In order to mitigate the criticality of inadequate availability of specialised medical manpower, veteran defence doctors have come forward answering the call of the nation to provide free online consultation services on the e-Sanjeevani platform. This will help on making the invaluable experience of veteran defence medical professionals available to fellow citizens of the country.
e-Sanjeevani OPD is a Govt of India flagship telemedicine platform, developed by the C-DAC, Mohali under the aegis of MoHFW, Govt of India. It facilitates free online medical consultation to all citizens of India, as well as provides for online prescription of medicines.
‘Ex-Defence OPD’ was launched on 07 May 2021 in a phased manner by Defence Secretary Dr Ajay Kumar and Surgeon Vice Admiral Rajat Datta, Director General of Armed Forces Medical Services. Initially available for Uttar Pradesh, it was extended to Rajasthan on 10 May and Uttarakhand on 11 May as more veteran defence volunteer doctors came onboard. As of today, 85 veteran defence doctors are providing their services on the portal and have provided online consultation to more than 1000 patients.
After the successful roll out in 3 states, Ex-Defence OPD, now renamed as Defence National OPD, has been rolled out pan India on 14 May 2021 and is available on www.esanjeevaniopd.in.
Availability of veteran defence medical professionals on this Govt of India platform has provided additional impetus to the STAY HOME OPD. Their vast experience and expertise is being optimally utilized by patients across the country. This initiative will go a long way in obtaining necessary medical advice and consultation in the safe environment of patients' homes, avoiding unnecessary visits to hospitals and increasing the risk of getting infected with COVID and overburdening the limited health resources.
All citizens are urged to utilise this unique facility by logging on to esanjeevaniopd.in.
Improving the livelihoods of the tribal population and bettering the lives of the underprivileged and beleaguered tribals has been the mission of TRIFED, Ministry of Tribal Affairs. With this in mind, TRIFED has implemented several initiatives, keeping in mind the PM’s clarion call of building an Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Among the various initiatives, which have helped in alleviating the economic distress of the tribals, are the Van Dhan tribal start-ups and the Mechanism for Marketing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support Price (MSP) & Development of Value Chain for MFP Scheme that provides MSP to gatherers of forest produces and introduce value addition and marketing through tribal groups and clusters. These programmes have gained widespread acceptance across the country.
In particular, the initiative of Van Dhan tribal start-ups, especially has been very successful.
In less than 18 months, 37259 Van DhanVikas Kendras (VDVKs), subsumed into 2224 Van DhanVikas Kendra Clusters (VDVKCs) of 300 forest dwellers each, have been sanctioned by TRIFED as of date. A typical Van DhanVikas Kendra includes 20 tribal members. 15 such Van DhanVikasKendras form 1 Van DhanVikas Kendra cluster. The Van DhanVikas Kendra Clusters will provide the Van DhanVikas Kendras economies of scale, livelihood and market-linkages, as well as entrepreneurship opportunities to nearly 6.67 lakh Tribal forest gatherers in 23 states and 2 UTs. As per TRIFED, 50 lakh tribals have been impacted by the Van Dhan start-ups programme up until now.
During TRIFED’s recent “Sankalp se Siddhi” - Village & Digital Connect Drive from April 1, 2021, which entailed teams visit villages across of the country, several success stories from different states stood out. One of these success stories was from the southern State of Karnataka.
In the past year, 585 VDVKs which have been grouped into 39 VDVKCs have been set up in Karnataka and are helping approximately 11400 tribal beneficiaries. The State Tribal Welfare department is the nodal department while LAMPS Federation, Mysore is the implementation partner in the State for the programme.
Sanjivini Pradhan Mantri Vikas Kendra, a Van DhanVikas Kendra Cluster, in Pakshirajapura, Hunsuru in Mysore district has now been operational for a while .The products that are being processed and value -added by the tribals in this VDVK cluster are herbal hair oil, Malabar tamarind, and honey. Under the leadership of Smt Neema Srinivas, their champion entrepreneur, the tribals handed over packaged bottles of herbal hair oil toTRIFED officials. This product will soon be sold via TRIFED’s extensive network of Tribes India retail outlets and Tribes India.com.
Tribals at the newly operational Vanasiri Pradhana Mantri Van DhanVikas Kendra Cluster at Kote, Mysore have been processing and packaging wild honey in Glass Bottles which will soon be sold by TRIFED. Other processed products include tamarind at this VDVKC.
In Pradhana Mantri Chaithanya Van DhanVikas Kendra cluster, the tribal members have processed broom grass into broomsticks. Other products being worked upon by the members of the various VDVKs within this cluster are honey, dalchini, shikakai and plates made of adike leaves. All these products are expected to be launched in May 2021 following which will be procured by TRIFED.
It is hoped that in the coming days more and more success stories arising from the Van DhanYojana initiative which fosters Vocal For Local and an Atmanirbhar Bharat will come to the fore and also lead to optimising the income and livelihoods of tribal people and finally a transformation of their lives.

अक्षय तृतीया - Akshaya Tritiya !
अक्षय तृतीया पर माँ लक्ष्मी का पूजन
किया जाता है।
अक्षय तृतीया हिन्दुओं और जैन धर्मावलम्बियों का अत्यंत पवित्र दिन होता है। वैशाख शुक्ल पक्ष की तीसरी तिथि को यह पवित्र दिन आता है जो प्रतिवर्ष अप्रैल अथवा मई के महीने में पड़ता है। इस दिन को भगवान परशुराम का जन्म भी हुआ था, अतः इसे परशुराम जयंती भी कहा जाता है। भगवान परशुराम विष्णु के छठे अवतार माने जाते हैं। यह भी माना जाता है कि महाभारत महाकाव्य को लिपिबद्ध करने का कार्य भगवान गणेश द्वारा इसी दिन प्रारम्भ किया गया था। इस महाकाव्य की रचना वेद व्यास द्वारा की गयी थी और उन्होंने इसी दिन भगवान् गणेश को इसे सुनाना प्रारम्भ किया था।
जैन धर्मावलम्बियों की मान्यता है कि उनके प्रथम तीर्थंकर ऋषभदेव जी द्वारा एक वर्ष की कठिन तपस्या पूरी करने के बाद इसी दिन गन्ने का रस करपात्र (दोनों हथेलियों को जोड़कर बनाये गए पात्र) में लेकर पिया गया था। इसे वर्षी-तप के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। अक्षय तृतीया को जैन व्रत - उपवास रखते हैं और तीर्थों में जाते हैं। विशेष कर गुजरात के पालीताना में जहाँ भगवान ऋषभदेव ने तप किया था।
उड़ीशा के जगन्नाथपुरी में रथ-यात्रा के लिए रथ के निर्माण का कार्य इसी दिन प्रारम्भ किया जाता है। अक्षय -तृतीया के दिन शुभ कार्य का प्रारम्भ किया जाता है। विवाह, सोने की खरीददारी, जमीन की खरीददारी या किसी प्रकार का इन्वेस्टमेंट के लिए यह दिन अत्यंत शुभ माना जाता है।हिन्दू किसी शुभ कार्य को करने के लिए शुभ तिथि हेतु पञ्चाङ्ग देखते हैं, परन्तु अक्षय तृतीया का दिन इतना शुभ होता है कि इसके लिए पंचांग देखने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
वैसे तो भगवान विष्णु के पूजन में अक्षत अर्पित नहीं किया जाता, किन्तु अक्षय तृतीया ही ऐसा दिन होता है जब विष्णु को अक्षत चढ़ा सकते हैं तथा शिव को तुलसी।
अक्षय तृतीया के पावन दिन ही प्रतिवर्ष भगवान बद्रीनाथधाम के कपाट भक्तों के दर्शन हेतु खुलते हैं।
अक्षय तृतीया के दिन श्रीबांके बिहारी जी
के चरण - कमलों के दर्शन।
श्रीवृन्दावनधाम में बांके बिहारी जी का प्रसिद्ध मंदिर है जहाँ दर्शन कर अनेक भक्तों की मनोकामनाएँ पूर्ण हुई हैं। किन्तु बिहारी जी के चरणों के दर्शन नहीं हो पाते क्योंकि वे वस्त्रों से ढँके होते हैं। उनके चरणों के दर्शन पूरे वर्ष में मात्र अक्षय तृतीया के दिन ही भक्तों के लिए सुलभ होते हैं। पायलों से सजे ठाकुर जी के चरण कमलों के दर्शन हेतु भक्तों का जन सैलाब उमड़ पड़ता है ताकि उनकी विशेष कृपा प्राप्त हो सके।
मान्यता है कि अक्षय तृतीया के दिन ही राजा भगीरथ की तपस्या से माँ गंगा स्वर्ग से पृथ्वी पर अवतरित हुई थीं। सतयुग एवं त्रेतायुग का प्रारम्भ भी अक्षय तृतीया से ही माना जाता है।
अक्षय का अर्थ होता है -जिसका क्षय न हो अर्थात जो घटे नहीं, जो सदा बना रहे। माह के पक्ष की तीसरी तिथि को तृतीया कहते हैं। अर्थात वह तृतीया जिसमें किया गया कार्य अक्षय रहे। इस दिन किया गया दान-पुण्य कभी घटता नहीं। चूँकि गृहस्थों की आशा धन-संग्रह की होती है अतः इस दिन वे विशेषकर माँ लक्ष्मी की पूजा करते हैं और सोने - चाँदी की ख़रीददारी करते हैं। बदलते समय में आज का दिन बाज़ार के लिए भी बहुत बड़ा दिन हो गया है, इसमे मीडिया एवं ज्योतिषियों का बहुत योगदान है।
