THE SILENT CRISIS CANCER IN THE ELDERLY DEMANDS OUR ATTENTION

The greying of India is accelerating, expected so with regards to longevity. Current estimates suggest nearly 140 million Indians are aged above 60, a figure set to double within three decades. With advancing age comes increased cancer risk, yet specialised geriatric oncology [Specialty care for elderly cancer patients] services remain conspicuously absent across most Indian healthcare settings.

Ms. Multani notes that India's growth increasingly depends on robust healthcare, with hospitals emerging as key drivers of productivity and future competitiveness

Why Health Infrastructure Matters More Than EverA 2024 meta-review found that improvements in public health consistently contribute to higher GDP per capita growth, especially in developing countries undergoing demographic transition. Good health enables a workforce that is more productive, less prone to absenteeism, and capable of longer, healthier working lives. For India, with a median age under 30 and a workforce numbering over 500 million, the stakes are enormous. A healthy working-age population today is the real capital for the India of 2030-2040.

The Rise of Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences

Since its inception in 2003, the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit has stood as a beacon of India's economic ambition. Conceptualized by Shri Narendra Modi during his tenure as Chief Minister, the summit has evolved over ten editions into a premier global forum for strategic partnerships. However, the true legacy of this “Summit of Success” is now finding a new, more localized expression. To ensure that the dividends of development reach every corner of the state, the Government of Gujarat has launched the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences (VGRC)—a strategic decentralization of the summit's proven model.

The last jobs standing

As artificial intelligence marches across the employment landscape like a caffeinated HR manager with a spreadsheet full of redundancies, one question looms large: what jobs will survive the Great Algorithmic Purge? We already know that AI can write sonnets, diagnose diseases, and beat humans at chess, as well as draft passive-aggressive email. But what are the non-endangered species of employment—the jobs that still remain gloriously human?
