Prevention, not just medication, key to tackling obesity and diabetes: Jitendra Singh
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Sunday stressed that prevention should be the main focus in tackling obesity and diabetes, rather than depending only on medication. He said that lifestyle changes, awareness, and scientifically backed information are crucial to address the growing health challenge of metabolic disorders in India. Dr. Singh, who is also a renowned diabetologist and professor of medicine, was speaking at the launch of the book 'The Weight Loss Revolution – Weight Loss Drugs and How to Use Them' authored by endocrinologist Dr. Ambrish Mithal along with journalist Shivam Vij. The Minister noted that India, once known as the diabetes capital of the world, is now also emerging as the obesity capital, ranking third globally in childhood obesity. He warned against the unchecked spread of disinformation through unscientific diet charts and fad regimens, saying diet plans must always be based on scientifically validated principles. Dr. Singh emphasised the importance of 'Indian solutions for Indian patients' and pointed out that central obesity -- fat around the abdomen -- poses a more serious risk for Indians compared to Western populations. Sometimes, he said, 'a simple inch tape around the waist may be more meaningful than a BMI chart.' Highlighting the role of lifestyle interventions, Dr. Singh said studies in India show that regular yoga practice can reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes by up to 40 per cent. He called for a holistic approach that combines lifestyle modification, modern medicine, and traditional practices. On the use of new weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, Dr. Singh advised caution, saying clinical outcomes take years to establish. He compared it with the refined oil episode in India, where hasty conclusions later proved misleading. Dr. Singh also reminded that with over 70 per cent of India's population below 40 years of age, the country cannot afford to let lifestyle diseases affect its youth. Prevention-driven strategies, he said, are vital to protect the potential of the younger generation. Quoting Mark Twain, he remarked, 'Economics is too serious a subject to be left to an economist,' and added that obesity and diabetes are too serious to be left only to doctors. Unless there is mass awareness, he said, optimum results in tackling these diseases will not be possible. The Minister praised Dr. Mithal's book as timely and authoritative, saying it will help both medical professionals and the public separate facts from misinformation in an era dominated by social media and quick fixes.

IIT-Hyderabad team comes up with tech for driverless vehicles, tests underway for scale up
Agencies Aiming to develop India-specific smart mobility solutions, a team from IIT Hyderabad has come up with a technology for driverless vehicles to navigate through the institute's campus. The AI based concept has been created by the Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation, or TiHAN at IIT Hyderabad. "We are exploring autonomous navigation technology, specific to Indian scenario in both aerial and ground vehicles. In ground vehicles, we are looking at how the vehicle can be driven in the Indian scenario and how to drive keeping in view the limitations and challenges (related to) infrastructure," Santhosh Reddy, Hub Executive Officer, told PTI on Sunday. An autonomous (driverless) vehicle, developed by the team, has been running in the institute's campus since the last one and a half years on a normal road where the students and others travel and there have been no accidents till date, he said more than 10,000 passengers have already travelled in the vehicle and that the feedback from them has been vehicle is not used on public roads at technology is viewed as suitable for deployment in locations such as airports, warehouses and large educational or industrial campuses. The 'autonomous navigation stack' can operate in any climatic conditions and any vehicle, from electric to even IC (Internal Combustion) engine vehicle. It can be converted into autonomous vehicle, Reddy told PTI Videos. At present, a driver travels in the vehicle as a precautionary measure but he would not interfere with the vehicle's monitors the vehicle and reports any issues in its functioning to the team, Reddy team, when it started working on the project, just wanted to go step by step without aiming for operating the vehicle either in a controlled environment (like in the campus of an educational institute) or for commercial first challenge was to set up the vehicle which can drive by itself. Later on, the team kept on adding features and safety enhancements, aiming to improve the vehicle's efficiency, he about the current status of the technology or the 'stack', he said efforts were on to improve the safety features and to eliminate the precautionary deployment of the technology developed by them can be fine-tuned according to the vehicle size and other parameters, he autonomous vehicle was demonstrated at some other locations as well, Reddy plans to scale up the project, he said the plan is to enhance the features and meet the industry requirements. Asked if there are plans to introduce the technology for commercial launch of autonomous vehicles in the future, he said the team would like to take it up with support of any industry partners.
