The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bathinda, has brought laurels to the state and the nation, with three of its doctors —Dr Paramdeep Singh (Radiology), Dr Madhur Verma (Community and Family Medicine) and Dr Mintu Pal (Pharmacology) — earning a place in the prestigious ‘World’s Top 2 per cent Scientists’ list compiled by the Stanford University, USA, in collaboration with Elsevier.

The recently released list identifies leading researchers globally based on their citation impact, using data from the Scopus database and a composite indicator (c-score). It follows a rigorous global evaluation, considering parameters such as research output, citation indices and overall academic influence.

AIIMS Bathinda’s inclusion in this elite list underscores the institute’s growing reputation as a hub for high-quality research and innovation in medical sciences.
