Any published article is the proof of the clinician’s academic growth and success of his career. Academic journal is usually considered the face of any representative body or organization. It also reflects the research activities carried out by its members and indirectly indicates how much its people are inclined to spreading and sharing their knowledge amongst others.

With the introduction of this scientific peer reviewed journal, we would like to invite articles from any part of the world and from any specialty, which is related to the spine care and related to the spine surgery. It is also a benchmark of SAG to exchange the knowledge in spine and spine related management amongst the members. It also facilitates knowledge and research exchange with the rest of the world. Let us think what SAG has achieved over the past years since its inception. SAG is currently involved in many scientific activities such as, regularly arranging one day conferences (one in three months), monthly medical forum to promote second line specialists, organising national conferences (by so far two ASSICON and one MISSICON) and also teaching newer surgeons (through individual capacity of the member) in form of fellowships. However, we still lack in publication and research activities. Our journal will provide a platform for its members to achieve their name scientifically recognised across the world. The journal will be initially launch
