Call UsADIEU 2025
The transition from one year to the next is more than just a calendar change; it is a moment for humanity to pause, reflect on the lessons of the past twelve months, and set a collective vision for the future. As I bid farewell to 2025 and stand at the dawn of 2026, I look back on a year that redefined my place in the Clinical and Linguistic arena and challenged myself to build more resilient contributions.
Looking Back: The Milestones of 2025
The year 2025 was defined by achievements that once felt like unbelievable fiction. In surgical explorations, 2025 was a landmark year as Paediatric Surgery touched 6,00 procedures in Kaushalya Medical Foundation Trust Hospital alone.
Surgery for Hypospadias dominated the operative lists and at the end of the year, I see many happy boys proud of their streams and trajectories.
Sunday and weekend camps held in various places of the Maharashtra State took this tally to 1200+. Mega camps were held in Baramati, Satar, Thane Civil Hospital and Shahpur.
Shishu Shalya Seva solidified its status as a dominant player with the successful patronage from TATA TRUSTS under the umbrella Of Universal Sports & Cultural Foundation.
On the linguistic horizon, 54th book- “BAAT NIKALEGI TOH”. was written, printed and released in Diwali. Audio Visual presentation of the book is nearing its completion and 8 Episodes are released.
Building An Edifice On The Banks Of River Tapi
The year 2025, saw multiple visits to Shirpur for the construction supervision of Tapanbhai Patel Mukhsbhai Patel Memorial Hospital and a dream is coming into reality.
Welcoming 2026: A Year of Possibility
As I step into 2026, my personal focus shifts from reflection to action. The coming year holds the promise of returning more children to their active, vivacious and vibrant healthy life and back to schools.
In the realm of technology, 2026 is expected to be the year when
SSI MANTRA III Robot
enters Kaushalya and Paediatric Surgery touches a new sky.
Moving it from once a blue moon day procedure into practical, industrial-scale day to day affordable surgical applications, potentially revolutionizing the financial and medical challenges in Robotic Future of the Faculty is the singular challenge that I have to overcome.
For me, 2026 represents a “giant reset button”. It is a year to apply the lessons of 2025—fostering kinder communities, embracing sustainable living, and leveraging technology for the common good. Whether through personal resolutions to improve health and learning or global efforts to achieve peace and environmental stability, 2026 stands as a blank page ready for a new story of human achievement.
Conclusion
The year gone by has shown me both my vulnerability and my incredible capacity for innovations. As 2025 fades into history, it leaves behind a legacy of scientific wonders and a call for greater community applications. I welcome 2026 with open arms, not just as another year, but as a fresh opportunity to turn my boldest dreams into reality.
