A Personal Message to My Colleagues

My bond with the ophthalmic community is national — built conference by conference, state by state, over more than three decades.

“I have served AIOS with commitment in the past, and I am committed to serve AIOS in the future too. As I seek your support for Vice President in the 2027 election, I want to personally reconnect with friends and colleagues in every state I’ve had the privilege of knowing.”

Wherever You Are

The same message, to every state

I am a life member of more than 25 state and national ophthalmic societies across India — from Kerala to Assam, Gujarat to Telangana, Bihar to Karnataka. If your state isn’t featured above, it isn’t for a lack of connection: it simply means this page is still growing, just like my campaign itself.

If you’d like to invite me to connect with your state society, or want to share your own AIOS memories with me, I would love to hear from you.
