Over the years a beautiful ecosystem was also developed. We all are proud of our IT Industry. Our government came into power five months ago and in between, we have a poll code of conduct. The Chief Minister of the state Mr. Revanth Reddy has been working 24×7 for the past three months to fulfil the dreams of the people which were not realised during the previous government ruling.

Speaking about the IT industry in the state, D. Sridhar Babu said, we are working to bring the best brains back to Telangana. Our IT industry is at the number two position now and we would like to see it at a number one position. The Y2K Bug was the turning point for the software industry. Now AI (Artificial Intelligence) is another such moment. Chief Minister wants Telangana to take a lead, and it is his vision. We want Hyderabad positioned as the ‘AI capital of India’. It is our earnest desire to see Hyderabad as an AI City. We want to see Hyderabad as the most happening city for AI activity. We would like to see the city as a house for AI research. Who is who of the AI world must work from here, and more and more AI products and services be developed from here. Telangana would like to set up a dedicated Artificial Intelligence City. We have already allocated 200 acres of land to position Hyderabad as India’s ‘AI capital’. The AI City will be a city for tomorrow’s work. We will certainly require the services of TFMC (Telangana Facility Management Council), he added

AI is expected to capture every breadth of human life soon. We would like to take an early lead to be at the forefront of that technological development. Aiming for technology-driven growth, the Telangana government plans to host the AI Global Summit in Hyderabad in July, the Minister revealed. We will see that many AI intellectuals from across the globe take part in the Summit. The Telangana government will absorb AI into its governance, Sridhar Babu added.

Another important step and the most ambitious project we are looking at is the setting up of a Skill University in August this year. It will be on par with the best of the best global institutions. It is going to be another landmark like ISB for the city of Hyderabad. By doing so we would like to fill the gap between industry and academia that exists now. Right now we are finalising the modalities. However, we welcome suggestions, and professional expertise from experts on its constitution, modalities, policy frameworks etc, D. Sridhar Babu said

Sridhar Babu gave away mementoes of appreciation to the partners of the 10th Green Annual FM Summit 2024 who made it possible.

Later TFMC presented the Social Excellence Awards and the Green Awards. The Social Excellence Awards were presented to a couple of traffic cops.

“Handle Corona patients with patience and humanity. Currently, such a situation is missing in many hospitals” : Harish Rao, Finance Minister

Aug 4, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #“JITO COVID CARE CENTER(JITO-CCC), #Chairman of Mahavir Hospital & Research Center, #Govt of Telangana, #Harish Rao, #ITO Hyderabad Chapter, #Minister for Finance, #Motilal Bhalgat

Amidst so much negative news here comes the good news. JITO Hyderabad Chapter turns Hotel Manasarovar The Fern at Chiraan Fort Club in Begumpet, Hyderabad into “JITO COVID CARE CENTER(JITO-CCC), offers services for isolation and treatment for asymptomatic & mild COVID- 19 Patients.

The JITO-CCC was formally inaugurated by Harish Rao, Minister for Finance, Govt of Telangana -accompanied by K. Prabhakar Reddy, MP and Kanthi Kumar, MLA.

Addressing the gathering Harish Rao, told doctors at JITO—Corona Care Center to handle Corona patients with patience and humanity. Such a situation is missing in many hospitals currently, he added.

Responding to the request made by Motilal Bhalgat, Chairman of Mahavir Hospital & Research Center to make Mahavir Hospital a Freehold so that they could construct a new building and expand, Harish Rao gave them an assurance to organise their meeting with Chief Minister and pursue the matter.

JITO a global body which works with a motto Seva, Knowledge and Economic Empowerment has inaugurated 15 such Corona Care Centers across the country. The 16th was inaugurated today. JITO plans to set up more such centres across the country.

Harish Rao who inaugurated the 16th Center in India described it as a need of the hour. Society needs more such centres. Our CM tells us to talk less and work more. The more we talk, the patients are more confused. Corona is invisible. So contracting Corona or not is not in our hands. The victims must not be discriminated. So he told doctors and nurses at JITO-CCC handle patients with care, positivity and good attitude. Handle with humanity. Good words used, confidence given to patients help them mentally and contributes for faster recovery he said.

Jain community is always at the forefront in taking up such projects, furthermore providing care in the most affordable cost, Harish said.

Addressing the gathering Motilal Bhalgat, Chairman of Mahavir Hospital & Research Center appealed to Harish Rao to give Mahavir Hospital a FreeHold on the land. Hospital is located on land on a long lease. The first 30 years lease expired in 2007 and the next 30 years lease will end in the year 2037. But, given the yeoman services offered by it to the poor, I urge Government of Telangana to give us Freehold on the land, so that we will construct a new building and expand current 220 beds to 400. We can pump in, raise money and make a huge structure with 1,50,000 sq feet constructed area. We are willing to invest anywhere above Rs 25 crore on such an expansion and if need be we will raise more money, he shared

Further, he added, Mahavir Hospital created 25 bedded COVID wing and if the need arises we will expand it to 100 beds, shared Mahavir Hospital Chairman.

Speaking on the occasion Narendra Surana said, JITO members risked their lives in setting up this care Center with a sole motive to make COVID care affordable.

The JITO-CCC will have three doctors and nurses 24×7 stationed in the premises itself shared Ashok Kothari who worked tirelessly behind this project. The idea behind this care Center is to provide affordable care. We are even willing to admit deserving poor for free on a case to basis and the need, he shared

Manoj Dugar, Chairman of JITO, Hyderabad Chapter said it is a community service project. We unitedly want to help fellow citizens in this hour of crisis. JITO has 15000 members all over the world he shared.

Jain International Trade Organization (JITO) is a worldwide body of Jains is committed to spiritual awakening to perpetuate the Jain principles of non- violence, noble charities among others for a peaceful world with compassion towards all living beings and as a result have a harmonious and a happy world informed Vinod Ranka.

As private hospitals fleecing patients, the victims of Corona are more terrified about going to hospitals rather than Corona. In this light of the background, JITO has decided to come and offer the most affordable solution.

The pricing is kept based on the affordability of the patients. The Package includes all meals, Medication, treatment & Stay

The JITO Corona Care Centre is permitted and approved by the Telangana State Health department

COVID 2019 has turned the world upside down. First, it was lockdown, job, business loss and now the probability of hospitalization. All these are put together are taking the toll on the people.

JITO Hyderabad Chapter decided to set up this facility on humanitarian ground in association with Mahavir Hospital & Research Center. JITO COVID CARE CENTER’ (JITO-CCC) will be formally functional from 5th August 2020 onwards

The JITO-CCC will function strictly adhering to ICMR Guidelines shared Dr Aarthi.

It will have an Emergency Backup arrangement with Super Specialty Hospital. It is equipped with an Oxygen Facility for emergency usage. Personal & Medical Kit will be provided on Admission.
