Guided by this year’s pivotal national theme, "Unlocking the Potential of Administrative Data," the event bridged historical legacy with modern, cutting-edge advancements.

The celebration kicked off with an insightful industrial lecture by Mr. Reetabrata Bhattacharyya (Senior Principal Biostatistician, Merck Specialist Pvt. Ltd.).
