A video analysing the measures taken by EC to conduct Assembly Elections when COVID-19 cases are surging
The Election Commission has geared up to conduct Assembly elections in five States — Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Manipur and Goa. But just like last year, this set of elections too will be conducted while COVID-19 cases are soaring across the country.
What measures has the EC taken? And how effective will they be?

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.
