Must train moms to detect danger signs in newborn: KGMU study
Lucknow: More than half the number of mothers (55.76%) lack adequate knowledge about danger signs in newborn babies such as infections, fever, low body temperature, jaundice and noisy breathing—symptoms that may indicate mild to severe illness. Providing mothers this essential information can help ensure timely treatment and prevent avoidable deaths. A study conducted by the pediatrics department at King George's Medical University, led by Prof Shalini Tripathi, found improvement in mothers' ability to recognise potential health risks in their newborn babies after receiving targeted educational intervention. Published in the International Journal of Pediatrics and Neonatology in Jun 2025, the study focused on mothers of newborns (0–28 days old) admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Nursery Unit at KGMU. Researchers Amrita Singh, Suchana Roy Bhowmik and Anugrah Charan from the same department were also part of the study. The research team used a quasi-experimental approach involving 113 mothers. Their initial knowledge was assessed, followed by an educational session using a specially designed mini-booklet. Follow-up assessments on the second and fifth days measured the impact. Results showed significant increase in mothers' knowledge scores after the intervention. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The sustained improvement indicated efficacy of the programme. Prof Shalini said this knowledge was crucial, as delays in seeking medical care were major cause of neonatal deaths in UP. According to National Health and Family Growth Survey, 28 newborns per 1,000 live births in the state die within a month of birth. "The neonatal period is highly vulnerable, and early recognition of warning signs is critical for a newborn's outcome," said Prof Tripathi, adding, "Our study shows educational intervention can help mothers seek timely care, potentially improving survival rates for sick newborns." She added, "These findings highlight value of structured education. When mothers understand danger signs, they are more likely to seek prompt institutional care, which is crucial to reducing newborn illness and deaths." The study also found that factors such as a mother's education, number of postnatal visits and prior exposure to health information influenced initial awareness. Mothers with higher education and more contact with healthcare services showed greater improvement.

NMC again threatens action against medical colleges not paying stipend
Representative image National Medical Commission (NMC) has yet again issued a public notice threatening to take action against medical colleges that do not pay stipends to interns and resident doctors. With no evidence of any action being taken after similar threats in 2023 and 2024, it remains to be seen whether change in chairman of the commission leads to action this time. Three months back, NMC had threatened to impose Rs 50,000 as penalty on medical colleges which save several crores of rupees every year by not paying stipend. NMC's regulations stipulate that all medical colleges have to pay interns and resident doctors stipend equivalent to what state govt medical colleges are paying. Just three days before the latest public notice dated July 11, NMC had issued another notice shifting the responsibility of addressing grievances of medical students to medical colleges, universities and directorates of medical education of the respective states. Yet, it is now threatening to take action including imposition of financial penalties, withdrawal of course recognition and suspension of admissions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Young Woman Lives in a Shed, Slams Viewers With The Interior Tips and Tricks Undo The latest notice reminded medical colleges that, in keeping with SC order of April 29, all private and deemed universities must disclose detailed information regarding tuition fees, hostel charges, caution deposits and all miscellaneous charges at pre-counselling stage. Citing another order of SC in 2022 and the commission's own regulations, it said payment of stipend was mandatory. NMC threatened that non-compliance would attract action under Establishment of Medical Institutions, Assessment and Rating Regulations, 2023, Maintenance of Standards of Medical Education Regulations, 2023, and Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023. It added that these measures to ensure payment of stipend and for disclosure of various kinds of fees well before counselling were 'a part of NMC's commitment to fostering fair, ethical and transparent practices in medical education across the country'. In April 2023, NMC did a survey among medical college students on stipend being paid to them. An RTI query to NMC revealed the survey showed that over 60 colleges were not paying stipend, while about 50 were paying less than Rs 5,000 a month. In Aug 2023, NMC issued 'an advisory' to all colleges regarding payment of stipend. With SC cracking down on NMC regarding non-payment of stipend, in Nov 2024, the commission issued show cause notices to 198 medical colleges for failing to submit stipend payment data. NMC has written to colleges threatening 'strict action' in Aug 2023, Nov 2024 and now on July 11, 2025. Yet, there is no record of any action being taken against any college for non-payment of stipend till now.

PHED initiates new Bisalpur pipeline project for enhanced water supply
1 2 Jaipur: Even as the Water Resources Department (WRD) rolls out the Ramjal Setu Link Project (RSLP), the state Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) has begun laying the second Bisalpur pipeline to Jaipur. The project serves a dual purpose, which includes increasing the capacity to transfer Bisalpur water to the city and enabling uninterrupted supply during maintenance or repair work. With two pipelines running simultaneously, the department will be able to carry out routine upkeep and promptly address any leakages without disrupting the water flow to Jaipur. Speaking to TOI, a senior PHED engineer said, the department is in the process of selecting and awarding a work order to an agency for the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR). According to the initial plan, the new pipeline will connect the Surajpura filter plant near Bisalpur Dam and the recently commissioned intermediate pumphouse in Renwal, around 10 km away from the PHED's storage facility in Balawala in Sanganer. PHED will also augment the facility of the Surajpura filter plant, while the WRD has started works to increase the intake capacity of this filter plant from the Bisalpur Dam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo At present, PHED has a capacity to transfer around 820 MLD (million litres per day) of water to Jaipur, of which 710 MLD is meant for Jaipur city and the rest for other areas en route. The WRD has agreed to increase PHED (Jaipur)'s share by another 400 MLD from Bisalpur, post-implementation of RSLP. "However, we have plans to commission the second pipeline with a transfer capacity of around 1,500 MLD. The 1,200-odd MLD of water is planned in accordance with the projected population of 2039," an engineer added. Officials said, the implementation of the project has already been delayed by two years. The department planned to prepare the DPR in 2023 and would start the constructions immediately after WRD initiated the RSLP or the erstwhile Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project.
