Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Rajat Ray. A pioneer of addiction psychiatry in India, he played a pivotal role in establishing addiction treatment services and inspired generations through his clinical excellence, teaching, and mentorship.
62% of Indian resident doctors work more than 36 hours at a stretch. 86% report severe sleep deprivation. 97% earn less than an entry level civil servant. 76% are assaulted while on duty.
We can call ourselves civilised only when we learn to treat our doctors like they treat us.
India is shaping a forward-looking health research roadmap—and your insights can help define it.

Jio made a net profit of ₹30,000 crores last year, while Airtel made a net profit of ₹38,000 crores (approx).
A year before that, Jio had made a net profit of ₹26,000 crores, while Airtel had a net profit of ₹37,000 crores.
Let me remind you, these are the profits after all expenses and taxes. A total of ₹1.31 lakh crores in profit in just two years by both companies.
Still, they are planning to raise their recharge plan prices by 10-15%, even though they had increased prices last year too.
The govt needs to wake up and end this daylight robbery. It’s urgently needed to protect Indians by ending this duopoly through strengthening BSNL.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that requires early identification to minimize long-term challenges. Clinical experts emphasize that effective management relies on a three-pillar framework: structured medical treatment, psycho-education for families to recognize symptoms like delusions or hallucinations, and active rehabilitation to help individuals safely return to their daily routines.
Listen to the panel of experts, including Dr. Mamta Sood from AIIMS Delhi, explain the specifics of the problems.

In the 1940s, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was committed to his teaching role at the University of Chicago, despite being based at the Yerkes Observatory. Each week, he traveled 80 miles to teach a special course attended by only two students. The students were Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang. They proved their mentor's faith was well-placed when they both won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, years before Chandrasekhar received the same honor in 1983. Remarkably, this course went down in history as the only one where every attendee received a Nobel Prize, underscoring the extraordinary impact of Chandrasekhar's dedication and teaching.
