Osmania Medical College, launches the first of its kind Skill Lab in Telangana!
Hyderabad, March 16th, 2023: The iconic Osmania Medical College, launched the first of its kind ‘Skill Lab’ in Telangana; at its campus in Koti, today. Chief Guest Dr. K Ramesh Reddy, Director of Medical Education, Telangana; inaugurated the Skill Lab, a much-awaited milestone in the history of the institute. Dr. P Shashikala Reddy, Principal, of Osmania Medical College; presided over the function. Dr. Anuradha Medoju, Regional Director (MofH & FW), and Dr. Pandu Naik, Nodal Officer, Skill lab; graced the occasion. Skill Lab is a prototype demo and learning facility for healthcare professionals to fine-tune their clinical skills, prior to real-life application.
The Skill Lab is funded by the Department of Human Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India under National Emergency Life Support. It will cater to nearly 500 undergraduates and postgraduates and several hundred para-medical technicians every year. The Lab is a valuable platform for medical professionals to practice procedural skills like Trauma management, Basic life support, Paediatric emergency, Obstetrics emergency, and acute cardiac management.
Dr. K Ramesh Reddy speaking on the occasion said, in our training programs the hands-on skills which we need to tackle emergency cases are really lacking in many of our colleagues, it is something that is very important. When we were students these types of labs were not available and literally we used to get trained in the casualty. It was a different attitude at that time. The education of the younger generation has shifted from skill learning to bookish learning, they are more dependent on volumes of literature available to them. They are not showing interest in the treatment of the patients, which will make a lot of difference in the days to come in the overall medical management. We need to take this very seriously and all the departments, especially the clinical departments should ensure proper training of the students in emergency skills. This is one area that is dynamic and a few minutes could make or break the situation. One has to be very active and try to tackle so that we will be able to save a life and give a quality life which is equally important. If it is delayed, the individual goes into a vegetative state, imagine the torture for the family. Here the skill labs will make a lot of difference. As per our university program, all the House Surgeons are trained in Basic Life support. But it’s a very short structured program, how many are concentrating on it and moreover, this course is conducted at the end of the course, because it becomes mandatory, it needs a certificate. That shouldn’t be the way, what I suggest is this training should be done at the time when they finish their final year and are ready to go for an internship. Because the internship is the real training ground for all of us and that is where especially management of trauma, the critical care skills, need to be structured in such a manner that respective departments train the students so that they will be able to put their skills to proper use. The Government of Telangana is very serious about mass training of CPR. You would have seen our Hon’ble ministers Harish Rao garu and KTR garu, conduct the inaugural program for CPR at different levels. The genesis of these skill labs was to not only train the doctors, paramedics, and Asha workers involved in the medical system but also police and sanitary workers should be trained in these skills. The state government is procuring mannequins so that programs can be done in different sections. For that this training is very important because if you don’t have proper trainers this program will be a total waste. We need to have properly trained trainers available in good numbers in every nook and corner of the state, so that even the mass CPR program can be done for common masses too on regular basis. Off late, we are seeing young people dying, they are just collapsing and dying, and some of them could benefit from a proper CPR at the right time. A similar Skill Lab facility will be shortly made available at Gandhi, Kakatiya Medical College, Nizamabad, and Siddipet, also shortly will seek sanction for all the 17 medical colleges in the government sector in Telangana. Government of India has given a structured training program, without any deviation from that, a proper training program has to be held. Even the upgradation of Training the trainer’s program should be done at regular intervals, which is also important. Ensure that initially, we cover all the areas which have no established medical colleges, all the medical professionals and workers from the neighborhood areas can be brought and trained there. The training programs should be for small groups so that proper skills can be imparted, such training will go a long way. The level of training should also differ, with a higher level of training for doctors and simpler training for medical workers. This particular center In Osmania will be a role model for other centers in the days to come.
Speaking on this occasion, the Principal, of Osmania Medical College Dr. P Shashikala Reddy said, Our students will now be able to proficiently manage surgical, cardiac, and obstetric emergencies with greater efficiency and skill. Those undergoing training will be awarded a nationally recognized training Certificate from this facility, which is mandatory for every Indian Medical Graduate. With this facility, Osmania students will be one of the best in dealing with emergencies.
A five-day Training of Trainers is being hosted for the first time in Telangana; from 13th to 17th March 2023; for Medical, Surgical, Paediatric, Anaesthetic and Obstetrics specialty doctors from Govt Medical College, Nizamabad; Gandhi Medical College, Guntur Medical College, and Kakatiya Medical College.

Mumbai, 16th March 2023: LenDenClub, India’s leading Peer-to-Peer lending platform has launched a new campaign with its brand ambassador Hardik Pandya.

The choice of having the tattoos he wants, maintaining a healthy lifestyle while being the life of the party, being disciplined at all times and finally improvising in the middle of the pitch – every sequence has been designed to bring alive the fearless story.
With Hardik Pandya’s affiliation with the world of cricket, the brand intends to entice people from all genres, for instance, users who have an affinity towards investing in various financial instruments, salaried individuals, novice investors, entrepreneurs and investors. Besides, it also aims to bank big on the mass appeal of Hardik among cricket enthusiasts.
Addressing audiences where Hardik Pandya after celebrating his big win on the ground says ‘Meri choices hamesha se hi different rahi hain.’ The campaign aims to quickly connect with audiences while riding on the different attributes of the cricketer. While building a unique appeal among audiences, the campaign seeks to enhance trust in investing while displaying the ease and simplicity of investing in Peer-to-Peer lending with LenDenClub.
With a lucid montage of stills and snippets featuring the ace cricketer, rocking background music, and a straightforward statement, the brand manages to make a mark as subtle and as powerful as the cricketer’s stint in sports.
Commenting on the new campaign, Mr Bhavin Patel, Cofounder and CEO, LenDenClub, said, “As a company, we have constantly been evolving to provide the best returns to our customers that transcend from understanding the customer sentiments to creating developments that encourage investing in P2P lending. With this alliance, we aim to raise attention to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending.
The campaign thus ties back beautifully to our brand and what it stands for whilst showcasing how to avail simple and hassle-free investing through LenDenClub. Considering Cricket has always been more than just a sport in India, launching this campaign with Hardik Pandya further reiterates our resolve for mass appeal. I am sure that our 2 million investors will be able to resonate with Hardik’s brand personality as they also made a different choice when they decided to invest with LenDenClub.”
Commenting on the creative direction of the campaign, Saarthak Juneja, Creative Lead at Kandid Kanvass, the agency behind the campaign, said, “After Hardik Pandya came on board as the brand ambassador, it became imperative that each and every aspect of the creative campaign be reflective of his personality which fits with the LenDenClub brand perfectly. They both stand for effective unconventionality that works really well in this modern, to-each-his-own world.
In keeping with Hardik’s vivacious persona, the script, the treatment, the rap song treatment of the background score – all were consciously crafted to be peppy, fast-paced, fun and in-your-face bold. LenDenClub intends to be fearless just like Hardik. And it works. Just like Hardik’s non-traditional, unique choices.”
On the choice of Hardik Pandya as LenDenClub’s maiden campaign, Roneeta Ghosh, Business Lead at Kandid Kanvass, believes,” LenDenClub is a pioneer in the fintech sector, a cutting edge P2P platform – ideal for today’s new-age, modern investors. While deciding on the brand ambassador we felt we needed a dynamic and iconic personality like Hardik Pandya who is perfectly placed to be able to inspire today’s young India and be the most credible face for the brand. People both look up to him and respect him for creating his own unique path, something that aligns with LenDenClub’s intentions.”
Hardik Pandya’s resilient personality has always delivered high returns on the ground, just as LenDenClub offers the same to its investors in the new-age Peer-to-Peer lending platform. Despite his different choices, they have consistently given him an edge above the rest. The all-rounder will display LenDenClub’s core values of knowledge, trust, & authenticity.

There’s a lot of talk in town these days about sustainability. Many new brands have emerged that are catering to our needs in a ‘sustainable’ manner. But, exactly, what is sustainability?
In a broader sense, sustainability seeks to prevent the depletion of natural or physical resources so that they will be available for a longer period of time.
