Rotary to setup Human Milk Bank in Mohali

 

- MoU signed by Rotary Club Chandigarh and Dr B.R.Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences, Mohali 

Mohali, 13 July:  Rotary Club of Chandigarh and the Dr B R Ambedkar State institute of Medical Sciences, AIMS Mohali signed an memorandum of understanding here today to setup a not-for-profit human milk bank.

The MoU was signed by Dr Bhavneet Bharti, Director of the AIMS and Rtn Anil Chadda, President of Rotary Club Chandigarh to setup this unique facility.

Rtn Anil Chadda informed that this would be a boon to pre-term born babies that require human milk, and we have named this project as Rotary Hope Project.

He informed that a philanthropist from Yamunanagar Subhash Garg who is a past district governor in Rotary has contributed Rs. 31 Lakh for setting up the plant and equipment for this project in Mohali.

Dr. Bhavneet Bharti informed that there is a dire need for human milk especially for the preterm babies (born before 37 weeks of gestation) and their number is believed to be 3.5 million every year. 

In this region, we too have similar requirements because donor human milk is protective against many serious diseases like neonatal  sepsis, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis( NNEC), Dr. Bharti said.

The milk is obtained from donor mothers voluntarily, which will be preserved and pasteurised to be used within three months, said Dr. Bharti.

Dr. Bharti who herself joined the Rotary Club Chandigarh shared the idea with the Rotarians who came forward and organized a CSR contribution of a corporate body to fund the setting up of the plant.

She informed that the total project cost is about Rs.1 crore for which a seperate block in the institute has already been readied and the equipment will be installed shortly and we hope to open it up within a month or so.

Rotary Club of Chandigarh is in 65 years of its existence in the city and has to its credit setting up of Rotary PGI Serai, state-of-the-art blood bank in Sector 37, a Rotary Vocational Training Centre in Sector 18, international dolls museum in Sector 23, besides having done over 700 free heart surgeries of children, informed Rtn Pres.

"I wanted to cleanse the toxin from cricket", says Neeraj Kumar author of 'Cop in Cricket'

"I wanted to cleanse the toxin from cricket", says Neeraj Kumar author of 'Cop in Cricket'

 

Chandigarh,  June 9, 2023:

One of the most respected former Delhi Commissioner of Police and BCCI's chief of anti-corruption, and author of 'Cop in Cricket' Neeraj Kumar, IPS (retd) was in the city on an invitation of the Novel Bunch at the IT Park here today.

He was in conversation with another cricket enthusiast and cardiologist Dr. H.K. Bali who probed into the book's corruption in cricket.

I had seen the working of BCCI inside out whose officials had least interest in cricket and being an avid cricket fan myself, I have tried to expose the sheer apathy towards the sportsmen, the spectators, and the game which pained me, Neeraj Kumar said.

Neeraj Kumar  served in the BCCI's Anti Corruption Unit from June 2015 to May 2018, that won him deep respect from the young cricketers whom he accompanied to various national and international cricket tours, but also exposed the maladies, what he calls the 'dark side' of cricket,  that affect the cricket administration.

Betting is just a tip of the iceberg, but the malady goes deep down with the funds being misappropriated at the level of state cricket associations, and nepotism in selection of young players, etc., though he had to also to look out for and prevent any match fixing.

Hardeep Chandpuri of Novel Bunch introduced the author while exIAS officer, TEDx speaker and author Vivek Atray and himself a cricketer, concluded the session.

The event was hosted by Net Solutions.
