The Division of Pediatric Endocrinology in the Department of Pediatrics was established in 1981, and is one of the leading units in the country for management of endocrine disorders in children.
We take care of more than 500 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Our present core team consists of Prof. Vandana Jain and Dr. Rajni Sharma , who are supported by a specialist pediatric endocrine nurse, Mrs. Sethulaksmi, a specialty Pediatric Endocrine senior resident and a PhD fellow, Mr. Brijesh Kumar. In addition, we have many dedicated project staff, supported by extramural funding agencies (Indian Council of Medical Research, Ministry of Ayush, and Department of Health Research), working actively with children with endocrine disorders.
