Centre for Sight, one of India’s leading eye-care networks, has strengthened its clinical capabilities in Guwahati with the joining of Dr. Sanjoy Kumar Buragohain, an ophthalmologist with 28 years of experience in the field of ophthalmology.

The addition of Dr. Buragohain will further strengthen Centre for Sight Guwahati’s capabilities in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmic conditions, cataract and comprehensive ophthalmology, helping patients across Guwahati, Assam and the Northeast access specialised eye care closer to home.

Centre for Sight has built a strong presence across the country with a network of 95 hospitals, 350+ doctors and more than 15 lakh patients served annually. With 30 years of experience in eye care, the organisation continues to expand access to specialised ophthalmic care while strengthening clinical expertise across its hospitals in India.

Dr. Buragohain completed his MBBS from Guwahati Medical College, followed by MS in Ophthalmology from Assam Medical College and DNB in Ophthalmology. He also pursued specialised training in glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmology at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai. His experience spans medical and surgical ophthalmology, with a strong focus on glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology and cataract care.

A key area of focus at Centre for Sight Guwahati will be the comprehensive diagnosis and management of glaucoma, a condition that can gradually damage the optic nerve and, if not detected and managed in time, may lead to irreversible vision loss.

Glaucoma evaluation may include intraocular pressure measurement, gonioscopy, corneal thickness assessment or pachymetry, optic nerve evaluation, visual field testing or perimetry, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for assessment of the retinal nerve fibre layer and optic nerve. These investigations help doctors assess the type and stage of glaucoma, monitor progression and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Depending on the type and severity of glaucoma, treatment may include eye-pressure-lowering medications, laser procedures and surgical interventions. Surgical options can include Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage devices or valve procedures, based on the patient’s clinical condition. Laser procedures like laser peripheral iridotomy may also be considered for appropriate patients.

Dr. Buragohain’s expertise in neuro-ophthalmology will further strengthen the evaluation of patients with vision problems linked to the optic nerve, brain and neurological pathways. Neuro-ophthalmic conditions may present with symptoms such as unexplained reduction in vision, double vision, optic nerve abnormalities, visual field defects or other complex visual disturbances that require detailed assessment to identify the underlying cause.

Cataract care will also form an important part of his clinical practice at Centre for Sight Guwahati, including evaluation, surgical planning and management using modern cataract surgery techniques and appropriate intraocular lens options based on individual patient requirements.

Commenting on the development, Prof. (Dr.) Mahipal S. Sachdev, Chairman and Medical Director, Centre for Sight, said, “Our focus at Centre for Sight has always been to bring strong clinical expertise closer to patients. As we expand our presence across the country, we are equally focused on strengthening specialist capabilities at each of our hospitals. Dr. Buragohain’s experience in glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology and comprehensive eye care will further strengthen the care available to patients in Guwahati and the Northeast.”

Speaking about joining Centre for Sight, Dr. Sanjoy Kumar Buragohain said, “Several eye conditions, particularly glaucoma, can progress without significant symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye examinations, appropriate diagnostic testing and timely treatment are therefore extremely important. I look forward to working with the team at Centre for Sight and contributing my experience in glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, cataract and comprehensive ophthalmology to the care of patients in the region.”

In addition to glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology and cataract care, Centre for Sight Guwahati provides comprehensive eye-care services across retina, cornea, refractive errors and vision correction, paediatric ophthalmology, squint and other medical and surgical eye conditions, supported by diagnostic and treatment facilities designed to address different stages of a patient’s eye-care journey.

The strengthening of the Guwahati clinical team reflects Centre for Sight’s larger commitment to combining specialist expertise, appropriate technology and patient-focused care across its network of hospitals throughout the country.

Open House is about giving adults a chance to step into KidZania, rediscover that feeling and have some fun with their friends, colleagues or siblings. We are excited to bring it back to NCR and invite people to come in, put the phones aside, compete a little, try something new, laugh a lot and simply have fun together.”

Northeast India swings between heavier downpours and longer dry spells, signalling monsoon instability: 52-year study.

A 52-year analysis of India’s weather (1971–2022) finds Northeast India is the only part of the country where short, intense one-day downpours are clearly on the rise.

At the same time the region is seeing more frequent dry spells, a whiplash the authors read as growing monsoon instability.

The study calls for flood preparedness and rainfall-variability management to be the priority for the northeast.

A new national study tracking India’s weather from 1971 to 2022 finds that Northeast India is caught between two opposite extremes, heavier single-day downpours on one side and longer dry spells on the other. The finding covers the region as a whole, which spans Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.

The study, titled ‘Evolution of Climate Extremes Over the Indian Subcontinent Using a Revised CEI’ and published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Climatology by scientists at the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), combined seven separate hazards, among them daytime heat, humid heat, heatwave severity and drought, into a single India Climate Extremes Index built on 52 years of IMD observations, with trends tested using the Mann-Kendall method.

The northeast is the only region where the study finds a clear, statistically significant rise in extreme one-day rainfall, which the authors link to a warming Bay of Bengal, greater atmospheric moisture and the region’s complex terrain. At the same time, dry spells and drought are becoming more frequent.

Taken together, the authors read this as growing instability in the monsoon over the northeast, rather than a simple shift towards wetter or drier conditions.

“The northeast is the one region swinging between extremes, heavier single-day downpours on one side and longer dry spells on the other. That combination points to a more unstable monsoon, and it calls for both flood preparedness and drought planning.”— M. Rajeevan, co-author, Atria University, Bengaluru

“The northeast is the only part of the country where we see a clear rise in short, intense one-day rainfall, even as dry spells lengthen. It stands apart from the heat-and-drought story that dominates the rest of India.”— Thota Mohan, lead author, National Centre for Medium Range Weather

Forecasting :What the study recommends

The study names strengthening flood preparedness and rainfall-variability management as the priority for the northeast. It argues for a cross-sectoral response across agriculture, water management, health and infrastructure, and for finer-scale monitoring, since averages across the region can mask the localised extremes that drive flood and drought risk. The authors propose the index as an operational tool that agencies can run each year to track where stress is building.

After surviving the devastating floods in Nagaland and sustaining multiple serious injuries, 53-year-old elephant Joymoti has now reached Vantara in Jamnagar. She is currently under specialised veterinary care and receiving treatment for the injuries and health complications she sustained. Joymoti was swept away by floodwaters in Nagaland during the second week of July. She was subsequently rescued by local communities with support from government agencies. The ordeal left her with several injuries, including wounds to her forehead, right ear, the area above her tail, left inner thigh, and abdomen. She also sustained a deep, maggot-infested wound around her external genital area. Her right eye has been severely damaged, leaving her blind in that eye and experiencing persistent tearing.

Adding to these challenges, Joymoti has longstanding lameness in her left hind leg caused by a fracture sustained during logging. The condition affects her mobility and makes everyday activities such as reaching food and water more difficult.

She received immediate first aid and primary veterinary care following her rescue, including wound dressing, pain management, multivitamin and mineral supplementation and supportive treatment. However, the number and severity of her injuries, combined with her age and existing mobility limitations, mean that she now requires a higher level of specialised veterinary intervention.

Her journey to Vantara is being undertaken specifically to address these medical needs. Air transport has been chosen to minimise the time and physical demands associated with a long-distance ground journey, allowing Joymoti to reach a specialised elephant hospital as quickly and safely as possible. At Vantara, she will undergo a comprehensive veterinary examination to assess her overall health and determine the course of treatment. Her care will include specialised management of her wounds and eye condition, along with nutritional, medical and supportive care tailored to her recovery.

A Carefully Planned Medical Airlift: Airlifting an elephant for intensive medical treatment is a first-of-its-kind undertaking in India and requires meticulous coordination between veterinary, animal-care and logistics teams. During Joymoti’s transfer to Vantara, her health and welfare remained the priority throughout the process. Her condition is assessed before the journey, while specialised protocols are followed for her handling, loading, monitoring during the flight, and arrival at the hospital. Every stage was carefully managed to minimise stress, discomfort and physical exertion. For an elephant coping with multiple injuries and mobility limitations, shortening the duration of a long-distance journey is especially important. Air transport helps avoid the physical strain of prolonged ground travel while enabling Joymoti to reach specialised veterinary care in a shorter period.

Building Veterinary Capacity Closer to Wildlife Habitats: Joymoti’s experience also brings attention to the need for specialised wildlife healthcare facilities in regions where animals are exposed to emergencies such as floods and human-wildlife conflict.

To help strengthen local veterinary response, Vantara has proposed three wildlife veterinary care centres in Assam, including a dedicated elephant facility. These centres are envisioned to provide species-specific infrastructure and veterinary support, allowing wildlife requiring urgent intervention to receive appropriate care closer to where emergencies occur.

The proposed facilities would function independently under the Assam Forest Department. The aim is to strengthen local capacity and reduce the need for animals to undertake long-distance journeys whenever specialised treatment can be provided closer to their habitat.

Joymoti’s transfer to Vantara is strictly for medical treatment and is not a permanent relocation. Once she has recovered and is medically fit to return, she will go back to her natural habitat.

For now, the priority is simple: giving Joymoti the specialised treatment, nutrition and support she needs to recover and regain the best possible quality of life.

As startups and businesses increasingly rely on external technology partners to build digital products, clearly defining ownership and delivery of source code has become a key aspect of software development agreements. For businesses investing in digital platforms, access to source code is essential for maintaining, scaling and further developing their products, making well-drafted contracts and milestone-based delivery obligations increasingly important.

With cross-border technology collaborations becoming more common, questions around software ownership, project deliverables and intellectual property are drawing greater attention from businesses. Industry experts say software development agreements should clearly define source code ownership, delivery timelines, access rights and preservation of digital assets to help minimise uncertainty and support business continuity.

A recent commercial matter involving Florida-based technology company I-Chrono LLC and Delhi-based software development company Fluper Limited has brought these considerations into focus. According to the pleadings, the matter relates to contractual obligations concerning the delivery of software source code under software development agreements. I-Chrono LLC is represented in the matter by King Stubb & Kasiva (KSK).

According to the pleadings, I-Chrono engaged Fluper in January 2025 to develop a mobile application and web platform for an online luxury watch marketplace, followed by a subsequent engagement for an AI-based luxury watch authentication feature. The company has stated that payments were made under the agreements and has alleged that the agreed source code and related project materials were not delivered despite repeated requests. It has further stated that the software required multiple revisions during development and that the AI functionality did not perform as expected during testing.

According to the pleadings, after I-Chrono sought suspension of the projects and requested delivery of the source code and related project materials, the materials were not released, ultimately leading the parties to seek legal resolution. The company has also stated that the delays affected its planned commercial rollout and fundraising efforts, and it has sought appropriate civil remedies, including delivery of the disputed source code and related project materials.

During the course of the matter, interim directions were passed for preservation of the disputed source code and associated electronic records while the contractual issues are being examined. The matter is currently under consideration, and the contractual claims of the parties are yet to be finally determined.

The matter highlights the importance of clearly drafted software development agreements that define source code ownership, delivery obligations, intellectual property rights and preservation of digital assets. As businesses increasingly collaborate with technology partners across borders, clear contractual frameworks can help reduce uncertainty and support smoother project execution

The Deputy General Manager (DGM) of NEDFi, Shri Prashanta Kumar Talukdar, inaugurated the Guwahati branch of Pro Health Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, one of Manipur’s leading and trusted physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinics, marking a significant milestone in expanding access to evidence-based physiotherapy and comprehensive rehabilitation services in Assam and the Northeast.

With a strong reputation for delivering patient-centric rehabilitation and helping thousands of individuals regain mobility, reduce pain and return to their daily lives, Pro Health aims to support the growing need for quality physiotherapy services in Guwahati.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, musculoskeletal disorders, sports injuries, post-surgical complications, neurological conditions and chronic pain have become increasingly common. Many individuals continue to live with pain due to delayed treatment, dependence on pain medication, or lack of access to specialised rehabilitation. Pro Health seeks to bridge this gap by providing scientific, personalised and goal-oriented treatment plans that focus on identifying and treating the root cause of pain rather than merely managing symptoms.

The clinic offers specialised rehabilitation for neck and back pain, frozen shoulder, arthritis, sports injuries, ligament and tendon injuries, post-fracture rehabilitation, post-operative recovery following joint replacement and spine surgeries, stroke rehabilitation, neurological disorders, balance and gait training, geriatric rehabilitation, women’s health physiotherapy, and ergonomic consultation. Every treatment programme is tailored to the patient’s condition, lifestyle and recovery goals.

Speaking on the occasion, the management of Pro Health Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic said:”Pain should never become a way of life. Our mission has always been to help people move better, recover faster and live pain-free through evidence-based physiotherapy and compassionate care. With our expansion to Guwahati, we are committed to bringing the same standards of clinical excellence and personalised rehabilitation that have earned the trust of patients in Manipur. We believe every patient deserves access to quality rehabilitation that restores not just movement, but confidence and independence.”

Unlike conventional approaches that often focus solely on temporary pain relief, Pro Health emphasises comprehensive assessment, functional rehabilitation, patient education, movement correction and preventive care. The clinic combines modern rehabilitation techniques with internationally accepted physiotherapy practices to ensure safe, effective and long-term recovery.

The launch of the Guwahati clinic reflects Pro Health’s vision of making high-quality rehabilitation services accessible throughout the Northeast while promoting awareness about the importance of early intervention and preventive physiotherapy. Whether recovering from an injury, surgery, neurological condition, or managing chronic pain, patients receive personalised care under the guidance of experienced physiotherapy professionals.

Residents of Guwahati and neighbouring areas are invited to visit the clinic for comprehensive physiotherapy assessment and rehabilitation consultation.

Kaziranga University unveiled an ambitious roadmap to position itself as a strategic knowledge and innovation partner in the transformation of Assam and the North-East through globally connected education, cutting-edge research, entrepreneurship and industry collaboration.

Addressing the press conference, Shri Basant Khetan, Pro Chancellor of Kaziranga University, said the University is entering a new phase of institution building that aligns with the aspirations of Viksit Assam and Viksit Bharat 2047.

“The future of universities lies beyond awarding degrees. Universities must become engines of innovation, entrepreneurship, skill development and societal transformation. Our vision is to build Kaziranga University into a nationally respected institution that empowers youth, strengthens communities and contributes directly to the sustainable development of Assam and the North-East.”

Assam’s Moment Has Arrived:

The Pro Chancellor observed that Assam is experiencing one of the most significant periods of development in its history. Massive investments in infrastructure, healthcare, digital connectivity, logistics, advanced manufacturing and sustainable development are transforming the State into India’s gateway to the East.

He noted that the expanding strategic partnership between India and Japan, together with increasing global interest in the North-East, is expected to create unprecedented opportunities in sectors such as sustainable agriculture, silk and sericulture, food processing, river and water management, flood resilience, biodiversity, climate adaptation, advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and future technologies. Kaziranga University believes that the greatest beneficiaries of this transformation should be the youth of Assam.

From Vision to Action:

The University announced several strategic initiatives that demonstrate its commitment to translating vision into measurable outcomes.

Among the major initiatives are:

₹1 Crore KU Startup Fund to nurture student-led innovation and entrepreneurship

₹3 Crore Scholarship Programme to ensure that deserving students are not denied quality education due to financial constraints.

Establishment of the Intel AI Lab to prepare students for the rapidly expanding Artificial Intelligence ecosystem.

Introduction of specialized programmes in Electric Vehicle Technology and Industrial Robotics, aligned with India’s manufacturing and mobility transition.

Internationally recognised Data Analytics programmes in collaboration with the Institute of Analytics (UK).

Industry-focused experiential learning through initiatives such as the Bajaj General Quest Hackathon and PwC Launchpad.

These initiatives reflect the University’s commitment to creating graduates who are globally competitive, industry-ready and innovation-driven.

Preparing Students for Tomorrow:

Recognizing the transformation envisaged under the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), Kaziranga University is redesigning its academic ecosystem around future-ready, demand-driven and multidisciplinary education.

Future programmes will increasingly focus on Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Technologies, Semiconductor Technologies, Smart Agriculture, Brahmaputra River Studies, Climate Resilience, Nature-Based Solutions, Healthcare Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Global Employability.

The University believes that success will no longer be measured merely by producing graduates, but by nurturing problem solvers, innovators, entrepreneurs and job creators.

Connecting Assam with the World:

The University believes that the global higher education landscape is changing rapidly.

Internationally reputed universities are establishing collaborations and academic centers in India. While many have initially focused on metropolitan cities, they are increasingly seeking talented students, credible academic partners and meaningful engagement with India’s diverse regions.

Kaziranga University is proactively positioning itself as a bridge between the talented youth of the North-East and leading universities, industries and research institutions across the world through international collaborations, joint research, faculty exchanges, dual-degree pathways and globally benchmarked academic programs.

The University’s vision is simple: To make the North-East not merely a supplier of talented students, but a globally recognized center of knowledge, innovation and research.

Academic Leadership for a New Era:

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. M. L. Gaur, Vice Chancellor, who assumed office in February 2026, outlined the University’s academic roadmap. With over 41 years of multifaceted professional experience across seven Indian states, Dr. Gaur has served premier research institutions, agricultural universities and private universities in diverse leadership positions including Scientist, Professor, Head of Department, Dean, Founder Principal and Vice Chancellor. His work spans research, institutional development, engineering education, natural resource management, water resources, academic governance, innovation ecosystems and public policy, with leadership of numerous national projects and collaborations with government, industry and international organizations.

“The next decade belongs to the North-East. Universities cannot continue teaching yesterday’s curriculum for tomorrow’s economy. We are preparing students for careers that are still emerging by integrating knowledge with skills, research with innovation, and education with entrepreneurship. Our objective is to transform job seekers into job creators.” Dr. Gaur added that, during the past five months, he has witnessed Assam’s exceptional scientific potential, entrepreneurial energy and cultural richness.

“Every region possesses unique strengths waiting to be unlocked. Assam has all the ingredients to become one of India’s leading knowledge and innovation regions. Kaziranga University is committed to converting these strengths into globally competitive education, research, innovation and sustainable livelihoods.”

Partnership as the New Model:

The University reaffirmed its commitment to building a robust ecosystem of PublicPrivatePeople Partnerships (PPPP).

Kaziranga University is expanding collaborations with premier institutions including CSIRNEIST, Tocklai Tea Research Institute, AIIMS, IITs, NITs and leading industries. Advanced discussions are also underway with organizations such as Apollo Hospitals, NEC Japan, Intel, Edulateral, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to strengthen research, skill development, internships, innovation and employment opportunities for students.

A University Rooted in Assam, Connected to the World

Located in Jorhat, the cultural capital of Assam, Kaziranga University is uniquely positioned to integrate education with the region’s ecological, agricultural, scientific and cultural strengths. The University aspires to become a globally connected institution where local wisdom meets global knowledge, research addresses regional challenges and education contributes directly to sustainable development, entrepreneurship and inclusive growth.

Concluding the press conference, Shri Basant Khetan reaffirmed the University’s commitment to working closely with the Government of Assam, industry, research institutions and society to build a stronger Assam and a stronger North-East through education, innovation and collaboration.
