Thank you for the kind words, @UpendraAZ. We loved having you with us and hearing your thoughts.
Until next time, General.
Silchar: Inaugurated an ICMR-backed proteomics facility at Cachar Cancer Hospital, led by Dr R Ravi Kannan, Padma Shri and Ramon Magsaysay Awardee. Full credit to him and his doctors: 80% of their patients are daily-wage earners, and each gets their devotion.
The hospital began in 1992 as a people’s movement. Today it is a lifeline for southern Assam and the wider #NorthEast , where such care is scarce. My tribute to the patients, the doctors, and Dr S Krishnamurthi, who held that research must reach “the last man on the street”.
At the memorial lecture in his name, my theme was protector and healer: one calling, two uniforms. Both learn, lead, serve. Both are needed for #ViksitBharat 2047.
The questions on Op Sindoor and the North East were sharp. My message to the young: in future conflict no region is a bystander. Cyber, information, space and economic warfare reach every citizen. Be an enabler. Be the first village, not the last.
Dhonnobad, Silchar.

We had the honour of welcoming General Upendra Dwivedi for the Dr S. Krishnamurthy Memorial Lecture.

Difficult times can leave families vulnerable, but support should never come at the cost of their dignity. Respect means protecting their privacy, listening without judgement and ensuring they feel heard, valued and empowered.

A cancer journey extends beyond the treatment room. Alongside medical care, patients and families need understanding, guidance and emotional support to navigate difficult decisions and changing emotions throughout the journey.

Dr Ravi Kannan reflects on an experience that revealed the sacrifices one family made for cancer care. It shaped a lasting principle at CCHRC: care must be compassionate, mindful, and sensitive to the realities patients live with.
