. The panel also made it clear that all the offerings made during Bonalu would be in the said bank account and will await further adjudication by the single judge. HC notice on Mental Health Act A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court ordered notices in a PIL seeking implementation of provisions of Mental Healthcare Act. The panel, comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar entertained an email addressed by a practicing advocate to the Chief Justice as a public interest litigation. The email sought a direction to the authorities concerned to implement the provisions of the Act by appointing a state authority and district committees to provide facilities and treatment for those who need it and protect the eight lakh mentally disabled persons. It was stated that the family members were not providing treatment to them. Moreover, the state government was not taking any measures to provide treatment to the mentally disabled persons due to which many distraught persons had died by suicide. It was further stated that the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 mandated that every state has to establish the state and district-level panels to protect the affected persons but there are no such in the Telangana. There have been no awareness camps and no activities to protect the mentally disabled persons. The panel considering the same, ordered notice to the respondents and posted the matter for further adjudication. Opthalmologist plea on insensitive transfer Justice Pulla Karthik of the Telangana High Court took on file a writ plea complaining of state insensitivity in not transferring an associate professor of ophthalmology on the grounds of posting of the spouse. The judge was hearing a writ plea filed by Dr Nalini Jayanthi, associate professor of ophthalmology at the Government Medical College, Karimnagar. The petitioner alleged that the state director of medical education and others had failed to consider the case of the petitioner for transfer to a college in Hyderabad despite the fact that her spouse was working in another district. The petitioner alleged that the action of the respondents was contrary to GO dated July 04, 2024. The judge, after hearing the petitioner, directed the respondent authorities to file response and posted the matter for further adjudication.

Uttam accuses KTR of spreading false propaganda on Kaleshwaram Project
Hyderabad: Accusing the BRS party of spreading false propaganda on the Kaleshwaram project issue, Irrigation Minister Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy ridiculed the demand made by BRS Working President K. Tarakarama Rao to fill Kaleshwaram reservoirs by beginning the pumping at Kannepalli Lakshmi Pump House. Speaking at a press conference held at Jal Soudha, Uttam Kumar Reddy dismissed statements made by BRS Working President K. Tarakarama Rao, who demanded filling the Kaleshwaram reservoirs by starting pumping operations at the Kannepalli Lakshmi Pump House. The Minister argued that KTR's suggestions were technically flawed and lacked an understanding of the current situation. He stated that the demand to start pumping at Kannepalli was baseless. If water is pumped at Kannepalli, it must be released to the Annaram barrage, where all gates are currently open as per the National Dam Safety Authority's (NDSA) instructions. The Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages, which sustained huge damages during the BRS regime, were undergoing repairs as per the NDSA guidelines. He emphasized that KTR's statements showed a lack of technical understanding and were merely attempts at gaining publicity. The NDSA, in a report dated May 1, highlighted several critical issues and recommended immediate measures to prevent further damage to the Kaleshwaram project's structures. Among the key recommendations were keeping all gates of the Medigadda Barrage in a free flow state to avoid additional structural damage, completing necessary repairs to prevent further deterioration, conducting comprehensive geophysical and geotechnical tests across the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages, and removing the first four rows of downstream concrete blocks and properly compacting the riverbed. These measures were aimed at addressing immediate structural concerns while a more detailed investigation into long-term solutions continued, he said. Uttam Kumar Reddy said if water is stored at Medigadda, there is a risk of total collapse of the barrage. It might cause a huge loss of life and property. It will damage the Samaka Sarakka barrage, Sitharama project, and other structures along the route. It might fully inundate about 44 villages and even affect the Bhadrachalam town. Therefore, the State government will follow the directions of NDSA, which is an expert body, and not KTR, who is acting like Joseph Goebbels in spreading false propaganda against the Congress party. He said Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages were damaged during the BRS regime. Even an FIR was registered. Now the same BRS is accusing Congress of politicisation on Kaleshwaram. The Irrigation Minister said that the pumping at Yellampally Dam would be started in a day or two. It will be utilized 100% by switching on all pumps. He said the Yellampally project has sufficient water for pumping and release. However, he said water would be reserved to meet the drinking water needs of Hyderabad. Uttam Kumar Reddy accused the previous BRS government, led by Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao, of gross mismanagement and corruption in the execution of the Kaleshwaram project. He said Pranahita Chevella was designed with a single barrage, whereas Kaleshwaram involved the construction of three barrages. The increased number of structures in the Kaleshwaram project led to significantly higher construction costs. The total expenditure for Kaleshwaram was approximately Rs 1,47,427 crores, compared to Rs 38,500 crores for Pranahita Chevella. This substantial cost difference is notable, especially considering the relatively marginal increase in irrigated land area from 16.4 lakh acres to 18.25 lakh acres. Further, Pranahita Chevella's design involved gravity flow for a significant portion of the water conveyance, reducing the need for extensive pumping. In contrast, Kaleshwaram required 100% water lifting through multiple stages, resulting in high operational costs. The annual power bills for Kaleshwaram were projected at Rs 10,375 crores, a significant financial burden. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Pranahita Chevella project, with its single barrage, had a more straightforward environmental and social impact assessment. In contrast, the Kaleshwaram project's three-barrage system caused greater land submergence and displacement issues. Although one of the reasons for relocating the project from Tummidihatti to Medigadda was to reduce submergence in Maharashtra, the overall impact was still significant. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the NDSA's findings highlighted numerous technical issues with the Kaleshwaram project, including inadequate quality control during construction and deficiencies in planning and design. These shortcomings led to structural problems, such as the sinking of piers at the Medigadda Barrage. The rushed implementation and lack of thorough investigation and planning further exacerbated these issues. Pranahita Chevella was initially conceptualized with a more straightforward implementation plan, requiring less complex engineering and fewer structural components. This simplicity likely contributed to lower risks and a more predictable project outcome. In contrast, Kaleshwaram's complexity increased the potential for unforeseen technical challenges, as evidenced by the issues encountered with the barrages. He alleged that KCR and his government had shown utter disregard for expert opinions, leading to a one-man show where even Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) were not followed. He said that the Kaleshwaram project had not only failed to deliver the promised benefits but had also become a financial burden on the state. The annual maintenance costs are projected to be around Rs 15,000 crore, and if fully operational, the project's electricity bills alone could reach Rs 10,375 crore annually. The Congress government has initiated a judicial inquiry into the alleged irregularities and embezzlement of funds related to the Kaleshwaram project. The inquiry, led by Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose, a former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, aims to identify the root causes of the structural issues and hold those responsible accountable. The inquiry has involved visits to the project sites and consultations with stakeholders. Strict action will be taken against those guilty of embezzling and wasting public money, he said. Uttam Kumar Reddy expressed the Congress government's commitment to transparency and accountability. He said the previous BRS Government did not allow Congress leaders, including MLAs, to visit the Kaleshwaram project. However, BRS leaders have visited the barrages multiple times without any restrictions. Instead of feeling ashamed for their previous actions and tendering an apology, they are making Kaleshwaram a picnic spot, he alleged. The Irrigation Minister emphasized that the Congress government was committed to protecting public assets and ensuring the safety of the Kaleshwaram project. He assured that the government would follow the NDSA's recommendations and take necessary actions to prevent further damage. He urged the people of Telangana to be aware of the facts about Kaleshwaram and criticized the BRS for wasting resources and mishandling the project during their tenure. Reddy reiterated that the Congress government is focused on salvaging the project and ensuring that public money is not further squandered.

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy here on Friday instructed officials to conduct an in-depth study to know the problems in Dharani portal, a one-stop destination for carrying out agricultural land transactions in the State. At a review meeting with officials concerned at the Secretariat here, he said authorities must take measures to resolve the issues in Dharna permanently. At the same time, officials should take necessary steps to prevent unnecessary problems after making modifications in various modules available in the portal. Public opinion must be taken before making modifications to the modules and an all-party meeting should be conducted to know the opinion of the parties. A comprehensive law must be enacted after making modifications and if necessary a discussion would be taken up in the Assembly, he added. The previous BRS government has brought Dharani with a malafide intention of robbing some of the rightful owners of their land. The illegalities, errors committed during feeding of land information in the portal resulted in hardships to innumerable numbers of land owners and farmers. All their efforts to get justice went in vain. Due to the error/fraud committed in Dharani they were unable to sell their lands for their needs. They could not meet the expenses for their childrens education, weddings and other family needs. They also lost the assistance which was due to them under Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bheema Schemes. Even Telangana High Court has pointed out the lapses in Dharani As per assurance to the people, the Congress Government has constituted a committee to study the problems that arose due to Dharani.

Infertility Among Men and Women Increasing In Telangana: Doctors
Hyderabad: Infertility is a growing concern worldwide. Changes in lifestyle, genetic factors, and other reasons are leading to an increase in couples facing infertility. Every year, 60-80 million people globally suffer from infertility. In India, the number is approximately 15-20 million. One in four couples in the country faces this issue. In Telangana, 15% of the population is affected by this problem. It is concerning that male infertility rates are rising to 20-30%. IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) has helped many couples who couldn't conceive naturally. On World IVF Day, a special event was organized at the Kamineni Fertility premises in King Koti from 11 AM to 3 PM on Thursday. Along with doctors and staff, many parents who had children through IVF and their kids also attended. Various cultural programs were held during the event. Kamineni Fertility expert Dr. V. Hemalatha Reddy mentioned, Infertility is increasing among both men and women in Telangana. The fertility rate is decreasing in the state. On average, each woman should have 2.1 children, but it's only 1.8. However, men often don't accept their role in this issue and tend to blame women. Many men have low or no sperm count, and in some, sperm motility is very slow. Women face issues like PCOS, hormonal imbalances, obesity, high testosterone levels, fibroids, low ovarian reserve, adenomyosis causing heavy bleeding, and miscarriages. The societal stigma around fertility treatments still exists in some areas and needs to be overcome. Kamineni Fertility has successfully conducted over 11,000 IVF treatments so far, she said. In the same event, Kamineni Fertility expert Dr. Sarika Mudarapu said, Technological advancements have increased. The IVF success rate has risen from 20% in the past to 50% now. Fertility-sparing surgeries, PGT, Endometrial Receptivity Assay (ERA), DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI), and the use of Artificial Intelligence in embryo selection have significantly increased success rates. Cryopreservation now allows effective storage of eggs, sperm, and embryos, making it easier for those who wish to have children later in life. Over the past decade, the number of inquiries about egg freezing has increased significantly, with 50 to 100 people asking about it daily. A few years ago, there were no such inquiries. In urban areas, this is more common now, while in rural areas, couples are quickly opting for fertility treatments, she explained. Main Causes of Infertility: - Blockages in reproductive pathways, leading to erectile dysfunction or insufficient sperm production. - Hormonal issues. - Testicular failure. - Insufficient or poor-quality sperm. - Genetic factors. - Lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity. - Air pollution.
