Prof. Nair, is a true leader in both his vision and actions. Very early in his career Prof.

Nair had recognized the social, economic and cultural value of child development in the

nation’s life. He relentlessly worked towards developing new screening tools and innovative

training methods for over three decades and is now globally acknowledged as a pioneer in

the field. Trivandrum Developmental Screening Chart (TDSC), is one such example which

forms the backbone of the national child health program Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karykram

(RBSK).

Prof. Nair, who had a long research career with 210 National / International Journal

Publications and 29 Medical Books as Author / Editor, took several decisions in his

professional career where outcome was uncertain. Child Development Centre (CDC) was his

dream, which is now considered a national asset for research, teaching and training in child

and adolescent development, with 25 years follow up of Low Birth Weight babies, leading

on to the award of the first “Doctor of Science (D.Sc.)” degree awarded to any medical

person in 80 years history of University of Kerala. His 44 years of counseling experience

helped him immensely in establishing “Student Guidance & Support" program in all colleges

during his latest stint as Vice Chancellor of Kerala University of Health Sciences. Prof. Nair has

established national benchmarks in the process.

Prof. Nair D.Sc., has been elected “Fellow of the National Academy of Medical

Sciences (FAMS) in the year 2020”. Currently he is working as Director, NIMS-Spectrum-Child
