Vijayawada: NTR district collector Dr G Lakshmisha said the state government has conducted the Mega Parents-Teachers meet to bring together parents, teachers and the students for the comprehensive development of the children. He said the government is providing facilities in the government schools on par with the private schools and students should take full advantage of these resources to achieve great heights in life.
He was the chief guest at the Mega Parents and Teachers Meet 2.0 held at Zilla Parishad Girls High School in Kondapalli of Ibrahimpatnam mandal, along with local public representatives and officials on Thursday. He explained that with the aim of providing a bright future for children, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Education Minister Nara Lokesh have launched several innovative initiatives. Collector stated that approximately 3 lakh students and their parents participated enthusiastically across 1,453 schools in the district the Mega PTM 2.0. He said for the first time, PTMs are being conducted in private institutions also. He said these meetings allow for mutual exchange of information regarding academic standards, students' behaviour at home, and their interests.
Dr Lakshmisha urged the students to make the best use of government-provided resources such as quality education, infrastructure, uniforms, textbooks, and nutritious mid-day meals and suggested to set goals like to become doctors, engineers, scientists, IAS or IPS officers and work with sincerity to achieve them. Schools, he said, are like temples where the foundation for children's dreams and aspirations is laid. The collector also noted that progress reports once seen only in private schools are now available in government schools in the form of Holistic Progress Cards due to reforms introduced in education.
Collector Lakshmisha stressed the importance of cyber awareness from a young age to prevent falling victim to cybercrimes and frauds by criminals.

Posters with the message 'Say No to Drugs, Bro' were released during the meeting. The principal presented the school's progress report, and the children gave impressive cultural performances.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Medical superintendent Dr Ajay Shankar Tripathi said that the machine uses FibroScan technology to detect lumps with unusual growth, thereby enabling the suspicion of cancerous tumours. The hospital already has PAP smear facilities for cervical cancer screening. With the addition of this machine, breast cancer screening services will now also be available. He further stated that a delay in detecting breast cancer often makes treatment more difficult and, in some cases, life-threatening. With the help of this machine, early diagnosis and timely treatment can be ensured.

Surrogacy racket: Min Satyakumar Yadav orders review of fertility centres across Andhra Pradesh

VIJAYAWADA: Health Minister Satyakumar Yadav has ordered a thorough review of fertility centres across Andhra Pradesh following reports of irregularities at a facility in Hyderabad. Concerned by discrepancies, the minister instructed officials to examine the functioning of all fertility clinics and submit a detailed report on licensing, inspections, operations, and regulatory compliance. According to official sources, there is a mismatch between the number of fertility centres licensed by District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs) and those listed online, suggesting the presence of unauthorised facilities. Minister Yadav reminded that DMHOs are responsible for issuing licences and overseeing daily operations of hospitals and fertility centres. He warned of strict action against clinics operating without valid licences or violating health protocols. The minister called for a district-wise report detailing licensed and unlicensed centres, inspections conducted in 2024–25, violations found, complaints received, actions taken, and centres denied permission. Urgency intensified after a surprise inspection at Universal Health Care Centre in Vijayawada by NTR District DMHO Dr Suhasini. The centre, sanctioned under the name Namrata, was closed, and its doctor was recently arrested for alleged violations. A preliminary report was submitted to the minister's office.

Stress on medical check-ups to avoid maternal deaths

Eluru: District collector K Vetriselvi said that regular medical check-ups should be conducted on the health condition of pregnant women, and health personnel should work to prevent maternal and infant deaths by informing mothers about the importance of nutrition, hospital deliveries, newborn care, and complementary feeding. She unveiled the World Population Day 2025 poster under the auspices of the District Medical and Health Department at the Collectorate here on Monday. Speaking on the occasion, she said the right age to become a mother is 21 years for women. A healthy time and space between pregnancies is very important for planned motherhood. She urged couples expected to become parents to think that if a healthy gap is followed between pregnancies, there is a chance of giving birth to healthy children. District Joint Collector P Dhatri Reddy, District Medical Health Officer Dr PJ Amrutha, DCHS Dr Paul Satish, NTR Medical Service Coordinator Dr Rajiv, SO N Anand Kumar, ASO M Kishore, and others participated in the programme.
