- 3) पिछले साल कोरोना काल के कारण रेलवे के सभी ट्रेनिंग इंस्टीट्यूट बंद हो गए थे। ऐसे में डीआरएम संजय त्रिपाठी ने कैरिज व वैगन वर्कशॉप को मोबाइल ट्रेनिंग कार बनाने के आदेश दिए। जिससे कर्मचारियों को उन क्षेत्रों तक ट्रेनिंग की सुविधा दी जाए, जहां कोई ट्रेनिंग सेंटर नहीं है।
- 4) कैरिज व वैगन वर्कशॉप ने दो कनवेंशनल (पुरानी बोगियों) कोच को डिजाइन किया। मैकेनिकल अधिकारियों ने प्रशिक्षुओं की ट्रेनिंग के लिए आरामदायक कुर्सियां, प्रोजेक्टर, एसी वातानुकूलित कक्ष, पुस्तकालय सहित अन्य आवश्यक सुविधाओं की व्यवस्था की है। दोनों ही कोच को पर्यवेक्षक प्रशिक्षण केंद्र चारबाग के अधीन तैनात किया गया है।
- 5) इस मोबाइल ट्रेनिंग कार से ट्रेनिंग के साथ रिफे्रशर कोर्स भी पूरा कराया जा सकता है। सीनियर डीसीएम जगतोष शुक्ल ने बताया कि यह देश की पहली मोबाइल ट्रेनिंग कार है।
- 6) आत्मनिर्भर भारत प्रोजेक्ट के तहत इसका निर्माण किया गया है। इस कारण इनका नाम सक्षम रखा गया है। सक्षम से रेलवे अधिकारियो व कर्मचारियों के कोर्स अपने तय समय पर पूरा होंगे।

22716. CSIR scientists develop a sensor to monitor health status on the go
- 1) A team of scientists at Council of Scientific and Industrial Research’s Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CSIR-CECRI), Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, has developed a flexible low cost, wearable sensor that can monitor the health and physiological status of the human body on the go by just analyzing the sweat.
- 2) The microfluidic sensor can be used for on-the-spot monitoring of several biomarkers such as lactate, Sodium, and Potassium simultaneously from sweat samples. It analyses the biomarkers without any transfer of signals.
- 3) The high-throughput sweat sampling ability of the sensor facilitates continuous capture and transport of the sweat over the surface of the device resulting in real-time analysis.
- 4) A fluidic channel in the sensor captures real-time sweat and directs it through the active sensing electrodes for subsequent interference-free analyses. A miniaturized printed circuit board collects cross-talk-free sensor responses without the need for wires.
- 5) The team led by Dr. Vinu, who is a recipient of the INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship instituted by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, has published a report on their work in the journal ‘ACS Sensor’.

22718. IIT-Grad’s Tiny Device Transforms Blood Vessel Surgeries; Can Prevent Amputations
- 1) Shira Medtech, is a Ahmedabad-based healthcare startup founded in 2016 by Anand Parikh, a graduate of IIT-Madras. The device – Shira Clamp innovated by him is being used by 60 doctors and hospitals across India.
- 2) Shira Medtech, is hoping to reduce this through innovating a device that can prevent amputations.
- 3) “The light-weight device has clamps in such a way that it holds both the open-ends of the damaged blood vessel. The vessels, which are minuscule, become difficult to operate on. However, the clamps are designed so that it holds the arteries at an angle facing the surgeon. This makes it easier for doctors to perform the surgery,” says Anand.
