It is with immense humility and heartfelt gratitude that I accept the honor of being elected as the President Elect 2027 of our prestigious Federation. This trust is not merely a recognition of my personal journey, but a profound reminder of the collective spirit that binds us together as one family. To be chosen to lead this family of visionaries, mentors, and torchbearers is the greatest privilege of my professional life.
FOGSI has always been more than an institution, it is a living legacy of Compassion, Commitment, and Care. It is a sanctuary where ideas flourish, mentorship uplifts, and where every member contributes to shaping the future of women’s health in India and beyond. As I accept this responsibility, I do so with a steadfast commitment to nurture this legacy and to strengthen the pillars that define our Federation:

– Academic Advancement: Building dynamic platforms for research, dialogue, and innovation, ensuring that our members remain at the forefront of global knowledge.

– Professional Growth: Creating pathways of mentorship and opportunity so that every member, from the youngest trainee to the most experienced expert, feels empowered to thrive.

– Recognition and Inclusivity: Celebrating the diverse contributions of all who enrich our mission, ensuring that every voice finds resonance and respect.

– Integrity and Reputation: Safeguarding the values that make FOGSI a trusted voice in women’s health, and upholding the dignity of our Federation in every endeavor.

Leadership, I believe, is not about one individual it is about harnessing collective wisdom, shared responsibility, and the strength of unity. Together, we will continue to uphold the legacy of FOGSI while embracing the evolving needs of our members and the communities we serve. Our journey ahead is not one of solitary vision, but of shared purpose, where every idea, every effort, and every heart contributes to the greater good.
I invite each of you to walk alongside me in this journey with your insights, your energy, and your dedication. Let us reaffirm our commitment to excellence and compassion, ensuring that FOGSI remains a beacon of hope, knowledge, and service for generations to come.
