Mobilisation programme to develop elementary education launched at Bishnupur

IMPHAL, March 4: A one-day community mobilisation programme to develop elementary education at the grass roots level was launched for the Bishnupur District at the Balaram Khul Upper Primary School

IMPHAL, March 4: A one-day community mobilisation programme to develop elementary education at the grass roots level was launched for the Bishnupur District at the Balaram Khul Upper Primary School in Balaram Khul, Nambol today.

Talking to the media, Sagolsem Rajendra, a member of the resource group created by SCERT and DIET, said the community mobilisation programme aims to discuss the state of elementary primary schools of state under the aegis of the Union Human Resource Development Ministry and National Educational Development (NED) through the SCERT, Manipur.

The programme is initiated under the guidance of SCERT director Meenakumari to develop elementary education and its infrastructure with the active participation of communities.

Rajendra said the State Education minister believes in developing education at the grass roots which means through the elementary and primary level. The programme is conducted for first time in Bishnupur District under Zone IV of Bishnupur ZEO blocks and such awareness programme will continue all across Bishnupur District as per the schedule.

The programme will give awareness about the various problems at the elementary school level and the main focus area is on monitoring the various schemes implemented in the State like whether the universalising of elementary education has succeeded or not etc.

The programme is not only meant for improving the schools but also to lay a foundation for grooming children into a new generation of well behaved and disciplined individuals as the first step of education, Rajendra said.

Meanwhile, the head master in-charge of the Balaram Khul Upper Primary School, Oinam Basanta said the programme is to give awareness to the guardians of students studying in the school. The school was upgraded to an upper primary school but the school is able to conduct classes for those from Class I to VI instead of VIII. The school has 91 students registered while we have eight teachers among whom only two are upgraded teachers, ideally it should be 14 teachers.

Health alert as man suspected to be infected with swine flu brought to RIMS

IMPHAL, March 4: A man with symptoms of swine flu came for treatment at RIMS today. Dr Ratan, who did the check up on the patient at the Casualty Ward

IMPHAL, March 4: A man with symptoms of swine flu came for treatment at RIMS today.

Dr Ratan, who did the check up on the patient at the Casualty Ward at RIMS said, the man`™s wife had earlier been taken for treatment for an ailment at MAX hospital in Delhi.

During the couirse of the treatment, besides her other ailments, his wife also tested positive for swine flu. However, after curing her of swine flu they returned home to Imphal.

However, after reaching here the man had fallen ill and started showing symptoms of swine flu. He complained of having fever, joint pain, body ache etc.

This morning he was taken for check up at the RIMS OPD, the doctor said.

After hearing his complaint, the doctor at RIMS referred him to the Directorate of Health Services, Government of Manipur, to screen for swine flu as there was no facility for this at RIMS.

IFP contacted Dr Sachi Mangang, an Epidermologist at State Directorate of Health Services, to enquire about the case.

Dr Sachi informed that the man`™s wife was suffering from `Auto-immune disease` and they went to Delhi for treatment.

His wife tested positive for swine flu and the diagnosis was done on Feb 13, 2015.

She was treated there only and after she was cleared of the flu virus they came returned home to Imphal.

But as there was suspicion that the man might have caught the flu virus from his wife, doctors at RIMS referred him to the Directorate.

However, the doctors at the Directorate did not see any possible sign of swine flu and he was sent home. His name and address etc were recorded in the log book of the office.

IFP also contacted the Director of Health Services, Dr Okram Ibomcha to enquire about the case.

The Director said the man who came here for check up had already been administered with anti swine flu vaccine during his stay at Delhi for treatment of his wife.

He said his ailment was probably a reaction to the vaccine he was administered.

However, as a precautionary measure he will be under observation for a week starting from the day he came back to Imphal on February 28 till March 7, the Director said.

He was sent home with the advice to stay at home only during this period, he said.

Director Dr O Ibomcha Singh further informed that the symptoms of swine flu are divided into three categories and it is not necessary to test for category A and B. But it is compulsory to test for category C and also needs to be kept at isolation ward, he added.

He said the Directorate had already informed all the hospitals in the State including JNIMS and RIMs to provide isolation wards for treatment of swine flu.
