Vet varsity put heads together for identifying the needs of livestock farmers
Ludhiana: Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University organised a one-day workshop on 'Identifying the Needs of Livestock Farmers in Punjab' at the Centre for One Health, in collaboration with the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB), Hyderabad, under the MILAN initiative. This multi-stakeholder workshop was presided over by Dr J P S Gill, vice-chancellor, who highlighted the evolving role of livestock farmers in Punjab. Dr Gill emphasised the need for collaborative efforts to translate scientific knowledge into practical solutions at the grassroots level. Dr J S Bedi, director, Centre for One Health and organising secretary of the event, welcomed the participants and highlighted the centre's mission to work at the animal-human-environment interface through stakeholder-driven programs. Dr Bedi remarked "Punjab farmers are not just contributors to animal production, they are active partners in science-led progress." Dr Taru Sharma, director, NIAB, shared insights into the objectives of the MILAN programme and stressed the importance of institutional partnerships in addressing regional livestock challenges. The NIAB has a mandate focused on developing a sustainable and globally competitive livestock based economy through innovative science and technology development and entrepreneurship promotion. Dr Taru lauded vet varsity's role in integrating research, field-level engagement, and policy perspectives. The technical sessions included expert lectures by Dr R S Grewal, director of extension education, on modern farm management and Dr Parminder Singh, additional director of extension education, who discussed various challenges in dairy animals and also moderated a panel discussion with the university experts, farmers and veterinarians. Over 100 participants including progressive farmers, veterinary officers, industry representatives and scientists actively engaged in the discussions. The workshop concluded with an open forum to capture grassroots perspectives. The programme served as a robust platform for participatory dialogue and reinforced the role of science-led participatory approaches in advancing Punjab's livestock sector.

Ranieri turns down Italy job to stay on at Roma as senior advisor
Ranieri turns down Italy job to stay on at Roma as senior advisor MILAN - Claudio Ranieri said on Tuesday he has turned down the vacant Italy manager's job, after the four-times world champions sacked Luciano Spalletti, and will stay on with AS Roma as their senior advisor. Former Napoli coach Spalletti, 66, announced his own dismissal on Sunday following Italy's 3-0 drubbing by Norway in their opening World Cup qualifier on Friday. Ranieri, who recently retired for a second time after his spell at Roma last season, said he was honoured to have been offered the job by Italian Football Federation President Gabriele Gravina. "I thank President Gravina for the opportunity, a great honour, but I have reflected and decided to remain available to Roma in my new position totally," he told Italian news agency ANSA. "The Friedkins (Roma owners) gave me their full support and backing for whatever decision I had made regarding the national team but the decision is mine alone." Ranieri helped Roma finish fifth in Serie A last season to qualify for the Europa League. The 73-year-old Italian has been replaced by former Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma.
