  • Union Minister Sonowal Inaugurates Odisha’s 1st Riverine Jetty At Paradeep – Primex News Network

    Union Minister Sonowal Inaugurates Odisha’s 1st Riverine Jetty At Paradeep – Primex News Network

    PARADEEP, April 26:  The newly-developed as well as Odisha’s first ever riverine jetty was on Monday inaugurated at the prime port city of Paradeep by Hon’ble Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways & AYUSH in presence of Hon’ble Shri Padmanabha Behera, Minister of Commerce & Transport, Planning & Convergence and Hon’ble Shri Raghunandan Das, Minister of State, I&PR, Water Resources, Government of Odisha, and Shri Sambit Routray, Hon’ble MLA, Paradeep.

    Inaugurating the riverine jetty, the Hon’ble Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways & AYUSH said that Paradeep will be one of the best destinations for maritime trade and forge better exim (export & import) relations with the neighbouring countries.

    The riverine jetty will open up a new dimension to the transport sector with the use of multi-modal transport system. This will also help boost the country’s economy in multiple ways by lowering the load on roadways and railways and by using a lower emission mode.  This will further help the industries interested in the utilization of the gypsum as a raw material, the authorities informed.

    Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO) Ltd, a leading fertilizer firm in the country, has started the riverine jetty to explore the possibility of using waterways as a feasible mode of transport.

    Pertinent to note that, the jetty was conceptualized by Orissa Stevedores Ltd (OSL), a reputed company in the fields of shipping, mining and in-plant operations, which was also given the responsibility for developing and operating the same.

    On February 25, 2021, OSL has entered into an MOU with Paradeep Port Authority and IFFCO for development and operation of the jetty.

    OSL has achieved this unique feat by redeveloping riverine operations in Odisha after almost a century. Currently, the jetty can accommodate vessels up to 2200 DWT. It plans to develop and expand the facilities to accommodate larger vessels, which can directly cater to neighbouring countries.

    “OSL believes that Odisha’s vast river network offers ample opportunities for the trade and commerce in the state which would not only help ease congestion on roads but also reduce carbon footprint, making it one of the most eco-friendly ways of transportation,” said Shri Mahimananda Mishra, Managing Director and Chairman OSL Group, on the august occasion.

    Among others, top management authorities of the Paradeep Port, IFFCO and OSL were also present on the notable occasion.

  • Acquire fabric patents and venture into value addition to make ‘Brand Surat’- Textile Commissioner Roop Rashi – Primex News Network

    Acquire fabric patents and venture into value addition to make ‘Brand Surat’- Textile Commissioner Roop Rashi – Primex News Network

    (L to R) President Elect of SGCCI, Himanshu Bodawala, Textile Commissioner, Roop Rashi, and SGCCI President, Ashish Gujarati

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 26: “Textile industrialists will have to acquire fabric patents and venture into value addition to make ‘Brand Surat,’” said Roop Rashi, the Government of India’s textile commissioner, at the launch of the ‘Textile Week,’ organised by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (SGCCI) Global Fabric Resource and Research Centre (GFRRC) here on Monday.

    Textile Commissioner, Roop Rashi inaugurated the ‘Textile Week’ in the presence of Usha Paul, deputy director-general, Ministry of Textiles, Additional Textile Commissioner, SP Verma, and chairman of the Federation of Indian Art Silk Weaving Industry (FIASWI) Bharat Gandhi at Samruddhi in Surat’s Nanpura area on Monday.

    In his presentation, SGCCI president, Ashish Gujarat said, “At present, the government has approved a single Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP). Under the Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), we demand another seven CETPs to be approved for the Surat region. We also demand a reduction in the import duty on the capital goods. There is an urgent need to resolve the issue of BIS Certification of KRM regarding the polyester yarn.”

    “Surat’s textile sector produces high-quality fabrics in a variety of qualities,” said Roop Rashi, India’s textile commissioner. Thus, I encourage textile companies to patent their products and pursue value addition to establish Surat as a brand. Efforts will be made to suit the textile industry’s requirements.”

    Rashi urged manufacturers to maintain the trend, noting that Surat’s textile sector has reached new heights thanks to the experience of industry veterans and the dedication of the younger generation.

    “Surat’s textile entrepreneurs will have to think creatively rather than defensively. The PLI and MITRA programmes have the potential to help textile entrepreneurs leapfrog Bangladesh and Vietnam. The market is going to be excellent, and everyone must proceed with vigour and zeal. Never sacrifice quality and enhance your engagement in cluster schemes,” Rashi said.

    The Textile Ministry has proposed that the Finance Ministry continue the A-TUF scheme and fund allocation until the instructions for the Textile Technology Development Scheme (TTDS) scheme are issued, according to Rashi. In addition, the ministry has recommended to the Finance Ministry a 25-30% subsidy under the new TTDS programme. The SGCCI’s request for seven further CETPs will be given to the relevant ministry, and the SGCCI has been asked to provide information on the BIS certification of KRM on polyester yarn.

    Deputy Director-General, Usha Paul said, “There is a need to concentrate on expanding the Indian market for export. Textile industrialists should enroll in the PIL and MITRA schemes to grab the market share from Bangladesh and Vietnam.”

    AP Verma, Additional Textile Commissioner, guided the textile entrepreneurs on “Innovation in Textile Manufacturing”. “Even a tiny business owner may innovate,” Verma stated. “Innovation can be accomplished with any material or machinery that is accessible. Production will need to continue with the selection of specialised fibres and fabrics. Cost-cutting can be used in place of cost-saving only when the product is recyclable.”

    Verma called on the textile entrepreneurs to move in the direction of manufacturing sportswear and medical textiles following a robust demand in the international market.

    Bharat Gandhi, chairman of FIASWI and former president of SGCCI delivered his keynote address, Girdhargopal Mundra, chairman of GFRRC gave information regarding the textile week, and former president of SGCCI, Praful Shah conducted the entire programme. Former president of SGCCI, Mahendra Kajiwala also delivered his keynote address.

    Himanshu Bodawala, President-Elect of SGCCI gave the vote of thanks.

  • Are we finally heading towards an eternal youth with reverse-ageing? – Primex News Network

    Are we finally heading towards an eternal youth with reverse-ageing? – Primex News Network

    April 26: According to new research by Cambridge University, scientists have been able to reverse the effects of biological ageing on the skin or the skin age of a 54-year-old woman to 30 years old. They’ve called it ‘time jump’—a technological process that takes 50 days to finish and can reverse signs of ageing.

    So, are we finally heading towards attaining eternal youth? The latest trend in the scientific and beauty industries is no longer about stopping ageing or anti-ageing, like with an anti-ageing cream; instead, it’s all about reverse ageing. Even in India, Bangalore-based startup Zaivic tech-wellness solutions is launching a skincare line which is focusing on reversing ageing rather than anti-ageing. They have named their brand of reverse-ageing solutions Amé Organic – a brand of natural skincare products.

    According to founder Nandita Sharma, this line of skincare will revolutionise the anti-ageing skincare industry. She explains: “All Amé products are organic, 100% natural, and free from synthetic and chemical additives. Their formulations are a combination of natural oils, essential oils, and waxes, which have been time-tested beauty secrets carried forward through multiple ancient civilisations.”

    These unique combinations have the power, much more than just an anti-ageing cream, to reactivate the cell regeneration process by working with the sensory inputs and calming the ‘stress/emotions and feeling’ related hormones leading to a natural glowing skin.

    Ame Organic has recently launched two products: An age-defying day serum, and a cell renewal serum. When used together, they balance the skin’s oil and moisture ratio and rebuild the skin’s acid-mantle (the skin’s outermost protective layer) bringing it back to the younger biological age and enhancing the skin regeneration. The brand claims that Amé’s serum doesn’t just work on your body and helps to have a calm mind, but it also helps to change the energy and vibrations of your body. This is a first-of-its-kind product where the manufacturing process involves energy charging.

    All these new technologies are giving us hope that maybe eternal youth is possible and that the elixir of life can be created by striking the perfect balance between neurobiology and neurochemistry. This can help us put our skin metabolism in reverse gear and have a natural glowing skin for years. More and more scientists have now attested that we can reverse our body’s biological age and heal multiple lifestyle disorders simply by rearranging our lifestyle. For example, by changing the way we eat, getting more sound and deeper sleep, and having a positive outlook on life, we can arrest the process of ageing and prevent diseases and conditions.

    These findings give us hope that good times are up ahead, and we are heading towards a period where humans will live much longer. Ageing, or biological ageing will be more about experience and awareness rather than physical weakness, diseases, and a breakdown of the skin and body.

    The word Amé’ means blemish-free (without any impurity) in Sanskrit, ‘Love’ in Spanish, ‘Soul’ in French, ‘Rain’ in Japanese, and ‘Mother’ in Arabic.

    Finds Savlon Swasth India Mission’s ‘Hygiene study’ – Primex News Network

    Savlon Swasth India Mission publishes its first attitudinal study on hygiene habits in India

    New Delhi (India), April 26: Set against the context of the pandemic, much has been theorized and communicated on Hygiene practices and its adoption. While the pandemic has accelerated adoption of hygiene practices, some are still reluctant and lack a clear understanding of hygiene. To study the actual shift in behaviour and practice, Savlon Swasth India Mission, as part of its philosophy to build a healthier and stronger India, commissioned a nationwide attitudinal and behavioral study on current Hygiene trends. The study assesses usage, perception and behavior towards hygiene related practices in 2022 focused on the primary premises of hand hygiene, surface disinfection and mask etiquettes. The quantitative survey reveals some interesting trends and facts on adopting preventive hygiene as a lifestyle.

    65% of the audiences surveyed wear a mask and continued to follow any one of the personal or home hygiene practices** despite the ebbing of the pandemic wave. 1 in 2 still disinfect their packages from outside and frequently touched surfaces. 9 of 10 people use hand sanitisers daily. However, despite such a large proportion following the practices, people are still confused about hand hygiene practices. Around 1 in 2 survey respondents still believe if indoors, washing hands with water is enough.  Similarly, half of those surveyed believe that the duration of washing hands does not matter as long as soap/handwash is used.

    The study also brings to light an intriguing dichotomy on disinfecting surfaces. While 87% believe that cleaning isn’t enough and 64% believe that every surface needs disinfection; close to 70% say that surfaces that look clean and dirt free gives them the confidence of safety and hygiene, thereby discounting in entirety, the invisible germ load on frequently touched surfaces. This is despite most of them understanding that cleaning isn’t suffice and disinfection is required.

    It is interesting to note that 1 in 2 respondents understand that all types of masks don’t offer the same amount of protection. As per a study done by ACGIH, if we all wear N95 masks (or its comparable BIS certified FFP2 S mask) correctly, we can stay protected from virus for up to 25 hours, even in the presence of an infected person. However, this number drops to a mere 27 minutes if both wear cloth masks.  Despite this fact, 51% chose comfort and breathability but not a stamp of authenticity while the latter can assure a user of the mask’s quality and efficiency. Further, 1 in 5 people still believe that a mask is not required if you are fully vaccinated or have recovered from COVID 19.

    Southern India has emerged to be more conscious of preventive hygiene with better understanding of need for hygiene scenarios like use of masks. The study reveals that respondents of Southern India understand the importance of wearing N95/FFP2 S better than the rest of India. It leads the number of people wearing N95/FFP2 S with 57% compared to 36% in North/Central region, 34% in West and 39% in East. Close to 70% of N95/FFP2 S mask wearers of Southern India feel that N95/FFP2 S offer more protection than other masks.

    The study further elucidates that parents are the critical change champions who drive education and the importance of hand hygiene in children. Around 8 out of 10 parents have taught their children how to wash their hands and a similar number agrees to reminding their child to wash hands.  More than 8 out of 10 parents ensure that their child carries sanitizers to keep their hands clean.

    Speaking on the findings, Mr. Sameer Satpathy, Divisional Chief Executive, Personal Care Products Business, ITC Limited, said, “The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of hygiene practices that have been imperative to mitigate easily preventable vulnerabilities. With Savlon Swasth India Mission, our endeavour has been to educate, engage and empower access to affordable, convenient and effective hygiene practices. The trend study by Savlon Swasth India Mission showcases the attitudinal progress in the understanding and practice of preventive hygiene in everyday life including some of the challenges triggered by the lack of knowledge. The study gives us a roadmap to better the consumer understanding between health and hygiene practices, and therefore help to build a healthier society & nation.“
