State unit chief kick-starts ‘padayatra’, ‘jan jagran’ in all constituencies to oust BJP
Buoyed over its performance in the recently concluded Assembly and Parliamentary bypolls, the Congress party in Himachal Pradesh has set the ball rolling by up-swinging the tempo of its electioneering for the Assembly elections due next year
The party, led by State unit president Kuldeep Singh Rathore, has kick-started a State-wide ‘padayatra’ and ‘jan jagran’ programme to consolidate its support base across all 68 Assembly constituencies.
In an attempt to strengthen the party, especially in the constituencies where it is relatively weak, Mr. Rathore has started ‘padayatra’ to understand the pain-points of the party and prepare strategy.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
