My address at the #Chennai Convocation before awarding Medical degrees at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (SRIHER). Key Takeaways: "Next generation of medical professionals would have the privilege of using enabling technologies while, at the same time, facing the challenge of integrating these optimally with clinical practice. And hence, the future of medicine would depend on the ability to combine technological advances with sound clinical orientation. World is entering an era of AI-guided, gene-driven precision medicine, with India emerging among the front-line providers of new healthcare solutions.  Both communicable as well as non-communicable diseases continue to challenge India's healthcare systems, even as increasing life expectancy brings new medical demands. Preventive healthcare will have to be a priority to protect the productive potential of India's youth for achieving Viksit Bharat 2047, envisaged by PM Sh @NarendraModi".

Two school girls from J&K and Ladakh @JNVLeh1986, who are beneficiaries of the “Vigyan Jyoti” scheme of @IndiaDST, Ministry of Science & Technology, share how the programme has strengthened their understanding of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology (PCMB). Through academic sessions and interactions with inspiring role models, they have gained knowledge, confidence, and motivation to pursue their dreams in science. The “Vigyan Jyoti” scheme continues to empower girls to explore opportunities in STEM and shape a brighter future. #GirlsInSTEM
