Today, as NIMHANS and ICMR mark an incredible 70 years of groundbreaking collaboration, I reflect on my journey and the privilege of contributing to this legacy.
From working as a Junior Research Fellow on the ICMR-funded project to pursuing my PhD thesis, "Identification and Intervention for Infant Mental Health through Developmental and Psychodynamic Approaches," I’ve been fortunate to be a part of work so close to my heart.
But none of this would have been possible without the guidance and unwavering support of my teachers, mentors, and especially my guide and joint guides. Your wisdom, patience, and belief in me have shaped my academic path and my outlook on life and research. You taught me to dig deeper, think bigger, and believe in the power of science to create meaningful change.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done to guide me toward this moment. I am so proud to be part of this journey.
