We Have Won! No one can use ‘ORS’ on their label unless it’s a WHO-recommended formula. This is the story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a braveheart paediatrician from Hyderabad, who fought for 8 years against sugar-rich drinks falsely marketed as ORS. Her persistence led to FSSAI’s landmark order, protecting children and patients from misleading claims. “These drinks had 10x the sugar WHO recommends, worsening diarrhoea and complications in millions of kids,” she explains. This victory is not just hers, but belongs to everyone who stood with her — doctors, advocates, parents, and citizens demanding truth in labeling. Scroll down to see how her 8-year battle changed the game for public health and children across India.

@ShashiTharoor Even in Karnataka, some communities celebrate on 14 Sep this year (Tholappar / Mannar Sampradaya). This is because two things are important - thithi- Ashtami; Nakshatra - Rohini; some follow thithi, some nakshatra; Ashtami & Rohini is in Sep this year

Yesterday, 16th Aug, 2025 (Saturday), was celebrated as Bhagwan Sri Krishna #Janmashthami across India — except in the state of Kerala! The  Malayalam calendar shows this year’s Janmashthami date as 14th Sept, 2025(Sunday), NOT yesterday. Can anybody enlighten me as to why this is so? Surely even a Bhagwan can’t be born on two different days six weeks apart! Is there a case for rationalising the dates of religious holidays so that all adherents of a faith can celebrate with their fellow believers at the same time? After all, Keralites don’t observe a different Christmas!

We celebrate the opening of our renovated Psychiatry OPD, Staff Clinic, & Male Surgical Ward- designed for comfort, accessibility, and excellence. This transformation reflects our continuing commitment to creating healing spaces that inspire hope & deliver exceptional care to all
