An Unforgettable Mahakumbh Experience Visiting the Mahakumbh with a team of doctors and scientists for an oral cancer screening camp was truly special. The devotion, energy, and sheer scale of the gathering were beyond anything I had ever seen. Early in the morning, seven of us set out for a holy dip at Sangam, making our way through an ocean of people. Internet connectivity was surprisingly strong, making navigation easier—especially for my friends from Bengaluru, who had never witnessed such a massive crowd before. Then came a moment of panic. I realized my phone was missing. It had been in my bag, which my brother was carrying. He recalled stumbling earlier and seeing someone pick it up. Assuming it was lost, we called my number, expecting nothing. To our surprise, a kind devotee answered. He had found the phone and wanted to return it. As we spoke, he handed it over to a police officer, Rahul Chaudhary ji, who guided us to a meeting point. Another officer, whose name we could not ask, was incredibly helpful and took our picture as Rahul ji handed the phone back to us. Thanks to them, I was reunited with my phone within an hour. Their honesty and kindness truly moved me, and I hope to find a way to recognize them someday. One of the most impressive things about the Mahakumbh was how well-organized everything was. The police and administration had put in tremendous effort to ensure safety and smooth movement, especially for women devotees. Every officer I interacted with was polite, efficient, and proactive. At the Sangam Ghat, I noticed a sudden increase in police presence. When I asked about it, I learned they had arrived early to manage the growing crowd and ensure safe dips for everyone. Their foresight and preparedness were truly commendable. I fully grasped the scale of these efforts when we began our return journey and saw that, due to Ekadashi, the crowd had tripled compared to when we had started at 5 AM. This was my first visit to the Mahakumbh, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed such devotion, discipline, and honesty among the attendees. The entire episode—from the integrity of the devotee to the efficiency of the police—was deeply moving and will remain etched in my memory forever. I sincerely appreciate the efforts of the police and the Yogi Ji administration for making this sacred gathering so well-organized and secure. A special thanks to the DIG and his team for their dedication and hard work in ensuring a safe and peaceful experience for all devotees. Proud and privileged to be an Indian, I cherish the brotherhood among our countrymen and uphold the belief in universal oneness, encapsulated in the Sanskrit phrase “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”—the world is one family.

AIIMS New Delhi Hosts Workshop on Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023 and Launches MIDAS Initiative for Oral Cancer Research

AIIMS marshals healthcare researchers for Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 The Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Centre for Dental Education and Research, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, will be hosting a workshop entitled “Demystifying Digital Personal Data Protection Act(DPDPA), 2023: For Healthcare Research”. Data privacy has gained prominence in the digital era and the DPDP Act, 2023 serves to protect the rights of the Indian nationals from both online and offline data breach. The workshop will focus on the implications of Digital Personal Data Protection Act, (DPDP Act) 2023 on health care research and feature enlightening lectures and discussions by experts in Legal, Electronics & Information Technology, and Medicine. Various institutions such as Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jammu, Cyber Law University, Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, Indian Institute of Science Bengaluru (IISc), and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Delhi. The programme will be inaugurated by Dr M Srinivas, Director, AIIMS, New Delhi in the presence of the guest of honour- Prof. Manoj Singh Gaur, Director, IIT Jammu- and hundreds of delegates from medical, dental and research institutions across India. The event will also mark the official launch of the collaborative endeavour of collection of gold standard medical images for oral cancer research and diagnostics between AIIMS, New Delhi; IISc, Bengaluru and ICMR. Named as ‘MIDAS’ for medical imaging datasets, it is anticipated to be the golden touch required for patients of oral cancer and precancer. Oral cancer accounts for over 30% of all cancer cases in India. MIDAS, in combination with the artificial intelligence tools, may help to predict the risk of oral cancer, and identify factors that can forecast the disease's progression. This breakthrough could significantly enhance our understanding and management of oral cancer in the Indian population.
