World Hearing Day: ईयरफोन-हेडफोन लगाया तो बहरे हो जाएंगे, स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय ने चेताया
अगर आप घंटों-घंटों तक कान में ईयरफोन और हेडफोन लगाए रहते हैं तो सावधान हो जाइए क्योंकि इससे सुनने की क्षमता कम हो जाएगी और आप बहुत जल्द बहरे भी हो सकते हैं। केंद्रीय स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय ने इसको लेकर चेतावनी दी है। स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय सभी राज्यों को इसको लेकर लेटर जारी किया है। खासकर स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय की ये चेतावनी युवाओं को लेकर है क्योंकि सबसे ज्यादा इसका इस्तेमाल यही लोग करते हैं। हेल्थ मिनिस्ट्री ने राज्यों और मेडिकल कॉलेजों से इसके लंबे समय तक उपयोग के खिलाफ जागरूकता फैलाने के लिए कहा है। आज World Hearing Day 2025 History है यानी विश्व श्रवण दिवस, इसको मनाने का मकसद लोगों के बीच सुनने की क्षमता को बनाए रखने को लेकर जागरूकता फैलाना है। ऐसे में स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय की ये एडवाइजरी बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हो जाती है।

आज है वर्ल्ड हियरिंग डे – World Hearing Day

डायरेक्टर जनरल ऑफ हेल्थ सर्विस प्रोफेसर डॉ अतुल गोयल ने बच्चों के लिए स्क्रीन समय सीमित करने के महत्व पर भी जोर दिया है। उन्होंने कहा कि लगातार मोबाइल देखने से मस्तिष्क के संज्ञानात्मक विकास में देरी हो सकती है, जिससे सोशल इंटरेक्शन और कम्युनिकेशन प्रभावित हो सकता है।  प्रोफेसर गोयल ने कहा कि लोग 50 डेसिबल से अधिक ध्वनि वाले ऑडियो उपकरणों का इस्तेमाल न करें बल्कि प्रतिदिन दो घंटे से अधिक ध्वनि वाले ऑडियो उपकरणों का उपयोग करें और सुनने के सत्र के दौरान ब्रेक लें। Caution against earphone & headphone use

ईयरफोन-हेडफोन लगाने को लेकर DGHS ने जारी किया लेटर

उन्होंने कहा कि संभव हो अच्छी तरह से फिट या शोर-रद्द करने वाले हेडफोन का इस्तेमाल करें ताकि ऑडियो को कम मात्रा में चलाया जा सके। डॉक्टर गोयल ने सोशल मीडिया के इस्तेमाल को भी कम करने को कहा है। साथ ही बच्चों को ऑनलाइन गेमिंग के संपर्क में नहीं आने देने को कहा है।  सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रमों का जिक्र करते हुए डॉ गोयल ने कहा कि राज्य यह सुनिश्चित करें कि स्थानों पर अधिकतम औसत ध्वनि स्तर 100 डेसिबल से अधिक न हो। DGHS ने 20 फरवरी को यह लेटर जारी किया था। Hearing Loss

DGHS के लेटर में क्या कहा गया है?

इस लेटर में कहा गया है कि यह एक महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दा है लेकिन इसे अक्सर नजरअंदाज किया जाता है। लगातार और लंबे समय तक ईयरफोन और हेडफोन के इस्तेमाल से सुनने की समस्या हो सकती है। युवा वर्ग इसके ज्यादा आदि हैं और उन्हीं को यह प्रभावित करेगा। हाल के अध्ययनों से पता चला है कि लंबे समय तक ईयरफोन और हेडफोन के इस्तेमाल से सुनने की अपरिवर्तनीय क्षति हो सकती है। अगर एक बार सुनने की समस्या आ जाएगी तो फिर इसे ठीक होना मुश्किल हो सकता है। लंबे समय तक ईयरफोन और हेडफोन के इस्तेमाल की प्रक्रिया एक अवसाद को जन्म दे सकता है, जो फिर कभी ठीक नहीं हो सकता है। एक बार जब श्रवण स्थायी रूप से खराब हो जाता है, तो श्रवण यंत्र या कॉक्लियर प्रत्यारोपण द्वारा सामान्य श्रवण कभी भी बहाल नहीं किया जा सकेगा।

विश्व श्रवण दिवस 2025 की थीम | World Hearing Day 2025 Theme

इस साल विश्व श्रवण दिवस की थीम ‘मानसिकता बदलना, कानों की और सुनने की शक्ति की देखभाल को सभी के लिए वास्तविक बनाने के लिए खुद को सशक्त करना’। इस थीम का मकसद कानों की दिक्कतों को लेकर आम लोगों में व्याप्त गलत धारणाओं और मानसिकता को खत्म करना है और लोगों को सुनने की शक्ति बनाए रखने के लिए प्रेरित करने के साथ ही इन दिक्कतों को दूर करने के प्रति जागरूक करना भी है।

ऐसे करें अपने कानों की देखरेख

– सुनने की शक्ति को बनाए रखने के लिए कानों की सही देखरेख करना जरूरी है। इस बात का ध्यान रखें कि आप अपने कानों में जरूरत से ज्यादा मैल ना जमने दें।
– कानों में जमा मैल (Ear Wax) को साफ करने के लिए डॉक्टर की मदद लें। स्पेशलिस्ट बेहतर तरह से कान के मैल को साफ करके निकाल देते हैं।
– खुद से कान का मैल साफ करने के लिए कानों में नुकीली चीजें ना डालें। इससे परमानेंट डैमेज का खतरा रहता है।
-तेज आवाजों से कानों को दूर रखें। इयरबड्स या हैंडफ्री से गाने सुनते हैं तो खासतौर से जरूरत से ज्यादा तेज गाने सुनने से परहेज करें।
– अगर कभी भी यह लगता है कि कम सुनाई दे रहा है या सही तरह से नहीं सुन पा रहे हैं तो हियरिंग चेकअप जरूर कराएं। इससे समय रहते दिक्कत का पता लगाकर उसे दूर किया जा सकता है।

TN’s Influential Media Group Vikatan Faces Website Blockage by I&B Ministry

-
One of the most influential media groups of Tamil Nadu, Vikatan, has announced that it is consulting legal experts as its website has been blocked since February 15. The media house earlier alleged that the website was blocked after it published a cartoon on its digital magazine, Vikatan Plus, that depicted Prime Minister Narendra Modi with his hands and legs changed sitting across US President Donald Trump. The cartoon was published on February 10 and triggered controversy with Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai and supporters of the party. Taking a dig at the media house, soon the website was blocked.

Free Speech

The cartoon was based on the deportation of several Indians from the US in handcuffs days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Donald Trump at the White House. According to the media group, on the night of 25th February, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a final order regarding the matter.
“The information and broadcasting ministry implemented this blockade without providing any formal notice to Vikatan,” says the media group in a statement released this week. Vimatan also said that a detailed enquiry in the matter happened on February 20, during which Vikas provided complete explanations defending the cartoon as an expression of free speech. But the website remains blocked from viewers.

Fifth Century Ship Revived to Set Sail from India to Oman
A fifth-century wooden stitched ship was recreated using the ancient stitching technique and structured using coconut fibre stitching, traditional wooden joinery, coir rope and natural reasons. The ship is powered by cotton sails and was launched at Goa’s Divar Island this week. The ship has been put in the water for the first time. According to officials, it has been depicted on a painting inside the Ajanta caves in Maharashtra.
The vessel will have a 15-member crew of the Indian Navy and is expected to set sail on a historic voyage to Oman, retracing an ancient trading route between India and the Gulf region. 

Reviving Ancient Maritime Heritage

This project is part of an initiative to revive India’s rich maritime heritage. It is being curated by a tripartite agreement between the Indian Navy, the Ministry of Culture and a Goa-based ship building company, Hodi innovations (OPC) Private Limited. 
The ancient technique of stage ships features a main mast, mizzen mast and bowsprit mast with navigation achieved using steering oars. The vessel is bound together with coir rope and fibre. The vessel’s kneel is made up of Goa’s state tree: Matti. Jackfruit wood frames have been selected to match the ship’s natural curve. Its joints are sealed with a traditional mixture of fish oil and khundruns.

-
New Delhi, India: DBS Foundation, in partnership with Haqdarshak Empowerment Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (HESPL), has announced a new program designed to help advance financial inclusion, with a focus on rural India. The program is part of DBS Bank’s larger commitment, announced in 2023, to allocate SGD 1 billion over the next decade to improve the lives and livelihoods of low-income and underprivileged individuals. The DBS Foundation will provide SGD 5.1 million to fund the program, which has targeted impacting 500,000 beneficiaries in totality across the country.
India’s rural population can often face challenges such as lack of information about and access to financial services and social welfare entitlements. The DBS-funded program addresses these critical gaps by providing resources to help this demographic understand financial concepts and products as well as the tools and assistance on how to access social welfare schemes, supported by Haqdarshak’s team of agents. The program implementation will focus on rural regions in the states of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha.
As part of the program, dedicated field teams, including Haqdarshak’s female agents, will be deployed to conduct both digital and financial literacy training sessions along with entitlement screening sessions. The program will prioritise enrolling eligible beneficiaries, particularly women, the elderly, and nano entrepreneurs like street vendors and tradesmen, into appropriate social welfare schemes. Additionally, to bolster their protection against financial fraud, participants will receive anti-scam awareness trainings. Enhancing the effectiveness of these services, the Haqdarshak Yojana Card, a QR coded card will facilitate easy access to the beneficiary’s social entitlement profiles online with periodic information updates on scheme eligibility. DBS employees will actively participate in the program delivery under its staff volunteer movement ‘People of Purpose’ to increase content awareness as well as conduct community sessions along with the Haqdarshak team.
Azmat Habibulla, Managing Director and Head – Group Strategic Marketing and Communications, DBS Bank India, said, “Since inception more than a decade ago, the DBS Foundation has been focused on uplifting lives and livelihoods and, it is especially meaningful to be able to launch a new intervention with Haqdarshak, who we have nurtured since 2018 as a Business For Impact. Having completed three decades in India, DBS Bank is more committed than ever to stay true to its purpose-driven vision and catalyse change. Together with Haqdarshak, we will take forward this shared mission to go beyond banking and empower communities through financial inclusion. By tackling real knowledge gaps with targeted solutions, we can enable pathways out of poverty and create lasting impact to help build a better world for generations to come.”
Over the years, Haqdarshak has been engaging with and been supported by the DBS Foundation (DBSF), including via the 2018 DBSF Business for Impact Grant and the 2020 DBSF Business Transformation Improvement Grant. In 2023 Haqdarshak became a DBSF program partner in India to foster digital and financial literacy among citizens from vulnerable communities across Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. Through this initiative over 10,000 digital and financial literacy sessions were successfully conducted for over 2 lakh beneficiaries, along with entitlement screening and facilitation support to over 4 lakh individuals so they could avail relevant welfare schemes. Notably, around 90% of the participants trained in digital and financial literacy were women.
Commenting on the announcement, Aniket Doegar, Co-Founder and CEO of Haqdarshak, said “As we navigate an increasingly fast-paced world, it is important to support those who may need more assistance and ensure that no one is left behind. Our new program is aimed at fostering long-term economic resilience and self-sufficiency among underprivileged communities by giving them the skills and confidence to access the benefits of the formal system. The DBS Foundation has been instrumental as a trusted partner in our journey and their consistent support over the years has enabled us to scale our reach and impact more lives positively. We look forward to partnering once again on a very purposeful initiative, bringing about real impact by sparking collective action.”
This program is part of the DBS Foundation’s broader objective to support vulnerable communities and enable them to gain financial resilience across Asia, with a specific focus on the underprivileged and ageing members of society. By championing Businesses For Impact, DBS advocates for enterprises with a dual bottom line of profit and purpose, nurturing those that align with its mission and integrating them into DBS’s culture and operations.

How Adani Foundation is Empowering Women through Mushroom Cultivation in Jharkhand’s Godda

How Adani Foundation is Empowering Women through Mushroom Cultivation in Jharkhand’s Godda
Adani group through its CSR arm Adani Foundation has been empowering women farmers through mushroom cultivation in Jharkhand’s Godda. These women, most of whom were living below the poverty level in remote rural areas of Jharkhand, are now self-sufficient, running their households through their income and beaming with confidence. Adani Foundation through its training programmes has been encouraging these women to take up mushroom cultivation, thereby bringing about a positive change in their lives.

The story of Vinita Jha

For Vinita Jha, taking care of her family of eight had been a challenge. Vinita’s husband, a farmer, works for more than nine hours every day and she herself used to work as a sewing trainer, while running the household. “We have been struggling for months, and finally, I decided to take up another job to add to my family’s income,” she said. “That’s when one of my neighbours told me about mushroom cultivation. I had no idea about it. So, I thought of giving it a try.”
Three months ago, Vinita attended a training programme where a team from Adani Foundation encouraged women to take up mushroom cultivation. Vinita has been growing mushrooms since then. “I have been earning Rs 5,000 every month,” said the 48-year-old resident of Dumaria village.
With an aim to augment the income of women living in the villages of Jharkhand’s Godda district and making them self-reliant, Adani Foundation has been running a programme to spread awareness about mushroom cultivation.

Sabnam Kumari’s journey

“The training session was held for two days. We were told about various aspects of mushroom cultivation, including the financial aspect. We were taught how to grow mushrooms, pack and sell them. There are mainly three kinds of mushrooms — milky, oyster and button mushrooms. The cultivation of oyster mushrooms is easy and economical. It is tasty and has a lot of medicinal properties. The best thing is that these mushrooms can be sold dry,” said Sabnam Kumari, from Baksara.
“I am a teacher at a private school here. After attending the training session, I started growing mushrooms to support my family of five,” she added.

What inspired Lalita Devi

For Lalita Devi, a homemaker, mushroom cultivation has been an important step towards self-reliance. “I have two children and my days would revolve around them. Now, I go to the market almost every day and sell mushrooms. This has given me a new direction in life,” said the Baksara resident.
A bag of mushrooms weighing about 2 kgs costs Rs 50. By selling it, one can earn a profit of Rs 200-300 a day, one of the trainers said. “This means an average income of up to Rs 6,000 a month,” he added.
According to Adani Foundation officials, these training sessions have been held in villages across Godda district. The programme targets to impact about 500 women and connect them to local markets for selling mushrooms.

How Sindhu Devi’s life changed

Sindhu Devi from Dumaria said she works as a tailor, but her family’s income is not sufficient. “I have three sons and one daughter. I attended the training session organised by the Adani Foundation and thought of trying my luck with mushroom cultivation. It was a good decision,” she said adding that her income has increased by about Rs 5,000 per month.

Pushpa Devi’s story

Pushpa Devi, another Dumaria resident, said she enjoyed the training session. “It was very interesting. I got to meet many people from my village. It was a great experience,” said the mother of six.
In the past few months, more than 300 women from several villages close to the Adani power plant in Godda have been trained and most of them have been earning up to Rs 6,000 a month. “I visit the local market three days a week. On most days, I manage to sell my entire stock. Dry mushrooms have a lot of takers because they are easy to transport and store. I am glad I attended the training session organised by Adani Foundation,” Pushpa said.
