VIMSAR, OUHS warned by UGC for flouting anti-ragging norms
BHUBANESWAR: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has warned two state government-run institutions of regulatory action for failing to submit the mandatory anti-ragging compliance reports and undertakings from students not to indulge in ragging, for the year 2024. The two institutions are Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (VIMSAR) at Burla and Odisha University of Health Sciences (OUHS) in Bhubaneswar. The UGC on Thursday asked 89 universities and institutions across the country including the two in Odisha to submit the anti-ragging compliance and get online undertakings from all students directly under them or in their affiliated institutions, within 30 days. Under the National Ragging Prevention Programme of the Ministry of Education, it is mandatory for all colleges, standalone higher education institutions and universities - both public and private - to submit anti-ragging undertaking by students through UGC's anti-ragging website and file undertakings of compliance with UGC's anti-ragging regulations, 2009. In a letter to the institutions, UGC secretary Manish R Joshi pointed out that despite multiple advisories, follow-up calls from the anti-ragging helpline and direct interventions by its anti-ragging monitoring agency, the institutions have failed to submit the documents which is a violation of the regulations. He directed the defaulters to ensure that all enrolled students complete their online anti-ragging affidavits and submit their compliance reports within 30 days, along with a comprehensive account of the preventive measures taken to stop ragging on campuses. Failure to comply would lead to listing of the institutions as non-compliant on the UGC website and consideration for de-recognition or withdrawal of affiliation, Joshi warned.

VIMSAR introduces ACL reconstruction surgery
SAMBALPUR: The Orthopaedics department of Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (VIMSAR) in Burla has introduced ligament reconstruction surgery, providing much-needed relief to patients in western Odisha, who previously had to travel to Cuttack or Bhubaneswar for similar procedures. The advanced medical procedure primarily focuses on reconstructing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), which connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia) inside the knee. ACL injuries are common among athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities, often requiring surgical intervention for full recovery. Private hospitals typically charge around Rs 2 to Rs 3 lakh for such procedures, but VIMSAR has set a remarkable precedent by offering the surgery free of cost. Head of Orthopaedics department Dr Brajamohan Sahu said these procedures have become possible due to the arthroscopy machine, which was procured a few months back with the CSR funds provided by Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL). 'Initially, we conducted minor surgeries using the equipment. But now, we have started performing complex surgeries. On Wednesday, we successfully completed ACL reconstruction on a 35-year-old patient from Sambalpur. So far, around 30 ligament reconstruction procedures have been conducted using this modern equipment,' he said. The latest surgery was conducted on a patient from Sambalpur under the supervision of Dr Sahu and Professor PK Merli. The surgical team also comprised Dr Prabhakar Tripathy, Dr Debiprasad Nanda, Dr Bikash Dubey, Dr Shivanand Budhia, Dr Sohan Samal and Dr Preetam Jena.
