Jammu, April 15, 2025 – Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today launched the Pediatric Education Network Portal, a groundbreaking digital platform curated by renowned pediatrician and academician Dr. Suraj Gupte, at a ceremony held at Raj Bhawan, Jammu. This free-to-access online resource, accessible at https://drsurajgupte.com/, aims to revolutionize pediatric healthcare education by providing medical professionals, students, and institutions with comprehensive, up-to-date tools to enhance child health knowledge and practice.
The paediatric Education Network serves as a centralised hub, offering a wealth of resources including lectures, clinical guidelines, case studies, interactive modules, and expert insights. Designed to bridge geographical and academic gaps, the user-friendly portal empowers practitioners and learners worldwide with credible content to improve pediatric care. “This initiative is a milestone in making quality paediatric education accessible to all,” said Lieutenant Governor Sinha, congratulating Dr. Gupte and his team for their visionary effort.
The launch event saw the presence of distinguished healthcare professionals and prominent citizens, including Dr. Sanjeev K. Digra, Dr. Ashok Gupta, Dr. Ghanshyam Saini, Dr. Sunil Dutt Sharma, Dr. Kewal Samnotra, and Dr. Gotam Goel. Other notable attendees included Shri Rakesh Gupta, former President of CCI Jammu, and members of the Pediatric Education Network Foundation, namely Shri Subhash Gupte, Smt. Shamma Bakshi, Shri Rajendra Gupte, and Shri Robin Bakshi.
Dr. Suraj Gupte, a leading figure in paediatric academia, expressed his commitment to advancing child healthcare through this platform, which aligns with Jammu’s broader developmental goals, such as the Tawi Riverfront’s transformation into a cultural and ecological hub. The portal’s launch underscores the region’s focus on innovation and education, complementing initiatives like the upcoming Amarnath Yatra 2025, which will draw thousands to Jammu for spiritual and community activities.
The Pediatric Education Network is poised to become a vital resource for the global medical community, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing to ensure better health outcomes for children. This initiative marks a significant step toward inclusive and accessible education, reinforcing Jammu’s role as a hub for progressive healthcare advancements.
