Committed to Progress, Unity & Professional Excellence
Professor of Endocrinology, pioneer of Type 1 diabetes care in India, and Ex-Vice President of RSSDI — now standing for President-Elect to build a Society that is more transparent, more engaged, and more useful to every member who serves people with diabetes across the country.
From establishing Eastern India's first government-sector Young Diabetes Centre to shaping national guidelines for children with Type 1 diabetes, Dr. Ghosh's career reflects a consistent thread — turning research and policy into care that reaches the people who need it most.
Professor of Endocrinology & Metabolism, IPGMER, Kolkata — practising clinician, researcher and teacher.
Ex-Vice President, RSSDI; Editor-in-Chief, RSSDI Yearbook of Diabetes; key architect of the RSSDI West Bengal Chapter's research-grant programme.
300+ peer-reviewed publications, author of 14+ textbooks, and Adaptation Editor of the first Indian edition of Davidson's Principles & Practice of Internal Medicine.
Technical expert on India's national Type 1 diabetes guidance documents (NHM/RBSK, ICMR 2022) and State Technical Expert for Diabetes Health Policy, Government of West Bengal.
To every colleague across RSSDI — thank you for the trust you have placed in me over three decades of shared work. I am contesting for President-Elect because I believe our Society's next chapter should be written together: with transparent governance, stronger support for young diabetologists, and a louder voice for our members in national health policy.
This candidacy is not about one person's ambition. It is about the diabetes centres we still need to build, the research grants that should reach every state chapter, and the young clinicians who deserve mentors as much as members deserve representation.
Together, I believe we can move RSSDI forward — with your trust as my responsibility, and our future as the goal.
Regular, open forums between the executive committee and general members across every state chapter.
Clear, published criteria for grants, awards and committee appointments — decisions members can see and trust.
Structured mentorship and CME pathways for young diabetologists entering research and clinical practice.
A more assertive RSSDI voice in national health policy — building on work already done with NHM, ICMR and state governments.
Modern, member-first digital services — from registration to research collaboration — that reduce friction, not add to it.
"Together Towards Better Diabetes Care for India — my responsibility is your trust, and our shared future is the mission."
Expanding the research-grant model piloted in West Bengal to every RSSDI state chapter, plus stronger support systems for practising members.
Structured training programmes, hands-on workshops and fellowship pathways in diabetes care, built around real clinical practice.
Technology-driven member services — from a modern member portal to easier access to RSSDI research and publications.
Bringing young diabetologists into leadership, research committees and the Yearbook editorial process early in their careers.
Representing RSSDI members' interests at state and national levels — in policy rooms, at ICMR and NHM tables, and beyond.
Every focus area above is built on work already underway — this manifesto is a continuation, not a promise from scratch.
