HARYANA :

Nuh:

On the occasion of Haryana Day, the All India Unani Tibbi Congress (AIUTC), Haryana, organised a Free Unani medical camp under its “Unani Upchar Janata Ke Dwaar Mission 2025” at Gaushala Road here. The camp served 296 patients, who received free Unani medicines and consultations. The day also marked the annual general body meeting of the All India Unani Tibbi Congress, Haryana.

Dr. Yashbir Gehlawat, District Ayurvedic Officer of Nuh, and Dr. Syed Ahmed Khan, former Deputy Director of CCRUM (Ministry of AYUSH) and Head of Unani at Safdarjung Hospital, attended as special guests.

Dr. Gehlawat encouraged Unani and Ayurvedic practitioners to take pride in their work and assured support for Unani medicine’s development.

Dr. Khan highlighted that organising such free medical camps benefits the public and raises awareness of the Congress’s efforts in promoting Unani healthcare.

Dr. Khan also called on the Haryana government to establish a Deputy Director for Unani in the AYUSH department. Historian and social activist Dr. Siddiq Ahmed Mewati, present as an honorary guest, emphasised the significance of such camps in regions like Mewat, suggesting that adopting Unani treatments could address numerous health issues without the side effects often associated with allopathic medicine.

Dr. Qamaruddin Zakir, President of AIUTC Haryana, expressed gratitude to the Unani doctors from Delhi who contributed to the camp and urged the Haryana government to prioritise the reopening of Akhera Unani Medical College and establish Unani departments in district medical colleges. He also requested that vacant Unani Medical Officer positions be filled through regular recruitment. Dr. Zakir thanked the BJP government for approving 84 Unani Medical Officer posts out of 1,085 sanctioned posts for Ayurvedic Medical Officers.

Dr. Mohammad Arshad Ghiyas, General Secretary of AIUTC Haryana, welcomed the guests and noted that most patients in the camp were treated for seasonal ailments, joint pain, and skin conditions – areas where Unani medicine is particularly effective.

Other notable participants included Dr. Shakeel Ahmed, Israr Ahmed Ajini, Hakeem Atta-ur-Rehman Ajmali (Managing Director of A&S Pharmacy), Aleem Ansari, Imran Qanooji, Hakeem Murtaza Dehlvi, Hakeem Aftab Alam, Dr. Habibullah, Dr. Aslam Ali, Dr. Mohiuddin, Dr. Mohammad Qasim, Dr. Abdul Salam, Dr. Mohammad Umar, Hafiz Akram Ali, and Mohammad Arbaaz. The organisers extended their gratitude to Limra Remedies and Aulia Herbals for their support in making the camp a success.

The programme began with a recitation from the Quran by Hafiz Mohammad Kamil.

Lecturer Ashraf Mewati skilfully conducted the event, and Dr. Mohammad Arshad Ghiyas extended thanks to all participants and contributors in his closing remarks.

Dr. Shakeel Ahmed

Srinagar :

Life has come full circle for a 31-year-old scientist from the border district of Rajouri, who has become one of the youngest Indians to figure on Stanford University’s list of top 2 percent scientists in the world.

Dr. Shakeel Ahmed, Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry in Government Degree College, Mendhar, has published research papers on green nanomaterials and biopolymers for various applications including biomedical, packaging, and water treatment.

He has penned more than 15 books on polymers, nanomaterials, and green materials. The database of the independent study has been published in one of the highly-rated journals, `PLOS Biology’. He is a member of American Chemical Society and Royal Society of Chemistry.

“It is a moment of gratification to be on the list. It will inspire the young generation of Jammu and Kashmir to work for furthering science especially from Pir Panjal region”, Dr. Shakeel said.

It was a hard-earned success for a 31-year-old scientist who lost his father when he was just a year old.

“I was just one year old when my father passed away. At that time there was no breadwinner in my family. I had suffered a lot during my childhood and sometimes it was difficult for me to continue my studies. I am first generation learner in my family”, he said.

Principal of GDC, Mendhar, Dileep K. Raina said it is a matter of great pride that Dr Shakeel has featured on the prestigious list. “It is a matter of great pride for Government Degree College Mendhar that Dr. Shakeel Ahmed of the Department of Chemistry (GDCM) has been named among the top 2% scientists of the world in the field of polymer chemistry,” said the college in a statement.

Stanford University recently released a list of 1,59,683 top 2 percent of most-cited scientists in various disciplines. It includes 1,500 Indians and most of them are from IITs, IISc, and other top institutions.

Hailing from Dhangri village, Dr. Shakeel completed his B.Sc from Government PG College, Rajouri. He completed M.Sc in 2012 from Dr. Saiqa Ikram Department of Chemistry, Jamia Milia Islamia. In 2016, he completed his Ph.D. from Jamia Milia Islamia.

For the last three and a half years, he is serving as an assistant professor in GDC, Mendhar in Poonch district. He has authored numerous books that are available on Amazon and other platforms.

Some of the books include `Green and Sustainable Materials: Processing and Characterization’, `Alginates:  Applications in the Biomedical and Food Industries and `Marine Polysaccharides: Advances and Multifaceted Applications’.
