Hyderabad, September 22, 2023……. India’s all-in-one and Industry-focused Livestock, Dairy and Fisheries Trade Exposition and knowledge Conclave “LDF India” began at Hitex on Thursday. LDF stands for Livestock, Dairy and Fisheries. The three-day expo which concludes on Sunday features 80 stalls highlights the significant benefits, and showcases the strengths and export potential of the sector.

It is jointly hosted by Hitex and Aqua Farming Technologies and Solutions (AFTS).

It was formally inaugurated by Dr Tarun Shridhar, Former Union Secretary—AHD, Govt of India and Member, Central Administrative Tribunal, Dr L. Narasimha Murthy, ARS, Chief Executive I/c & Senior Executive Director, National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB); Susheela Chintala, Chief General Manager, NABARD, Telangana; D. Chandra Sekhar, IEDS, Additional Development Commissioner; Sri WVR Reddy, IAS and Mr. Venu Dantuluri -AFTS.

Addressing the gathering Dr Tarun Shridhar said livestock never got its due credit. It has always been a subset of Agriculture. India lives in villages. You won’t find a farmer without having a connection to livestock. Livestock is somehow relegated to a secondary role. However, India has a significant livestock population, is a major global fish producer, and leads in global milk production and consumption. A dedicated expo on LDF is the need of the hour and I hope that it will soon graduate on par with Boston SeaFoods at the global level.

India is the Data Capital of the world. Technology has been disrupting. Technology in Animal Husbandry is no exception. However, the livestock industry is overlooked and under-serviced, although it is the most vital and provides much-needed renewable natural resources that we rely on daily. So why is the process of adopting technology so slow within this industry? he asked. Expos like this not only showcase our strengths but also wake up our policyholders Dr Tarun Shridhar said.

The livestock sector is a fast-growing sector of our economy. It records 8.5% growth, which is higher than the manufacturing and services sector, he added. Dr L. Narasimha Murthy, Chief Executive of the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB), an autonomous organization under the administrative control of the Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India said the livestock sector thrived even during covid and recorded 8 to 9% growth. Speaking about the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), he said it is an initiative launched by the Government of India to establish a comprehensive framework and reduce infrastructural gaps in the fisheries sector. It has generated 47.19 lakh employment opportunities. It has achieved 174 lakh tonnes of record fish production in 2022-23. It achieved Rs 63,960 crores of seafood exports. 33.86 lakh fisheries are covered annually under the Ground Accident Insurance Scheme. Further, he said that India is the second largest Aquaculture Producer in the World and about 68% of India’s fish come from the aquaculture sector.

Cattle are power. Livestock has always been an integral part of Agriculture. But it is no longer seen as attractive, though it has very good potential. But good days have come back as the whole world is talking about natural, organic and regenerative farming. The livestock sector now is seen as a very big sector with great potential just as food security but as nutrition security. Livestock products assume greater importance in light of India’s 107 positions out of 121 in the World Hunger Index. With more than 70% of the meat-consuming population, India needs to gear up to meet the projected demand of 18.1 MT and per capita meat consumption of 13.8 kg in 2050, said Suseela Chintala, Chief General Manager, NABARD.

D. Chandra Sekhar, Additional Development Commissioner, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Govt of India said the Ministry has enabled 46(23 local and 23 non-local) Micro and Small entrepreneurs to participate in India. WVR Reddy, a retired bureaucrat and a subject expert said we all are connected to livestock from our early childhood. But our youth are no longer interested in it. We must make this sector a blue-collar-like sector so that we can attract youth. To make it attractive. you need to bring technology and innovation.

Dalit Bandhu beneficiaries also plan to visit the expo to explore opportunities.

Godavari Cuts displayed 25 kg of YellowFin Tuna, a rare variety of fish. Yellowfin can live up to six or seven years. They are highly migratory and are found throughout the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Yellowfish tuna is endangered. The species also ranks among the largest tuna species globally. The expo has many stalls such as Country Chicken, which was founded by two young entrepreneurs Saikesh Gound and Mohd Sami Uddin, who talk about the world’s first odorless meat store. Many stress the need for modern meat stores, meat stores which are hygienic. Post-COVID hygiene has been a major concern for everybody. Though we have good, Hygienic shops for vegetables, not many hygienic meat shops are found. People are scared of buying meat from untrusted shops. They are scared to buy frozen fish. They are scared to buy chicken from untidy places. Women go out to buy vegetables, but meat is bought by men. Why is this? Asked many. Now things are changing and meat shops have become more hygienic.

Varthana, in 2023, has also ranked 3rd in best mid size workplaces in India and among the top 25 BFSI firms in the country and top 10 India’s Best Mid-Size Workplaces for Millennials in terms of people practices and workplace culture & environment.

These loans are custom-built to suit a wide range of projects that help school leaders unlock their school’s potential, as well as for college-going students to achieve their educational goals.

Great Place to Work identified the Best Workplaces in Asia™ this year by surveying 2.1 million employees in Asia and the Middle East about the key factors that create great workplaces for all and by analyzing company workplace programs impacting 5.9 million employees in the region.

To be considered, companies had to be identified first as outstanding in their local region by appearing on one or more of the Best Workplaces lists in Bahrain, Greater China (including China, Hong Kong and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Oman, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, UAE, Vietnam during 2022 or early 2023.

Hyderabad, 22nd September 2023— American Oncology Institute (AOI) Hyderabad successfully treated a 4-year-old girl through a groundbreaking Haploidentical stem cell transplantation, where her mother served as a donor. The young patient, named Deepika, initially sought medical help due to bleeding gums and frequent nosebleeds (epistaxis).

Her condition was further complicated by a drastically low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), which reached a critical level of 3000. Suspecting immune thrombocytopenia, Dr Ashok Kumar, Haemato-Oncologist and bone Marrow Transplant Physician at AOI initiated treatment with steroids. Upon further investigation, her bone marrow tests indicated amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, a rare congenital disorder where the bone marrow fails to produce sufficient platelets.

Dr Ashok Kumar, shared his insights, saying, “Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare, inherited disorder characterized by a severely low number of megakaryocytes, a type of bone marrow cell that makes platelets that are important for clotting and preventing bleeding. Deepika’s case exemplifies the extraordinary resilience of young patients and the power of advanced medical interventions. Our collaborative approach, combined with her mother’s selfless contribution as a donor, paved the way for this heartening success.”

Advancing their diagnostic efforts, the medical team employed Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and identified a homozygous MPL mutation, a genetic alteration related to congenital a megakaryocytic thrombocytopenia. Given the complexity of the case, AOI Hyderabad’s experts decided on a curative approach—Haploidentical stem cell transplantation, using Deepika’s mother as the donor.

The peritransplant period proved difficult for Deepika, as she encountered complications such as seizures, hypertension, and others. However, the medical team managed these symptoms with proper medication and ensure her safety and recovery. After five months of rigorous medical care, Deepika made remarkable progress. Her platelet count improved significantly, exceeding 100,000, a positive sign of her body’s response to the treatment. As her health stabilized, her medications were carefully tapered, and she now relies on a single medication.

Dr Prabhakar P, Regional Chief Operating Officer, expressing his views stated, “By embracing cutting-edge treatments and fostering a nurturing environment, we aspire to provide hope and healing to every patient and family that walks through our doors. Deepika’s journey to recovery after undergoing a rare and complex Haploidentical stem cell transplantation underlines AOI’s dedication to pushing medical boundaries for the betterment of patients’ lives.”

Bengaluru – 22nd September 2023-– NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of performance management, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today launched Adaptive DDoS Protection for its Arbor® Threat Mitigation System (TMS) to dramatically improve detection of distributed attacks that dynamically change vectors and target numerous destination IP addresses at once.

NETSCOUT ASERT, the company’s expert security research and DDoS attack mitigation team, has documented a significant increase in dynamic Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks using multiple vectors and techniques to launch botnet-based, direct-path, state exhaustion, and application-layer attacks designed to evade conventional static network and cloud-only-based DDoS defenses. Carpet-bombing attacks have risen by more than 110%. They are particularly challenging for SOC teams to mitigate using conventional means as these attacks target large swaths of IP addresses versus a single host and generate hundreds or thousands of alerts per attack.

“Direct path attacks are overtaking reflection/amplification as the most popular DDoS attack vector, and they are increasingly botnet-driven, multi-vector, and dynamically adjusted in real-time,” said Patrick Donegan, founder and principal analyst, HardenStance. “NETSCOUT knows more about DDoS attacks than any other company. ASERT analyzes highly curated data from its ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF) and uses ML-based algorithms to recommend changes to attack countermeasures to stop DDoS attacks. Automating this functionality to bring intelligence into its Adaptive DDoS Protection functionality makes Arbor TMS even more compelling in mitigating DDoS attacks.”

Adaptive DDoS Protection analyzes traffic in real time and automatically implements threat intelligence-driven mitigations and countermeasures to block dynamic DDoS attacks as they evolve. Adaptive DDoS Protection gives SOC teams a scalable, always-on, stateless packet processing solution that uses unmatched visibility into more than 50% of all internet traffic, real-time global DDoS attack threat intelligence, and decades of DDoS mitigation experience to automatically detect, adapt to, and mitigate dynamic DDoS attacks.

Defending Against Carpet Bombing

Carpet bombing attacks are one of the most devastating distributed attacks bad actors can initiate since they target large ranges of IP addresses simultaneously, generating thousands of attack alerts that are impossible for SOC teams to manage. Through Adaptive DDoS Protection, NETSCOUT has introduced a new way to understand DDoS traffic at the network level across all subnets to detect and report on carpet bombing attacks in one, easy-to-understand alert. NETSCOUT’s ML-based Precise Protection Prefix technology automatically determines the specific IP ranges targeted by the attack. It then automatically redirects those to Arbor TMS for mitigation, even as the attack moves around the network to different targets. This Adaptive DDoS Protection capability dramatically improves the detection and mitigation of carpet-bombing attacks.

“Defending a network requires as much knowledge about your adversary as possible,” said Scott Iekel-Johnson, AVP, DDoS and Threat Intelligence at NETSCOUT. “We have embedded our global threat intelligence and decades of attack mitigation experience into this product. It’s like having an ASERT analyst at your side 24/7. Our Adaptive DDoS Protection finds attacks that other solutions miss through dynamic detection and intelligent redirection to enable Arbor TMS to mitigate DDoS attacks better than any other solution on the market.”
