The Advanced Study Institute of Asia (ASIA), a research institute affiliated with SGT University, has entered into a landmark partnership with the African-Asian Rural Development Organization (AARDO) to address the critical issue of lead poisoning affecting rural and vulnerable populations across Africa and Asia.

AARDOs Secretary-General, His Excellency Dr. Manoj Nardeosingh and Prof. Amogh Rai, Research Director at ASIA, signing the official MoU document

This collaborative initiative brings together AARDOs extensive network of 32 member countries (and 2 associate members) and ASIAs research expertise in South and Southeast Asian studies, marking a significant step forward in the fight against lead exposure and its devastating health impacts, particularly on children and women in rural communities.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in the presence of AARDOs Secretary-General, His Excellency Dr. Manoj Nardeosingh. He emphasised the organisations commitment to addressing lead poisoning through collaborative efforts and talked about how children with lead exposure suffer from IQ loss, cognitive problems, and behavioural issues. “Lead is a silent killer, thus it should be addressed until its too late,” he said.

The signing was also attended by members of ASIAs lead research team, Chairman of ASIA Sh. Najeeb Jung, and other representatives from AARDO and SGT University. While talking about the problem at hand, Prof. Amogh Rai, Research Director at ASIA, said, “Poverty is an issue that we are working to address; however, lead exposure is a significant factor that is interconnected with it and can contribute to its persistence.”

Through this partnership, both organisations look forward to fostering behavioural change, enhancing knowledge dissemination, and creating lasting positive impact for those who need it the most.
