There are many websites out there that offer you information about health and fitness. However, it would be hard to find an online portal that exclusively discusses or deals with men’s health. To fill this void and to ensure that men have a website to refer to when they deal with some health issue, Supchar Herbals Private Limited launched Mans Pedia. What makes this platform further special is the fact that it leads men to Ayurvedic health treatments and procedures that help them overcome any health issue in the most organic manner.

Yogendra Lochib, director at Supchar Herbals, says, “The thought behind putting together this online platform was quite simple. While there are a plethora of websites that enlighten one about women’s health, there was no dedicated platform on men’s health. A large number of men suffer because of limited information about men’s health issues available on the internet. We wanted to create a website that would make health-based information pertaining to men more accessible. We are updating the website regularly and also making a note of the feedback shared by the visitors.”

While designing Mans Pedia, Supchar Herbals was mentored by renowned Ayurvedic physician Dr. Manish Sharma. Dr. Sharma is a BAMS-qualified Ayurvedic physician with several years of experience behind him. Along with Dr. Manish Sharma, the website is being driven by the expertise of several reputed Ayurvedic physicians who have proved their mettle in this space.

Elaborating on this, Dr. Yogendra Lochib says, “Our goal was to put together a website which would offer men in India and across the world all the information they need about Ayurveda. I firmly believe that Ayurveda is one of the biggest gifts from India to the world. The treatment procedures and other information that you come across on our website have been provided and verified by our team of Ayurvedic experts led by Dr. Manish Shah. Without him and the team, Mans Pedia wouldn’t have become a reality.

In a very short span of time, Manspedia.com has received a very good response. At a time when countries all across the world are setting up Ayurvedic institutes and delving deep into the various aspects of Ayurveda, the launch of Mans Pedia would definitely prove to be a boon for men who prefer Ayurvedic treatment procedures over others. The content on the website has been divided into multiple categories. Manspedia.com is nothing short of a reservoir of Ayurvedic knowledge for men all across the globe.

Industry Leaders will set the agenda for education and research in the newly formed SRMIST Qkrishi Centre of Excellence in Quantum Information and Computing (SQ-QuIC)

Chennai: SRMIST Qkrishi Centre of Excellence in Quantum Information and Computing (SQ-QuIC), announced that the following industry leaders have joined its Board of Directors: Dr. Shankar Venugopal, Vice President, Mahindra and Mahindra, Mr. Jagdish Narayanan, Chief Information Officer, Jio Payments Bank, Dr. Jai Ganesh, Chief Product Officer, Harman International and Ms. Shalaka Verma, Director, Microsoft. The board members bring decades of experience in technology leadership and a long track record of leading innovative and diverse teams around the world. Also, Dr. C. Muthamizhchelvan, Vice Chancellor, SRMIST, and Dr. S. Ponnusamy, Registrar, SRMIST, have joined the board as the academic members who bring vast experience in education and research. The leadership from the board will enable SQ-QuIC to accelerate value creation in quantum computing in India.

The centre of excellence was launched on 9th September 2022. Qkrishi Quantum Private Limited and SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) have partnered to set up the centre to provide an environment for SRM faculty and students to work jointly with industry on real industry problems to help India and the world to take advantage of quantum computing.

Quantum computing is rapidly advancing towards commercial viability. Quantum computing promises to help businesses solve tough industry problems, but industry and academia need to work together to quickly go beyond today’s early-stage use cases that are largely experimental and hypothetical.

Dr. Shankar Venugopal, Vice President, Mahindra and Mahindra, said, “Early demonstration of practical use cases for Quantum Computing is key to its success and that is best achieved through a focused Industry – Academia collaboration.”

A key focus for India is to take leadership in quantum computing. To do this India needs a skilled workforce and a thriving ecosystem that drives world-leading research and development in quantum computing.

Dr. C. Muthamizhchelvan, Vice Chancellor, SRMIST, said, “We want SQ-QuIC to have a transformational effect on the Indian ecosystem and propel India into the quantum era. We want to take the help of industry to identify the important problems, so that our faculty and students can drive research and development that has maximum impact.”

Under the guidance of the board, SQ-QuIC will work on scaling up quantum skilling and doing cutting edge research and development to address problems of national importance.

Ms. Shalaka Verma, Director, Microsoft, said, “Quantum Computing has a huge potential to change the status quo of what is possible in many industries. Its impact on healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, energy can be not only life changing but lifesaving. In a field of such a high potential, availability of skills is very low right now, and we do not have structured approach to develop skills at scale OR build ecosystem. I am looking forward to start making inroads on these lines as part of this board.”

The condition of addiction involves a variety of harmful behaviour and conditions. It is important for someone struggling with addiction to recognize these signs so they can get the help they need.

Addiction can manifest in a variety of ways. Signs are observed by others, whereas symptoms are experienced by the addict.

Someone who is addicted might show some of these signs and symptoms, but not others. It is still possible for them to be addicted even if they don’t have all of these characteristics.

Understanding the causes of addiction –

Several factors contribute to addiction. The possibility of developing an addiction exists for everyone. The risk of developing cancer, however, may be elevated by certain influences. Drug use, genetics, and mental health disorders are among the factors that contribute to addiction. A person’s risk of developing a substance addiction is also influenced by factors such as poverty, trauma, abuse, stress, and early substance use.

Siddharth Jhaveri – Founder, Zorbacare / Zorbawellness

Common signs of addiction include –

  • Changing social groups, making new friends, and having odd conversations on the phone
  • The possession of drug paraphernalia, such as pipes, cigarettes, weighing scales, etc.
  • Having financial difficulties
  • Lying
  • Unexpected, often urgent, outings
  • Being secretive
  • Theft
  • Drug stashes in plastic, paper, or foil packaging

Addiction signs can be explained in a variety of ways. Health-related reasons can also affect mood, behaviour, and energy levels.

Jumping to conclusions should be avoided. Even if some obvious signs are observed, it can be difficult to tell if someone has an addiction. You should consult a healthcare provider or addiction counsellor or specialist if you find drugs or drug paraphernalia to determine the best course of action.

The health risks and complications associated with different substances can vary. Aside from potential legal issues, illegal substances pose health risks. Overdose, brain damage, and long-term health consequences can also be associated with some substances.

There are certain groups of people who are at a higher risk of addiction. A person’s risk of becoming addicted can be increased by certain factors.

Forms of addiction –

While substance abuse is generally associated with addiction, there are also behavioural addictions like gambling that can be just as detrimental. The term addiction refers to a condition in which a person is unable to stop using a substance or a practice for an extended period. Typically, this is at the expense of their physical and mental health.

It is possible to break free from addiction through a variety of effective treatment options. To minimize the uncomfortable effects of withdrawal, doctors can prescribe medications that can reduce the cravings for certain substances.

Recovery from addiction can also be aided by psychotherapy, rehabilitation centres 12-step programs, and support groups.

A documentary film about the international peacebuilding efforts for Mindanao in the Philippines, one of the world’s long-term conflicts sparked by violence that left over 120,000 deaths and millions of displaced persons since the 1960s was released and screened in the Philippines.

In celebration of National Peace Consciousness Month, a peace documentary titled “Great Legacy” premiered in a cinema in Davao City on the evening of September 6, 2022. Around 500 representatives from the government, education sector, media, as well as civil society leaders, religious leaders across the country, and peace advocates from Mindanao have attended.

The documentary was produced by SMV Media Group, a broadcast company based in Seoul, South Korea, in collaboration with Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international non-profit organization affiliated with the UN ECOSOC advocating for global peace. The film showcased HWPL and actors who engaged in peace-related activities in Mindanao.

Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte congratulated by saying, “By showing people documentaries and films on peace, we may encourage more to be one with us in our peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts for our communities.”

HWPL’s peace movement in the Philippines started when HWPL Chairman Lee Man-hee, a Korean war veteran and peace activist, visited Mindanao several times since 2013. He mediated a civilian peace agreement signed by Archbishop Emeritus Fernando Capalla and then Maguindanao Governor Esmael “Toto” G. Mangudadatu on January 14, 2014, in General, Santos City. Before the audience of 300 people including politicians, university professors, religious leaders, and students, the representatives on that day promised to cooperate in ceasing the conflict and building peace especially in the Mindanao region which has long suffered the aftereffects of war.

This agreement became the starting point of HWPL in raising public awareness about peace not only in Mindanao but throughout the Philippines, based on the universal principles of mutual understanding, respect, and harmony. HWPL’s peace initiatives include law enactment for peace, interfaith dialogues, peace education, and youth and women empowerment, which has brought leaders in different countries to support peace in Mindanao.

In the film, Martin Lee Hojian, former chairperson of the UN Human Rights Commission of the United Nations, praised HWPL led by Chairman Lee, and the Filipino people who had a keen passion for peace. Also, Nabil Tirmage, Asia Pacific Broadcasting Development Organization program manager, said that the civil peace agreement in 2014 is an “amazing case of realization of peace that the world should study”.

“The conflict in Mindanao has been a major variable not only in Southeast Asian but global situation. The establishment of peace in Mindanao was a global task and required constructive intervention from the international community. In particular, it will be possible to understand through this documentary film that the efforts at the private sector, like HWPL in Mindanao, are the foundation for peace to settle down,” said an official of HWPL.

SMV Media Group announced that the documentary film will be accessible through various channels in different countries including broadcasting stations and multiplex theaters.
