What the Vice President will do
The Vice President’s itinerary includes two main activities. First, he will participate in India Valves 2026 at Guindy, Chennai. This is a national academic gathering focused on treatment approaches for diseases affecting heart valves and other structural heart conditions. At the same venue, he will launch the India Valve Registry, a new initiative in this medical field.
Second, the Vice President will attend a postage stamp release ceremony at Valluvar Kottam, Chennai. This event commemorates the 75th anniversary of Dinamalar newspaper’s publication. The release of the commemorative stamp marks this milestone for the Tamil-language daily.

If you work in cardiology or heart disease research, the launch of the India Valve Registry signals government backing for better data collection and coordination in this medical area. For collectors of Indian stamps and those interested in Tamil media history, the commemorative stamp release offers a chance to mark an important milestone in regional journalism. The Vice President’s attendance underscores the national importance placed on both medical research in cardiology and recognition of long-running regional publications.
