PM Narendra Modi: India lagging behind in medical research

[TimeTraveller]

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India is lagging behind in the field of medical research and more work should be done.

"India is lagging behind in the field of medical research and much more needs to be done... We should focus on research, particularly on case history. This can be a big contribution to humankind," Modi said while addressing the 42nd annual convocation of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here.

He also suggested a tradition be introduced of having special guests at convocation ceremonies.

"Can we start a tradition of having special guests at convocation? By special guests I mean some selected Class 8-9 students from a village school. They should be invited so that they can see what the world is all about," Modi said.

Cheered and applauded by audiences, Modi said: "This will arouse curiosity in the student, help him dream and will have a big impact."

Asking the passing out batch to keep the student in them alive, the Prime Minister said: "Do not think your student life has ended here...The thirst for knowledge and learning must never stop."

"You must keep the student in you alive. That is when something can be done. Do not think your student life has ended here," the PM said.

He said that at the AIIMS "you were very protected. There was always someone to help you — from seniors to faculty".

He said the students were now entering a bigger classroom where they have to take their decisions on their own.

"From the classrooms here, you are entering a bigger classroom. The mindset of Ekalavya is required," the PM added.

It is true. When was the last time we discovered a ground breaking non-Ayurvedic remedy to the world's problems? Also the generic medicines that we rip off has to be converted into genuine research to discover new drugs for complicated ailments.

I hope that our workforce of doctors and researchers are ready for it.

प्रधानमंत्री के तंजो लतीफ

1. मैं कभी अच्छा स्टूडेंट नहीं रहा. न ही कभी अवॉर्ड नहीं मिला] इसलिए ज्यादा बारीकियां नहीं पता हैं. छात्र जब एग्जाम देता है, तो खाना भी नहीं जमता. बड़े तनाव में रहता है. मगर आज तो आप उन सबसे पार आ पहुंचे हैं, तो फिर आप इतने गंभीर क्यों हैं?
2. मैं कब से देख रहा था. क्या कारण है. क्या मिश्रा जी, क्या कारण है?
3. आप अक्‍सर मरीज से कहते हैं कि ये खाना चाहिए, ये नहीं खाना चाहिए. मगर जैसे ही मेस में पहुंचे तो स्पर्धा लगी होगी. देखते हैं आज कौन कितने स्पेशल डिश निपटाता है. यही तो जिंदगी है दोस्तों.
4. आपके बीच आने का अवसर मिला. जाने क्यों मिला. न अच्छा पेशंट हूं. भगवान न करें कभी बनूं. डॉक्टर तो मैं हूं ही नहीं. इसलिए बुलाया कि पीएम हूं. देश का दुर्भाग्य है कि हम लोग सब जगह चलते हैं.
