More researches and inventions of treatments needed in the field of psychology: Vinay Hegde

January 12, 2014

Mangalore, Jan 12: “There is need for more researches and inventions of medical treatment in the field of psychology. Since the psychiatric patients and families are ill-treated in society with the thinking of curse, there is need to change the social mind sets”, said N Vinay Hegde, Chancellor, NITTE university.

He was speaking after inaugurating the international seminar on 'Psychopharminar – update- 2014' organised by UNESCO chair in bioethics south India unit in collaboration with the department of psychiatric nursing, Fr Muller's College of Nursing, KS Hegde Medical Academy, NITTE University and WPA section on psychiatry in developing countries at Decennial memorial hall, FMCI, Mangalore on Sunday.

Families having psychiatric patients are living in a pathetic condition. They are being ignored by the society. Because of one person entire family is getting targeted. They suffer because of the negligence. In order to bring changes, there is need for the advanced researches and invention in psychiatric medicine, he said. In India research and studies are not being held regularly and they both must take place at the same time, Mr Hegde said.

Calling psychiatric person as a useful resource he said that the utilisation of human resource is possible through getting the patient out from trauma and utilising his strengths. He should not be kept inside the room and allow him to experience the world. Even the psychiatric nurses need more concern from society as they try to return the human resources back to society, he said stressing the need of psychiatric services in rural areas, “medical education specialised in the field of psychiatry is neglected. It is the last option among medical practitioners. Passion should be developed in this field and serve the maximum in rural areas,” he said.

Only a psychologist touches the person in whole. He reaches the mind through counselling and body through medicine. It is the only field where a medical practitioner can experience the every stages of life. But there is problem in society in accepting psychiatric person. To safeguard such families, the society need to show humanity and accept them, said Fr. Patrick Rodrigues, director, FMCI, Mangalore.

Lokayukta team arrives at disputed plot; CM likely to get ED summons

October 1,2024

Mysuru, Oct 1: The Karnataka Lokayukta team on Tuesday arrived at the disputed plot in Mysuru and began investigation into the MUDA case against CM Siddaramaiah and his wife, news agency ANI reported. Snehamayi Krishna, the complainant in the case was also present with the team.

Sources stated that ED sleuths might issue a notice to CM Siddaramaiah at any time and issue summons to him for questioning. The sleuths are also keenly watching the movements of CM Siddaramaiah’s close associates and relatives, including a cabinet minister in connection with the MUDA scam.

Sources further said that there is a possibility of the ED conducting raids across the state on offices and residences of close associates of CM Siddaramaiah. The ED has also gathered information on bank accounts and financial transactions of CM Siddaramaiah and his associates.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by the police, against CM Siddaramaiah over the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife Parvathi B.M. by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The ED registered the case taking cognisance of the FIR registered against the Chief Minister by the Lokayukta police on September 27.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka Lokayukta probing the MUDA case has also expedited the probe. The sleuths led by Mysuru Lokayukta SP T.J. Udesh have visited the controversial land on the outskirts of Mysuru city. The petitioner, Snehamayi Krishna, also accompanied the team.

The move of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife to return 14 sites allotted by the MUDA to her has triggered a debate. BJP MLA from Mysuru T.S. Srivatsa stated on Tuesday that the move of CM’s wife is not acceptable. "The two commissioners who colluded in the MUDA scam are roaming freely even today," he said.

"CM Siddaramaiah first claimed that there was no scam at all. Later, he formed a commission and now there is an FIR against him. After committing the mistake, you offer to return the sale deed. The time is up. He will have to tender his resignation and I am sure he won’t be in the position until Dasara festivities," MLA T.S. Srivatsa stated.

T.J. Abraham, one of the petitioners in the MUDA case said, “I had demanded the MUDA commissioner to take back the allotted sites. He had written back saying the process would be initiated. They were waiting for the investigation report."

"CM Siddaramaiah has not approached the division bench or the Supreme Court to challenge the order against him because there is nothing to be challenged. Returning sites is not a big sacrifice. The Chief Minister has lost it," Abraham stated.
