In 6 years of its existence , DYPIU has been trendsetter in many ways for the whole country!
I completed my 5 years tenure at TIFAC on April 24, 2018. During farewell, my colleagues asked me what was my next plan. To keep suspense about my plans, I mentioned that I have 3 things in mind : (1) To catch up on sleep (2) To spend time with my grandson (who was about 5 months old at that time!) (3) To write a book. However from TIFAC, I directly went to airport and took a flight to Pune in the evening. Next day (April 25, 2018), a press conference was organized to announce the starting of D Y Patil International Univ at Akurdi campus in Pune. I took a photo of nameplate and shared with my TIFAC colleagues about my next engagement and broke the suspense!
Understanding the synergy between magnesium and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is crucial for bone health, overall well-being, and disease prevention. Magnesium is pivotal in converting vitamin D into its active form, calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]), vital for calcium absorption in the body. Magnesium is essential for the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of vitamin D, serving as a necessary cofactor for the biochemical reactions in the liver and kidneys. This conversion significantly influences bone health and helps prevent osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Prof Prabhat Ranjan’s talk at 29th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, London on “Energy Justice and Social Licensing”
Transcript of the talk
ARTURO(Moderator):
So I’ll move us to a global context. You gave a really great introduction of in the US what’s being done.
And I’d like to pass this next question to Prabhat. Prabhat, as the fusion ecosystem moved towards the fusion pilot plants and commercialization, what concerns do you see regarding the global south’s role in the process? And what opportunities do you envision in this process?
PRABHAT RANJAN(Panelist):
Thank you. Global South is not only a geographical concept. It’s also an economic concept. And that economic concept keeps changing. And the countries that are part of the global south are not really fixed. Today, if I take from Steve’s talk, he talked about the industrial revolution. If I see economy before that, from 1st AD to 1800 AD, it was India and China, which was producing maximum 20 % to 30 % of global manufacturing was happening in India and China. It was industrial revolution which changed the games. And things moved to global north at that time. And the countries like India became poorer in that process.
