While talking about the responsibilities as the president-elect, he further added, "I have some things in mind. My responsibility would be taking the society forward and doing much more positive work. The Anesthesiologists have been working day in and out during this COVID period. We are the front-line COVID warriors. So that responsibility is already there with us. In addition to that, I would like to put some more effort for the society. As far as academics is concerned, do some more workshops, newsletters and other programs"

The results were declared at the general body meeting of the 43rd annual conference of the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists - UP State (UPISACON 2021) held at Banaras Hindu University.
