I feel happy to be here today at the 49th Convocation of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, an institution which has earned its prestige across the world by pursuing excellence in healthcare, medical education and life sciences research.
AIIMS is a symbol of hope for millions of patients who come here for treatment, often from afar. Its faculty, helped by paramedics and non- medical staff, treat the underprivileged and the privileged with the same dedication and empathy. In fact, I would say that the AIIMS is a running laboratory of the Gita’s Karma Yoga.
