30% of small scale workers diagnosed with NCDs in MTM screening drive

Trichy: More than 1,500 small-scale industry workers have been screened for health issues under the 'Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam' (MTM) scheme, with a majority of those screened diagnosed with hypertension. The state govt extended the scheme to small-scale industry workers, since June. The workplace screening initiative follows the govt's announcement in the assembly recently that its flagship MTM scheme—which won the UN Interagency Task Force (UNIATF) Award for 2024—would be expanded to include workers in small-scale establishments, focusing on the detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). According to official data from the district health department, 876 establishments in Trichy district with fewer than 1,000 workers were identified for the drive by the directorate of industrial safety and health (DISH). Of these, 76 establishments have been covered so far, screening 1,672 workers. The drive aims to screen 26,760 workers across all 14 blocks in the district. In line with the MTM approach, workers are screened for NCDs such as diabetes and hypertension. Preliminary findings show that nearly 70% of those screened were normal, while the remaining 30% were diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, or both. Specifically, 123 workers were diagnosed with hypertension, 73 with diabetes, and 20 with both. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Fully Loaded 4 BHK apts for 4.49 Cr(All Incl)* in Sec 104 ATS Triumph, Gurgaon Book Now Undo T richy has a considerable number of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in the engineering and textile sectors. "Some workers are already aware of their condition and declare it during screening, but many are unaware and are diagnosed only after the tests," an official said. "Once diagnosed, they are referred to the nearest govt health facility in their area or block," the official added. Another official involved in the initiative said, "Workers in unorganised sectors are especially vulnerable to conditions like hypertension due to irregular work hours, job insecurity, lack of health awareness, and high levels of stress." Officials also said there are certain cases where the beneficiaries are also hesitant. "But then we convince them. All the beneficiaries are also closely monitored," the official added. Officials said the screening is conducted twice a week using existing mobile medical units, each staffed with one medical officer, a staff nurse, a health inspector, and a volunteer. There are about 390 women volunteers, who support the district health initiatives, also take part in this drive when and if needed.

Over ₹48,000 cr investment, 38,500 jobs generated under solar PLI scheme till June 2025: Govt

New Delhi: An investment of approximately ₹48,120 crore and employment generation for around 38,500 persons has been reported under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules as on June 30, 2025, according to data shared by the successful bidders. In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy and Power, Shripad Yesso Naik, said the PLI Scheme is designed to promote manufacturing of high-efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in the country and reduce dependence on imports in the solar energy sector. The scheme has led to the issuance of Letters of Award for setting up 48,337 MW of fully or partially integrated solar PV module manufacturing capacity. The incentive amount under the scheme is linked to the local content in solar PV modules manufactured by selected entities. This linkage is aimed at developing a robust solar PV manufacturing ecosystem in the country and supporting production of high-efficiency modules. The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had in September 2022 approved the implementation of Tranche-II of the National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules . The programme includes a financial outlay of ₹19,500 crore to establish gigawatt-scale manufacturing capacity of solar PV modules. As per the ministry, the outcomes expected from the scheme include the creation of approximately 65,000 MW of annual manufacturing capacity, direct investments of about ₹94,000 crore, and direct employment to 1.95 lakh persons along with indirect employment to 7.8 lakh persons. The scheme is also expected to support development of components such as EVA, solar glass, and backsheet, and enable import substitution worth ₹1.37 lakh crore. Manufacturers will be selected through a transparent process, and PLI benefits will be disbursed for a period of five years post commissioning of manufacturing plants.
