The pre-COVID-19 state of affairs for healthcare professionals in India, particularly for nurses, general duty assistants (Aaya), and paramedical staff, was significantly different from the current state of affairs. The workforce is tiny compared to the heavy demand. The lives of health providers are mostly unknown to young people. Social taboos have a big influence. This hampers youth since they are unaware of other healthcare-related careers and want to become doctors. Healthcare employees' circumstances, such as those of nurses and general duty assistants, were not favourable. Social perception is that they are underpaid and receive no recognition for their hard work.

Only one successful industry remained in operation during COVID-19, while nearly all other important enterprises that supported the economy were shut down. These healthcare professionals were the foundation of this profit. All of a sudden, there were far more demands placed on them.

The majority of work in India was completed on paper. However, starting in 2021, many significant technologies—including data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotic surgery—began to be used in the healthcare sector. These technologies' primary goals are to enhance service delivery, lower hazards related to human factors, and do away with paper-based tasks in the healthcare industry. Additionally, the government implemented Unique Health Identification (UHID), which enables hospitals and the government to provide patients with the clear and precise healthcare they need.

Artificial Intelligence is mostly used to provide solutions for problems involving decision-making, chronic care management, and operational management. At the moment, a patient employing AI data science will visit a doctor via an internet app or website, receive a diagnosis, and then complete all online procedures, including ordering medication and scheduling check-ups. Following all of this, a patient should visit a hospital if they require urgent medical attention.

The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) gene editing tool, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic surgery using a robotic arm, and other cutting-edge technologies and innovations are used by the National Cancer Institute and many other cancer institutes, including All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai), and Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology (Bangalore), to provide precise solutions for cancer treatment. Robotic surgery enters the market intending to provide precision during all surgeries and minimize risk rates by utilizing robotics and machine learning.

What is the first thing that comes to mind after reading this article? In the healthcare sector, will human-oriented labour be replaced by these technologies or not?

Yes, it might be, but there are also encouraging signs of these technologies' rising influence in the healthcare sector. I believe that the Indian economy will rise extraordinarily over the next ten years. It won't, however, totally do away with the need for healthcare professionals. An AI-based robot will not be able to provide aftercare services like emotional support, treatment administration, and wound care; these tasks will require human support, that will be received from nurses.

    Samaksh Nayyar MBA- I Semester Batch: 2023-25  samaksh.nayyar2025@sibmnoida.siu.edu.in     The interaction between artificial intelligence (AI) and human creativity has taken on significant relevance in the era of fast technological growth. The development of AI has spurred discussions about whether or not it can match or even outperform human creativity. This blog explores the subtle differences between AI and human creativity, showing the benefits, drawbacks, and surprising synergy between these two forces. In many sectors, AI has come a long way regarding creativity simulation. The ability of AI systems to simulate human-like creative outputs has been astoundingly shown in various fields, including music composition, artwork creation, poetry writing, and storytelling. Through the use of sophisticated neural networks and machine learning algorithms, these technologies are able to identify patterns in massive datasets and produce material that frequently seems original and real.

Abhinav MBA- I Semester Batch: 2023-25 abhinav2025@sibmnoida.siu.edu.in The relationship between India and China, two of the world’s most populous nations and emerging economic giants, is multifaceted and intricate. Central to this relationship is the realm of trade, where economic cooperation and geopolitical tensions often converge. This article explores the geopolitics surrounding India-China trade, delving into the factors influencing their economic interactions and the implications for regional and global dynamics. Trade ties between India and China have deep historical roots, tracing back to the ancient Silk Road. However, in the modern era, the signing of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in 1954 laid the groundwork for diplomatic relations and trade. Since then, trade between these two nations has grown significantly, marking them important global economic partners. One of the key aspects of the India-China relationship

Well, you're not the only one who has to deal with this.   When King Louis XVI eventually decided to provide the French peasants with food after a protracted period of waiting, the revolts had already devolved into a revolution. When Charles eventually consented during the Women’s March on Versailles, the protesters gathered outside his door, but even his advisors realised it was too late. He and his wife Marie Antoinnette made an attempt to flee during the night but were apprehended and executed. With this, the French monarchy ended, and a new, significantly worse system emerged. In essence, the Reign of Terr
