Tree Farming Goldmine: Invest Rs 200 In This Plant, Earn Rs 1 Lakh In Return!
At the Maa Sati Dakshayani Temple in Ratanada, near the Badmer district headquarters in Rajasthan's border region, a mahogany tree is thriving despite extreme temperatures reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius. Currently, it stands at a height of 8 to 10 feet. Temple priest Vasudev Joshi has nurtured the sapling with care and dedication over the past three years. He views the tree as a form of future savings, likening it to a fixed deposit, and anticipates a significant return once it reaches full maturity in approximately 12 years. (Local18)
Beyond its timber, mahogany also holds medicinal value. Its seeds, leaves, and bark are used in the treatment of various ailments including cancer, malaria, diabetes, and diarrhoea. The leaves are also employed in the production of insecticides, soaps, paints, and mosquito repellents, while both seeds and leaves are key ingredients in certain potency-enhancing medicines. These diverse uses further add to the tree's overall worth. (Local18)
The sapling, now standing between 8 and 12 feet tall, was originally discovered by Joshi on Facebook, from where he ordered it online for just Rs 200. Importantly, this evergreen species can grow to an impressive height of 50 to 60 feet, maturing fully after around 12 years, at which point its valuable wood may be harvested. For those seeking a long-term, low-maintenance investment, mahogany offers an exceptional opportunity. (Local18)

IOCL donates medical equipment worth Rs 22 cr to SVIMS
Tirupati: TTD Chairman BR Naidu said that Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS) in Tirupati is fast emerging as the best super specialty hospital in the country. Speaking after inaugurating advanced medical equipment at SVIMS on Thursday, he said that the TTD was committed to providing the best healthcare services to the poor, and to strengthen the hospital further, the TTD was allocating Rs 140 crore annually for its development and expansion. On the occasion, the Chairman inaugurated state-of-the-art MRI and CT scan equipment, which were provided with the support of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. IOCL donated medical equipment worth Rs 22.01 crore to SVIMS, a significant contribution towards enhancing the diagnostic and treatment facilities at the hospital. Among the donated equipment is a 3 Tesla MRI scanner, MAGNETOM Vida, costing Rs 14 crore, and a 4D CT Simulator System, SOMATOM used for radiotherapy planning, valued at Rs 8 crore. Speaking to the media, Naidu said that these latest technologies were being installed only in SVIMS, which is the largest super specialty hospital in the Rayalaseema region. The new machines are particularly beneficial for cancer patients, as they help detect tumours with precision and without side effects. The equipment aids in identifying brain disorders and locating cancer growths, while also determining the dosage required for various organs during cancer treatment. Naidu mentioned that these facilities will help provide better treatment to over 2.5 lakh poor patients every year at a minimal cost. IOCL Marketing Director Satish Kumar, who was present at the event, said that their organisation was proud to support SVIMS as part of their social service programmes. He assured that IOCL would continue to participate in such service-oriented initiatives in the future. SVIMS Director Dr RV Kumar stated that under TTD's management, the hospital was offering top-class healthcare free of cost to the poor, while also providing high-quality medical education to students at Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women. TUDA Chairman and TTD Board Member C Divakar Reddy, IOCL Executive Director (HR) Mukesh Rajan, SVIMS Medical Superintendent Dr Ram, Radiology Department Head Dr Vijaya Lakshmi, IOCL representatives Dattatreya, Badrinath, and several other dignitaries were present.

11 years after being given an expired vax, six victims to get Rs 1.25L compensation in Telangana
HYDERABAD: The Telangana Human Rights Commission (TGHRC) has directed the state government to pay compensation of Rs 1,25,000 each to six individuals who were administered expired Hepatitis-B vaccines at Gandhi Hospital in 2014. Terming the incident a serious violation of the victims' fundamental right to health and dignity, the commission chaired by Dr Justice Shameem Akther pointed to systemic lapses and recommended action against the responsible officials, including the superintendent of the hospital. The complaint was filed in 2014 against Gandhi Hospital, alleging that expired Elovac-B Hepatitis-B vaccines were administered to them by Dr V Tara Devi, who was a research fellow at the time. The complainants alleged that the expired vaccines caused side effects such as mental tension, giddiness, drowsiness, stomach pain, and body aches. The Commission had instructed the superintendent of Gandhi Hospital to submit a report which stated that the vaccine pack carried two different dates, one for expiry and another for the syringe and due to this oversight, Dr Tara Devi administered the expired vaccine. Further, the hospital denied negligence on the part of the doctor and attributed the confusion to the manufacturer, who had printed two different dates on the packaging. They also claimed that the expired vaccine was of low potency and unlikely to cause side effects. The Commission also directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police to inspect the drugs at the hospital. Later, Dr Tara Devi was suspended by the hospital administration. However, the Commission found the Superintendent's report unsatisfactory, noting that it failed to adequately address the issue of administering expired vaccines. It stated that the explanation of oversight in such a sensitive matter was unacceptable, especially as it involved patient safety. The Commission also criticised the attempt to shift responsibility to the manufacturer and dealer without addressing the hospital's accountability. It further noted that suspending Dr Tara Devi did not absolve the institution from the responsibility of providing adequate compensation to the affected individuals. The Commission directed that all recommendations be implemented within two months.

Tree Farming Goldmine: Invest Rs 200 In This Plant, Earn Rs 1 Lakh In Return!
A modest mahogany sapling, purchased for just Rs 200, has the surprising potential to turn one into a millionaire within a few years. Mahogany wood is in high demand across international markets, earning it the nickname 'king of timber' due to its durability, rich reddish-brown hue, and water-resistant qualities. It is particularly valued for the production of premium furniture, musical instruments, shipbuilding materials, and decorative pieces. Its high market price abroad has led to it being referred to as a 'money tree'. Increasingly, farmers are cultivating mahogany in their fields, finding it far more lucrative than traditional crops and requiring comparatively little effort.
