During his recent visit to Uzbekistan, Mr. Om Birla, the Honorable Speaker of the Lok Sabha, had a heartwarming and inspiring interaction with the brilliant and enthusiastic Indian students studying at Samarkand Medical University. His visit served not only as a bridge of goodwill but also as a beacon of encouragement for the young minds pursuing their dreams far from home.
Mr. Birla shared with the students the remarkable transformation that India is undergoing. He proudly described New India as a true “Land of Opportunities,” emphasizing the sweeping reforms taking place across every sector — from education to healthcare, technology to infrastructure. His message was clear: today’s India is dynamic, progressive, and full of promise for those who aspire to make a difference.
In particular, he highlighted national initiatives like Ayushman Bharat, which has revolutionized the healthcare landscape in India. Through this ambitious program, millions of citizens have gained access to quality healthcare services, and with it, the demand for skilled and compassionate medical professionals has soared. Mr. Birla emphasized that such initiatives are creating abundant opportunities for young doctors and healthcare practitioners, making it an exciting time to be entering the field.
Expressing confidence in the students, Mr. Birla conveyed his hope that their global educational experience at Samarkand Medical University would further enrich their skills and perspectives. He encouraged them to channel their international exposure toward greater success in their medical careers, contributing both to India’s growth story and the global healthcare community.
The interaction left the students feeling motivated, proud, and connected to the larger vision of a rapidly advancing India. It was a powerful reminder that even as they study abroad, they are an integral part of the nation’s bright future.
