Dr. Jitendra Singh inaugurates Afro-Asian conclave on diabetic children

5102014

Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, MoS in PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space has inaugurated Afro-Asian conclave on diabetic children, here today. The Minister of State in his inaugural address said that in our preoccupation with rapidly spreading epidemic of adult Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus, there is sometimes a tendency to ignore the fact that there are over 75000 children with Type-1 Juvenile Diabetes in India who require lifelong insulin for survival.

Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled that very early in his career as a medical practitioner and Diabetologist, he had realized that a high rate of death or mortality among such children was because of the fact that in many cases, the parents were unable to afford insulin for lifelong treatment and, therefore, ever since 1996 he made it a rule for himself to provide free insulin to every destitute diabetic child who was insulin-dependent. Till date, he said, there are dozens of such children who have received free insulin from him, some of whom have since grown up, married and employed.

Appealing to all the medical practitioners to adopt this approach of free insulin to destitute diabetic children, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that to bring about a smile on the face of these little ones is the highest form of worship equal to a religious pilgrimage and for a medical practitioner, it is as holy as paying obeisance at a temple, mosque or any other place of worship.

Referring to the Changing Diabetes in Children (CDiC) program which was dedicated to the country by the former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that to strive for the care of economically deprived diabetic children is one way of serving the nation through the profession.

Emphasizing on the means of self-management for better outcomes in diabetic care among children, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that awareness programs for children ought to be innovative, child-friendly and capable of capturing the interest of the young and adolescent minds. Even as insulin injection is the only viable option available for survival of such children today, Dr. Jitendra Singh hoped that very soon there would be a viable oral insulin option also available with us.

Dr. Jitendra Singh assured of every support from the Ministry of Science & Technology to the initiative for helping diabetic children and also for preparing a registry of Type 1 diabetic children in the country.

ICC calls on Saudi Arabia to arrest Sudanese president

5102014

Oct 5,

The judges of the International Criminal Court, ICC have issued an order asking the Saudi Arabian authorities to arrest Sudanese President Omer Hassan al-Bashir who is performing pilgrimage in Mecca. The order was in response to an urgent request from the ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda seeking cooperation of Riyadh in apprehending Bashir.

Saudi Arabia is not a state party to the ICC’s founding charter thus has no obligation to cooperate with the court. The ICC issued two arrest warrants against Bashir in 2009 and 2010 for alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed in Darfur. Bashir is the first sitting head of state charged by the Hague based court since its inception in 2002.

NDMA Dullards Responsible Patna Gandhi Ground Stampede

NDMA Dullards Responsible Patna Gandhi Ground Stampede
October05, 2014 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com

India has National Disaster Management Authority functioning since
2005 and there are state level Disaster Management Authorities also.
Bihar also has fully functional BDMA but as given in the following pdf
report mere functions as Relief Distributor.

I was responsible for Maintenance of ‘Asian Games’ JN Stadium East
Wing in 1982. Organizers carried out Security Drills, Rehearsals to
study 75,000 visitors could exit the stadium in 15 minutes after end
of program when there were 12 Wide Exits fully open, in Patna Gandhi
Ground there was no awareness of how 500,000 people shall exit in
darkness. It was Gross Negligence of BDMA/NDMA to train Police Force
in Crowd Control and Safety Precautions. In absence of Lighting in the
large ground Event Should have ended early at say 4:30PM – same
applies to Political Rallies.

NDMA lacking Professional Competence & Leadership had totally flopped
to even Prevent or Manage Floods which appears to be its only domain.
In floods since 2005 there was no preparation visible – there was no
monitoring of Flood Control Structures. My interventions and campaign
Prevented Drowning of Punjab in 2008 and 2010 Floods – Pakistan has
blocked or restricted outflow of Satluj River which also carry Beas
River waters – any Releases from Bhakra or Pong Dams would have
drowned half of Punjab at peak flood event.

Gross Incompetence of NDMA is reflected by the fact that it Failed to
Establish ‘Emergency Stores to keep say 1000 Tones of Foods, Medicines
& Equipments’ which had to brought in by Air Force from South India
for floods in Kashmir.

Actually I was introduced to NDMA when my friend call me to inform me
about NDMA workshop on ‘Bird Flu’ and ‘Nuclear Accident’ prevention &
management. But engaging RETIRED and UNFIT Officers is worst
management in itself.

http://disastermgmt.bih.nic.in/daily%20flood%20report%202014/daily%20flood%20report-19-09-14.pdf
There was heavy rains reported in Bihar on 19-09-2014 but BDMA merely
states in one line the Cumulative Rainfall.

As given in the case of Bihar Disaster Management Authority entire
effort is towards Flood Relief Works – no mention of Rail, Nuclear,
Industrial, Air Accidents, Land Slides, Epidemics, Flood Prevention,
Fire Accidents, Forest Fires and Managing Crowds as at Gandhi Ground.

Cabinet Minister Rank but appointing a ‘Dullard’ means REPEAT Floods
and No Prevention of Floods. NDMA need TOP TECHNICAL EXPERT.

Even in Flood Management where it Controls Central Water Commission –
Dullards in NDMA have no control over DAM OPERATIONS. UKAI DAM and
BHAKRA DAMS are not depleted to say 20% or lower level at the end of
Monsoon Cycle – Dams generate less power during peak summer when most
expensive, reduce Irrigation Supplies and Minimize Flood Control
capacity.
