Appeal for Medical Support – Mr. Jutan Das (IARI Alumnus, 2025 Batch)

Dear Alumni and Well-wishers,

We seek your kind support for our alumnus, Mr. Jutan Das, who graduated with his Ph.D. from IARI in March 2025. Jutan hails from Tripura and has been an exceptionally bright and multi-talented student, admired for his positivity and resilience.

Unfortunately, he is now facing a serious kidney-related medical condition. Doctors at CMC Vellore have advised an urgent surgery (ureteric reimplantation). The estimated cost of the procedure is about ₹5,00,000. The surgery is scheduled for the coming week, and timely support is crucial.

Despite already undergoing two major kidney surgeries during his Ph.D., Jutan persevered and completed his studies. However, the repeated medical crises have left him and his family financially and emotionally exhausted.

We appeal to all alumni, students, and well-wishers to kindly extend financial support. Contributions may be made directly to his account:

Your support can make a life-saving difference.

With gratitude,
IARI Alumni Association

A Life-Saving Appeal for Little Swarang

Dear Friends,

Master Swarang Gopal Mahajan, 4-year old son of Dr Gopal Ramdas Mahajan, Scientist, ICAR-CCARI, Goa, is suffering from a rare genetic disorder Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome (MLS), which can be treated only at select specialised hospitals. He has been advised by the doctors at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai to undergo a life-saving Haploidentical Bone Marrow transplant by July 2025.

The surgery is expected to cost Rs. 40-45 lakhs. Dr Mahajan has managed to arrange about Rs. 20 lakhs from family and friends, and needs to pool the rest at the earliest.

We appeal to all our IARI fraternity to come forward and help Dr Mahajan by donating whatever amount you can.

A separate account has been opened at SBI, old Goa, for this purpose. You may kindly send your contributions to:
