Health Advisory | Snakebite Awareness: Timely & Swift Action Saves Lives

 SNAKEBITE AWARENESS: TIMELY & SWIFT ACTION SAVES LIVES

"SAANP KA VAAR, ASPATAL MEIN HI UPCHAR!" 
The onset of monsoons calls for caution from snakes.  Snakebites are expected to rise, especially in those areas that are filled with a dense natural environment, mostly in the hilly and rural parts of India. Snakebites remain a major public health problem in India.

THE REALITY OF SNAKEBITES GLOBALLY AND IN INDIA 
World Health Organization data points out that nearly  4.5-5.4 million people are bitten by snakes annually worldwide, with between 1.8-2.7 million cases resulting in envenomation.  
India bears the heaviest burden globally. Research shows that India had 1.2 million snakebite deaths from 2000-2019, representing an average of 58,000 deaths per year. India accounts for approximately half of global snakebite deaths. The problem is severely underreported - Government of India's official snakebite death reports captured only one-tenth of actual deaths detected during the same period, given only 20-30% of snakebite victims in rural India seek hospital treatment. The lifetime risk of dying from snakebite in India is about 1 in 250, but reaches 1 in 100 in some high-risk areas. Nearly half of victims are aged 30-69 years, with over 25% being children under 15. About 70% of deaths occur in eight high-burden states during monsoon season. 
In India, around 90% of snakebites are caused by the 'Big Four' snakes: Common Krait, Indian Cobra, Russell's Viper, and Saw Scaled Viper. 

IMMEDIATE DO'S AND DON'TS 
Snake bite envenomation can cause severe multi-organ or multi-system damage, such as haemorrhage, paralysis, tissue necrosis, muscle breakdown, cardiotoxicity, acute kidney injury, hypovolemic shock, and death.  
The immediate task is to take the snakebite victim to a local hospital for treatment. The best way to treat a venomous snakebite is administering quality antivenom. A high-quality antivenom provides the best available treatment that can help prevent many deaths and reduce the severity of serious disabilities that impact thousands of victims. Good quality antivenom is designed and manufactured to meet the clinical needs of the populations at risk and are safe and effective for extensive use in our collective fight against snakebite deaths. 
Most snakebite cases are recorded in rural areas. Over half of all snakebites occur in 30-50-year-old farmers and in 60-80% of cases involve ankles and feet. Dependence on non-mechanised, low-cost farming techniques and barefoot farming practices place farmers at an increased risk of bites on the extremities. Also, poor housing conditions and inadequate lighting provide easy access to snakes into living spaces as they are not easily spotted. 

2 / 3
Reports suggest that inadequate first aid, delayed treatment access, and suboptimal treatment contribute to poor outcomes. Further many individuals end up trying homemade remedies or local tricks and healers like Ojhas, etc which can cause further complications.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES 
In November 2024, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare designated snakebite as a 'notifiable disease', making it mandatory for all government and private health facilities (including medical colleges) to report all suspected, probable snakebites. This addresses the severe underreporting issue and will lead to better collection of data which can be utilised for comprehensive prevention and treatment strategies for snake bites across India. 
The fight against snakebite deaths, which are highly preventable, is a matter of awareness and access. The World Health Organization included snakebite envenoming as a priority neglected tropical disease in 2017 and launched a strategy in 2019 aiming to halve snakebite deaths and disabilities by 2030. The National Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Snakebite Envenoming (NAPSE) provides a broad framework for states to develop their own action plan for management, prevention and control of snakebites through the 'One Health' approach, focusing on improved access to quality anti-venom, enhanced medical care infrastructure, community engagement and education programmes, and better surveillance systems.

PREVENTION TIPS 
What to do in case of a snakebite: 
  • ● Stay calm and restrict movements so that blood mixed with the venom doesn't flow to heart 
  • ● Take off any jewellery you might have on and tight clothing to avoid problems with swelling 
  • ● Keep the area of the bite below the heart to keep venom from spreading 
  • ● Position the patient on their left side with right leg bent and face supported by hand 
  • ● Rush immediately to the nearest hospital or health centre 
What not to do: 
  • ● Don't wash the wound 
  • ● Don't tightly wrap the site of the bite 
  • ● Don't apply a tourniquet or cold compress to a bite 
  • ● Don't cut across the area of the bite or try to suck the venom out 
  • ● Don't consume alcohol or anything with caffeine 
  • ● Do not self-medicate even if you experience pain 
  • ● Don't panic or let the victim overexert 
  • ● Don't attack the snake 

3 / 3
Don't use indigenous treatment or any unsafe home remediesWear protective footwear when working in fields. Use adequate lighting in living spaces. Keep surroundings clean to avoid attracting snakes. Be cautious during monsoon season when snake activity increases.

REMEMBER: Time is critical in snakebite cases. Every minute counts between life and death. Don't waste precious time on ineffective traditional treatments - rush to the nearest hospital immediately. 
SAANP KA VAAR, ASPATAL MEIN HI UPCHAR! 
Let us treat snakebites in the right manner - Rush to the nearest medical facility to receive the right treatment.

आयकर भरना नहीं अब बोझ, बुजुर्गों के दरवाजे पर पहुंचेगी सम्मान से भरी सेवा

- श्री नानक फाउंडेशन ने शुरू की पहल ‘संवेदनशील शुरुआत’, हजारों वरिष्ठ नागरिकों को मिलेगी राहत 
- 5000 से अधिक लोगों को अब तक मिल चुका है लाभ, घर पहुंचकर दी जा रही है सेवा 
नई दिल्ली। 
जब उम्र के साथ कदम लड़खड़ाने लगते हैं तो तकनीकी जटिलताएं और सरकारी दस्तावेजों की उलझनें किसी पहाड़ से कम नहीं लगतीं। ऐसे में अगर कोई संस्था यह कहे कि "हम आपके दरवाजे पर आकर टैक्स भरेंगे" तब यह सिर्फ सेवा नहीं बल्कि एक सम्मान की वापसी होगी। यह शुरूआत श्री नानक फाउंडेशन ने एक पहल के रूप में शुरू की है जिसे ‘संवेदनशील शुरुआत’ नाम दिया है। यह उन बुज़ुर्गों के लिए किसी वरदान से कम नहीं है जो हर साल आयकर रिटर्न भरने पर असहज महसूस करते हैं। इस सेवा के तहत अब प्रशिक्षित पेशेवर सीधे वरिष्ठ नागरिकों के घर जाकर आयकर दाखिल करने में मदद करते हैं। 
यह जानकारी साझा करते हुए श्री नानक फाउंडेशन की संस्थापक लिरिल बंसल ने कहा, “हमने महसूस किया कि टैक्स भरने में बुज़ुर्गों को जो मानसिक तनाव और असहायता झेलनी पड़ती है वह बहुत अमानवीय अनुभव है। यही कारण है कि हमने एक ऐसी पहल शुरू करने का फैसला लिया जिसमें एक सेवा भाव हो और वह उनके आत्मसम्मान को लौटाने की कोशिश होनी चाहिए।” उन्होंने कहा कि यह कोई अभियान नहीं, एक ऐसी सोच है जो उम्र चाहे जो भी हो, लेकिन उनकी गरिमा बनाए रखने की पैरवी करती है। इन बुजुर्गों को यही भरोसा देने के लिए एक नई शुरुआत के साथ श्री नानक फाउंडेशन कोशिश कर रहा है। 
लिरिल बंसल बताती हैं कि फाउंडेशन की इस पहल ने अब तक दिल्ली और एनसीआर में करीब पांच हजार अधिक बुज़ुर्गों तक घर बैठे सेवा पहुंची है। इसके पीछे कर सलाहकारों और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं की एक संवेदनशील टीम काम कर रही है, जो केवल काम निपटाने के लिए नहीं, बल्कि हर बुज़ुर्ग से जुड़ने और उसे सम्मान देने के भाव से इस सेवा को अंजाम दे रही है। फाउंडेशन अब इस सेवा को देश के अन्य हिस्सों में भी ले जाने की योजना बना रहा है, ताकि हर वह बुज़ुर्ग जो बैंक या सीए ऑफिस जाने में असमर्थ है, अपने घर पर ही वित्तीय रूप से सशक्त महसूस कर सके। 
दरअसल, फाउंडेशन की यह सेवा न केवल आईटीआर फाइलिंग तक सीमित है, बल्कि इसमें पेंशन, टीडीएस, टैक्स रिफंड, अग्रिम कर, पैन-आधार लिंकिंग, फॉर्म 26AS, AIS जैसी वित्तीय जटिलताओं को सुलझाने की सुविधा भी शामिल है। खास बात यह है कि सारी प्रक्रिया बुज़ुर्गों की सुविधा के अनुसार ऑनलाइन और ऑफलाइन दोनों तरीकों से की जाती है।

Carvel, America’s Legendary Soft Serve Ice Cream Giant, Makes Its Grand Debut in India with First Store in New Delhi

The iconic American brand that pioneered soft serve ice cream begins its India journey, offering joyful dessert experiences to a new generation of consumers

New Delhi, 23rd June 2025: This August, India will welcome a name that has brought smiles to generations in the United States. Carvel, the original soft serve ice cream and one of America’s most popular dessert brands, is set to debut in New Delhi. With a legacy spanning over 90 years, Carvel's arrival marks a pivotal moment in the progression of India's dessert culture.

Founded in 1934 by Tom Carvel, the brand is known as the creator of soft serve – the smooth, creamy ice cream that people of all ages enjoy. Over the years, Carvel has become a household favourite in the US, thanks to its delicious flavours, playful ice cream cakes and feel-good vibe. Now, that same joy is coming to India, where Carvel hopes to bring people together over indulgent desserts that are tasty, affordable and made for everyday moments of celebration.

The India expansion is being led by Unify Foodworks, which holds the exclusive master franchise rights for Carvel in the region.

Flavours such as Flying Saucers, vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio, and coffee form part of the extensive range Carvel is introducing to India. The brand aims to make indulgent desserts an accessible and enjoyable part of everyday life, not merely an occasional treat.

Sumer Sethi, Founder of Unify Foodworks, states, "Carvel has always stood for joy, celebration and togetherness, all values that transcend borders and resonate across generations. We believe that everyone, regardless of age or background, deserves to indulge in moments of delight. As we enter the Indian market, our aim is to create warm, welcoming spaces where families, students and professionals alike can pause, connect and savour something special. While Carvel’s nine-decade legacy lends its heritage and trust, it is the brand’s simplicity and heart that make it universally loved. We are excited to bring this experience to India and become a part of everyday celebrations across the country.”

The first store in New Delhi will serve as an introduction to Carvel’s world of desserts, designed to deliver comfort and charm through both product and experience. The space has been carefully planned to reflect the brand’s friendly and accessible identity, while also incorporating local sensibilities.

“India is a promising new market for Carvel. We see strong alignment between Carvel’s legacy of quality and flavor, and the evolving tastes of Indian consumers" said Steven Yang, Senior Vice President, APAC at GoTo Foods International. "Our work with Unify Foodworks gives us the local insight and operational strength needed to grow with intention and impact."

It represents the growing openness of Indian consumers to international food experiences that feel both novel and familiar. As Carvel begins this new chapter, it aspires to become a trusted and loved companion in moments of everyday celebration.
