Mumbai: BMC to keep digital record of students’ health

Each student in BMC’s Mumbai Public School (MPS) will now have a health card from the coming academic year. A software is being developed that will ensure all health-related data of each student is available at one click.
The new academic year will commence in June and the BMC will keep a record of students’ health along with academics.
Reports of all periodical health check-ups, specific health or medical condition of a child, treatments done in the past as well as ongoing medicines will be collated by the BMC education department.
All this information will be available digitally and periodical medical expert tips will also be given to students who need such intervention from time to time.Best of Express PremiumUPSC Key – May 26, 2022: Why and What to know about Hawala Transaction to...PremiumBJP big guns to lend Himachal CM Jai Ram Thakur a hand as corruption, fac...PremiumExplained: The message behind Margaret Atwood’s ‘unburnable&#...PremiumWelcome to the elusive world of crypto mining: Rohtak rig, 3 engineers, R...Premium

According to the education department, it will hold regular health check-ups in schools and records of each check-up will be uploaded on the software. “If any child is seen developing any health issue through these records, proactive action can be taken. In civic body-run hospitals, treatments will be done for free if required,” said an official from the department.
The initiative will be supported by NGOs, officials said.

Mumbai: Set to launch yoga centres, BMC reaches out to resident groups

Mumbai: Set to launch yoga centres, BMC reaches out to resident groups

To set up Shiv Yoga Kendras across the 24 administrative wards in Mumbai, the BMC has started reaching out to resident groups and office-bearers of various housing societies.
It has also called for expression of interest from yoga centres, which are registered for two years with the Yoga Certification Board or the Indian Yoga Institute as per the guidelines and recommendations of AYUSH.
The yoga teachers or instructor to be recruited for the initiative should have three years of experience and be trained in Common Yoga Protocol as per Union government norms.
The BMC plans to start the yoga centres, which would provide free of cost training to people, on June 1.
The civic body had announced in its current budget that it will start 200 yoga centres in the city. The fund will facilitate the logistical arrangements to be made for starting yoga training and recruiting trained teachers or wellness instructors.
