How the Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh, India, fought Corona (Case study). SEEJPH 2020, posted: 18 November 2020. DOI: 10.4119/seejph-3963 Abstract Background: Kurnool, one of the four districts in the Rayalaseema region of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, emerged as a COVID-19 hotspot by mid-April 2020. Method: The authors compiled the publicly available information on different public health measures in Kurnool district and related them to the progression of COVID-19 from March to May 2020. Results: Two surges in pandemic progression of COVID-19 were recorded in Kurnool. The ini- tial upsurge in cases was attributed to return of people from other Indian states, along with return of participants of a religious congregation in Delhi, followed by in-migration of workers and truckers from other states and other districts of Andhra Pradesh, particularly from the state of Maharashtra (one of the worst affected states in India) and Chennai (the Koyambedu wholesale market - epicenter of the largest cluster of COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu). -

Potential for Unconformity-Related Uranium Deposits in the Northern
International Symposium on Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Exploration, Mining, Production, Supply and Demand, Economics and Environmental Issues (URAM-2018) Contribution ID: 71 Type: ORAL POTENTIAL FOR UNCONFORMITY-RELATED URANIUM DEPOSITS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CUDDAPAH BASIN, TELANGANA AND ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA Tuesday, 26 June 2018 09:40 (20 minutes) INTRODUCTION The intra-cratonic, Mesoproterozoic Cuddapah Basin in the Dharwar Craton of India hosts several typesof uranium deposits in its various stratigraphic levels. Signatures of uranium mineralisation are recorded in the Gulcheru and Vempalle Formations in the lower part and along the unconformity between the basement granite and the overlying sediments of Srisailam / Banganapalle Formation in the upper part of the Cudda- pah sequence. The Srisailam and Palnad sub-basins lying in the northern part of the Cuddapah basinhosts Proterozoic unconformity related uranium mineralisation. Uranium mineralisation in these sub-basins occurs close to the unconformity between the basement complex containing basement granitoid, basic dykes of Pale- oproterozoic age and greenstone belt of Achaean age and arenaceous, argillaceous and calcareous sediments of Meso-Neoproterozoic age. Concerted sub-surface exploration over two decades has established three small to medium tonnage uranium deposits at Lambapur (~1,200tU), Peddagattu (~6,400tU) and Chitrial (~8,000tU) along the unconformity between the basement Mahabubnagar granite and overlying Srisailam Formation in Srisailam sub-basin; and one small tonnage deposit at Koppunuru (~2,300tU) close to the unconformity contact between basement granite and Banganapalle Formation of the Kurnool Group in the Palnad sub-basin. In all these deposits, uranium mineralisation is concealed and lies below the cover rocks at a depth of <5-150m. -

University, Anantapuram, Andhra Pradesh, India 4Sr. Lecturer, Government Degree College, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTRACT The increasing pressure of population on land as well as precarious nature of agriculture in the drought prone areas have been accentuating the problem of undernourishment and malnutrition. It is not uncommon that the incidence of nutritional deficiency diseases is high in poor, vulnerable and downtrodden groups of population. The low standards of Nutrition leading to cause a variety of diseases like Goitre, Rickets, Anaemia, unsafe pregnancies, Beri-Beri, Pellagra, Scurvey, Fatigue, Colitis, Avitaminosis, Diarrhoea, Underweight, Conjunctivitis, Coronary heart diseases, defects in basic metabolism, slow pulse, lowered blood pressure, Suppression of menses in women, Dry, Coarse & cold skin, Insomnia, Osteoporosis Nutritional edema, Burning sensation in the feet and hands etc. It is now known that malnutrition may aggravate the clinical course of some infectious diseases. Thus, directly (or) indirectly both malnutrition and undernutrition accounts for a considerable part of the ill health among the population.In this context, an attempt is made here to study the consumption of food and available nutrients in the scheduled caste population of kurnool district, Andhra pradesh.
