Southern Railway launches telemedicine link to bring specialist care to remote railway units

SR general manager R N Singh inaugurated the telemedicine facility. CHENNAI: Southern Railway has launched an integrated telemedicine facility in railway hospitals and health units, allowing patients in remote areas to access specialist and super-specialist care without travelling long distances. Inaugurated by general manager R N Singh at the Southern Railway Headquarters Hospital in Perambur on Friday, the system links divisional hospitals and health units to the headquarters hospital here. The facility was developed under the Government of India's e-Sanjeevani scheme. Using real-time video consultations and live streaming of diagnostic reports such as ECGs and X-rays, medical officers at remote locations can now consult directly with specialists at Perambur, streamlining treatment decisions. Officials said the facility proved crucial during the Covid-19 pandemic and is now the first of its kind in Indian Railways. During the launch, Singh witnessed a live consultation from the Divisional Railway Hospital in Madurai and urged officials to ensure high-speed internet across all health units. He reviewed new digital queue systems and signage boards at the Perambur OPD block.

OTP, face recognition must for take-home ration

Lucknow: The state govt will integrate the face recognition system (FRS) into the Poshan Tracker to check corruption and ensure that nutritious food provided to pregnant women, lactating mothers, adolescents and children aged 6 months to 6 years reaches the targeted beneficiaries. Poshan Tracker is a mobile application-based nutrition monitoring system. This tool has been developed to identify the prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among children and track the last-mile delivery of nutrition services. A deadline of July 1, 2025, has been set to ensure 100% FRS coverage for the Take Home Ration (THR) scheme for which an awareness and registration campaign will be launched across the state soon. An official said FRS operates as a dual-authentication mechanism, combining facial recognition with one-time password (OTP) verification. Photographs of beneficiaries are matched with Aadhaar-linked e-KYC data, and OTPs are sent to their registered mobile numbers, which are then verified at anganwadi centres. This helps prevent fraud and ensures that rations reach the intended recipients. The pilot project was launched in 2024 in Kanpur Nagar's Bidhanu and Sarsaul. As of June 13, 2025, e-KYC for 1.18 crore eligible beneficiaries is underway, with Kanpur Nagar leading at 45.34% progress. Districts like Badaun and Bahraich, which have shown slow progress, are being given focused attention. Among the key directions issued to make this project a success are instructions to release funds for THR only to FRS-registered beneficiaries. FRS will be mandatory for new beneficiaries from Aug 1 and district magistrates have been instructed to hold registration camps at the block and panchayat levels, monitor progress daily, and raise awareness. Chief development officers have been mandated to carry out regular reviews to ensure timely implementation of the scheme.
