Sarvodaya Hospital, Greater Noida West, Launches Next-Gen Fully Active Robotic System for Joint Replacement

Greater Noida West, 10th July 2025 – Reinforcing its commitment to harness innovation and clinical excellence, Sarvodaya Hospital, Gaur City 2, Greater Noida West, announced the launch of the MISSO RJR ROBOT- an advanced, fully active robotic system for joint replacement surgery. The integration of this state-of-the-art technology marks a significant milestone in orthopaedic innovation, exemplifying Sarvodaya’s mission to provide advanced and accessible care. Furthermore, this advanced technology can transform outcomes for patients who suffer from joint pain as well as immobility, enabling a faster return to active living.

Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeries (RJR) are redefining the landscape of orthopaedic care, offering a transformative leap in surgical precision and patient outcomes. The advanced MISSO RJR Robot stands at the forefront of this innovation as a fully active robotic system, seamlessly integrating AI-driven, real-time 3D surgical planning and execution to achieve sub-millimetre accuracy in implant positioning while also enabling highly personalised, CT-based preoperative planning tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. The system’s minimally invasive surgical approach results in reduced pain, less blood loss, and significantly faster recovery times for patients.

Dr. Anchit Uppal, Senior Consultant & Head – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, at Sarvodaya Hospital, Greater Noida said, “In India, the demand for joint replacement surgeries has risen sharply—recent studies indicate a 20–25% annual increase, largely due to an ageing population and the growing prevalence of osteoarthritis and lifestyle-related orthopaedic issues. Traditional surgeries can be time-consuming and often require longer hospital stays, which can impact patients’ mental health and overall recovery. Minimally invasive robotic procedures, on the other hand, reduce surgical trauma, minimise pain and blood loss, and enable a much quicker return to daily activities. The MISSO RJR Robot enables us to deliver world-class joint replacement procedures that are not only safer and faster but also tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and needs.”

Dr. Ankur Singh, Senior Consultant & Head– Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, at Sarvodaya Hospital, Greater Noida, said, “The integration of advanced robotic technology in joint replacement marks a significant advancement in orthopaedic surgery. This system provides surgeons with enhanced control, accuracy, and reproducibility throughout the procedure, allowing for optimal implant positioning and alignment. Such precision not only reduces intraoperative variability but also minimises tissue trauma, postoperative pain, and recovery time. Ultimately, this enables us to deliver highly individualised, evidence-based care that significantly improves functional outcomes and overall quality of life for our patients.”

Dr. Rakesh Gupta, Chairman, Sarvodaya Healthcare, stated, “We at Sarvodaya have always believed in harnessing innovation for better patient outcomes. We introduced North India’s first fully active joint replacement robot at our multispeciality Sarvodaya Hospital in Sector 8, Faridabad. Now, the introduction of the advanced RJR Robot at our Noida unit reflects our endeavour to deliver global standards of care locally and be at the forefront of medical technology. This advancement will bring independence, dignity, and trust in our patients”.

Need to go beyond green revolution and head for a processed food revolution: Piyush Goyal

New Delhi, July 10, 2025: The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC), as part of its centenary celebrations, hosted Krishi Vikram – Transforming Agriculture for a Secure Future of Viksit Bharat in New Delhi today. The event witnessed a compelling keynote address by Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Commerce & Industry, who laid out a bold and holistic vision to position agriculture at the heart of India’s $5 trillion economic ambition.

Addressing a diverse audience of policymakers, industry leaders, farmer collectives, and agri-entrepreneurs, Shri Goyal said, “By embracing drip irrigation, natural farming, resilient supply chains, and smart food processing, we have a real opportunity to make Indian agriculture self-reliant and globally competitive. With focused investments, innovation, and public-private collaboration, we can scale our agri-exports from ₹4 lakh crore to ₹20 lakh crore. As a rain-fed agrarian economy, India must make irrigation an economically viable solution for farmers — not just to boost productivity but also to fuel our processed food exports. This is how we transform agriculture into a powerful engine of Viksit Bharat.”

The Minister emphasized a multi-pronged approach to agri-reform—calling for a mass movement around climate-resilient irrigationenergy-efficient farminghigh-value exportspackaging and branding, and technology-enabled natural and organic farming. Highlighting India’s rising global footprint in the sector, he cited export success stories from lychees to spices, coffee, and millets, and encouraged stakeholders to think bigger and work as a team to unlock the untapped potential of India’s agri-economy.

He further added, “To truly transform Indian agriculture, we must equip our farmers with advanced technology, sustainable infrastructure, and seamless access to markets. Imagine the impact of energy-efficient pumps—reducing costs, conserving water, and minimizing maintenance. When paired with drip irrigation, the benefits multiply. Our government remains firmly committed to enhancing farmer incomes, building skills, and expanding the global footprint of India’s rich produce—from fruits to high-value horticulture. It’s time to elevate local to global and make agriculture the cornerstone of a prosperous country.”

Echoing the Minister’s sentiments, Mr. Abhyuday Jindal, President, ICC and Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, remarked:

“Agriculture will be the driving force of India’s journey to a $5 trillion economy—linking farmers to global markets through tech, trade, and trust. In Shri Piyush Goyal’s vision, we find the blueprint for an inclusive, export-oriented Viksit Bharat.”

The event also focused on the growing role of agri-entrepreneurshipvalue chain integration, and reskilling rural youth for modern, high-value agri-jobs.
