Kerala adds emphasis on medical research; to pick the best for awards

The government will continue to place great emphasis on medical research, especially in medical colleges, over the next 5 years

Efforts by the Kerala government to encourage research in medical colleges will be further spruced up with the state’s Health Department declaring that the best research in the health sector shall be awarded.

Dwelling upon the topic of how to make medical research more effective, Kerala Health Minister Veena George said that the government will continue to place great emphasis on research in the health sector, especially in medical colleges, over the next five-year period. All options to make this happen in the most serious manner will be weighed, she added.

Plans to spur medical research to a higher level

Kerala’s medical colleges have already made a name nationally for the best healthcare facilities offered. These medical colleges that excel academically have immense scope for furthering the research activities. This realisation has led the state health department to spur the medical colleges to focus more on research in future.

According to the health minister, “There is great potential for research in the field of health. There are many doctors who have the ability, interest, mind and talent to do research.”

Great potential for research in healthcare

Their research can make a huge contribution to the health sector. Medical colleges in Kerala have many talented alumni from all over the world in the field of medicine. There are many things that can be done with their participation, she added.

The recent workshop on medical research organised by the Medical College Alumni Association in Thiruvananthapuram is seen as a good start in the state’s endeavour to pursue medical research.

The state has more than 10 medical colleges in the government sector, while there are several more in the private sector. The health index of Kerala has been acknowledged as on par with Western countries, and it is doing the best when it comes to healthcare nationally.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
