नई दिल्ली. भारत के खाद्य और पेय (F&B) उद्योग के सबसे बड़े प्रदर्शनों में से एक, इंडसफूड मैन्युफैक्चरिंग और इंडसफूड एग्री-टेक 2025, आज इंडिया इंटरनेशनल कन्वेंशन सेंटर (IICC – यशोभूमि), द्वारका, नई दिल्ली में उद्घाटित हुआ, जिसने भारत को वैश्विक खाद्य क्षेत्र के मानचित्र पर मजबूती से स्थापित किया है। यह आयोजन ट्रेड प्रमोशन काउंसिल ऑफ इंडिया (TPCI) और इंडिया एक्सपो सेंटर लिमिटेड (IEML) द्वारा संयुक्त रूप से आयोजित किया गया है, जो एक मजबूत साझेदारी को दर्शाता है और इससे खाद्य उद्यमी विशेषज्ञता, नवाचार और वैश्विक पहुंच का लाभ उठा रहे हैं।

IEML के अध्यक्ष, डॉ. राकेश कुमार ने इस कार्यक्रम को वैश्विक उत्कृष्टता और सहयोग का प्रतीक बनाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। उनके रणनीतिक दृष्टिकोण और नेतृत्व ने IEML को ग्रेटर नोएडा से बाहर निकलकर विस्तार करने में सक्षम बनाया है, और IICC-यशोभूमि जैसे प्रमुख स्थानों पर कार्यक्रमों का आयोजन किया है, जो IEML की प्रतिबद्धता को दर्शाता है। इससे नए दर्शकों तक पहुंचने और भारत भर में अपने प्रभाव को बढ़ाने में मदद मिल रही है।

अपने संबोधन में डॉ. राकेश कुमार ने IEML और TPCI के द्वारा किए गए व्यापक प्रयासों को रेखांकित किया, जिसमें पंजाब, हरियाणा, गुजरात और महाराष्ट्र जैसे राज्यों में जिला उद्योग केंद्रों (DICs) के साथ सहयोग और देशभर में किए गए रोड शो शामिल हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि इस शो के लिए ज़मीनी स्तर पर प्रयास के साथ-साथ अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर खरीदारों को जोड़ने के प्रयास किए गए, और साथ ही अफ्रीका, अमेरिका, मध्य पूर्व और दक्षिण-पूर्व एशिया जैसे क्षेत्रों से मेज़बान दर्शकों का स्वागत किया गया। उन्होंने बताया कि हम इंडसफूड मैन्युफैक्चरिंग और एग्री-टेक को नवाचार, साझेदारी और तकनीकी विकास के लिए एक वैश्विक हब बनाना चाहते हैं।

माननीय वाणिज्य और उद्योग और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स और सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी राज्य मंत्री, श्री जितिन प्रसाद, ने इस कार्यक्रम का उद्घाटन करते हुए इसे खाद्य प्रसंस्करण मूल्य श्रृंखला में भारत की क्षमता का एक अद्वितीय मंच बताया। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि भारत सरकार के प्रयासों ने आधुनिक बुनियादी ढांचे, अत्याधुनिक तकनीक और प्रगतिशील कृषि प्रथाओं के संयोजन से एक मजबूत पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र बनाया है। उन्होंने कहा, “भारतीय खाद्य उद्योग कृषि और उद्योग के बीच एक पुल है, जो स्थिरता और नवाचार के लिए वैश्विक मानक स्थापित कर रहा है।”

इस साल के संस्करण में 300 से अधिक प्रदर्शकों ने भाग लिया है और यह 27,000 वर्ग मीटर के प्रदर्शनी क्षेत्र में फैला हुआ है। श्रीलंका, बांग्लादेश, मिस्र और अमेरिका जैसे देशों से डेलिगेशन और 500+ अंतर्राष्ट्रीय खरीदारों की भागीदारी के साथ, यह कार्यक्रम अत्याधुनिक खाद्य प्रौद्योगिकी, सतत पैकेजिंग और नई सामग्री को प्रदर्शित करता है। यह आयोजन भारत को खाद्य और पेय उद्योग में एक वैश्विक नेता के रूप में प्रस्तुत करता है।

TPCI के अध्यक्ष, श्री मोहित सिंघला ने वाणिज्य मंत्रालय, कृषि मंत्रालय और पशुपालन विभाग से मिल रहे मजबूत समर्थन की सराहना की, जिसने इस कार्यक्रम को अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मानकों तक पहुंचाया। TPCI के एडीजी, श्री विजय कुमार गौबा, ने प्रदर्शकों और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय प्रतिनिधियों का आभार व्यक्त किया, और उद्योग के विकास में सहयोग की महत्ता पर बल दिया।

TPCI और IEML के बीच साझेदारी लगातार फल-फूल रही है, जो भारत को F&B क्षेत्र में नवाचार और व्यापारिक अवसरों के लिए एक प्रमुख गंतव्य के रूप में स्थापित कर रही है। डॉ. राकेश कुमार के नेतृत्व में IEML ने भारत के प्रदर्शनी उद्योग में उत्कृष्टता और विकास के लिए नए मानक स्थापित किए हैं ।

Noida. Heart attacks were previously believed to affect only older individuals, but now they are affecting the younger generation, particularly between the age group of 30 and 40. Heart disease is a significant cause of death worldwide and its prevalence has risen in India over the past five years. This rise in sudden cardiac arrests and other cardiac-related ailments can be mostly attributed to our fast-paced, erratic, and unhealthy lifestyle. Doctors at Fortis Hospital, Noida highlighted this disturbing trend and narrated instances of young cardiac patients who had suffered sudden cardiac arrest, at a press briefing held at the hospital today.

Dr Ajay Kaul, Chairman, of Cardiac Sciences, Fortis Hospital, Noida said, “In recent years, India has been witnessing a troubling surge in the occurrences of heart disease among its younger population, particularly among individuals in their 30s and 40s. Traditionally, heart disease has been perceived as a condition affecting only older adults. However, recent research has been directed at a disturbing shift, with a growing number of younger Indians experiencing heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions. This paradigm change can largely be attributed to lifestyle modifications characterized by poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and escalating stress levels. Given the escalating trajectory of cardiovascular diseases among young adults, early screening for hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels in the blood) emerges as imperative. Timely detection through routine health check-ups can pave the path for enhanced management and treatment of these conditions, potentially mitigating the risk of heart disease.”

Dr Sanjeev Gera, Director & HOD, Cardiology, Fortis Hospital Noida said, “We are witnessing around 70-80 cases of cardiac-related ailments yearly. Recently, we treated a few young patients in the age group 30-40 years and all of them had symptoms of chest pain. Soon after admission to the hospital, they were thoroughly evaluated and given immediate treatment. The patients responded well to treatment and are now leading a normal life. Stress and sedentary lifestyles are key factors leading to a rise in cardiac diseases in younger population.”

Present at the media briefing were patients who had suffered sudden cardiac arrests and were treated at Fortis Hospital Noida. The first such case was a 37-year-old woman who was admitted to Fortis Noida’s emergency department with chest discomfort for one week. The medical evaluations indicated a heart attack and a coronary angiography was done which showed blocked arteries. She was treated with a new technology known as DCB (Drug-Coated Balloon) to avoid stents or metals in her body. Post the surgery, the patient recovered and was discharged in 3 days in a stable condition.

Second such case was of a 36-year-old man who was presented at the hospital with heart attack and two blocked arteries. He did not have any previous risk factors associated with smoking but had a family history of heart disease. He was treated with the help of stent and Drug Coated Balloon, which was done to avoid metal in his body. Post the surgery, he was discharged in 2 days in a stable condition.

Third case was of a 46-year-old woman who was presented with a major heart attack and underwent an angioplasty and placement of stent to main left anterior descending coronary artery and a Drug Coated Balloon to other artery which is a new technique to avoid stents in younger patients. Her heart function improved immediately after the surgery, and she was discharged in 3 days.

Fourth case was of a 39-year-old man who was presented in the hospital with complaint of chest pain and shortness of breath on exertion. He underwent a coronary angiography, which revealed coronary artery disease – a common heart condition that occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup. He underwent a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) and after 10 days, he was discharged in a stable condition.

Fifth case was of a 34-year-old man who had visited the hospital with complaints of chest pain and shortness of breath on exertion, which was gradually increasing with each passing day. He had an episode of cardiac issue and angiography was done in 2019 and again in February 2024 his coronary, which revealed Triple Vessel Disease. He was advised for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG), post which he recovered gradually.
