Kollam:
Muslim women in Kerala have been making good strides not only in the field of
education, but in the professional arena too. There is no air-conditioned cabin
or computer for Shahubanath of Anchal in Kollam district in Kerala. But she is
independent, dedicated and more than anything, proud of her profession.
Shahubanath is the first woman driver to be appointed in the state-owned Kerala
State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) at its Punalur bus station. She
performed her maiden trip to Kottarakkara last month. For Shahubanath, who hails
from a middle class family in Mukhathala, it was straight to work after her
matriculation, when she went through the light and heavy vehicles driving
licence training in a driving school managed by her husband. Her kids Hilal and
Bilal are very proud of their “mom driving the big bus” that takes people to
their destinations.
Bangalore: It would have been a comfortable life for Dr. K. S. Javid if he had chosen to stay back in England and continued with his practice as an orthopaedic surgeon. But it was his affection for his country that brought him back to Bangalore and he set up the Orthonova Hospital for Fractures, Orthopaedics and Physiotherapy. Recently, Dr. Javid performed the first Micro-Vascular Rectus Abdomis Free flap Transfer Surgery on a patient who suffered a freak auto accident. For 37 year old Madan, eleven surgeries in different hospitals for his broken leg bone ended up as a nightmare and he ultimately underwent the 12th surgery. Led by Dr. Javid and a team of nine surgeons, the surgery is the first of its kind ever performed in India and now the patient is on the road to recovery. “ This is the British style and nowhere in India has this been done before. Madan’s 11 operations were performed crudely using out-dated techniques and that worsened his condition. Now his bone has healed and he can move around now,” confirms Dr. Javid. He has worked in England in the most specialised hospitals. Dr. Javid will be setting up the Charity Foundation under Orthonova soon for poor patients.

Nagpur:
There have been great strides in the field of medicine, no doubt, but inventing
something practical that would benefit patients requires tremendous skill and
insight. And that is exactly what Mirza Nasir Baig of Nagpur proved through his
revolutionary Multi-functional Patient Care Bed. Mirza Nasir, a technician of
Arif Nursing Home and Critical Care Unit, Ramdaspeth, has designed this bed for
patients requiring critical care. According to Anand Dongre, Medical Care
Specialist of Arif Nursing Home, the Multifunctional Patient Care Bed can be
used by patients who require intense nursing care in hospitals. “The bed is of
standard size with railings and the patients have the facility to sit with legs
in the horizontal position or chair position with legs and arms rest and a side
folding dining tray is part of the features,” confirms Mirza Nasir. Apart from
being of utility to orthopaedic patients, those who are bed-ridden will find
this bed very convenient. All rights of patent and design have been reserved
with Mirza Nasir Baig, Arif Nursing Home and Critical Unit, Ramdaspeth,
Nagpur.

Nagpur:
While the advertising industry tries to capture the attention of the world with
advertisements that say “the smallest car”, “the family car,” and many
more such catchy phrases, here is Rasheed Latif who has designed models of
Vintage cars, the Classics, the Gypsies and Lancers from cardboard which makes
these cute cars the smallest cars. Rasheed’s handicap has not in any way
obstructed his achievements-his hearing and speech impairment does not stop him
from cutting to shape the dashboard, the clutch, the accelerator and even the
headlights of a vintage car with such dexterity that the little car looks so
real. After completing a course in the Indian Technical Institute, Rasheed makes
radium strips number plates for four-wheelers and two-wheelers for his bread and
butter. He is all set to drive his cardboard cars into the Guinness Book of
World Records. Rasheed’s cars are on display at “Halim House”,
Residency Road, Sadar, Nagpur-1 Ph: 548693.
