2 RAS aspirants on hunger strike at RU shifted to SMS Hospital
2
Jaipur: The health condition of two girls on hunger strike at Rajasthan University (RU), demanding the postponment of RAS Mains exams, deteriorated and they were rushed to SMS Hospital Sunday.
The RAS Mains aspirants were in protest at RU since Wednesday night, with at least six students on an indefinite hunger strike. However, due to the heat, the health of two girls deteriorated, with one of them fainting, and they were rushed to the hospital for medical assistance.
"The peaceful hunger strike demanding postponement of the date of the RAS Main Exam 2024 has now turned into a serious health crisis. The candidates repeatedly appealed to chief minister and ministers to come to the protest site, talk, and end the agitation by taking a positive decision.
But no concrete response has been received so far," said one of the aspirants.
The RAS Mains 2024 exam is scheduled to take place on June 17-18, but aspirants pointed out that the interviews for RAS 2023 are currently in progress, with the results pending announcement. Candidates demanded that the Mains exam should be conducted after the interview results for the previous recruitment process are announced.
"In the scorching 40–42-degree temperature, the students have been on hunger strike for over the past 60 hours without eating or drinking anything. The condition is continuously deteriorating. Now the question arises that if the life of any student is in danger, who will take responsibility for it?" said Deepak Kaushik, one of the protesters.

Why Evidence based Robotic Surgery Is Becoming the New Standard of Care
New Delhi: In an era where precision is paramount and patient recovery is prioritised more than ever, robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is no longer a futuristic concept—it is rapidly becoming the gold standard in operating rooms across the globe, and increasingly, in India. Once reserved for complex prostatectomies, robotic surgery today spans a wide range of specialties—from gynecology and gastrointestinal surgery to thoracic and oncologic procedures—delivering consistent benefits for both patients and surgeons. Dr. Myriam Curet, Global Chief Medical Officer, Intuitive Surgical , emphasises that the original value of RAS was in converting open surgeries into minimally invasive ones—a breakthrough that radically reduced hospital stays, post-operative complications, and improved patient outcomes. 'We started in urology where minimal access options were limited,' says Dr. Curet. 'But as evidence grew, we saw the benefits expand to patients previously considered inoperable via laparoscopy, those with high BMI or advanced disease. Now, robotics isn't just an alternative to open surgery, it's proving superior even to laparoscopy in many cases.' The Evidence Speaks A landmark study published in Annals of Surgery, dubbed the COMPARE Study, analysed over a million patients across seven cancer procedures and multiple countries. It found that RAS significantly reduced hospital stay, readmission, complication rates, and blood transfusions—despite a marginally longer operating time. Crucially, conversion rates (where a minimally invasive surgery has to be converted to open mid-procedure) were reduced by more than half with robotic approaches, a game-changer for patient trust and recovery. 'Conversion is traumatic for patients who come in expecting a short stay and walk out with a large incision and longer recovery,' says Dr. Curet. 'Robotics dramatically lowers this risk.' For Dr. Venkat P, a senior consultant robotic surgeon, Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai, the impact has been nothing short of transformative. 'From reduced ICU stays and wound infections to faster discharge, RAS has become a blessing, especially for elderly or high-risk patients,' he explains. 'In the past, a major surgery meant 10-12 days in the hospital. Now? Two to three days.' He estimates a 40 per cent increase in surgical volumes at his center since adopting RAS. Many patients now actively request robotic surgery even switching hospitals or doctors to access it. 'Our best advocates are patients themselves,' he notes. Dr. Priya Kapoor, a consultant robotic surgical oncologist at Apollo Cancer Centres, highlights the remarkable reduction in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). 'Our wound infection rate is Beyond infection control, oncologic precision has seen a leap. 'The robotic camera gives us a 10x magnified view, and the instruments offer unmatched dexterity. We can dissect and remove lymph nodes from locations human hands can't reach,' Dr. Kapoor adds. Procedures like robotic Whipple (a procedure to treat tumors and other conditions in the pancreas, small intestine and bile ducts) once deemed too complex are now regularly performed by experienced teams in India. 'Five years ago, robotic colorectal surgeries were rare. Today, they're standard of care,' says Dr. Kapoor. 'Soon, Whipple's will be, too.' Surgeons themselves are seeing improved quality of life. Dr. Curet, a practicing general and bariatric surgeon, recounts how ergonomics was one of the reasons she embraced RAS. 'Laparoscopic bariatric surgery took a toll on long hours, awkward postures, and physical strain. The robot changed that. I could operate comfortably, and my trainees learned faster, cutting learning curves from 100 to 40 cases.' For Dr Vishal Soni, Robotic Gastrointestinal, Hernia - AWR, and Obesity Surgeon, Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, the biggest advantage of RAS lies in its predictability. 'With sub-millimeter precision, what I imagine as a surgeon is what I execute. Outcomes become more predictable, and that brings confidence to both me and my patient,' he says. Dr. Venkat echoes this: 'You're seated, relaxed, focused. Less physical exertion, better mental clarity. It's a win-win.' The Cost Conundrum: Short-Term vs Long-Term While RAS has been criticized for its higher upfront cost, surgeons argue that total cost of care must be considered. With shorter hospital stays, fewer infections, reduced ICU needs, and faster return to normal life, robotic surgery often ends up being more economical in the long run—especially when factoring in caregiver time, income loss, and quality of life. Dr. Venkat summarises it aptly: 'It's not just the hospital bill. Robotic surgery saves time, stress, and resources, for both the patient and their family.' As surgical oncology , GI, gynecology, and thoracic surgery continue to embrace RAS, it's becoming clear that robotic platforms are not just the future, they are the present. With India producing world-class evidence, expanding surgeon training, and deepening patient awareness, the shift is no longer just technological, it's transformational. In the next decade, as Dr. Venkat predicts, 'We won't be talking about robotic surgery. It will just be surgery.'

Rajasthan: Kithana locals recall Jagdeep Dhankhar's lasting legacy
Jaipur: Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation as Vice President of India, citing health concerns, has sent shockwaves across the nation and especially in his native district of Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan. The announcement came unexpectedly on the very first day of the monsoon session of Parliament. Known for his dynamic leadership and administrative efficiency, Dhankhar's sudden departure has left his hometown of Kithana in a state of deep emotional unrest, with villagers gathering late into the night to discuss the news. Villager Hirendra Dhankhar recalled the Vice President's pivotal role in Kithana's transformation. Under his efforts, the village witnessed significant development - including the construction of a college, a stadium, an Ayurvedic hospital, and other key infrastructure. A survey for a National Highway passing through the village also commenced under his guidance. His family actively contributed to the local Gaushala and government schools, further enhancing the village's social and educational landscape. Kithana Sarpanch Subhita says that Dhankhar has contributed a lot to the development of the village. There is a sense of despair in the village due to this news, she added. Despite holding high offices, Dhankhar remained deeply rooted in Kithana. His wife, Sudesh Dhankhar, often visited the village, engaging with locals and following up on development projects. "Whether he remains in office or not, for us he will always be the Vice President," said villagers, many of whom were tearful upon hearing the news. Subhita said a sense of despair has engulfed the village. His nephew, Harendra Dhankhar, shared that Sudesh had mentioned during her July visit that the Vice President had recently undergone a heart operation. Jagdeep Dhankhar was born on 18 May 1951 in Kithana village, Chidawa tehsil. He completed his primary education in government schools in Kithana and Ghardana and pursued higher education at Rajasthan University, where he earned a law degree. A distinguished senior advocate in the Supreme Court, he entered public life when he won the 1989 Lok Sabha election from Jhunjhunu as a Janata Dal candidate backed by the BJP. He served as Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs from 21 April to 5 November 1990. Although he later contested the 1991 elections as a Congress candidate and lost, he was elected as an MLA from Kishangarh (Ajmer) in 1993. Prior to becoming Vice President, he served as the Governor of West Bengal. He is the second of three brothers - the elder, Kuldeep Dhankhar, owns a construction company, and the younger, Randeep Dhankhar, has served as Chairman of the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC). After taking oath as the 14th Vice President of India on 11 August 2022, Dhankhar continued to maintain close ties with his home region. He visited Kithana for the first time as Vice President on 8 September 2022 and participated in various cultural and educational events. These included the Swami Vivekananda Sandesh Yatra inauguration on 19 November 2022, an interaction with students at Sainik School on 27 August 2023, temple visits to Lohargal and the Rani Sati Dadi Temple, and a student address at BITS Pilani on 27 September 2023. He also launched the 'Swachhata Hi Seva 2024' campaign in Jhunjhunu and visited Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kajda, on 20 November 2024. On 5 March 2025, he interacted with students at Mahatma Gandhi English Medium School in Sangasi and attended a relative's wedding on the same day. Known for his love for the land and his deep commitment to education, Dhankhar frequently engaged with school children. He often invited them to Delhi at government expense, encouraging them to aim high. He inspired students across institutions like Sainik School, Pilani, Sangasi, and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kajda, and even donated a Smart TV to the Sangasi Government School, underscoring his belief in digital learning. However, his health began deteriorating in March 2025. He suffered a heart attack and was admitted to AIIMS Delhi on 9 March, where stents were inserted. He was discharged on 12 March, but his health again declined during a visit to Uttarakhand on 25 June, requiring immediate medical care. Although his term was set to conclude on 10 August 2027, Dhankhar resigned nearly two years early, prioritising his health based on medical advice. His resignation surprised many, especially since he had actively participated in Rajya Sabha proceedings earlier that day. In his resignation letter, he cited his decision as one made in the interest of his well-being. Historically, only two other Vice Presidents - V.V. Giri (1969) and R. Venkataraman (1987) - have resigned, both to assume the office of President. Jagdeep Dhankhar, now become the first Vice President in India's history to step down solely due to health reasons. His departure has not only created a vacuum in national politics but has also left a personal void among the people of Kithana, who will always remember him as a proud son of the soil and a lifelong source of inspiration, said locals.
