Health Minister Harish Rao has emphasised the need to expedite the promotion process for 190 assistant professors to associate professor positions in teaching hospitals.
During a review meeting held on July 12, Mr. Rao stressed on the importance of completing the process within one week and ensuring immediate postings once counselling was conducted.
The Minister highlighted the need to fast-track the promotion process for 112 deputy civil surgeons and civil surgeons in Telangana Vaidya Vidhan Parishad. He said that the promotion orders should be finalised within 15 days. He also called for the prompt completion of the promotion process for 371 nurses in Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad. He emphasised the need to finalise the localisation process within the next 10 days and complete the promotions within a month.
To facilitate necessary transfers of professors, Mr. Rao instructed Director of Medical Education Ramesh Reddy to promptly submit proposals to the government. Moreover, the age limit for promotion from Professor to Additional DME would be raised, as decided during the meeting. He also directed the immediate initiation and swift completion of the promotion process for Additional DME.
Recognising the urgency of timely diagnosis and treatment, the Minister issued a directive to purchase 32 single-donor platelet machines for dengue test diagnosis. An amount of ₹10 crore had been allocated for their procurement, and these machines would be installed in all district hospitals. This would greatly enhance the efficiency of diagnosing and treating dengue cases.
With the onset of the rainy season, medical officials were directed to be vigilant regarding seasonal diseases. Mr. Rao emphasised the importance of making arrangements for immediate testing and treatment.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
