Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) and Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) signed a memorandum of understanding to improve the hospital’s capabilities in stem cell and regenerative therapies.

The MoU will help NIMS clinicians to gather expertise in basic sciences that CCMB has established itself in. The MoU was signed as part of a larger project funded by the Department of Science and Technology of Govt of India.

NIMS is also developing a bone marrow facility to conduct stem-cell transplants. The MoU gives CCMB access to clinical aspects of research and would facilitate better stem cell research.

Education, Nri's / PIO's, World Opinion

Khammam :

One of the founders of the NRI foundation, Talluri Jayashankar said that it had adopted 100 government schools in seven districts to provide digitalised education. The initiative has been funded by 15,000 NRIs who belong to Khamman district and are now residing in the US.

Jayashankar was speaking at the teachers motivation programme here on Monday.Deputy CM Kadiyam Srihari said NRIs should adopt government schools and provide digitilised education to the poor.

In the meeting conducted by NRIs Foundation, he asked the teachers to take more responsibility in shaping the future of students and said that the goodwill of government schools was in their hands. He pointed out that though the government was providing funds to the schools for all facilities, government schools were not producing good results.

He asked teachers to understand the reason why a daily wage labour sends his children to private schools by taking loans and claimed that the reason for this was lack of faith in government schools.

The state government has introduced free education from KG to PG in 320 Gurukul schools across the state.

Khammam NRI Foundation representative Kishan Rao announced that they are spending 75 per cent of the funds for the development of education and 25 per cent for prevention of diseases across the district.

The deputy CM distributed LED TVs to school headmasters.MLC Balasani Laxminarayana, Khammam mayor Papalal, district education officer N Rajesh, assistant director of publicity Murthuja and others also participated in the programme.
