I got into medical school on "merit" - 60th on general category list in Mumbai 1982. Have a Gold Medal at MD exams Mumbai University. Let me tell you something: Merit is a myth. It's all about privilege, social capital, access to resources & hence opportunity.

Excited that I will be leading the Technical Resource Center at ICMR-NIRT and working along with Department of Health Research, MoHFW in formulating clinical guidelines and policies. Our special focus will be on evidence synthesis in diagnostic test accuracy.
