Truevis Technologies and Neusoft Medical Systems Sign MoU for 300 Radiology Centers with SMC Clinics
Revolutionizing Medtech Access and Empowering Radiologists Forecasts to invest an estimated Rs. 1,000 cr over 5 years One clinic setup requires an estimated Rs. 3.5 cr for an independent radiologist Reaching over 1 million patients annually Truevis Technologies Pvt Limited , a leading manufacturer in the med-tech sector, and Neusoft Medical Systems signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SMC Clinics, an initiative of Swadhin Trust powered by Tripura Santiniketan Medical College and Hospital. In a landmark move to bridge India's widening med-tech gap especially amid the escalating cancer crisis and capitalize on the sector's post-Budget 2026 surge, this partnership aims to establish 300 clinician-owned diagnostic centers in Tier I, Tier II towns over the next five years, reaching over 1 million patients annually forecasting an investment of Rs. 1000 cr in 5 years. India grapples with a surging cancer burden, with approximately 1.46 million new cases in 2022 (ICMR estimates), projected to exceed 1.5 million by 2026 and rise to around 1.57 million by 2030. Early detection through advanced imaging is critical, yet access remains limited in semi-urban and rural areas. India's med-tech sector faces a stark shortfall: valued at approximately $14 billion today, it lags far behind the $50 billion required by 2030 to meet rising healthcare demands (NITI Aayog estimates). High import dependency (70-80% of equipment), capital-intensive setups, and limited access exacerbate the divide. The Union Budget 2026-27 supercharged growth prospects, with Rs. 40,000 crore for electronics components manufacturing aiding med-tech devices and diagnostics; Rs. 10,000 crore Biopharma SHAKTI scheme over five years for biopharma hubs, indirectly benefiting med-tech integration; and expanded Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes for sectors like white goods (Rs. 1,004 crore) and ongoing medical devices PLI (Rs. 3,420 crore base through 2028), projecting a 15-20% CAGR through 2030 driving domestic manufacturing, affordability, and innovation. This MoU directly tackles the cancer crisis by deploying advanced imaging equipment (X-Ray, Mammography, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET-CT) across 300 centers. These clinician-owned facilities will enable early-stage cancer detection vital for improving survival rates while cutting costs by up to 30% through local supply chains. By empowering radiologists in Tier I and Tier II towns, the initiative ensures affordable, high-quality diagnostics for over 1 million patients yearly, reducing treatment delays, easing hospital overload, and supporting India's goal of universal healthcare access. This partnership positions Truevis, Neusoft, and SMC Clinics at the forefront, offering a clinician-centric model where radiologists retain full ownership while partners handle backend hurdles like technology procurement and operations. Key Partnership Roles Truevis Technologies and Neusoft Medical Systems (Technology Partner): With their Make in India initiative, the companies will deliver end-to-end support for sourcing advanced imaging equipment, vendor coordination, installation, and lifecycle maintenance at preferential rates leveraging Budget-boosted local supply chains. SMC Clinics (Service & Enablement Partner): Manages operational planning, referral networks, branding, and draws on Swadhin Trust's institutional expertise for nationwide rollout. " This MoU isn't just about scaling diagnostics it’s a game-changer for access to patient care, empowering radiologists to build Indian healthcare for the future, especially in tackling cancer's rise. This will help retain highly skilled medical professionals for better care and accessibility in Tier II, Tier III towns and beyond ," said a spokesperson from Truevis Technologies Pvt Ltd. " This collaboration is a direct response to India's med-tech shortfall and cancer surge, amplified by Budget 2026's push for self-reliance and Make in India. By empowering radiologists to own their practices, we're fostering entrepreneurship, improving early cancer detection, and enhancing treatment outcomes in underserved areas ," added a Spokesperson from SMC Clinics-Swadhin Trust. The initiative prioritizes urban and semi-urban expansion, reducing dependence on corporate chains and promoting affordable, high-quality diagnostics amid the sector's projected boom. About Truevis Technologies Pvt Ltd. Truevis Technologies Private Limited is a pioneering MedTech company redefining healthcare through manufacturing-led availability of advanced radiology, radiotherapy, and hemodialysis equipment. Delivering end-to-end solutions via its MaaS platform including call center support, after-sales service, project management, consultancy, and comprehensive maintenance contracts Truevis empowers businesses with scalable, customer-centric operations aligned to Make in India and Viksit Bharat initiatives. With a mission to bridge global innovation and local accessibility, the company drives digital transformation, reduces import dependency, and fosters self-reliance in high-end diagnostics like PET-CT and MRI systems.

PIL in SC seeking action against racial violence targeting northeastern citizens
NEW DELHI: A PIL was filed in the Supreme Court seeking judicial intervention to address the continuing constitutional failure to prevent and respond to racial discrimination and violence against citizens from northeastern states and other frontier regions. The PIL was filed on December 28 in the backdrop of the brutal killing of Anjel Chakma , a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura, who succumbed on December 27 to grievous injuries sustained in a racially motivated attack in Selaqui area of Dehradun. Anjel from Unakoti district's Machmara went to Dehradun after completing his graduation in Holy Cross School, Agartala, to pursue MBA, where he was stabbed to death in the presence of his younger brother Michael. The family members of Chakma want capital punishment or at least life imprisonment for all the accused involved in the incident. Anoop Prakash Awasthi, a Delhi-based lawyer, has made the Centre and all the states and Union territories as parties to the PIL. That the present writ petition is being filed seeking issuance of writ under Article 32 of the Constitution seeking issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus, order, direction or any other appropriate writ for the violation of fundamental rights as under article 14, 19 (1) a & (g) and 21, and thus seeking judicial intervention to address the issue of racial discrimination and violence against Indian citizens from the north-eastern states and other frontier regions of India, the plea said. We are Indians. What certificate should we show to prove that? words that tragically became the last recorded assertion of Anjel Chakma about his constitutional belonging before the confrontation escalated into brutal violence, it said while recounting the offence leading to his death. The plea referred to media reports about Chakma's death. The attackers allegedly assaulted and stabbed both brothers and Chakma sustained severe injuries to his neck and spine, remained unconscious throughout his treatment, and died after more than fourteen days in intensive medical care, it said, adding his death triggered widespread anguish, protests, and demands for justice across the country. Issue an appropriate writ (ad interim till a legislation is made) in the nature of formulating comprehensive guidelines, recognising 'racial slur' as a separate category of hate crimes and determining punishment for the same, the plea said. 'Horrific hate crime': Rahul Gandhi on Tripura student murder; slams BJP for 'normalising' hate It sought a direction to the Centre and the states to create a odal agency or a permanent body or commission or directorate at the central level as well as at the level of each state where such racial crimes can be reported and redressed. Direct the respondents at central level as well as at the level of each state to make and create a dedicated special police unit in each district/metropolitan area to address the racial crimes, it said. The plea sought a direction to the Centre and the states to organise workshops and debates at educational institutes on the issue of prevailing racial discrimination and ways to redress the same. The petition said that despite the unmistakable hate-based and racial motivation behind the crime, India's criminal justice system lacks any mechanism to recognise or record racial bias at the initial stage of investigation. As a result, such offences are treated as ordinary crimes, erasing motive, diluting constitutional gravity, and perpetuating a pattern of impunity, it said. The plea said that the killing of Chakma is not an isolated incident but part of a long-standing pattern of racial abuse and violence against citizens from the northeastern states. The petition recalls earlier cases, including the death of Nido Taniam in 2014 and numerous assaults on students and workers in metropolitan cities, incidents that have been formally acknowledged by the Centre in parliamentary replies but, according to the petitioner, remain unaddressed through any dedicated legislative or institutional framework.

Tripura student's family wants capital punishment for those involved in his murder
AGARTALA: The family of Anjel Chakma (24), who was killed by miscreants in Dehradun, wants capital punishment or at least life imprisonment for all the accused involved in the incident. Anjel from Unakoti district's Machmara went to Dehradun after completing his graduation in Holy Cross School, Agartala, to pursue MBA, where he was stabbed to death in the presence of his younger brother Michael. We will never get back Anjel, but his family wants capital punishment or at least life term imprisonment for those involved in the gruesome murder. Anjel had repeatedly said that he was an Indian, but the miscreants mindlessly stabbed him twice in the back and broke his neck, leading to his death after 17 days of battle for life, said Anjel's maternal uncle, Momen Chakma. He urged the government to take steps so that people from the Northeast don't face racial hate crimes. Momen said, The people of Machmara, irrespective of caste and religion, will hold a candle march in memory of Anjel on Tuesday, seeking justice for his family. Anjel was about to join a company after his final semester examination as he had received a placement offer because of his first year's result with 80 per cent marks, Momen told PTI over phone. He (Anjel) had told his father, Tarun Prasad Chakma, a BSF jawan posted in Manipur, to take voluntary retirement once he gets a job, Momen said. The family's dream of having a decent life has been completely shattered by the unfortunate incident on December 26, Momen, who rushed to Dehradun soon after the incident, said. Anjel's family is completely devastated by the incident. Both father and younger son are undergoing 'Sarema' (a mandatory post-death ritual in Buddhist religion) at a local Buddhist temple for a week. His mother, Gouri Mati Chakma, is also completely shattered, he said. Momen said Ajnel's family is heading towards uncertainty because his father had bought a new home at Nandannagar on the outskirts of Agartala with a huge loan. Besides, Anjel had taken an educational loan to pursue an MBA from Dehradun. We all know pursuing such a course in Dehradun is expensive. Now everything is lost, he said. On Anjel's last wish, Momen said he wanted to travel to Nepal to witness snowfall there, but could not. He had ordered special shoes as part of his preparation to visit Nepal. We received the order, but Anjel could not see the shoes because by then he was in the ICU. I will go to Nepal with these shoes to fulfil his unfinished and last wish, Momen, a state government engineer, said. We are also Indians, says slain Tripura students dad
GUWAHATI: The North East Students Organisation (NESO) has demanded capital punishment for all those who were involved in the killing of Tripura student Angel Chakma in Dehradun. In a memorandum addressed to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the NESO, which is the apex students body of the Northeast, further demanded the establishment of at least one special police station for dealing with cases related to racial discrimination and atrocities on people from the region, and the enactment of a stringent law against racial discrimination as the Anti-Racism Act. Mr Angel Chakma, who was only 24 years of age, was beaten and stabbed, resulting in his death after struggling for his life for over two weeks in the hospital. His brother, Mr Micheal Chakma, was also assaulted, the memorandum read. The only reason being they looked differently from the rest of the Aryan race and were hurled with racial abuses which were demeaning and degrading, it further read. Condemning the attack, the NESO said people from the Northeast had been facing these kinds of harassment in different parts of the country. Tripura student killing: NHRC issues notice to Dehradun DM, SSP It urged CM Dhami to immediately intervene so that authorities take effective measures which could give mental, social and physical security to the students and people from the Northeast, studying and residing in Dehradun and other parts of Uttarakhand. The All India Chakma Students Union had written to Dhami on Monday, seeking transfer of the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation and the shifting of the trial outside Uttarakhand. According to the organisation, the family of the deceased has lost faith in Uttarakhand Police due to serious procedural lapses, including a three-day delay in registering the FIR, failure to invoke appropriate sections of law at the initial stage, and alleged attempts by senior police officials to dilute the crime by portraying it as a fight while ignoring elements of racial abuse. Tarun Prasad Chakma, father of the deceased , has already urged the government to ensure the protection of people from the Northeast in mainland India. My appeal is that what happened to my son should not happen to other children from the Northeast. The Northeast is also a part of India. We are also Indians, he said. Angel was beaten up and stabbed multiple times by a group of assailants on December 9. He succumbed to his injuries on December 26.
