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".

Every ambitious innovation journey begins with a small seed. Ours began in a small village, with a dream of building reusable rockets and making space access more affordable. During his school years, our founder received the INSPIRE National Fellowship from the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India (@IndiaDST). This early encouragement became one of the important stepping stones in his journey, nurturing his scientific curiosity and strengthening his ambition to build something meaningful. That early encouragement helped strengthen our conviction, nurture our ideas, and lay the foundation for a bootstrapped deep-tech startup. Over time, continued support and the broader innovation ecosystem helped that initial seed take root, grow, and evolve into Abyom SpaceTech & Defence. Today, the DST, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, has #featured Abyom’s journey in its #Annual Report. From an early fellowship to developing rocket propulsion technologies, testing infrastructure, and reusable launch systems, our journey has been one of learning, perseverance, and continuous progress. We're grateful to DST for being part of our journey and to everyone who has contributed to our progress along the way. What began as a small seed is growing into something much bigger, and we know there is still a long way to go. @narendramodi @DrJitendraSingh @ANRFIndia @isro @tdbgoi @INSPACeIND @JainulAbedin37 @karandi65 @ramgopal_rao @SomanathSpeak @startupindia @NITIAayog @meitystartuphub @AdityaBirlaGrp @bitspilaniindia @iitmadras @startup__pedia @RuntimeBRT @SINEIITB @mygovindia @Boeing @Forbes @ForbesIndia @PMOIndia @PrinSciAdvOff #AbyomSpaceTech #DST #DeepTech #INSPIRE #ReusableRockets #SpaceTech #Defence #RDI #ANRF #DepartmentOfScienceAndTechnology

#WATCH | Delhi: On Swachhata Campaign 6.0, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said, "Shortly after becoming Prime Minister in 2014, PM Modi initiated this from the Red Fort... It soon evolved into a mass movement, and we have continued to carry it forward each year, building upon our previous experiences. About 6 years ago, it was decided that we should conduct a dedicated cleanliness campaign for one month... The period chosen for this, from October 2nd (Gandhi Jayanti) to October 31st (Patel Jayanti), has been observed for the past six years. This year marks the 6th edition of the cleanliness campaign (Swachhata Campaign 6.0). The initiative is assessed periodically, and insights from previous campaigns are used to introduce new dimensions... We have learned how to manage this waste effectively, ensuring it does not go to waste but is instead converted into revenue by bringing it to the market. Over the past 5 years, through the collection of scrap... we have managed to contribute nearly Rs 6,000 crore or even more to the government exchequer..."
