Vigyan Dhara: Sarvasya Aarogyam – June 2026 Edition | Advisory & Review Committee on Medical Countermeasures: One Health Approach for a Healthy Planet – The Imperatives of a Technology Push

Preparing for the next pandemic begins long before the next outbreak.

The article, "Advisory & Review Committee on Medical Countermeasures," highlights how India's One Health vision can strengthen national preparedness through science, technology, and collaboration.

It explores the critical role of advanced diagnostics, rapid vaccine development, AI-powered surveillance, indigenous innovation, and integrated medical countermeasures in building an effective health ecosystem. Research, public-private partnerships, domestic manufacturing, and cross-sector collaboration are imperative for faster detection, stronger response, and better protection against any future health threats.

A healthier future depends on investing in innovation today.

Marking 150 years of excellence, the “Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science”, #Kolkata @iacskolkata, India’s first research institution, has shaped Bharat’s scientific legacy since 1876.

It was here that C. V. Raman conducted his pioneering research on the Raman Effect, earning the Nobel Prize and placing @iacskolkata on the global scientific map. It was here again that the iconic Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee spent some of his important academic years.

In this special edition, “Dream 2047”, popular science magazine of @IndiaDST, celebrates this milestone, inspiring young minds by connecting Bharat’s rich scientific heritage with its future.
