House construction made easier: Find all building materials in one place at Wholesale prices
Vijayawada, 19 February 2024: Everyone desires to turn the dream of owning a home into reality. However, the escalating prices in the construction sector have become a burden for ordinary and middle-class individuals. Particularly, with the surge in the prices of sand, gravel, bricks, and cement, the dream of owning a house remains elusive for many. To build a house, one needs to procure all these materials, often having to source them from different places. Furthermore, individuals are inundated with the costs and demands of intermediaries, agents, and commissions. For the common and middle-class populace, acquiring all these materials at one place and, more importantly, at wholesale prices, is not a simple task. Many intermediaries and masons take their cut, leaving customers with the original price rather than the wholesale rate. To address this issue, a new emerging company called V Wholesale (Your One-Stop Shop) is launching soon in Vijayawada.
From tiles to paints all in one place!
Home construction materials such as Tiles, Granite, Italian products, Electricals, Electronics, Lights, Fans, Hardware tools, Wooden materials, Paints, Sanitary items, Plumbing supplies, Modular kitchen components, Home decor, Home furnishings, Sofas, Faucets, Sinks, and Gardening pots are all available at “V Wholesale,” your one-stop shop. Mr. N. Hemanth Kumar, the marketing manager of “V Wholesale,” stated that these products will be offered at the lowest wholesale prices in the store. Currently, there are very few stores in the country with such a comprehensive one-stop format for all home-building supplies, mainly located in cities like Mumbai and Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai. However, with the initiative of Mr. Himansu R Mehta, CEO of “V Wholesale,” this store will soon be opening in Vijayawada.
Home delivery with Wholesale prices
Home builders will find all their home building supplies in one place at wholesale prices at the “V Wholesale” store. Additionally, there is the convenience of home delivery for construction materials to various areas, alleviating transportation concerns for construction workers. City residents have eagerly awaited such facilities for many years. The “V Wholesale” store will soon address the concerns of home builders, much to the relief of the construction industry. Analysts in the construction industry are praising “V Wholesale” as good news for common and middle-class people, builders, contractors, and architects.

Pediatric Neurologist , Dr. Vykunta Raju K. N., Receives Prestigious Award for Outstanding Contribution to Child Neurology
Bengaluru, February 19, 2024: In a momentous occasion, Dr. Vykunta Raju K. N., Professor and Head of the Department at Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health, has been honored with the Outstanding Contribution Award for Child Neurology by the Association of Child Neurology, India (AOCN). Dr. Raju, with over 15 years of dedicated service in pediatric neurology, has played a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of rare and neurological disorders.
The accolade comes as recognition for Dr. Vykunta Raju’s tireless efforts in advancing the understanding and treatment of rare diseases, particularly in pediatric neurology. Despite the challenges faced in the field, he remains committed to improving the lives of children and families affected by these disorders. Dr. Raju has published over 200 publications focusing on original reviews and case reports on rare disorders to enhance awareness, understanding prevalence, and studying epidemiological factors in the Indian population.
While expressing his happiness for the award recognition, Dr Raju, said, “I am feeling happy to receive this award. I have been working in pediatric neurology for the past 15 years, and we have done a lot of work. Though the recognition has come a little late, I still feel very happy on getting recognized for the work I have contributed. In pediatric neurology, you will be managing a lot of rare disorders, most of the time. In earlier days, these rare diseases were neglected and treated as cerebral palsy. But now, with improvement in genetics, we are able to diagnose these disorders. Arriving at the right diagnosis was a huge challenge in the earlier days. Compared to that, diagnosis is easier, but getting proper treatment is still an issue. Treatment is not available for many disorders; and even if it is available, the cost of the medicines is very high. So, most of our patients are unable to afford these treatments.”
Speaking on Rare Disease Awareness Month (February), Dr. Raju highlighted the importance of accurate diagnosis and the need for FDA-approved treatments, addressing the difficulties faced by patients, particularly in accessing expensive medications for some disorders like Spinal Muscular Atrophy. In most of the countries, these medications are made available mostly by Government funding. So, if it’s made available in India also, it will benefit both the children and their families.

Harsh and Aakrit shed light on the flourishing tech eco system in Mumbai which is often overlooked amongst the hustle and bustle of maximum city. They underscored the remarkable fact that Mumbai is now home to over 50 unicorns and startups, a number they predict will only continue to grow, showcasing Mumbai’s growing influence in the tech landscape. The day was adorned by a distinguished gathering of tech luminaries, leading entrepreneurs, business stalwarts, innovators, and policymakers testifying their commitment to elevate the thriving tech ecosystem in Mumbai.
The event commenced with a powerful opening address by Amitabh Kant, G20 Sherpa, Government of India, and Renuka Ramnath, Managing Director & CEO of Multiples.

He highlighted the challenge innovators face with existing regulatory frameworks and the necessity for a balanced approach to foster innovation while ensuring consumer protection. He stated, “We have several regulators in India such as RBI, SEBI, and IRDA. However, due to continuous disruption, innovators often outpace regulators. Regulatory challenges can be addressed through a dual approach. The first, akin to the U.S., allows innovators to establish self-regulation. The second, as seen in the EU, tends to over-regulate. This led to a significant drop in GDP from 30% to 15%. This approach stifles technologies like AI overnight, hindering free innovation. In India, while regulations for these innovative technologies are pending, our unique approach involves collaboratively creating regulations with innovators and stakeholders. This approach aligns well with the vision of our honourable Prime Minister to accelerate development through technology.”

Amblyopia – if Untreated, It Can Affect a Child’s Vision Permanently
Amblyopia is the most common vision issue that affects kids. Amblyopia (lazy eye) causes blurry vision in one eye when something affects how a child’s eyes are developing. As their brain ignores the weaker eye, that eye drifts out of position. It’s rare, but amblyopia can affect both eyes at the same time. It affects around 5% of children younger than 15 years. Eye care specialist will treat amblyopia by making child’s brain use their weaker eye to see.
