Porunai Hospitals, a multi-speciality hospital, puts Tirunelveli in the spotlight with the successful completion of the region’s first-ever advanced Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) lobectomy – a breakthrough in lung lobe resection! This complex, minimally invasive procedure-once limited to large metropolitan healthcare centres-is a pioneering step towards making advanced thoracic care accessible to patients in South Tamil Nadu.

Minimally invasive VATS lobectomy at Porunai Hospital using small incisions and a camera to reduce lung trauma and speed up recovery

By achieving this significant milestone, Porunai Hospitals alleviates the need for conventional open thoracotomy – an approach that requires a very large incision, often necessitating the breaking of ribs to access the lung. Resection through open thoracotomy causes considerable discomfort and pain, increases the risk of complications, and prolongs the recovery period.

The advanced VATS technique, however, requires only a single, small incision through which a specialised camera and other surgical instruments are inserted to perform the complete resection of the lung lobe – with remarkable precision and without the need for a large cut or rib spreading.

Porunai Hospitals is proud to introduce this advanced surgery that benefits patients with:

• Reduced surgical trauma and post-operative pain

• Smaller incisions and minimum risk of infection

• Shorter hospital stay and expedited hospital discharge

• Quicker post-surgical recovery and return to routine activities

Their surgical precision and medical expertise were pivotal in navigating the complexities of this procedure. Porunai Hospitals’ anaesthesiology and critical care teams also deserve special recognition for meticulously managing the patient’s physiological vitals throughout the procedure. With this multi-disciplinary approach, Porunai Hospitals is alleviating the need to seek long-distance medical care.

“This VATS procedure is a significant advancement for thoracic surgery here in South Tamil Nadu,” said Dr D.R. Sivakumar, Medical Superintendent, Head of Surgery Division, General and Laparoscopic Surgeon. “We are now able to offer patients requiring lung resection a far less traumatic option with faster recovery and better outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. Performing this here at Porunai Hospitals underscores our commitment to bringing the latest surgical techniques and the highest standards of care closer to our community”, he further elaborated. Dr D.R. Sivakumar concluded, saying, “It’s a testament to the collaborative expertise of our surgical and anaesthesiology teams.”

In addition to this landmark achievement, a spokesperson from Porunai Hospitals highlighted another key clinical milestone – the successful completion of 660 procedures across various specialities since the hospital’s establishment in November 2024.

Among these, the most frequently performed procedures were:

• Coronary Angiogram

• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

• Urological procedures, including:

1. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

2. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

• Laparoscopic Appendectomy

About Porunai Hospitals
Porunai Hospitals is one of Tirunelveli’s top healthcare destinations in the South Tamil Nadu region – offering a top-notch, comprehensive range of medical services with a focus on an empathetic, patient-centric care approach.

Anant National University, in collaboration with the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, United States (also known as Penn GSE), hosted the Indigenous Consciousness Education Research Methodology Convening on 25-26 July 2025 at the Anant campus. The convening brought together leading scholars, education policy experts and practitioners to explore Indigenous Consciousness research methodologies, establishing the foundation for an India-based research project – Indigenous Consciousness Methodology Education Research Project (ICER).

Anant National University & Penn GSE Host ICERM 2025 to Develop India-based Indigenous Research Project

The convening marked a significant step in advancing Indigenous Consciousness Methodologies, an approach that honours local knowledge systems, prioritises community-engaged practices and fosters sustainable, equitable educational frameworks. Through ICER, set to be launched for the academic year 2025-2026, Anant aims to inform the design and development of education policy by ensuring that Indigenous perspectives remain central to shaping impactful and culturally responsive learning models.

This initiative is closely aligned with the vision outlined in India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which advocates for inclusive, locally grounded education models that preserve and promote indigenous knowledge systems.

Launching the convening, Dr Sanjeev Vidyarthi, Provost, Anant National University, observed, “Anant National University is a diverse and dynamic institution on the move where creative ideas evolve into purposeful action and where students learn to lead meaningful change in our rapidly changing world. Indigenous knowledge forms an integral part of our design pedagogy, and this convening perfectly aligns with our educational philosophy that integrates indigenous knowledge and contemporary design practices.”

Dr Leland S McGee, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Penn GSE and Senior Associate Director,GSE Office of Student Success, University of Pennsylvania and a SCoPE Scholar at Anant National University, said, “Indigenous knowledge systems are often associated with only the tribal communities. However, they form an integral part of the traditional knowledge of countless communities across the world. Through this convening, we aim to explore how indigenous knowledge and its impact can help us better design education, policy and systems for the betterment of future generations.”

“The intent of the convening was to interrogate, expose and undo the dangers and desires of colonisation in education through indigenous consciousness. We focused on bringing all the stakeholders of education into conversation, including policy-makers, teachers, researchers and students. Collectively, we aspire to contribute to creating an educational framework that listens deeply, acts justly and honours all,” added Dr Diti Vyas, Associate Professor | School of Creative Practices and Entrepreneurship (SCoPE), Anant National University.

The convening advances Anant’s collaboration with Penn GSE, expanding efforts in global education innovation. Anant and Penn GSE previously hosted The Future of Learning Collaborative in 2023, which led to the launch of an influential White Paper as an urgent call to redesign the global education system in response to sweeping changes that are reshaping human existence.

Through the ongoing partnership, the two universities foster cooperative research, facilitate international exchanges, enhance the quality of learning, extend the reach of both institutions and collaborate on the exchange of academic materials and initiatives that advance matters of mutual academic interests.

A leading Ivy League institution, the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE) has a century-long tradition of producing education leaders driven by innovation, research and social impact. Penn GSE actively partners with schools, universities and communities around the world to improve educational access and equity.

As part of its mission to promote global engagement in all its forms, the University of Pennsylvania, through Penn Global, administers a competitive global engagement grant programme. This initiative provides resources to faculty and staff to support a broad range of research, teaching, service and engagement activities both globally and in specific focus countries and regions.

With this convening, Anant has taken another major step toward equitably inclusive education, ensuring that Indigenous knowledge systems receive due recognition and representation in research and policy discourse. This effort reinforces Anant’s vision to drive innovative, locally relevant education methodologies and materials rooted in India’s vibrant local cultures, regional diversities and national aspirations.

In recognition of World ORS Day, a city-wide initiative led by the TSL Foundation and supported by Tetra Pak, Halewood, Kenvue, and Alkem, distributed over 3 lakh Ready-to-Drink (RTD) ORS packs to residents across key cities in West Bengal, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the importance of safe, effective hydration-especially during the monsoon season when waterborne illnesses and immunity-related concerns are at their peak.

Tetra Pak marks ORS Day with Ready-To-Drink ORS Distribution Drive

Unlike traditional ORS solutions, Ready-To-Drink ORS offers a convenient, pre-mixed format that meets WHO-recommended standards and comes in safe Tetra Pak cartons. This ensures accurate dosage, eliminates the need for clean water or mixing, and makes it easier for people of all ages to stay hydrated-whether recovering from illness or simply navigating daily routines.

“Hydration is a simple habit that can make a big difference to everyday health,” said Saurabh Sinha, Marketing Director, Tetra Pak South Asia. “By making ORS more accessible in a ready-to-drink format, our goal is to help consumers stay prepared, stay healthy, and take better care of themselves and their families.”

To ensure the message of smart hydration reaches diverse communities, the initiative is being amplified through a comprehensive 360-degree outreach effort. This includes on-ground distribution drives, informative radio segments, and engaging social media content-all designed to educate and empower consumers with practical knowledge about everyday hydration. The focus remains on accessibility and awareness-making sure people understand the value of ORS in maintaining health, especially during vulnerable seasons.

The RTD ORS packs were developed by trusted brands: Halewood (ElectroRush), Kenvue (ORSL), and Alkem (ORS Insta), each contributing to the shared goal of making hydration simple, safe, and inclusive.

“TSL Foundation believes that health equity begins with access,” said a TSL Foundation spokesperson. “This initiative is about empowering communities with the tools they need to care for their health-starting with something as fundamental as hydration.”

The month-long drive culminates on World ORS Day, July 29, reinforcing a simple but important message: staying well-hydrated should be easy, safe, and part of everyday life.

The definition of luxury housing in India is no longer what it used to be. As more households move up the income ladder, buyers are bringing sharper expectations to the table. Besides, the pandemic was a major turning point. It made space, wellness, and privacy non-negotiable. Today’s luxury home is as much about comfort and calm as it is about status. It’s where aspiration meets everyday utility; and that shift is what’s driving the next wave of growth.

Rising India’s luxury housing segment

According to a joint report by CBRE-ASSOCHAM, India’s luxury housing segment witnessed an 85% year-on-year (YoY) growth in the first half of 2025, with nearly 7,000 high-end residential units sold across the top seven cities. Leading the luxury surge, Delhi-NCR clocked sales of approximately 4,000 luxury units during January-June 2025, contributing 57% share to the total luxury segment. The region also recorded a threefold increase in sales compared to the same period last year, the report said.

With rising disposable incomes, the appetite for premium homes has grown wider. NRIs are returning with global benchmarks, professionals are upgrading their lifestyle; there’s a clear shift toward real estate that delivers both comfort and capital appreciation. For many, a luxury home is no longer a milestone purchase-it’s a strategic one.

Yukti Nagpal, Director, Gulshan Group, says, “The concept of luxury has gone beyond mere possessions. With more disposable income and clearer expectations, buyers seek homes where they can experience comfort, convenience, and a certain ease in everyday living. In NCR, micro-markets like Noida-Greater Noida Expressway are seeing massive traction due to their superior infrastructure, proximity to business hubs, and access to prime facilities, aligning with what buyers look for. At Gulshan, we curate residences that are aspirational yet rooted in practicality; where every detail, from layout to location, enhances quality of life.”

Data from JLL showed, India’s housing market is witnessing a decisive tilt toward premium homes, with properties priced above Rs 1 crore accounting for 62% of all residential sales during the first half of 2025. These homes are being snapped up not just in Delhi or Mumbai, but in tier 2 cities too. For this new class of affluent buyers, luxury housing is where aspiration meets asset-building.

Saurabh Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments, says, “In Gurugram, Dwarka Expressway’s rise as a premium residential zone is no accident. With its strategic location connecting Delhi and Gurugram, infrastructure upgrades, and proximity to IGI Airport, this stretch has become a magnet for luxury homebuyers. As developers, we’ve noticed an increasing shift towards smart, secure, and amenity-rich homes in this corridor. What’s especially driving the market now is a new wave of millennial buyers with rising disposable incomes, who want more than just shelter. They’re seeking larger homes, spacious layouts, and modern amenities that match their lifestyle. This shift is pushing the demand for premium, future-ready homes, and we believe Gururgam will sustain its real estate market where homes meet these aspirations.”

Dr. Vishesh Rawat, VP & Head of Marketing, Sales & CRM, M2K Group, says, “In sectors like Sector 104 along the Dwarka Expressway, we’re seeing a very distinct kind of luxury demand, which is quiet, thoughtful, and deeply lifestyle-driven. Affluent buyers here want homes that feel like a retreat but still stay connected to the city’s pulse. But what’s equally driving interest is the investment potential. With soaring property prices, strong sales momentum, and non-stop infrastructure development, this corridor is anticipated to deliver impressive ROI in the coming years. Hence, we foresee that luxury, for this segment, is about balance not excess.”

Vikas Dua, Founder and Director, Chintamanis Group, says, “Gurugram continues to lead NCR’s luxury housing evolution, driven by a clientele with high disposable income that values brand legacy, prime addresses, and architectural statement. Branded residences, especially along corridors like the Dwarka Expressway, are being viewed as generational assets. The demand here is as much emotional as it is financial, turning Gurugram’s billionaire belt a proven destination for enduring value.”

Simultaneously, Tier-2 cities like Dehradun, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Indore, and Lucknow have become the new luxury hubs. As per MagicBricks, the average capital appreciation across Tier-II cities stands at 17.6%, outpacing the national capital’s 11.10%. Driven by NRI investments, second-home aspirations, and retirement planning, luxury is now becoming a nationwide aspiration rooted in quality living and future-readiness.

Harvinder Singh Sikka, Chairman, Sikka Group, says, “The appetite for luxury homes in Tier 2 cities like Dehradun is unprecedented. With increased reverse migration, buyers are looking for elevated living without the chaos of metros. They demand panoramic views, green architecture, and modern amenities bundled into a lifestyle offering. Thus, the aspirational curve has shifted upward, and Tier 2 luxury now competes with metro-grade sophistication.”

Therefore, the future of luxury housing in India lies in its ability to evolve with the buyer. With disposable incomes rising and lifestyles becoming more global in taste, developers who focus on detail, design, and experience will be the ones leading the next chapter of India’s luxury housing story.
