SUMMARY:World Health Day Celebration
LOCATION:Classroom Arkavathi Campus
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS) has scheduled a serie
 s of events to actively participate in the National celebrations to commemo
 rate the 75th anniversary of India's Independence – Aazadi Ka Amrit Mahotsa
 va. The first event was held today, 7th April 2021, under the title “World 
 Health Day” in the form of a special lecture by Dr. M. S. Rajanna, M.D., to
  mark the beginning of the celebrations. Dr. Yelamaggad welcomed the speake
 r and all the members of CeNS. Dr. S. Angappane made a brief presentation a
 bout the various programs organized by CeNS to celebrate Aazadi Ka Amrit Ma
 hotsava. The guest speaker was introduced to the audience by Dr. M.L.V. Arc
 hana, Authorized Medical Officer, CeNS. Dr. Rajanna made an impressive pres
 entation entitled “Healthcare in India: Post Independence Scenario.” He men
 tioned that India has gone through innumerable hardships after Independence
  – wars, natural calamities, terrorism, and what not - but in spite, it has
  made tremendous progress in all walks of life, especially in the medical s
 ector.\n To quote, “Today, I am proud to be here to say that India is 
 being looked upon as a leader among nations in many aspects.” He conveyed t
 he message that good health, in general, of a population translates to a st
 rong and successful Nation. India had a very robust health culture in the f
 orm of Ayurveda, which perhaps dates back 3000 to 5000 years ago. Foreign r
 ule brought in different branches of medicine and established rudimentary h
 ealth care systems. From thereon, the progressive strides that India has ta
 ken, post-independence, to attach utmost importance to health care, is evid
 ent in the fact that deadly diseases such as polio, malaria, small pox, TB,
  have either been eradicated or contained to a very large extent in India. 
 A very proud achievement indeed, that was possible only due to the untiring
  efforts of the entire Indian medical and para-medical fraternity. Today, p
 atients from across the globe look up to India for specialized surgeries/tr
 eatment. Take the current pandemic, for that matter – India has very ably h
 andled the situation, held the mortality rate to very low levels, and now h
 as its vaccination.”\nHe said that “Most importantly, India is playing a vi
 tal role in the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide.” He 
 urged all the young scientists and medical practitioners to use this celebr
 ation of the 75th year of independence as the Launchpad to work harder to a
 chieve greater heights in Health care and make India a world leader in heal
 th care.\nAfter the presentation, Dr. D. S. Shankar Rao proposed the vote o
 f thanks.\n
