Prof Md Imtaiyaz Hassan of Jamia Millia Islamia has received a research grant of Rs 8.05 crore from the Department of Biotechnology for a major study on cancer cachexia among Indian patients. Prof Md Imtaiyaz Hassan will lead the project focusing on head and neck cancer, where the condition affects a large share of patients.
Cancer cachexia causes severe weight loss, muscle wasting, and fatigue. It affects nearly 70 percent of patients with head and neck cancer and reduces quality of life. Prof Md Imtaiyaz Hassan and his team aim to examine the causes of this condition and improve methods for early detection and management.
The study will use advanced scientific methods such as transcriptomics, metabolomics, microbiome analysis, DNA repair studies, and neurobehavioural assessment. These approaches will help identify biological markers and support the development of targeted treatments.
Prof Md Imtaiyaz Hassan said the project addresses a major gap in understanding cancer related complications in India. He stated that the research will focus on improving patient outcomes through precise medical approaches.
The team will validate findings through laboratory studies involving cell lines, animal models, and patient derived samples. This step aims to ensure practical use of results in clinical settings.
The project includes collaboration with leading institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, Dr B Borooah Cancer Institute, University of Mysore, HCG Cancer Hospital, and the Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology.
The university said the grant strengthens its position in biomedical research. The work led by Prof Md Imtaiyaz Hassan is expected to contribute to better understanding and treatment of cancer related weight loss in India.

Nishat & Misba turn Panache into one of Mysuru’s most loved fashion exhibitions…
Nishat Mohsin and Misba Umrean, Co-founders of the fashion exhibition platform ‘Panache’, have been curating memorable fashion experiences in Mysuru for several years.
What began as a modest initiative has grown into one of the city’s most-loved fashion exhibitions, offering a thoughtfully curated experience while bringing designers and fashion enthusiasts under one roof.
Alongside its successful editions in Mysuru, ‘Panache’ has also travelled to Bengaluru and Coorg in collaboration with several high-end brands.
While successfully steering ‘Panache’, the duo also balances their entrepreneurial journey with family life and personal passions.
Nishat, born in Bengaluru & raised in Mysuru, is married to a businessman and is a mother of two who enjoys designing spaces and nurturing plants.
Misba, born in Mysuru and now based in Bengaluru, is a B.Com graduate, married to a Bengaluru-based professional and a mother of three who enjoys travel, adventure sports and cooking.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, the sisters open up about their journey, inspiration and vision behind ‘Panache’: “Fashion is not just about clothing, it’s about creativity, craftsmanship and giving designers a platform to shine.” —Ed
Star of Mysore (SOM): How did the fashion extravaganza Panache begin? And what inspired you both to venture into fashion exhibition curation?
Nishat Mohsin and Misba Umrean: ‘Panache’ was envisioned by Nishat in 2008 as an intimate platform connecting designers with fashion enthusiasts. When Misba joined in 2009, the exhibition gained new momentum and gradually evolved into a celebrated fashion destination.
Coming from business-oriented families, we always aspired to create something of our own. Our journey into exhibition curation is driven by a deep appreciation for fashion not just as clothing, but for the creativity and craftsmanship behind it. Through ‘Panache’, we’ve had the joy of bringing ideas to life while giving designers a platform to shine.
OM: Mysuru is known for its legacy of royalty and rich cultural identity. Do you think Mysureans have a unique fashion sense? And when it comes to style, what defines them more, silk sarees or contemporary fashion trends?
Nishat and Misba: Absolutely. Mysureans have a refined and graceful sense of style. Silk sarees hold a special place; they’re timeless, elegant and deeply rooted in tradition. At the same time, they embrace contemporary styles and modern silhouettes with equal grace. What makes their style truly distinctive is this seamless blend of heritage and modernity, marked by elegance and understated sophistication.
SOM: In your opinion, how has the representation of women in fashion events evolved over the years?
Nishat and Misba: The evolution has been remarkable. While women were once seen mainly as participants or models, today they lead as designers, entrepreneurs and key decision-makers, shaping the industry.
Fashion platforms have become powerful spaces for women to express their creativity and vision through their brands, and it’s inspiring to witness and contribute to this evolution.
SOM: How has the role of social media and digital platforms changed how fashion exhibitions are promoted and experienced?
Nishat and Misba: Social media have introduced a new dimension to fashion exhibitions. Promotions that once relied on word of mouth now reach audiences instantly. Digital platforms create anticipation even before the event begins, allowing us to connect with our audience early and extend the energy of the exhibition beyond its closing day.
SOM: What has been your most memorable exhibition moment? Have you encountered a last-minute crisis? How do you navigate them?
Nishat and Misba: Some of the most memorable moments are often the simplest. Watching a designer sell out, or a visitor finding exactly what they were looking for, is priceless.
Naturally, live events come with their share of challenges, from logistical hurdles to unexpected technical setbacks. Over the years, there have been many last-minute surprises and we address them with composure, teamwork & mutual trust.
Nishat Mohsin (sitting) with her younger sister Misba Umrean
SOM: How do you ensure smooth collaboration among teams and what defines the success of an exhibition for you?
Nishat and Misba: Effective collaboration begins with clear communication and mutual respect. We involve designers, production, and marketing teams from the very beginning. So, everyone feels aligned and valued.
For us, the success of an exhibition goes beyond numbers. It lies in the connections created when designers feel supported, visitors leave inspired and the continued trust people place in ‘Panache’ year after year.
SOM: How do you stay calm and manage stress when the event date is approaching?
Nishat and Misba: As the event date approaches, there is always a certain rush, but over the years with ‘Panache’, we have learnt that staying calm is a conscious choice. Careful planning helps minimise last-minute stress. A quiet prayer, deep breaths and trusting our team help us stay grounded and we believe that positive energy always reflects in the event.
SOM: What advice would you give someone who wants to break into fashion or event management?
Nishat and Misba: Fashion and event management may appear glamorous, but they require discipline, patience and emotional intelligence. Start small, build genuine relationships and stay consistent, as reputation is paramount. Above all, understand people, fashion is not just about clothing, but about emotions and confidence.
SOM: What message would you like to share with women this Women’s Day?
Nishat and Misba: To every woman, we would say that strength is not defined by others; it lies in your ambition and compassion. Celebrate your achievements without guilt, dream beyond your fears and never diminish yourself to make others comfortable. Your journey simply needs to be your own.

In an era where escalating medical explosive costs are making healthcare inaccessible to millions, Khan Sir has given India a reason to take pride. Patna is set to experience a significant enhancement in healthcare access with the launch of the hospital for those who can’t afford the highend treatments and diagnosis of the diseases.
The hospital, established by Faizal Khan—founder of the world’s largest and most affordable online education platform—known as Khan Sir, provides low-cost diagnostic and treatment services for the poor. Khan Sir’s initiative is inspired by his mother’s vision of making healthcare affordable and removing financial barriers to medical care.
Speaking to the media, Khan Sir said. “I have started this initiative for the ease of the residents of my nation. It was my mother’s dream to build a hospital that gives affordable medical treatments to everyone. Building upon that, I am trying to create a situation where women of my country, whom I consider family, don’t have to mortgage their jewellery for any medical treatment. My further motive is not to earn out of this initiative; I would rather curb the brokerage that is involved in the medical facilities of Bharat.”
The hospital is located on Ashok Rajpath in Patna, Bihar, and has been designed to serve low income families, daily wage earners, senior citizens, and economically underprivileged patients who struggle with high healthcare costs. Khan Sir has stated on multiple occasions that the facility’s mission is to provide quality care at costs much lower than even government hospitals.
Khan Sir Hospital, Patna (Bihar)
From the start, the hospital has focused on keeping diagnostic and treatment costs extremely affordable. For example, a blood test is charged at only Rs 7, while an ECG (electrocardiogram) costs Rs 25 figures that have caught public attention for being significantly lower than typical lab charges. Initial pricing also includes minimal fees for X rays and kidney tests designed to ensure that essential diagnostics are accessible to all.
According to the hospital’s official information, even more services are priced affordably: Digital X rays at Rs 30, CT scans from Rs 150, ultrasound for Rs 100, blood tests around Rs 50, and consultations at just Rs 20. These rates make basic medical care much less burdensome for patients who previously had to choose between health and household expenses.
खान सर का हॉस्पिटल इस दिन से होगा चालू, 35 रु में X-Ray से लेकर काफी सस्ता ईलाज! पटना में कुल 5 बड़े Ai जेनरेटेड हॉस्पिटल खोलेंगे! Khan Sir Hospital Patna pic.twitter.com/TTxoq3Jy7R
— छपरा जिला 🇮🇳 (@ChapraZila) January 4, 2026
Beyond basic diagnostics, Khan Sir Hospital offers a 24/7 blood bank and dialysis centre, with trained nephrology teams and modern equipment. A dedicated emergency department and general OPD services ensure continuous care for various health needs. The hospital also runs community health programmes and patient education initiatives to encourage preventive care.
In line with his charitable mission, Khan Sir plans to expand services across Bihar by establishing dialysis centres and blood banks in other districts with advanced machines imported from Germany and Japan aiming to provide affordable care where it is most critical.
The hospital’s community outreach has included blood donation drives, where more than 150 units were collected, helping save lives in emergencies. Such efforts demonstrate the institution’s commitment to community health, not just commerce.
The initiative has inspired strong emotional support from followers. In one notable example, a young fan from Uttar Pradesh drew attention by creating and gifting paintings made with her own blood to Khan Sir in Patna, a symbolic tribute to his work in healthcare and education.
With this combination of ultra-low fees, modern treatment facilities, community outreach programmes, and a mission rooted in service, Khan Sir Hospital is positioning itself as a lifeline for affordable healthcare in Bihar. It represents a growing model of healthcare that prioritises accessibility and compassion at its core.

In a period marked by suspicion and sharp communal divides, a quiet act of integrity by a Muslim scrap dealer in Faridabad has drawn attention for its moral clarity.
Haji Akhtar Khan, a kabadi trader in Ballabhgarh, returned gold jewellery worth around Rs 15 lakh to its Hindu owner nearly four months after unknowingly buying it as scrap. The jewellery, weighing close to 100 grams, had been accidentally mixed with household waste during a Diwali clean up and sold along with other discarded items.
The ornaments belonged to Ashok Sharma, a resident of Ballabhgarh. Weeks after selling the scrap, the Sharma family realised that a small packet containing gold jewellery was missing. The loss caused distress, since the ornaments represented years of savings and family memory. By then, the scrap had already passed into the informal recycling chain.
Khan had purchased the scrap in bulk, a routine practice in the trade. Months later, while sorting stored material in his warehouse, he noticed a packet hidden among old items. On opening it, he discovered gold jewellery. The find came at a time when Muslims in several regions face frequent suspicion in public life and trade.
Instead of treating the discovery as an unexpected gain, Khan chose a different path. When Sharma later approached him with inquiries, Khan admitted finding the jewellery and promised to return it without delay.
To maintain transparency, the handover took place at the office of ACP Ballabhgarh Jitesh Malhotra, in the presence of police officials. The moment carried visible emotion for the Sharma family, who received back their belongings intact. Police officers present described the act as rare and worthy of recognition.
Those familiar with Khan describe him as a practising Muslim who has performed Hajj and regards honesty as central to faith and livelihood. In Islamic teaching, amanah or trust holds deep importance, especially in trade and public dealings. Khan reportedly said the discovery felt like a trust placed upon him and returning it remained a duty before God.
The episode unfolded against a broader backdrop of heightened communal tension, economic boycotts, and stereotyping directed at Muslims in public discourse. In such an environment, everyday acts often receive communal labels. Khan’s decision challenged such narratives through conduct rather than argument.
Faridabad, part of the National Capital Region, mirrors many of north India’s social complexities. It hosts factories, migrant labour, and small traders from diverse communities. In this setting, an ordinary scrap transaction turned into a moment of shared trust between neighbours of different faiths.
For Ashok Sharma and Haji Akhtar Khan, the exchange rested on honesty rather than identity. The story has since circulated locally as an example of lived communal harmony. It offered a reminder that ethical choices remain possible even amid strained social conditions.
What began as a Diwali mistake ended with restored faith in human conscience. The return of the jewellery did more than correct a loss. It affirmed dignity, trust, and coexistence through a simple decision guided by principle.

Watrina Village (Bandipora District, North Kashmir), JAMMU & KASHMIR :
Mumtaza Begum, Sheep farm owner
Mumtaza Begum, a 33-year-old homemaker from Watrina village in Bandipora district, North Kashmir, has changed her life through sheep farming. Despite limited resources, social challenges, and the compulsion to drop out of college early, Mumtaza refused to give up and is today recognised as a successful female entrepreneur in the area.
Mumtaza’s story is one of struggle and the spirit of fighting out adversity. Financial difficulties forced her to drop out of college, but she never gave up on her dreams. Her matrimonial family had 10 to 15 sheep, which were reared using traditional methods. This sparked the idea of pursuing sheep farming on a larger scale.
Mumtaza’s dream wasn’t limited to mere subsistence; she wanted to turn it into a systematic and successful business.
With this thought in mind, she approached the Animal Husbandry Department in Bandipora. With the department’s guidance, she applied under the state-sponsored subsidy scheme, “Mini Sheep Farm.” In February 2019, she was selected and allotted a unit of 50 sheep.
Sheep rearing requires hard work and patience. Besides, for Mumtaza, the lack of experience was also a major challenge. But Mumtaza didn’t give up. Through persistent hard work, a passion for learning, and a strong will, she gradually expanded her business. Over time, her experience grew, and her farm expanded.
Mumtaza credits her family, especially her husband, for her success. She says that her husband stood by her every step of the way. “He is always there for me, offering emotional support and actual help with work,” she says.
Mumtaza believes that family support is crucial for women entrepreneurs, especially when they have to juggle both home and work responsibilities.
Mumtaza also praises the officials of the Animal Husbandry Department for her success. Proper guidance, technical advice, and knowledge of government schemes helped her overcome many challenges. With the department’s support, she could manage her farm efficiently and increase production.
Today, Mumtaza Begum owns a successful farm with over 210 sheep. She earns a net income of over 5 lakh rupees annually. Most of her sheep are sold during Eid al-Adha, providing her with a substantial income. This work has not only improved her financial situation but also boosted her confidence and self-worth.
Mumtaza no longer considers herself merely a sheep herder; She wants to inspire other women to opt for entrepreneurship.
She shares her experiences with women and encourages them to move forward. She says that if women utilise the opportunities available to them, they can certainly improve their social and economic status.
Mumtaza says that the true rewards of hard work come when one proves oneself. For her, sheep farming is not just a means of earning money, but a path to self-reliance and respect.
This woman from Bandipora has proven that with the right mindset, hard work, and support, any dream can become a reality.

Kirugavalu Village (Malvadi Taluk, Mandya District), KARNATAKA :
Passionate efforts
Farmer Syed Ghani Khan has brought back the use of traditional varieties even as farmers are lured into buying unsustainable varieties.
Some farmers have been the victims of forceful marketing and have opted for commercial varieties of rice and other crops promoted by seed firms.
In effect, they have switched from native varieties — which suit the soil and climatic conditions — to the ones that consume more water and fertilisers, and are easy prey for insects and pests. But it does not take farmers long to realise that the yield comes down after a few years, leaving the soil toxic.
Remedy lies in returning to traditional grains. But wooing farmers away from commercially promoted seeds, fertilisers and insecticides is a task.
Syed Ghani Khan, a farmer from Kirugavalu, a village in Mandya district, has been pursuing that task as a lifetime passion.
He has set up a museum in his village home by setting apart two rooms for the purpose.
He has conserved over 700 varieties across 15 and more acres of land. These crops are harvested carefully, and the panicles laden with grain are bunched, marked with names and numbers, and arranged systematically on the walls of the two-room museum.
Some of them are even stored in bottles to be given away to farmers around the village to experiment with the heritage crops they lost in the race to boost harvest with new varieties.
Khan is a graduate from Mysore University with a degree in Archaeology and Museology. After completing his studies in Mysuru, Khan joined his father in tending to his farm.
He was pained at the sight of farmers getting addicted to industrial products and giving up the traditional varieties and practices.
He took up the task of preserving traditional seeds in packets and supplying them to those who were converts to his cause. Yet, he was not satisfied with what he did. He thought he needed more systematic efforts to create awareness about the usefulness of the old varieties and the supply of seeds.
According to Khan, continuous onslaught of publicity for industrial farm products has misled farmers into switching over to newer seeds — be it cereals, lentils, vegetables or fruits. This has led to enmasse shift to high-yielding varieties like MTU-1001, IR-64, Jaya etc.
Khan says traditional varieties hold the key to sustainable farming that is less expensive, does not erode the fertility of the soil. “In our pursuit of bumper harvest, we have damaged the soil and have made paddy an aquatic crop, which it is not,” he laments.
He began collecting varieties like Rajmudi, Ghamgadale, Doddibatta, Parimala Sanna, Basmati, Ratnachudi, Gandhasale, Mysore Mallige, Jeerige Sanna, Burma Black, Rasakdam, Thai Jasmine etc in earnest. Several of these varieties harbour medicinal properties while others emit aroma while being cooked.
According to Khan, varieties such as Doddibatta, Ghamgadale and Biddi Doddi can be grown in farms that receive just one or two spells of shower.
Ratnachudi, HMT, NMS-II are high-yielding traditional varieties while Jeerige Sanna, Rasakdam, Gandha Sale, Parimala Sanna and Mugadh Sugandh turn aromatic while being cooked.
He says most of the seeds of paddy varieties collected by him have a shelf life of 18 months. In contrast to the practice of preserving seeds in freezers, he applied on-field conservation methods where no synthetic chemicals were used.
Propagator
Farmers from all over South India have been approaching him for seeds of the native varieties.
Shiv Prasad, who has a farm in the outskirts of Hyderabad, took seeds of nearly 200 varieties from him. He has since been a promoter of the cause in his region.
Khan maintains a meticulous record of all those who have procured seeds from him. During the last two decades, nearly 10,000 farmers have accessed supplies from him.
Krishna, a farmer from a village in Maddur taluk, is a regular visitor to his farms. Rachanna, from Hosamalangi village in T Narsipura taluk, successfully grows around 25 varieties in his farm. He had visited him a decade ago.
A corner of his museum displays several medals, certificates and awards. He was conferred with Krishi Pandit Prashasti by the Govt of Karnataka (2008). National Genome Seed-saver Recognition Award was conferred on him a year later by Plant Protection Variety Forum. Govt of Karnataka chose him for ‘Biodiversity Award’ in 2010, while Directorate of Rice Research in Hyderabad presented him ‘Rice Innovative Farmer Award’ for the year 2011-12.
Ghani Khan says one should not be surprised to find one variety being replaced by another after every 40 km as India is home to thousands of varieties of rice.
He says several of them carry medicinal properties.
He says while Karigajivili and Ambe Mohur from Karnataka are said to be good for lactating mothers, Navara of Kerala is good for those who have joint pain. While Mappillai Samba from Tamil Nadu improves virility, Mehdi is held to be good for healing of bone fracture. Khaima provides relief for those suffering from piles.
Mangoes, too
Ghani Khan has taken up the conservation of native varieties of mango, too. He has registered himself with the National Bureau for Plant Genetics, New Delhi.
He has trees that have been there in the family farm for the last six to seven generations. These trees yield native varieties like mosambi ka aam (tastes like sweet lime); seb ka aam (tastes like apple); pheeka aam (bland mango) for those with diabetes; kaale malghoba, bada gola; mangamari; manji bi pasand and mittmia pasand.
His family has been supportive of his efforts and to this day help him in maintaining their farms and marketing the produce.
Womenfolk of his family use paddy in making decorative art.
