BHU holds self-care workshop for students; focus on well-being & academic success
BHU
) organised a workshop on "Self-Care for Academic Success: Strategies for Nurturing Well-being at University" to mark International Self-Care Day 2025.
The workshop aimed to equip students with strategies to maintain their well-being and enhance academic performance.
The session focused on key objectives such as understanding the role of self-care in academic success, identifying personal stressors, and adopting effective coping mechanisms. It also included practical self-care techniques like mindfulness, time management, and stress reduction, while promoting a culture of well-being within the university community.
Prof Manushi Srivastava from the Department of Community Medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, served as the resource person. She stressed the importance of self-care in leading a balanced academic life and conducted interactive activities to help students integrate wellness habits into their daily routines.
Nityanand Tiwari, the student counsellor of the Well-being Services Cell, coordinated the event. He explained various aspects of self-care, including relevant actions and interventions, and highlighted how habits, practices, and lifestyle choices influence physical and mental health.
More than 150 students from different faculties participated in the workshop.

Cascades Neopolis gets Well Platinum pre-certification
As a major boost for India's real estate aspirations to focus on residents' wellness and a matter of pride for the vibrant city of Hyderabad, The Cascades Neopolis has been awarded the WELL v2 Pre-Certification Platinum by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). This distinction makes The Cascades Neopolis both India's first and the world's largest residential development to receive this globally acclaimed recognition. While WELL is the world's first building standard to focus entirely on how our surroundings impact physical and mental health, IWBI is the global authority that develops and administers the WELL Building Standard to advance health and wellness-centric design. For the uninitiated, The Cascades Neopolis is a Rs3169-crore 63-storey 217m tall mega residential project of GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP, a visionary joint consortium by the promoters of GHR Infra, Lakshmi Infra, and Urbanblocks Realty, which are legacy realty companies that are primarily operating in Hyderabad. As part of the WELL evaluation, The Cascades Neopolis was assessed across ten inter-related concepts that directly shape occupants' well-being: air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. The residents will experience enhanced indoor air quality through advanced filtration and ventilation systems, maximised natural light and daylight penetration, and materials carefully selected to minimise emissions and support respiratory health. Temperature and acoustic controls have been integrated to reduce stress and fatigue, and the overall layout encourages movement, mindfulness, and interactions with fellow residents.

2-day free urology camp at IMS-BHU from today
Varanasi: A free urology consultation and surgery charitable camp, to be organised by Urological Society of India (USI), under its public welfare initiative USI CARES (Community Action, Relief, Education & Service), will begin at Urology department of IMS- BHU on Aug 1. During the camp, patients will receive free consultations from some of the country's leading urologists, along with diagnostic investigations and surgical interventions, including both minor and major procedures as deemed necessary. These services will be provided entirely free of cost. According to a BHU spokesperson, a team of more than 15 to 20 urologists and healthcare professionals from across India volunteered to participate in this noble cause. Among the distinguished participants are Prof TP Rajeev from Guwahati, who currently serves as the president of the Urological Society of India and Dr SP Yadav from Gurugram, an executive council member of the society. In addition to clinical care, the camp will also focus on public health education. Interactive awareness sessions will be conducted to inform participants about various urological conditions, including kidney stones, prostate enlargement, urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, and cancers of the urinary and genital systems. These sessions aim to empower individuals with knowledge about prevention, early detection, and the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing their health. TNN

IIT-BHU researchers develop portable sensor for enrofloxacin detection in food; aim to curb antibiotic contamination
VARANASI: In a breakthrough for food and environmental safety, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology ( BHU ), Varanasi, developed a state-of-the-art dual-mode electrochemical sensing platform for the rapid extraction and detection of Enrofloxacin—an antibiotic widely used in the livestock industry. This innovative sensor integrates magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) with electrochemical detection techniques, offering a cost-effective, portable, and highly sensitive solution for real-time monitoring of antibiotic residues in food. The research team, led by Pranjal Chandra, includes Supratim Mahapatra, Ankur Singh, and Ratul Paul. Their work was recently published in the prestigious journal Small, and a patent was also filed for the technology. Enrofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is commonly used in veterinary medicine across India. However, its overuse raised serious public health concerns. The World Health Organization (WHO) identified antibiotic resistance, especially to drugs like Enrofloxacin, as a major threat to global health. Residual traces of the antibiotic in food products such as milk and meat can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), making bacterial infections harder to treat in humans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Support Your Income SpellRock Undo Despite international regulations such as the European Union's maximum residue limits (MRLs) for Enrofloxacin in food, current detection methods remain complex, expensive, and impractical for field use. The IIT(BHU) innovation directly addresses these gaps. The newly developed sensor offers dual-mode detection capability (magnetic extraction + electrochemical quantification), a wide detection range from 100 picomolar (pM) to 10 millimolar (mM), an ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 161 femtomolar (fM), minimal sample preparation, real-time analysis, and high portability for field deployment in rural and resource-constrained areas. "This technology not only enhances the precision of food safety monitoring but also aligns with national missions such as Make in India and Start-up India," said Prof. Amit Patra, Director, IIT(BHU). "Dr. Chandra and his team took a significant step toward solving real-world challenges related to antimicrobial resistance and food contamination. Their innovation reflects the power of indigenous research and technological excellence." The device is expected to have broader applications in pharmaceutical screening, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, contributing significantly to global efforts to ensure food safety and public health.
