Arrived at #Rome late last night, on a 4-day visit to #Italy. A warm welcome at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) by officers of the High Commission of India in Rome. Looking forward to a fruitful visit, exploring new avenues of cooperation between India and Italy.

On #WorldScienceDay, let's draw inspiration from Dr Vikram Sarabhai, the Father of the Indian space program #ISRO, who believed science education should be made compulsory for all citizens.

“India’s first Cannabis Medicine project is led by #Jammu’s #CSIR-IIIM, targeting potential treatment for chronic pain, such as pain related to diabetic neuropathy as well as other neuropathies, cancers, etc”.

At CSIR- #IIIM #Jammu, reviewed the progress of India's first of it's kind, Cannabis Medicinal Research Project, with a particular focus on its potential medical applications. Cannabis is sought to be developed as export quality painkiller drugs, sending out a message that a substance infamous for drug addiction, could also bring relief to mankind. The pre-clinical trials are planned at Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) Mumbai. This is expected to pave the way for developing medicines for diabetic and other neuropathies, cancer, epilepsy, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). etc. The project has been undertaken in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with the participation of a French company, and is aimed exclusively at exploring the medicinal and life-science applications of cannabis. The project truly reflects PM Sh @NarendraModi's vision of a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Society approach. It brings together the Government of India, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and private-sector partners in a coordinated effort to harness medical innovation for societal benefit.

Arrived at CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine #IIIM, #Jammu, to review India’s first “Cannabis Medicinal Project”. Thanks for the warm welcome from the Director CSIR-IIIM, Jammu, Dr. Zabeer Ahmed, the faculty members and other dignitaries.
