Education’s role is pivotal in achieving this mission and it takes a lot of collective efforts in achieving this kind of national mission. We all need to contribute everyday in some way from our side in spreading the importance of education and we need to ensure that there has to be a synthesis of Puratan Bharat in whatever we do.

Dr. Satya Vadlamani, CMD, Murli Krishna Pharma shared her thoughts on research and innovation and how it can be made commercially viable for overall betterment of the society. She said that “Innovation, Industry, Technology and Universities are all inter-related. Universities are into research for their Ph.D. thesis but it is the Industry which actually takes it to the market. IIT Bombay gave one project of Transdermol Oil and Lotion to my organization Murli Krishna Pharma for innovating further and making it commercially viable by taking it to the market. This Transdermol lotion ensures that women and child are no more anaemic and hence helps achieving the mission of Anaemia Mukt Bharat. After several research works we are ready with the product and now taking it to the market. Also, I believe Education is a basis for everything and our CSR activities works with communities around to ensure that quality education is being provided to children all over the region.”
