Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 17: Dr. Leena Jain, an accomplished Plastic, Reconstructive Microsurgeon and Hand Surgeon, was invited as esteemed faculty at WIROC 2025, one of the most prestigious orthopedic and trauma conferences in the country. With over ten years of focused experience in reconstructive microsurgery and complex wound management, Dr. Jain conducted a highly engaging hands-on workshop on advanced VAC (Vacuum-Assisted Closure) dressing techniques, drawing participation from surgeons and residents eager to refine their wound care skills.

Widely recognized as a leading Plastic surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Leena Jain has consistently contributed to the advancement of reconstructive surgery through both clinical excellence and academic involvement. Her invitation to serve as faculty at WIROC 2025 reflects her growing reputation in managing complex trauma wounds, post-surgical defects, compound fractures, burns, and challenging soft tissue injuries that require meticulous reconstruction and innovative wound healing strategies.

During the session, Dr. Jain demonstrated the scientific principles and practical application of VAC therapy, a revolutionary negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system that accelerates healing in acute and chronic wounds. The workshop focused on real-world case scenarios involving compound fractures, exposed tendons, bone gaps, post-infection wounds, and flap surgeries. Participants were guided through the step-by-step technique of applying VAC dressings, understanding pressure settings, managing exudate control, and preventing infection—critical components in optimizing surgical outcomes.

“VAC dressing has transformed the way we approach complex wound management,” said Dr. Leena Jain during the session. “In cases of orthopedic trauma, tumor resections, and severe soft tissue injuries, timely and appropriate application of negative pressure therapy can significantly improve healing rates, reduce hospital stay, and prepare the wound bed for definitive reconstruction such as skin grafting or flap cover.”

Dr. Leena’s expertise in reconstructive microsurgery has been shaped by rigorous training and international exposure. After completing her M.S. in General Surgery and MCh in Plastic Surgery, she pursued a Fellowship in Microsurgery and Perforator Flaps at Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea, followed by an AO Fellowship in Microsurgery and Faciomaxillary Trauma at Ludwigs’ Maximillians University, Munich, Germany. This global training has enabled her to bring cutting-edge reconstructive techniques to her practice in Mumbai.

Her clinical expertise spans reconstructive microsurgery for tumors, trauma, burns, and congenital conditions; hand surgeries for tendon, nerve and vessel injuries; replantation and revascularization procedures for amputations and toe transfer surgeries; cancer reconstruction surgery; orthopaedic trauma reconstruction including flap coverage for compound fractures; breast reconstruction post-mastectomy; facial nerve paralysis correction; gender reassignment surgery; diabetic foot reconstruction and corrective procedures for burns deformities and complex functional impairments.

At WIROC 2025, attendees appreciated the clarity and precision of her teaching methodology. By integrating evidence-based protocols with practical surgical insights, Dr. Jain emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration between plastic surgeons and orthopedic surgeons in trauma care. Her session highlighted how early involvement of a reconstructive microsurgeon can significantly enhance limb salvage rates and functional recovery.

“Reconstruction is not just about closing a wound; it is about restoring function, preserving dignity, and enabling patients to return to their profession and daily life as seamlessly as possible,” Dr. Jain shared. “Every wound tells a story, and our responsibility as surgeons is to ensure that healing is both anatomical and meaningful.”

Dr. Leena Jain practices at Plastikos Clinic, where she offers comprehensive plastic and reconstructive surgical solutions with a patient-first philosophy. Her approach is rooted in long-term outcomes, carefully considering each patient’s occupation, lifestyle, and functional goals before planning surgery. This personalized surgical planning ensures faster rehabilitation, minimal complications, and optimal aesthetic and functional results.

Her participation as faculty at WIROC 2025 underscores her commitment not only to surgical excellence but also to continuous medical education and skill-sharing within the surgical community. By training fellow surgeons in advanced wound management and microsurgical principles, Dr. Jain continues to elevate standards of reconstructive care in India.

New Delhi [India], March 17: With the aim of raising awareness about the rights, dignity and social security of workers in the unorganised sector, a workers’ conference was organised on 14 March 2026 at Lalmati Resort in Bishnupur, Bankura district, under the initiative of the Bharatiya Railway Mall Godam Shramik Union (BRMGSU). The conference witnessed the participation of a large number of workers from different districts.

A significant number of Mallgodam (Goods Shed) workers from railway goods sheds across the country attended the conference. Workers from several other unorganised sectors were also present, including stone sculpture artists, pottery artisans, masons, bidi workers, private tutors, marginal farmers and other members of the working community. Their presence reflected a broader unity among unorganised labour.

The conference was attended by Priyank Kanoongo, Hon’ble Member of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), who was present as the Chief Guest. Among those present were Dr. Parimal Kanti Mondal, National President, BRMGSU; Indu Sekhar Chakraborty, General Secretary, BRMGSU; Partha Pratim Ghosh, National Office In-Charge; Sanjay Mitra, National Co-Convener; Sambik Niyogi, Member of the Central Committee; Haradhan Kaibarta, Member of the Central Committee; and Jyoti Prakash Mondal, Member of the Central Committee, along with several other key officials of the organisation.

The programme began with a traditional Dhamsha–Madal reception to welcome the Chief Guest. This was followed by a welcome address delivered by Haradhan Kaibarta, who spoke about the objectives of the organisation, its ongoing initiatives and the importance of organising workers from the unorganised sector.

In his address, Priyank Kanoongo emphasised the need to ensure human rights, social security and dignified working conditions for workers in the unorganised sector. He said that collective efforts are essential to safeguard the rights and social protection of labourers.

Later, Dr. Parimal Kanti Mondal, President of BRMGSU, stated:

“We have completed a national data survey covering Mallgodam workers working in nearly 200 goods sheds across India, and the data has already been submitted to the Government of India. We hope that from April onwards the government will begin the administrative preparations necessary to identify these unorganised workers. This will facilitate the implementation of identity cards, joining letters, fixed wages and other social security benefits for these workers.”

Other labour leaders present at the conference also spoke about the challenges faced by workers, their rights and the future roadmap of the organisation.

The conference concluded with a collective call to strengthen unity among workers and to enhance awareness about the rights and social security of unorganised labour across the country.

Kaza [India], March 16: Pie Matrix is now introducing Himachal Pradesh’s first high-altitude public dome observatory in the spectacular Spiti Valley. Nestled amidst the pristine, naturally dark skies of the Himalayan cold desert, this one-of-its kind facility is transforming the way travellers are experiencing the universe and bridging the gap between simply looking at the stars to truly exploring them.

Built at one of India’s most breathtaking dark-sky locations, the Pie Matrix Dome observatory offers visitors access to a fully equipped, rotating dome observatory structure. Usually available for reputed institutions and observatories, now, for the first time in the region, everyday travellers, students, photographers, and astronomy enthusiasts can enjoy a professional-grade stargazing experience at high altitude through the stunning dome.

A New Chapter

Since time immemorial, Spiti Valley has been celebrated for its raw landscapes, ancient monasteries, dramatic mountain passes, and rugged beauty. With this new initiative, the region is now stepping confidently into a new identity as India’s emerging astro-tourism hub.

Due to its minimal light pollution, high altitude, and exceptionally clear atmospheric conditions, Spiti offers some of the finest night-sky visibility in the country, and the Pie Matrix Dome Observatory capitalizes on these natural advantages, which enables visitors to witness extraordinary celestial details live.

Rather than passive sightseeing, Pie Matrix offers an immersive cosmic exploration, so any night in Spiti can turn into an unforgettable journey through the universe.

Making Space Accessible to All

Conventionally, dome observatories have been limited to academic research institutions, but Pie Matrix is changing that narrative by opening the doors of advanced astronomical observation to the public. Families on vacation with kids, travellers, adventure seekers, school groups, and even local residents can now add a guided night-sky session to their Spiti itinerary. High-powered telescopes, operated by trained astronomy experts, ensure that visitors don’t just see celestial objects; they understand the science and stories behind them.

A spokesperson from the Pie Matrix “Our vision is simple yet ambitious- to bring space closer to everyone. The night sky belongs to all of us, and through this observatory, we are giving people the chance to look through a professional telescope and experience the universe in a way that feels personal, inspiring, and memorable.”

Backing the Local Economy and Promoting Sustainable Tourism

Beyond its scientific and experiential appeal, the observatory has also immense capability to generate profound economic impact for the region. Astro-tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments globally, and Spiti’s natural conditions make it a brilliant destination.

A Vision Beyond Tourism

Along with immersive travel experiences, the long-term mission of the observatory extends far beyond tourism. The Pie Matrix Dome Observatory is envisioned as:

• A platform for school astronomy workshops
• A venue for astrophotography retreats
• A host location for night-sky festivals
• A future hub for dark-sky conservation awareness

With the skyrocketing cesspool of urban light pollution across Indian cities, many people have never witnessed a truly dark, unfiltered night sky. To provide an escapade from this issue, the high-altitude observatory provides rare access to that disappearing experience, while also encouraging awareness around preserving natural night environments.

India’s Window to the Cosmos

As India continues to make remarkable strides in space exploration and satellite missions, initiatives like this bridge scientific progress with public engagement. The Pie Matrix Observatory connects citizens emotionally with the cosmos, transforming curiosity into inspiration. In the silence of Spiti Valley, visitors are reminded of their place in a vast and awe-inspiring universe. Long known for its spiritual depth and meditative quiet, Spiti now offers something equally profound, i.e., a direct connection to the cosmos, powered by Pie Matrix.
