Yoga Vital for Health Amid Modern Lifestyle: Collector Adarsh Surabhi
District Yoga Chief Secretary Suguna conducted yoga practice.
Speaking on the occasion, the Collector said that there are chances of many health problems arising while working in a mechanical life, and suggested that yoga should be done every day to overcome them and live in complete health.
He said that since ancient times, our ancestors in India have been doing yoga as a part of life, and in 2014, the Prime Minister of India made it a part of World Yoga Day on June 21. The reason for observing World Yoga Day on June 21 is that the sun's rays on June 21 are longer than other days.
He said that doing yoga every day gives the body health as well as mental peace and the ability to withstand stress.
Similarly, the youth should be careful not to fall prey to drugs. They pledged to inform the police immediately if they know that drugs are being sold or used anywhere, and everyone should work towards eradicating drugs.
Additional Collector Revenue G Venkateswarlu, District Medical and Health Officer Dr. Srinivasulu, Youth Sports Officer Sudheer Reddy, Yoga Secretary Suguna, AYUSH Department Dr. Manjushri, Dr. Omar Ali, Dr. Jyoti, district officials, students and others participated in this yoga program.

8 Early Signs Of PCOS That Most Women Overlook
If women experience irregular ovulation or missed ovulation, thin endometrium, or no dominant follicle, it could be a sign of PCOS. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that leads to the formation of cysts in the ovaries. While its exact cause remains unclear, it's believed to stem from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and mood swings are often mistaken for routine health issues, causing many women to overlook the early signs of PCOS. Dr. Suguna Deepti Kapila, a gynaecologist, took to Instagram on July 9 and provided insights into this hormonal disorder. Dr. Suguna wrote that PCOS often starts silently, and it is common to overlook the symptoms at first, and shared a few early signs that women should watch for. According to Dr. Suguna, early signs of PCOS include: Irregular Periods But Not Absent According to Dr. Suguna, early signs of PCOS include your periods arriving late, generally 35-40 days, sometimes regular, sometimes delayed. She also advised women to watch out for brown spotting and light flow during irregular periods. Weight Gain, Especially In The Stomach Area Gaining weight without major diet changes could count as an early sign of PCOS. Belly and waist fat increase, making you feel bloated very often. Mild Skin and Hair Changes Women should watch out for sudden acne on the jaw or chin area, greasy skin or oily scalp, thicker upper lip or chin hair, and more hair falling from the crown area. Sugar Cravings and Energy Slumps Excessive sugar cravings after meals can also hint at early signs of PCOS. Women should watch out if they feel sleepy or dull after eating and need to depend on caffeine or sugar to stay awake. Skin Darkening in Folds Dark velvety patches on the neck, underarms, or groin area could also be early signs of PCOS. Although it looks like dirt or tanning, it does not go away and makes the skin thicker. Mood and Sleep Disruptions Mood swings and anxiety, especially during or near periods, should also be taken seriously. Women should pay attention if they feel tired even after 8 hours of sleep and have trouble falling or staying asleep. Trouble Conceiving If women experience irregular ovulation or missed ovulation, thin endometrium, or no dominant follicle, it could be a sign of PCOS. Family History In some cases, family history plays a significant role in getting PCOS, and sometimes early hormone pill prescriptions can also heighten the chances of PCOS. Various gynaecologists suggest that having whole foods, getting enough sunlight, working out regularly, cutting down on carbohydrates, and having a well-balanced diet can help in managing the symptoms.

Cannabis cultivation for medicinal, industrial use a boon for farmers, state to frame rules soon: HP Minister Jagat Singh Negi
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], July 12 (ANI): Himachal Pradesh's Revenue, Horticulture and Tribal Development Minister Jagat Singh Negi on Saturday underlined the state government's commitment to promoting the legal cultivation of cannabis (hemp) for medicinal and industrial purposes, emphasizing that 'drug-free cannabis can become a sustainable economic option for farmers, not a source of addiction.' Speaking to ANI a day after the seminar and exhibition at the historic Gaiety Theatre in Shimla, Negi said that the misconceptions about narcotics in industrial use need to be ended first. 'Cannabis cultivation carried out for industrial or medicinal purposes is completely free from narcotic substances. It should not be confused with illegal or wild hemp that naturally grows in many regions and contains addictive elements,' he said. 'The government is committed to creating a prosperous, drug-free Himachal. Cannabis grown for medical and industrial use is not for intoxication, it is for healing and industry,' said Negi. The seminar, which focused on the medicinal and industrial use of hemp, showcased dozens of products made from cannabis including food items and pharmaceutical extracts by stakeholders from Himachal and other states. The minister, who inaugurated the event, interacted with industry experts and explored exhibition stalls to understand the range of hemp-based products. 'There is a false perception among people that cannabis is only a narcotic substance. But industrial hemp is completely different. It has no intoxicating effect and is being used worldwide for medicines and eco-friendly products,' he explained. The event featured presentations on the Uganda Cultivation Project, medical hemp business models, and ecological planning of cannabis by leading companies and experts in the field. Notable speakers included Rohit Chauhan (Incare Labs, Kannarma), Dr. Piyush Juneja (Ayurinstinct Healthcare), Hanish Katnawar (Himalayan Hemp Industries), Bhavik Vipul Shah (Think The Himalayan Hemp Corporation), Kanika Sood (India Hemp & Cannabis Network), Dr. Rashmi Punhani, and Anil Kumar (Pi Hemp Pvt Ltd), Siddharth Gupta (Indian Hemp Store), Delzad Dolallywala (Bombay Hemp Company), and government legal advisor Deven Khanna. Negi also recalled that in 2023, the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly had set up a Joint Committee to explore the viability of legal cannabis cultivation in the state. The committee, chaired by him, included legislators Sundar Singh Thakur (then Chief Parliamentary Secretary), Dr Janak Raj, Hans Raj, and Puran Chand. 'We visited several states like Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir to study existing hemp models and assess the legal and economic frameworks,' he said. Based on the committee's recommendation, the Assembly passed a resolution in the Monsoon Session of 2024 to legalize hemp cultivation for medical and industrial purposes. The minister said that rules for its implementation will be framed soon, and the process to grant licenses for medicinal and industrial hemp farming will begin in phases. 'We expect farmers to get good returns per bigha from industrial hemp. It will open avenues in agriculture, health, and green industries,' said Negi, adding that steps are being taken to ensure strict regulation to prevent misuse. He emphasized that only certified, drug-free seeds will be allowed for cultivation, and medicinal cannabis-based products will be separately regulated with licensed processing units. 'The aim is not to promote addiction but to harness the healing and economic potential of hemp for the benefit of our people,' he added. (ANI)

CS directs collectors to review progress of Indiramma Houses and issue sanction proceedings
Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao has directed the district collectors to review the progress of Indiramma houses and issue sanction proceedings for eligible beneficiaries. The collectors should take steps to ensure that houses were grounded immediately. The Chief Secretary held a video conference with district collectors on Tuesday to review the progress of Vana Mahotsavam, Indiramma housing scheme, availability of fertilizers, Oil Palm Expansion, Bhu Bharathi, seasonal illness and other issues. Officials from Revenue, Housing, Health, Agriculture and Forest department attended the video conference. He exhorted the district collectors to think innovatively for making a lasting impact in the lives of the people. There was tremendous scope for the collectors to take up the development and welfare programmes in their districts which in turn would go a long way in the upliftment of the poor and downtrodden. On Vanamahotsavam, the collectors were told to conduct the district monitoring consultative committee meeting and review the progress with the departments concerned. There was need to ensure that good quality seedlings were kept ready for planting with a special focus on plantation of fruit bearing species besides taking steps to keep a watch on the survival of the planted saplings. Environment and Forests Minister Konda Surekha suggested that a targeted approach could be adopted involving all the departments in the tree plantation programme. Vacant lands in the districts should be identified to take up plantation in a big way. Agriculture Secretary Raghunandan Rao informed that sufficient quantities of fertilizer stocks were available and it was for the collectors to ensure that no panic buying or hoarding took place. The special officers should visit the fertilizer dealers in their respective districts and take stock of the situation, he said. Mr. Ramakrishna Rao informed that more than eight lakh applications were received during the revenue sadassus held across the State. The collectors were directed to personally monitor the applications and take steps to dispose them with a humane approach. The collectors were also asked to be alert on the spread of transmissible illnesses and vector borne diseases due to the onset of monsoon. On TB Mukth Bharath Abhiyan, he asked the district collectors to prepare a plan of action and conduct convergence meeting involving DMHOs, Hospital Superintendents, Red Cross and Indian Medical Association. Besides, the district collectors were asked to take stock of the requirements of medical colleges especially from HR perspective and take appropriate steps.
