Army's professionalism is unmatched. But I wish these visits weren't just PR exercises. The real test is whether the promised infrastructure actually gets built on time. Trivandrum is strategically important for southern India, so let's hope this visit translates into action.

Interesting to see the AIOS-AFOU 2026 conference mentioned alongside military station visit. Combining medical expertise from AIIMS and Sankara Netralaya with military ophthalmologists is a smart move. Eye care for soldiers is critical - imagine a sniper or pilot with vision issues!

Appreciate the focus on welfare and modernisation, but why are these conferences always in Delhi? Bengaluru or Hyderabad would be more central for southern ophthalmologists. Also, 200 delegates seems small for a national event - could involve more regional specialists.

Good to see the government's emphasis on 'future-ready' Army. But we also need to focus on mental health of soldiers and their families, not just infrastructure and operational readiness. Army wives and children sacrifice a lot too. Welfare should include psychological support systems.

Using MoS visit to also promote an ophthalmology conference is smart - shows military isn't just about guns and bombs. 👏 The list of institutes involved is impressive. Hope this leads to better eye care availability in military hospitals across the country.
