As our nation commemorates the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi this year, I am proud to state that PHFI has followed the path shown by the Mahatma, as its work in public health ameliorates the lives of individuals, households and communities, the faceless, nameless and marginalized amongst them. Over a decade of its existence, PHFI as a public-private initiative has rendered yeoman’s service in strengthening India’s public health institutional and systems capability, augmenting public health workforce and developing healthcare technologies. With its demonstrated track record in education, research, training and capacity building, its programmes have been adopted not only in our neighbourhood by South Asian countries but also by African countries.

  • Biodiversity for Everyone's Life
    Biodiversity for Everyone’s Life Jointly organized by Miranda House, University of Delhi and Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Manipur Date: 31August 2018 Time: 9.00 am to 06.00 pm Venue: Auditorium, Miranda House, University of Delhi Preamble This Conclave aims to explore Biodiversity from a multifaceted perspective, from scientific understanding to its conservation and expansion. It will pose two important questions: How do we make biodiversity an inseparable part of day-to-day life? How do we make biodiversity an integral part of every citizen’s conscious self? India is proud to have some of the major hotspots of biodiversity in the world, particularly the N- E states in India. Its health is important for sustainable development of the entire country. It also throws challenges as to how to keep the aspirations of the people of N-E fulfilled and at the same time, maintain and expand the biodiversity. Similar problems/issues affect other biodiversity hotspots in the country. With increased human migration, exchange of living and non-living commodities across the globe, introduction of invasive species, new epidemic outbreaks, and more importantly the local and the global impact of climate change, we need to re-examine the dynamics of Earth's ecosystem from a newer perspective. An understanding of the Earth’s ecosystems and measures to sustain the health of the Earth for the future requires multi-disciplinary approaches. With the help of tools of big data analysis, foundations of planetary science and ecology and evolution, we may start identifying key factors that affect biodiversity and, thereby, ecosystem function and services.
