The two-day annual conference of Andhra Pradesh Society of Nephrology ( APSN) began at Tirupati on Saturday. Nephrology Department of SVIMS organised the event. Nearly 200 nephrologists from all over the State attended the conference.
An annual oration in honour of Dr T. Ravi Raju was started this year. Renowned nephrologists are invited to deliver this Gold Medal Oration during APSN conference every year.
The inaugural oration was presented by renowned nephrologist from Chennai Dr Georgi Abraham, who is pioneer in peritoneal dialysis in India. He popularised CAPD, a form of peritoneal dialysis all over India.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
