Conversations around Perimenopause & Menopause must be had- very grateful to the health minister for actioning this @utkhader

Karnataka is set to become the first state in India to bring menopause into its public health system.
Indian women reach menopause at around 46- nearly five years earlier than the global average of 51. Most go through it without ever being told what is happening to them.
Dr Jyotsna Mirlay and I met the Hon’ble Health Minister, Shri U.T. Khader @utkhader
What struck me most was his openness. Menopause is not an easy subject to raise in a government meeting, and it is rare to find someone who listens without discomfort and grasps immediately why it matters. He did not need convincing that the gap exists.
An expert committee has been constituted, to be chaired by Dr Mirlay, bringing in the Indian Menopause Society along with nutrition and psychiatry.
What is proposed:
– Public awareness on perimenopause and menopause
– Menopause screening built into Gruha Arogya, which already reaches every woman over 30
– Breast and bone health screening at taluk/district level
– Nutrition and lifestyle guidance as first-line care
– Training for ASHAs, ANMs and Medical Officers
– A dedicated midlife women’s health clinic, held monthly/weekly
The Minister has also indicated he will take this to the Central Government, so that other states can follow.
I came to this trying to understand my own body better. I met Dr Mirlay, and we found we agreed on the thing that matters most-women deserve to know what is happening to them- and that has to reach rural Karnataka, not only the cities.
Grateful to the Minister for hearing it, and for moving.
Thank you every one and @RahulGandhi sir for all the love, support, appreciation it makes all the difference ♥️and I’d say haters but what they are doing is criminal so to whoever you serve, your narrative can’t change the reality.

The person who said “Congress ki vidhwa “, “50 crore ki girlfriend”, “jersey cow”, “ didi o didi”, used the might of his administration to target and intimidate a 15 year old minor girl.
“The Narendra Modi government has responded to the students’ courage with cowardice and wanton cruelty, treating them not as inheritors of the future but as enemies of the nation.
The Modi government has not just degraded India’s education landscape but has also made a habit of acting with utter impunity, supreme self-delusion, and abject insensitivity.
If is our moral, political and constitutional duty to stand with students and safeguard their future.”
Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi Ji.
"The Modi government routinely uses violence in preference to dialogue. The pattern is clear, from farmers to activists.
The Modi government has not just degraded India’s education landscape but has also made a habit of acting with utter impunity, supreme self-delusion, and abject insensitivity. India’s students have called the Modi regime’s bluff.
It is our moral, political, and constitutional duty to stand with them and safeguard their future."
Here is an insightful column by CPP Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji, published in The Hindu, titled ‘An Education System’s Collapse, Young India’s Trauma'.
Word on the street is Modiji scared now. Doing damage control. Will set up judicial commission to give report in 3 months & Pradhan will step down pending enquiry. And Jantar Mantar will be cleared by Monday.
Mr. Modi, our students are demanding Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
Don’t insult their intelligence with this pathetic midnight video.
1. Sack Pradhan.
2. Punish those who beat students.
3. Apologise
You are the one who has harmed the future of our youth the most.
You allowed and encouraged the total capture and destruction of our education system - and protected every person responsible for it.
The students’ demands are clear:
1. Sack Dharmendra Pradhan.
2. Apologise to the students.
3. Take action against those who assaulted them.
आपने ही हमारे युवाओं के भविष्य को सबसे ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुंचाया है।
आपने न सिर्फ हमारी education system पर पूरा कब्ज़ा होने और उ��े बर्बाद होने दिया, उसे बढ़ावा भी दिया - और इसके ज़िम्मेदार हर व्यक्ति को संरक्षण दिया।
छात्रों की मांगें साफ़ हैं:
1. धर्मेंद्र प��रधान को पद से हटाएं।
2. छात्रों से माफ़ी मांगे।
3. छात्रों के साथ हिंसा करने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ कार्रवाई करें।
#WATCH | Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, "What happened with us is irrelevant. You (the media) tell me if what happened with students is right or wrong? Students have genuine demands and are asking for their rights. The Education budget is Rs 1.4 lakh crores, but you are waving off Rs 16 lakh crore loans for Adani and Ambani. Students have a genuine struggle and are asking for change. Paper leaks are happening repeatedly...There is nothing undemocratic with peaceful protest, but what is happening with students and in Parliament is undemocratic."
Yesterday students were dragged by their hair and lathi-charged on the streets of Delhi. Girls were injured. Wangchuk is in hospital. And today Atishi and Sanjay Singh want to talk about Rahul Gandhi.
Not about Dharmendra Pradhan, who still has his job. Not about Amit Shah. Not about the student who studied for two years for an exam that was sold before they sat for it. About Rahul Gandhi.
He was demanding accountability on paper leaks when there was no crowd to be seen with. He backed these students knowing full well their organisers have never had a good word for him- because that is what you do when the demand is right. That is what you do when you don’t have an ego.
And whatever else you say about him Atishi- NOBODY can buy him. He can never be compromised. Not this government, not its agencies, not its money. That is more than most in politics can say.
Save your outrage for the people who beat the students. Or don’t- we all know who benefits.
जो गोदी मीडिया एक महीने से चल रहे CJP प्रोटेस्ट को एक मिनट भी TV चैनल पर नहीं चला रही थी, अब राहुल गांधी के एक घंटे के प्रोटेस्ट को लाइव चला रही है?
इसका मतलब साफ़ है: राहुल गांधी को TV पर दिखाने का निर्देश बीजेपी से आया है।
गोदी मीडिया ने बीजेपी-कांग्रेस की मिलीभगत का राज़ खोल ही दिया!
