Former Director, NIMHANS, Bengaluru

“I started my journey at NIMHANS in 1982 as a faculty member and devoted many years to service. Looking ahead, my VISION for 2047 is to see the ethos of the NIMHANS logo “Samatvam Yoga Uchyate”, meaning equanimity is the ultimate goal of existence, realized across India and the world.”
