The Sunday Guardian

The NewsX We Women Want Conclave and Shakti Awards 2025 became a powerful stage for stories of resilience, leadership, and identity, as four exceptional women — IAS officer Puja Elangbam, wildlife conservationist Dr. Purnima Devi Barman, filmmaker Rima Das, and Lt. Gen. Dr. Sadhana Senanayake — shared journeys that broke barriers and redefined representation.
Moderated by Diksha Chopra, the Northeast panel spotlighted the region's strength and self-determination. Puja Elangbam, Deputy Commissioner of Bishnupur, spoke of leading rehabilitation for over 10,000 displaced persons in Manipur, empowering women-led microenterprises in the wake of communal violence. Dr. Purnima Devi Barman, the "Hargila Baideu," detailed her grassroots movement to save the endangered greater adjutant stork, mobilising over 20,000 Assamese women through her Hargila Army. National

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS
Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
