My remarks after releasing two NITI Aayog reports on easing research and development processes: "The @narendramodi government has taken a series of enabling steps including opening up sectors such as Space and Nuclear Energy to private players and creating dedicated mechanisms like the RDI fund. Private sector too should accelerate its participation in R&D activities. Ease of Research calls for systemic reforms with a change of mindset. Focus has to be on improving funding access, reducing bottlenecks and encouraging philanthropy".

Congratulations #ISRO for the successful accomplishment of Second Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-02) for #Gaganyaan, India’s first Human Space flight scheduled next year.

#WorldTuberculosisDay: "Glad to have launched first-of-its-kind global clinical study integrating Ayurveda with modern TB care regimens; moving a step closer to 'TB Mukt Bharat', as envisaged by PM @narendramodi. Modern science and traditional knowledge come together for holistic management with better outcomes. Patient-centric, integrated approach is the key to TB elimination. India already seeing steady decline in TB incidence through innovation. India, which accounts for nearly 25% of the global TB burden, has registered a significant decline in incidence to about 187 cases per 100,000 population in 2024, reflecting a 21% reduction since 2015 Whole-of-science, whole-of-government approach promises to drive scientific validation of Allopathy + Ayurveda strategies for mankind, with Ayurveda's strong potential as adjuvant supportive therapy".
