Chambal River Dam

The Chambal River, a major tributary of the Yamuna River in India, has several dams and reservoirs constructed along its course for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. The most prominent dams on the Chambal River are part of the Chambal Valley Development Project, which was undertaken by the Indian states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. These include:

1. Gandhisagar Dam
- Location: Madhya Pradesh (near Mandsaur)
- Purpose: This is the first dam built on the Chambal River, primarily for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation.
- Reservoir: Gandhisagar Lake
- Height: 62.17 meters
- Capacity: Around 7.32 billion cubic meters.
2. Rana Pratap Sagar Dam
- Location: Rajasthan (near Rawatbhata)
- Purpose: This dam generates hydroelectricity and provides irrigation facilities.
- Reservoir: Rana Pratap Sagar Lake
- Height: 54 meters
- Capacity: About 2.9 billion cubic meters. Moreover, it is the biggest dam in the Rajasthan.
3. Jawahar Sagar Dam
- Location: Rajasthan (near Kota)
- Purpose: Hydroelectric power generation and irrigation.
- Height: 45 meters
- Capacity: 0.67 billion cubic meters.
4. Kota Barrage
- Location: Kota, Rajasthan
- Purpose: The Kota Barrage primarily facilitates irrigation by diverting water to canals but does not have a hydroelectric component like the other dams upstream. Instead of the hydroelectric project, a Super Thermal Power Plant is running on the bank of the Chambal River near the Kota Barrage.

Kota Junction will soon be a stoppage of the Vande Bharat train

Kota Junction will soon be a stoppage for the Vande Bharat train as the Vande Bharat from Udaipur to Agra will make a stop here. From September 1, the Udaipur-Jaipur-Udaipur Vande Bharat train will now come to Jaipur only three days a week. The reason is that now it will be operated between Udaipur and Agra Fort for the remaining three days. The reason for reducing days is said to be less passenger load between Udaipur and Jaipur.

Actually, in September last year, Railways gifted the third Vande Bharat train to Rajasthan between Udaipur and Jaipur, but the passenger load in it was less. Hence, Vande Bharat will run only three days on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from the 1st of September. Now it is operating six days a week between Jaipur and Udaipur.

When will Vande Bharat stop at Kota Junction?

Vande Bharat will start operating from the 1st of September between Udaipur and Agra Fort. Vande Bharat will be operated from Udaipur to Agra Fort via Rana Pratapnagar, Mavli Junction, Chanderiya, Kota Junction, Sawai Madhopur, Gangapur City, Bayana for three days on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

According to the officials, the route and timetable of this train have been decided. Soon the fare list will also be released and ticket booking will also be started. The special thing is that it will operate from different numbers on both routes. According to the proposed timetable, this train will depart from Udaipur at 5:45 am and reach Agra at 2:30 pm. After stopping at Agra for half an hour, it will leave at 3 pm and reach Udaipur at 11:45 pm. The stoppage time of Vande Bharat at Kota junction is still not known. Approximately it will be around 10 Am towards Agra and in between 7-8 Pm towards Udaipur.

Proposed Kota – Delhi Vande Bharat train

Hormone tests can be done now at Kota.
Hormone tests can be done now in the super speciality hospital of Kota Medical College. For this, an endocrinology department was opened in the hospital. This will provide patients with facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of serious and complex hormone-related diseases. Assistant Professor Dr Nitesh Kumar Boudh has been appointed as the head of the Endocrinology Department.

Principal Dr Sangeeta Saxena announced the launch of a facility capable of testing over 20 hormones. Patients will no longer need to travel to higher medical institutions in Jaipur and Delhi for the treatment of hormone-related diseases.

Diseases Related to Hormones

In-charge Dr Bauddha said that the department deals with serious and rare diseases like Acromegaly, Sheehan Syndrome, Cushing Syndrome, Gonadal Dysgenesis, Hypogonadism, Septo-Optic Dysplasia, Multiple Pituitary Hormone Deficiency, Auto Immune Polyglodumer Syndrome, Hyper and Hypo Parathyroidism and Renal Tubular Acidosis. Diagnosis and treatment were done. OPD of the Endocrinology Department will operate in room number 6 every Tuesday and Thursday.

These hormone tests will be done

Hormone tests that will be done in the super speciality hospital at Kota are Serum cortisol, ACETH, PTH, anti-TPO antibody, thyroglobulin, insulin, C-peptide, LH, FSH, testosterone, estrogen, DHEAS, prolactin, anti-TTG antibody, growth hormone and IGF-1.

Female hormone tests

Female hormone tests are medical tests used to evaluate the levels of various hormones in a woman’s body. These tests are typically ordered by healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, menopause, and certain reproductive disorders. They are often performed at different times of the menstrual cycle to assess hormonal fluctuations.

Some common hormones tested in women include:
1. Estrogen: Estrogen is a group of hormones responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics.
2. Progesterone: Progesterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It helps prepare the uterus for implantation and maintains pregnancy.
3. Testosterone: Though often associated with males, women also produce testosterone, albeit in smaller amounts. Testosterone plays a role in libido, muscle mass, bone density, and overall well-being.
4. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): FSH is produced by the pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles during the menstrual cycle. Its levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and are crucial for fertility.
5. Luteinizing hormone (LH): LH is also produced by the pituitary gland. It works with FSH to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
6. Prolactin: Prolactin is primarily associated with lactation and milk production. Abnormal levels may indicate issues such as pituitary disorders or certain medications.
7. Thyroid hormones: Thyroid hormones, including TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), T3 (triiodothyronine), and T4 (thyroxine), play a crucial role in metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Thyroid disorders can affect menstrual regularity and fertility.
Male Hormone Tests

Male hormone tests are medical tests used to assess the levels of various hormones in a man’s body. These tests are typically ordered by healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor conditions related to hormonal imbalances. These imbalances are hypogonadism (low testosterone), infertility, and certain reproductive disorders.

Some common hormones tested in men include:
1. Testosterone: Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics. It plays a crucial role in libido, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and overall well-being.
2. Luteinizing hormone (LH): LH is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the production of testosterone by the testes. Furthermore, high or low levels of LH can indicate issues with testosterone production or the function of the pituitary gland.
3. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): FSH is also produced by the pituitary gland. It works alongside LH to regulate the production of sperm in the testes.
4. Prolactin: While primarily associated with lactation in women, prolactin is also present in men. Moreover, abnormal levels of prolactin can affect testosterone production and fertility.
5. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): DHT is a derivative of testosterone. It is responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as facial hair growth and the deepening of the voice.
6. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG): SHBG is a protein that binds to testosterone and regulates its availability in the bloodstream. Moreover, changes in SHBG levels can affect testosterone bioavailability.
7. Estradiol: Although estradiol is typically present in much lower levels in men than in women. Despite that estradiol (a form of estrogen) also plays a role in male reproductive health. Furthermore, abnormal levels can impact libido and fertility.
Why tests are performed

Hormone tests are performed for various reasons, primarily to assess the levels of hormones in the body and to diagnose or monitor conditions related to hormonal imbalances. The specific tests ordered will depend on the symptoms and medical history of the individual. These tests may involve blood, urine, or saliva samples. Moreover, interpreting the results often requires the expertise of a healthcare provider. Since, hormone levels can fluctuate widely depending on factors like age, menstrual cycle phase, and medications. Overall, hormone tests play a crucial role in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring a wide range of health conditions related to hormonal imbalances.
