I am deeply honoured and grateful for the trust and support shown by electing me as the President of the Endocrine Society of India (ESI). This is a remarkable opportunity to lead our esteemed society, and I look forward to working with all of you to further our collective mission.
My vision for ESI focuses on advancing research in endocrinology, fostering innovative projects that address the unique challenges faced by our population. Through collaborative research, we can contribute meaningfully to both national and international scientific progress in areas like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and metabolic health.
Community outreach remains a key priority. We must ensure that the advancements in our field reach every corner of India, especially underserved regions, through health camps, awareness programs, and early detection initiatives.
Mentoring the next generation of endocrinologists is essential for the continued growth of our profession. I am committed to establishing structured mentorship programs, oHering young endocrinologists opportunities to present their work, and encouraging their involvement in leadership roles.
I am also excited to announce plans for a more vibrant and dynamic ESI website, a digital hub that will serve as a resource for education, collaboration, and innovation. This platform will connect members, foster research, and share updates on global endocrine issues
Finally, we must address the emerging fields of environmental and spiritual endocrinology. The influence of environmental factors, such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, requires urgent attention, while spiritual endocrinology oHers a holistic approach to managing hormonal health by integrating mindfulness and traditional practices.
Together, we will take the Endocrine Society of India to new heights, making lasting contributions to global endocrine health.

I thank all the members once again for their wholehearted cooperation and participation in the activities of the society.
We plan to focus on the public awareness, outreach activities, collaborative research, technology integration, social media presence, registry and database creation etc. during the next term. I request each one of you to participate in the activities of their interest and communicate directly with me for any further improvement in the functioning of the society.
