Venus Remedies Ltd Joins AMR Industry Alliance To Combat Imminent Global Health Threat

* It has joined the league of over 100 globally renowned organisations as a member of the world’s largest private sector coalition working towards curbing antimicrobial resistance

Venus Remedies Ltd, one of India’s leading research-driven pharmaceutical companies, has joined the league of over 100 globally renowned organisations as a member of the AMR Industry Alliance (AMRIA) in continuation of its commitment to develop solutions to combat the grave public health threat posed by antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Welcoming Venus Remedies as a new member, Melissa Mitchell, Secretariat Lead of AMR Industry Alliance, said, “We are delighted to have Venus Remedies join our ranks. As an organisation, they lead by example and make commendable efforts to counter the threat of AMR by improving the access of AMR-relevant drugs to third-world countries and encouraging appropriate antibiotic use, along with good stewardship activities. Leading companies in the life science sector, like Venus Remedies, are playing a vital role in the mitigation of AMR and continue to strengthen multi-stakeholder collaborations.”

The AMR Industry Alliance is the largest private sector coalition working towards curbing AMR through a coordinated and multipronged response. Since its inception in 2017, it has been persistently contributing towards sustainable solutions to curb AMR by creating a broad industry momentum and facilitating collaboration between the public and private sectors.  The Alliance membership comprises R&D-based pharmaceutical, generics, diagnostics and biotechnology companies, apart from industry associations.  Together, they have collectively invested over US$1.9 billion in AMR-relevant R&D in FY 2020. In addition to promoting innovation to prevent, diagnose and treat drug-resistant infections, this global coalition is checking the emergence of resistance through appropriate use, addressing barriers to patient access for appropriate drugs and advancing responsible manufacturing.  The Alliance recently released its third Progress Report, reflecting on collective achievements from the life sciences industry. The findings underline continued focus and leadership from the life sciences sector in the fight against AMR and continued cross-sector collaborations, while recommending policy and regulatory changes towards a more sustainable marketplace.

Hailing the membership as an endorsement of the notable work done by Venus Remedies to tackle AMR, Saransh Chaudhary, CEO, Venus Medicine Research Centre (VMRC), said, “ It is an honour to collaborate with the global life sciences industry under the aegis of the AMR Industry Alliance and devise sustainable solutions to AMR. I hope this association will amplify our existing efforts against AMR at a global level by shaping relevant AMR policies and plugging the leaks in the current antibiotic research and manufacturing landscape with focus on access and appropriate use.”

The AMR Industry Alliance membership of Venus Remedies, which has played a commendable role in ensuring appropriate manufacturing and access of antibiotics, is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to join hands with other organisations in a determined fight against AMR at a global scale. “Having a presence in 80 countries, Venus Remedies has enabled the sustainable supply of quality-assured antibiotics to countries which did not have easy access to them,” said Chaudhary.

Venus Remedies is among the very few R&D-based pharma firms in the world focusing on AMR for over a decade now. Many of its superbug-tackling solutions and last-line generic antibiotics have helped millions of patients and prevented the spread of bacterial resistance from one species to another.

Exploring ways to evolve a consensus on long-term solutions to AMR, VMRC has set up a non-profit organisation called Preserving Life of Existing Antibiotics (PLEA), which has been working towards spreading awareness about the repercussions of antibiotic misuse through special drives and health camps. It is also promoting antibiotic stewardship by making all-out efforts to ensure adherence to guidelines on antibiotic use in hospitals, especially infection control practices in ICUs.

About the AMR Industry Alliance

The AMR Industry Alliance was formed in 2017. With approximately 100 life sciences companies and trade associations, it represents nearly one-third of the volume of sales and the majority of all novel products. Members have committed to report on activities they are undertaking in the areas of research & science, access to antibiotics and their appropriate use , as well as responsible environmental manufacturing to tackle the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance. If AMR remains unchecked, the annual death toll could climb from 700,000 each year to 10 million by 2050 and the economic impact could be on a par with the 2008 financial crisis. The AMR Industry Alliance ensures that signatories collectively deliver on the specific commitments made in the Industry Declaration on AMR,  the Roadmap for Progress on Combating AMR and the progress made in the fight against AMR.

Prime Minister Inaugurated 216-Feet Tall Statue Of Equality Commemorating Sri Ramanuja’s Eternal Teachings

* Lauds the historic initiative of creating a spiritual zone on a global scale to inspire the whole world with the eternal teachings of Sri Ramanuja, the 11th century Bhakti saint and social reformer 

* The unveiling of the Statue is a part of the 12-day Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi ‘Samaroham’, the 1000th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Ramanjua, which commenced on February 2, 2022, with the world’s biggest Sri Lakshmi Narayana Maha Yajna  

Prime Minister, Sri Narendra Modi Ji has dedicated to the world today the 216-feet tall Statue of Equality which commemorates Sri Ramanujacharya’s teachings promoting equality in its truest sense among people of all faith, caste, and creed. He visited the 45-acre temple complex housing the statue and the identical recreations of 108 Divya Desams, centered in Shamshabad, Hyderabad.    

The unveiling of the Statue of Equality is a part of the ongoing 12-day Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi ‘Samaroham’, the 1000th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Ramanjua, commenced on February 2, 2022. His Holiness Chinna Jeeyar Swami presided over the event that attracted the participation of politicians, celebrities, and thousands of devotees from all over the world.  

The Statue of Equality is made of ‘panchaloha’, a combination of five metals: gold, silver, copper, brass, and zync. The 54-ft high base building, named ‘Bhadra Vedi’, has dedicated floors for a Vedic digital library and research centre, ancient Indian texts, a theatre, an educational gallery detailing many works of Sri Ramanujacharya.  

In his speech, Sri Modi Ji, said, “I am so proud to witness the moment of the inauguration of the Statue of Equality. It is indeed a very proud moment for every Indian. India holds many great minds, and one of them was Sri Ramanujacharya, who taught us the lesson of equality between all cast, creed, and gender.  Statue of Equality puts our nation at the forefront as a firm believer in equality, having one of the most diverse population globally. I would also take this opportunity to thank HH Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji, who took the initiative to give our nation a symbol of equality and unity, which is the very essence of Bharat." 

Welcoming everyone at the grand opening of the Statue of Equality, HH Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji, said, “Bhagavad Ramanujacharya remained a true icon of equality for 1000 years and this project would ensure that his teachings are practiced for at least another 1000 years. Our mission is to make the Statue of Equality a culturally paramount destination for people across the globe and inspire everyone to make the world a more equal place to live," he said.  

Sri Lakshmi Narayana Maha Yajna, a Vedic rite of offering oblations to the sacred fires, marked the commencement of the ‘Samaroham’. Featuring the participation of 5000 Vedic Scholars the Maha Yajna was conducted on February 2, 2022, with 1035 ‘yaaga kundas’ (the ritual pits) located at 144 ‘homashalas’, making it the world’s largest yajna of its kind in modern history. His Excellency, President Sri Ramnath Kovind Ji will unveil the inner chamber Ramanuja on February 13, 2022.  

Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi ‘Samaroham’ includes many spiritual activities such as chanting of nine branches of the four Vedas, japa of Ashtakshari Maha Mantra, also known as Mantra rajam (king of all mantras), the recitation of Itihasas, puranas and agamas. The ongoing chanting of Ashtakshari Maha Mantra is expected to reach the counting of one crore by the end of the Samaroham. The foundation stone for the project was laid in 2014.
