Cándido L. Otero, MD’s New Book Do You Know Who You Really Are
New York, NY, March 25, 2024 –Cándido L. Otero, MD has completed his new book, “Do You Know Who You Really Are?”: a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the scientific and nonscientific truths of the universe in order to help readers fully grasp that who they are and their thoughts are the only true, unchanging concepts in life.
Born in Puerto Rico, author Cándido L. Otero, MD’s medical studies started in the Dominican Republic, and he continued his postgraduate studies in pathology at the University of Florida at Shands, Jacksonville, as well as his fellowship in cytopathology. His second fellowship was done at the University of South Florida at Moffitt Cancer Center. After finishing his pathology specialty and two fellowship subspecialties, one in cytopathology and the second one in oncological surgical pathology, the author started practicing pathology as director of the laboratory at the Veteran Hospital in Roseburg, Oregon. Later, he became chief of diagnostics as well as acting chief of staff and, subsequently, transferred to West Texas Veteran Affairs before retiring and moving to Florida. Since then, Cándido has continued his interest in quantum physics and metaphysics, writing this book, and music. The author passed away in early 2024, just as his book was about to be released.
“My goal on this book is to make you aware of who you are and to make you realize that everything and anything you’ve learned about life is a concept that can disappear the same very moment that it came into existence,” shared Cándido. “The universe as we know it is only a creation of our consciousness. The only tangible concept is our thoughts that light up whenever we accept them, but they can disappear just at once when we aren’t conscious about it.
“The creation of consciousness is like a small light in the horizon that if you are not paying attention, you won’t see it, and your life will be the same as it had been since you were born, influenced by your surroundings and everyone in your circle, instead of being the creator of you own existence.”

New La Trobe University Vice-Chancellor strengthens ties during India visit
20th March 2024, Delhi: Australia’s La Trobe University has identified key areas to further strengthen its longstanding commitment to Indian Research and Education partnerships during a visit by the University’s New Vice-Chancellor. Professor Theo Farrell, who began as Vice-Chancellor in February this year, has met with a range of Industry, Government, and Trade Representatives during a five-day visit to the country.
La Trobe has a proud and successful history in India, partnering with tertiary institutions and organizations on projects that benefit both countries and helping develop India’s brightest minds through joint education opportunities.
During his visit, Professor Farrell convened several Roundtable discussions with Partners, Industry, and Government Representatives, on opportunities to collaborate on areas of mutual interest that address national priorities and that are important for Industry Innovation and Development.
Professor Farrell said there were several priority areas for La Trobe that presented opportunities for deepening relationships in India and developing new partnerships.
These include continuing to support and expand student exchanges in India and Australia; developing research focussed on digital technologies and skills innovations; research commercialization opportunities, and linkages with industry partners. Deepening mutual industry partnerships play to La Trobe’s strengths in areas including smart cities, sustainable agriculture and food security, bio innovation, and in health and care innovation.
“Some of La Trobe’s most important university partners are in India, and we are building important partnerships with industry and businesses in India that leverage our significant expertise in areas including sustainable food and agriculture, health and wellbeing, technology and bio-innovation, ”Professor Farrell said.
“Our expertise in bio-innovation has recently been recognised by BioNTech, one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, who have chosen La Trobe’s Melbourne campus as the base for its new mRNA manufacturing facility to develop and test cancer treatments. “In addition, we’re committed to institutional cross-learning, joint intellectual programs and research, collaborative approaches that address industry challenges and joint educational partnerships that provide important valuable learning opportunities for students.”
Opportunities for further collaboration and engagement were also discussed at a Leadership Roundtable of all member Universities of the Asian Smart Cities Research Innovation Network (ASCRIN), which was founded by La Trobe University in 2019 and is now its Single Largest Research Internationalisation Initiative with joint investment of more than AUD $43 million (Rs 235 crores)
ASCRIN brings together a network of researchers, global industry partners, government collaborators, and start-ups to advance research into smart city-related projects, helping to improve the sustainability, livability, and efficiency of cities and towns in the region.
“The Network, with over 250 researchers, has already made significant strides in curating a strong portfolio of impact-based projects aimed at enhancing sustainability, liveability, and efficiency of cities and towns in the region. Our vision is now to build on this and accelerate engagement with industry and government to fast-track commercialisation and adoption pathways,” said Professor Aniruddha Desai, ASCRIN Founder and Co-Director of IIT Kanpur – La Trobe University Research Academy.
The Network has over 50 projects underway that will make a tangible difference in the lives of people in India, including:
• Data-driven decision-making to improve Dairy supply chains.
• Re-using construction and demolition waste to reduce landfill.
• Intelligent planning of energy grids to optimize consumption and reduce costs.
• Using sensors to improve indoor growing conditions of medicinal crops.
• Real-time crash prediction in traffic on urban roads and intersections to increase the safety of all road users.
The Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) last year joined other leading tertiary institutions, the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K) and Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS-Pilani) as partners in the Network, which already includes more than 250 researchers and over 70 Joint-PhD projects.
Professor Farrell and Pro Vice Chancellor of TISS, Professor Shankar Das also announced a Joint- PhD program, which will support Indian students to conduct research addressing the growing challenges of urbanization in Asia.
The La Trobe delegation will celebrate the finalists and winners of the Annual Technology Infusion Grand Challenge, which is designed to encourage undergraduate students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and Business fields to be confident in their skills and knowledge to produce a solutions and solve a concrete problem using next-generation smart technologies.
Over 130 students in some 67 teams from 18 universities in the region submitted innovative entries.
Professor Farrell will also visit Mahindra University, where La Trobe has launched a joint Bachelor’s degree program in civil engineering.
The collaboration, initiated in 2023, aligns with India’s National Education Policy 2023 and Australia’s Education Strategy for India, offering a unique opportunity for students to pursue their Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with two years at Mahindra University and two years at La Trobe University. Students will receive a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from both Universities.

MBA Business Analytics Industry Immersive Program, probably the first immersive learning program in Business Analytics in India
Hyderabad, March 19, 2024……. Currently, there is a wide gap between industries and academia, there is a wide gap between what students possess and what industry requires and there is a wide gap between acquired knowledge and required knowledge in India, said Dir. U.B. Desai, founding Director of the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad and Chancellor, of Anurag University
Dr Desai was the Chief Guest at the inauguration of the MBA Business Analytics –Industry Immersive Program at Anurag University, the first private University in the state.
Dr Balaji Utla, Registrar, Ms. S. Neelima, CEO and others have graced the occasion.
Dr Desai spoke to the students and interacted with faculty after the launch of the program
Speaking about Industry-Academia Connect, he said, there is a lot more to be done. We are just taking baby steps in developing a strong connection. That is because of the lack of clear policy in strengthening ties between them.
Several luminaries and academia opined in the past that Industry-Academia Collaboration Should be Mandatory by Law. When asked about his opinion about the same, Dr Desai said, academia and industry are interdependent. And change cannot be brought by force.
Speaking further he added that Academia and Industry are interdependent. The Sooner this is recognised the better the outcomes will be.
The initiative is the brainchild of Dr Balaji Utla, Registrar, and founder CEO of Satyam Learning.
Prof of Practice Venugopal said the MBA Business Analytics Industry Immersive Program is probably one of the industry’s first initiatives introduced with the sole aim of producing industry-ready Management Graduates. Under this program, 35 students who are pursuing MBA Analytics not only learn theory but also put into practice the same by being themselves as business owners while pursuing their studies.
According to Dr Syed Mansoor Pash, Program Director, it is a combination of management and technology and is probably the first Immersive Learning programme in Business Analytics in India. The program is uniquely designed to allow students to do projects every alternate term for a total of 6 terms. This offers an opportunity to do real-life and near-real-life projects so the students can practice the concepts/tools learnt in the earlier term.
During the program students will be treated as employees working in a temporary organization so that they are industry-ready by the time of completion of the Programme, said Dr V. Vishnu Vandana, Head of the Department, School of Management, Anurag University.
Academia, industry experts and Professors of Practice as envisaged in the New Education Policy (NEP) will guide students and help them navigate through the program.
