Nadda urged to give permission for MBBS admission in two Odisha medical colleges
Agency: PTI Bhubaneswar, Aug 5 (PTI) The Odisha government on Tuesday urged Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda to grant permission for admission in 100 MBBS seats in two new government-run medical colleges of the state for the academic session 2025-26. Odisha Health & Family Welfare Minister Mukesh Mahaling, along with Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan who hailed from the state, and others, met Nadda in New Delhi and raised this demand. Mahaling requested Nadda to issue for Letter of Permission (LoP) for admission of 100 MBBS seats in the 2025-26 session in each of Pavitra Mohan Pradhan Medical College (PMPMC), Talcher and Government Medical College (GMC), Phulbani, a statement issued by the Odisha health department said here. Both institutions have recently been established to cater to the growing demand in the medical education sector of Odisha. The respective deans and principals of these two institutions had already submitted their applications for LoP on January 18, 2025, through the National Medical Commission (NMC) portal, the statement said. The NMC teams had also conducted physical inspections of the Pavitra Mohan Pradhan Medical College in June 2025 and Government Medical College, Phulbani in May last. The state government has provided the budgetary grants to enhance facilities and ensure quality medical education at both institutions, it said. When the LoP is granted, two more government medical colleges will be added to the state's healthcare infrastructure, increasing the total number from 14 to 16 government medical colleges. Consequently, the total number of MBBS seats in government institutions will increase to 1800.

What killed four Asiatic lions in 10 days in Gujarat?
The death of four Asiatic lions in the past 10 days—three cubs and a lioness—has cast gloom over Gujarat's Amreli district and the wildlife conservation community in the state. The carcasses were found in the Jafrabad-Rajula area, a satellite habitat beyond the core Gir National Park, sparking alarm among local people and conservationists forest department, tasked with safeguarding the world's only Asiatic lion population, has been thrust into the spotlight as questions abound about the cause of these minister Mulubhai Bera addressed the crisis with measured caution, stating: 'Three lion cubs died near Kagvadar village, and a lioness was found dead on the outskirts of Mandardi village. This is extremely unfortunate.' He emphasised that blood samples from three other lionesses and six cubs had been sent for testing, with preliminary reports suggesting natural causes of death such as anaemia or conservator of forests Dhananjay Sahu echoed this, noting that two cubs rescued earlier had succumbed to weakness and pneumonia and that no epidemic had been confirmed. The forest department also ruled out a viral outbreak like Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) for now, but testing continues at the Babarkot Animal Care Centre in Amreli district. Local people are sceptical. Many in Jafrabad and Rajula suspect a 'mysterious virus' akin to the 2018 outbreak that had claimed 25 lions in the same region. Fears of CDV or Babesiosis, a tick-borne disease causing anaemia and jaundice, run in the vicinity of the deaths are demanding swift action: a thorough investigation, increased veterinary presence and better infrastructure, including more rescue vehicles and water facilities for lions in the revenue MLA Hirabhai Solanki accused the forest department of negligence, pointing to an unopened rescue centre in his constituency. J.V. Kakadiya, the MLA of Dhari, wrote to minister Bera, urging a probe into possible viral causes and criticising the forest department's response as 'unsatisfactory'.The 2018 Gir outbreak remains a grim benchmark. In September-October that year, 34 lions died owing to disease outbreak and infections like CDV and Babesiosis. The forest department had responded by isolating the sick lions, vaccinating the healthy ones and enhancing monitoring, which helped curtail the epidemic.A similar CDV outbreak in Tanzania's Serengeti in 1994 had wiped out about 1,000 lions, underscoring the vulnerability of concentrated populations. These events highlight why experts advocate geographic dispersal to mitigate disease all brings us to the 2013 Supreme Court order, which mandated translocating Asiatic lions from Gir to Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh to create a second population, thereby reducing extinction risks from epidemics or disasters. Twelve years on, the order remains on officials have resisted, citing the state's conservation success and local identity pride in the lions. They argue that initiatives such as the Rs 2,900 crore Project Lion, approved in 2023, and translocation within Gujarat to the Barda Wildlife Sanctuary (about 100 km from Gir) address these experts argue that Barda's small size and low prey base make it inadequate for Asiatic lions while Kuno offers a better long-term solution. The Gujarat forest department counters the narrative by highlighting the lion population's growth and the state's model of human-wildlife this, the 2025 lion census paints a complex picture. Amreli district, including Jafrabad and Rajula, hosts 339 lions, a 45.5 per cent increase from 2020, reflecting robust growth of the population. However, 507 of the 891 lions in the state now roam outside Gir, increasing human-lion conflict and disease exposure in areas such as Rajula and Jafrabad. This expansion, while a conservation triumph, underscores the urgency of addressing health Amreli mourns its fallen lions, the tension between conservation success and emerging risks grows. The forest department's assurances clash with local demands for accountability even as the spectre of past outbreaks and an unheeded Supreme Court order loom to India Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch

Delhi HC forms panel to determine autistic students school
Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) The Delhi High Court on Tuesday formed a committee of experts to evaluate whether a girl diagnosed with autism can be admitted in a private school in the capital or she needs a school for children with special needs. A bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela passed the order on an appeal filed by GD Goenka Public School against an order directing it to admit the child in Class 1, or in an age-appropriate class, as a fee-paying student. 'To allay apprehension in the mind of the appellant we propose constitution of a committee of experts, along with her mother and school counsellor, to evaluate the girl and give its opinion as to whether she can be admitted in G D Goenka or a school of children with special needs," the bench said. The bench also directed the doctor concerned to examine the child to conduct any study that was required to come to the conclusion. The court was hearing appeal against a July 1 order of a single judge of the high court, saying 'inclusive education" was about belongingness, recognising that every child had a place in the classroom not because they were the same, but because they were different, as the difference enriches the learning environment for all. The petition before the single judge bench claimed the child was born in May 2017, and in November 2019, a doctor suspected her to be suffering from autism and started her therapy, which was interrupted by Covid-19. The child was admitted to the school in academic session 2021-22 under the 'sibling clause" and her parents informed the institution about the speech delay in the admission forms. In December 2021, the child was diagnosed with mild autism and was recommended various therapies. When the offline classes resumed in April 2022 after the Covid-19, the parents submitted the diagnosis to the school and requested support in the form of a shadow teacher, or allowing 'special educator" to assist her in the classroom, the petition said. Due to constant pressure and lack of support from the school, education of the petitioner was stated to have been discontinued from January 2023. The court said the child should be permitted to attend school with the assistance of a parent-appointed shadow teacher, subject to the school's basic norms of decorum and safety. It further directed the Directorate of Education to monitor the reintegration of the child and ensure the school provides an inclusive and non-discriminatory environment.
