Karnataka Govt to Table Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill After Budget on March 7

Leave a Comment / / Uncategorized

The Karnataka government is set to introduce the revised Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill in the upcoming budget session, following recommendations from a joint legislature committee that examined the proposal to split the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) into multiple corporations. The 13-member committee, formed in July 2024, submitted its report to the Assembly Speaker on Monday. Committee chairman Rizwan Arshad confirmed that the report would be presented in the Assembly soon after the governor’s address on March 3, with the Bill scheduled for tabling on March 7, following the state budget. The Congress government’s move to restructure the BBMP comes after opposition from the BJP when the Bill was initially tabled in the July 2024 monsoon session. The committee has recommended dividing the civic body into up to seven smaller corporations to improve governance and administration in the rapidly growing metropolis. “Initially, BBMP can be split into two or three bodies, but the Bill will allow the government to decide on further divisions as needed,” Arshad said, emphasizing that the restructuring is crucial for Bengaluru’s development over the next 20-30 years. Piloted by Bengaluru Development Minister D K Shivakumar, this marks the Congress government’s second attempt at restructuring BBMP, after a similar proposal between 2013-2018 was abandoned due to BJP opposition. The proposed Bill is expected to ignite fresh political debates, with stakeholders closely watching its progress in the Assembly. Source: Indian express

Tobacco: The Leading Preventable Cause of Cancer in India, Say Experts

Leave a Comment / / Uncategorized

Tobacco consumption remains the single largest preventable cause of cancer in India, accounting for nearly 40% of all cases, according to leading oncologists and health experts. With cancer continuing to claim millions of lives, doctors emphasize that preventive measures, lifestyle changes, and policy interventions are crucial to curb the disease’s growing burden. Alarming Cancer Risk in India Dr. Anil D’Cruz, a renowned oncologist, highlighted that one in five men and one in eight women in India are at risk of developing cancer due to changing lifestyles, environmental degradation, and a lack of awareness. However, he stressed that cancer is largely preventable if individuals take proactive steps, such as quitting tobacco and alcohol, maintaining a balanced diet, and undergoing regular health check-ups. Tobacco use—whether in the form of smoking or chewing—has been identified as the primary contributor to cancer cases in India. Dr. D’Cruz urged the government to introduce immediate policy measures to curb tobacco consumption and encouraged individuals to quit smoking and chewing tobacco to reduce their risk. The Role of Diet in Cancer Prevention Beyond tobacco, alcohol consumption is another significant carcinogen. Dr. D’Cruz warned against the misconception that moderate drinking is safe, stating that any amount of alcohol increases cancer risk. He also emphasized the importance of a diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as fiber from fruits and vegetables, which can help strengthen immunity and reduce cancer susceptibility. Dr. Subhash Palekar, an advocate of zero-budget natural farming, pointed out that the rise in processed and chemically treated foods has led to an increase in acidic food consumption, which fuels cancer and other chronic diseases. He called for a return to traditional Indian diets rich in millets, pulses, and fresh vegetables to improve public health. Environmental Factors and Cancer Risk Experts also linked rising cancer cases to environmental pollution and urbanization. Dr. Rajendra Singh, a Ramon Magsaysay Award-winning water conservationist, stated that industrial waste and pollution have contaminated natural water sources, leading to a surge in cancer cases, particularly in cities like Mumbai. He warned that deteriorating environmental conditions and poor air and water quality are directly impacting public health, contributing to the increasing incidence of cancer and other serious illnesses. A Call for Proactive Prevention Psychiatrist Dr. Harish Shetty proposed renaming February 4 as ‘World Cancer-Free Day’ instead of World Cancer Day, advocating for a shift from treatment-focused efforts to prevention-based initiatives. He emphasized that every Indian must take responsibility for their health by making informed choices regarding lifestyle, diet, and environmental conservation. Prevention, he argued, is the most effective way to reduce the burden of cancer and ensure a healthier future for coming generations. With India witnessing a steady rise in cancer cases, experts urge greater public awareness, stronger policy interventions, and collective action to combat the disease’s growing impact.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued show-cause notices to 29 schools nationwide following surprise inspections conducted on December 18 and 19, 2024. The inspections, carried out in Delhi, Bengaluru, Patna, Bilaspur, Varanasi, and Ahmedabad, uncovered multiple violations of the board’s Affiliation Bye-Laws. An official notification from CBSE stated, “Upon careful examination of the reports submitted by the inspection teams, it was observed that a majority of these schools had violated CBSE Affiliation Bye-Laws. CBSE has taken serious note of these violations and issued show-cause notices to all 29 schools involved. Each school has been provided with a copy of the respective inspection report and directed to submit their replies within 30 days.” The key violations identified include: Enrollment Irregularities: Cases of enrolling students beyond their actual attendance records, enabling “non-attending” enrollments.

The schools under scrutiny include prominent names such as Hope Hall Foundation School (Delhi), Narayana Olympiad School (Bengaluru), Satyam International (Patna), Nirman High School (Ahmedabad), and Modern Educational Academy (Bilaspur), among others. CBSE’s rigorous action highlights its commitment to upholding educational standards and ensuring compliance across affiliated institutions. The board has emphasized that schools must respond promptly to the show-cause notices, failing which further action will be initiated. This development comes as part of CBSE’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of education and ensure adherence to its regulations, reinforcing its stance against any deviations in operational or academic practices.

Spring Health’s Valuation Jumps to $3.3 Billion After $100 Million Series E

Leave a Comment / / Uncategorized

Mental health funding has been as hot as the weather these past few weeks. Spring Health became the latest startup in the sector to raise big, locking up a $100 million Series E at a $3.3 billion valuation — a 65% increase from the $2 billion valuation it received in 2021 after a $190 million Series C. The new round was led by Generation Investment Management, with participation from existing investors including Kinnevik, The William K Warren Foundation, RRE Ventures, and Northzone. Founded in 2016, the company has raised nearly $467 million, per Crunchbase. New York-based Spring Health partners with employers to provide mental health services to their employees. The company also uses artificial intelligence to help members get care faster. “Our continued growth trajectory means more people are getting the care they need and this new funding allows us to double down on our strengths, increase access, scale our impact, and continue to deliver even greater ROI to employers,” said co-founder and CEO April Koh in a release. Mental Health Funding Ticking Up Just in the past several weeks, mental health has seen its biggest raises of the year. Along with Spring Health, New York-based Talkiatry, a psychiatric care startup, picked up $130 million in mid-June. The round consisted of a combination of Series C equity financing led by Andreessen Horowitz, and debt financing from Banc of California. Then just last week, mental healthcare platform Headway closed a $100 million Series D led by Spark Capital. The new funding values the company at $2.3 billion — a 130% increase just from October when it raised a $125 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation. While well off its 2021 high, mental health funding has remained relatively stable this year.
