Testimonials
"I have closely observed and worked with Prof Sonu Goel over last decade. At this young age, he has demonstrated exemplary visionary leadership, meticulous planning, execution and networking skills. His humbleness despite high competence which draws juniors and seniors alike to contribute to what he wants to achieve."
"Prof. Dr.Sonu Goel is a public health professional and researcher par excellence. He has endeavoured to strengthen tobacco control in India by establishing an e-resource centre(e-rctc) and undertaking research and translating them into policy and practice for effective implementation of WHO FCTC and achievement of NCD related targets of Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). His overall contribution to public health is demonstrated by the fact that he is perhaps the youngest faculty from India to have received fellowships of three prestigious Indian and global public health associations. He has great work ahead and I convey him BEST WISHES."
