With the Covid-19 restrictions easing, people have once again resumed their normal lives. The pandemic took a toll on all of us and children along with senior citizens were the worst victims of the disease due to the unavailability of Covid-19 vaccines. As online classes have ended and children have started going back to schools, there is an emerging trend of increasing viral infections among them, with many children falling ill more frequently than usual. While the school reopening brought normalcy to the lives of the little ones, however, the gap of two years has compromised the immunity of the children. Due to the increased precautionary periods and a longer stay at home, many children have not been infected for a long time which is now taking a toll on them and is a probable cause behind them falling frequently ill. Several cases of children with pre-existing health conditions and younger age groups have been found with increasing complaints of cough, allergies, viral infection, water-borne diseases, respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal infections. This has highlighted the need for parents to take precautionary measures and adopt measures to boost the immunity of their children. Precautionary measures that parents can take Avoid Sedentary Lifestyle According to a recent study, during the pandemic, the physical activity of school-going children had been reduced by 70% or less than 15 minutes a day, due to which their chances of falling sick have drastically increased. Leading a sedentary lifestyle can be dangerous for both kids and adults as it not only increases obesity but also gives rise to chronic illnesses. Therefore, as we normalize, it has become critical for parents to limit the screen time of children and ensure that they get at least 60 mins of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. A sedentary lifestyle not only impacts the child’s immunity but also hinders their physical growth. Hence, ensuring a balance between playtime and studies is now extremely critical for the parents. Ensure regular and sleep cycle For over two years children have been battling with irregular sleep cycles which is also a probable cause behind their poor immunity. The pandemic not only increased the screen time of the children but also made it difficult for them to keep up with their routines. Parents must ensure that their child gets sufficient sleep which is essential for their immune system. Maintaining a proper sleep cycle helps in strengthening a strong innate and adaptive immunity and can also help the children in avoiding any severe allergic reactions. Adopt a balanced diet and hygiene practices Dr. Chetan Ginigeri, added, “Children love to eat unhealthy foods like pizza, burgers and colas etc. This often leads to obesity among them and increases their chances of inflammation. Parents need to understand that regular consumption of a diet with high additives, preservatives and sugar can weaken their child’s immunity. Therefore, parents must develop a practice to include at least 5 vegetables in their family’s diet every day that can boost the child’s immunity and improve his/her digestion. Additionally, teaching healthy hygiene practices to your child at home will ensure that they will follow similar measures at school. Teaching your child the proper hand hygiene practices will prevent them from dirt and dust and other gastrointestinal infections”. It is also important to note that on average school-going kids can have five to six colds a year and hence, parents must avoid panicking if they notice any symptoms. If your child is feeling under the weather and has severe symptoms then parents consult a paediatrician to avoid any complications from water-borne diseases, typhoid and hepatitis. Lastly, you must take your child’s vaccination schedule seriously. In case you’ve missed out on any, schedule an appointment immediately.

To economically empower smallholder farmers in rural India, Bayer, Rabo Partnerships and Mastercard have entered into a partnership to launch a scalable program to advance the digitization of the country’s agricultural finance ecosystem. This collaboration brings together the decades of expertise of the three companies in digital & Agri finance and payments technology to bear upon the task of expanding access to agronomic knowledge, products, services, and partnerships. Over five years, the program aims to benefit 10 million smallholder farmers in India by enabling them to gain easier access to formal financial services. Help farmers get the best value for their produce Smallholder farmers account for 86% of India’s agrarian economy but have difficulty sourcing quality farm products and are often at the mercy of middlemen when it comes to pricing. Mastercard’s Farm Pass is a digital ecosystem platform that works offline, even with feature phones, connecting buyers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and other agriculture ecosystem players with farmers digitally, and helping them get the best value for their produce. The solution, which serves over 600,000 farmers in India and two million globally, creates a standard interface for farmers and buyers that facilitates greater efficiency in the agriculture value chain. Banks often find it difficult to serve the rural ecosystem effectively as most farmers don’t have a formal credit history thereby limiting access to any formal financial services beyond Kisan Credit Card and equipment finance. To further provide financing access to farmers and FPOs, this partnership will continue to look at collaborations with local banks and financial institutions in India to create greater value for smallholder farmers and the entire Agri ecosystem.  This will be enabled through data-driven scoring tools deployed with partner financial institutions along with credit analytics supported by Rabo Partnerships, which will give banks more comfort in serving smallholder farmers with a complete portfolio of financial services, including credit. A unique cooperation The program is part of Bayer’s commitment to reach 100 million smallholder farmers worldwide by 2030 with much-needed inputs, digital tools and financial services. Bayer’s FarmRise provides various digital advisory services to smallholders today and through Mastercard’s Farm Pass digital platform, farmers will gain access to new marketplaces and a much wider pool of potential buyers, enabling them to improve their livelihoods in a commercially sustainable way. Rabo Partnerships will enable access to financial services over the platform by the Indian financial sector, by enabling data-driven credit scoring, credit analytics and product development within the partner financial institutions. D Narain, President, Bayer South Asia and Global Head of Smallholder Farming said, “Bayer has been working with farmers to increase their income and productivity by enabling access to best-in-class products, the latest technology, and low-cost finance. Its initiatives like Better Life Farming, food value chain partnerships, etc. are already transforming the lives of millions of farmers in India. We are delighted to now join hands with Rabo Partnerships and Mastercard to build a digital ecosystem, that will further help smallholders in India. Through this partnership, smallholder farmers will not only gain easier access to agricultural advisory services and direct market linkages, but also build their credit profiles and lower their input costs through access to institutional credit, allowing them to increase efficiency, improve crop yields, and grow their profits significantly.” Nikhil Sahni, Division President, South Asia, Mastercard said, “As part of Mastercard’s pledge to connect one billion people to the digital economy, the company has been actively working with farmers in several countries to bring them onto a digital platform that directly connects them with buyers, empowering them to negotiate the best price for their produce. This is in line with the Indian government’s efforts towards inclusive growth by leveraging technology. The collaboration with Bayer and Rabo Partnerships is helping build a very effective model of agricultural digitization that can serve as a global example.” David Gerbrands, Global Head Advisory & Inclusive Ventures, Rabo Partnerships said: “Rabo Partnerships aims to contribute to the improvement of farmer livelihoods worldwide. Achieving this requires sustainable partnerships, which is why Rabo Partnerships is excited to partner with Bayer and Mastercard to establish a scalable digital ecosystem, enabling farmers and as well as other agricultural value chain partners with a wide array of services, including agro advisory, inputs procurement, marketing, and access to formal financial services.” About Bayer Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in the life science fields of health care and nutrition.

Arshabh can identify the national flags 230 countries in 8 minutes, an unimaginable feat Slowly but steadily overcoming his asociality and delayed speech issues, Arshabh looks forward to keep making and breaking records. Seven year old Arshabh Behera from Orchids The International School,  Newtown, Kolkata has amazed his parents and teachers alike by achieving the world record in identifying flags of 230 countries within 8 minutes and has entered the ‘Forever Star Book of World Record’. “Arshabh’s interest was identified when he started watching videos about the names and flags of different countries on YouTube, when he was only 5. Today, he can draw any country’s flag and identify them, name all the 50 states of the USA and speak Russian, Greek and Spanish alphabets. Arshabh has significant communication issues and he lacks social skills. He takes time to open up and speak to people. Schools had rejected taking him in, and it was Orchids who accepted him wholeheartedly and instilled confidence in him. The teachers here are very helpful and helped my son unleash his talents. Recently he even went on a field trip from his school – his first trip without his parents”, said Mrs. Smruti Rekha Behera, Arshabh’s mother. Prior to this, he has also won ‘Iconic Star National Level Talent Search Event’ and ‘Inspiring Talent Awards’, “Though he is not very fluent in speaking yet, his enthusiasm deserves to be applauded. His parents and teachers also encourage him to participate in different competitions in school. It warms our hearts to see his growth! Arshabh’s achievements have proven that children who take time in developing their communication and social skills are equally capable of leading a fruitful life. All they need is some time and patience. Every day that he thrives, we are reminded that neuro-diversity must be accepted, promoted and celebrated in our society”, said Mrs. Sonia Paul, Arshabh’s class teacher. Mrs. Behera also said, “Children like Arshabh must be handled with care and patience. My husband and I are extremely patient when it comes to our son’s overall development. We know that he needs time and we believe that one day he will be able to speak normally and mix with society and make us and his school proud.”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. VS Hospitals in association with Ethiraj College for Women today formed a “Pink Ribbon” to raise awareness on Breast Cancer. Around 800 students from Ethiraj College for Women stood together carrying a pink umbrella to form a pink ribbon on the Madras University ground at Chetpet. During the Breast Cancer Awareness event held at Chetpet today, VS Hospitals` new initiative “Pink India Movement” was launched by the Honourable Minister of Health and Family Welfare Thiru Ma Subramanian in the presence of Thiru V. M. Muralidharan, Chairman – Ethiraj College for Women, Prof. Dr. S. Subramanian, Founder Chairman & Managing Director – VS Group of Hospitals, Prof. Dr. S. Sundar, Medical Director, VS Group of Hospitals and Mr. Muthu Subramanian, Executive Director – VS Group of Hospitals. The Pink India Movement was started to spread awareness about breast cancer among women and propagate the need for early detection and regular screening all through the year. Speaking at the event, Thiru. Ma. Subramanian elaborated on the magnitude of the disease, “Breast cancer is one of the most common and aggressive forms of cancer in India and more than 2 lakh women in India were estimated to have been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. One woman gets diagnosed with breast cancer every 4 minutes in India, and one woman dies of breast cancer every 13 minutes. The average age of developing breast cancer has also undergone a significant shift from 50 – 70 years to 30 – 50 years. There has been a recent increase in breast cancer in younger women.” Thiru V. M. Muralidharan, Chairman, Ethiraj College for Women reiterated that the awareness of Breast Cancer Awareness should start from college days and urged the students and the crowd to raise the importance of self-breast examination with their loved ones and to spread the word. Commenting on the initiative, Prof. Dr. S. Subramanian, Senior Most Practising Medical Oncologist in the Country and Founder Chairman & Managing Director, VS Group of Hospitals said, “Breast cancer accounts for 25% to 32% of all cancers in women in Indian cities and is the second most common cancer in rural areas. Incidence of breast cancer in Chennai is the highest at 42.2 per lakh (age-adjusted rate AAR). Those with a genetic predisposition, have a higher risk of breast cancer. Early menarche and late menopause in women are some of the other reasons for breast cancer. There is a lot to be desired in terms of treatment outcome in our country, since most of the cases are detected at a very late stage of the disease, and the chances of survival reduce considerably. Early detection and treatment are one of the most efficient ways of addressing this issue. The social awareness about breast cancer is very less in India, and among those who are aware, there`s an undue hesitation to get immediate medical attention.” As one of the leading providers of cancer care in TamilNadu, VS Hospitals endeavours to constantly conduct cancer awareness evenents of large magnitude to ensure that the importance of cancer screening is showcased to the world.
