Recent Projects and Workshops
In 1999 post selction of the project for presentation at the TELEMED 99, a conference of G8 countries in London (organised by the American Telemedicine Service Providers Association & Royal Society Of Medicine),it received a humongous response. Three Norwegian company’s(Telenor, National Hospital of Norway , Sintef: a large European Research Foundation of Norway) formed a consortium to support implementation of the project. Telenor wanted to invest a significant amount. Tatainfotech & Larsen & Toubro signed MOU to be strategic partners
Several workshops were conducted, in India and Norway by the consortium partners, but the technology was not mature to support the project. They had invested a few million dollars in research but had no choice but to wait and watch the development of technology globally.
Family and educational background of the founder and the Co-founder
Dr Arvind Aggarwal, MBBS of 1970 batch, is the founder and the principal innovator. After getting married in 1980, he went into the international business of fashion garments. He had large garment export business, with four overseas offices in New York, Paris, Budapest & Bangladesh.
In 2011, Dr Arvind Aggarwal went through a severe medical crisis. He suffered multiple brain strokes, which forced him to wind up the export business as he was advised that he will never be able to travel. But God wanted him to live until he completed this unfinished task. He survived the brush with death and is healthy & strong today.
Dr. Meena Aggarwal is also a medico and a co-founder, from Famous Madras Medical college Chennai 1972 batch. She had been the main support & pillar of strength behind her husband. She has an eye for detail

Problem faced by the founders before executing the plan and how did they solve them
The biggest problem India is corruption, Founder had been a very big victim of a Land scam. He had purchased approximately 140 acres of Premium land, in Gurgaon for setting up a LARGE UNIVERSITY and convention centre.
During 1998 Some corrupt officials of the revenue department of Gurgaon of Govt of Haryana colluded with private builders, prepared fabricated documents and registered 272 fake sale deeds during the court stay.
Someone reported the matter to Haryana govt. Haryana Govt appointed a commissioner rank IAS officer to investigate the matter, who investigated the matter and registered an FIR against the corrupt officials. This matter is still pending in the High court of Haryana & Punjab.
This project shall be a MILESTONE IN THE HISTORY OF HEALTH CARE
