The Dr A Jaishree Gajaraj Endowment Oration was instituted in 2020 as an endowment from Dr A Jaishree Gajaraj, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Chennai. It is delivered annually at the Thalir-YUVA OGSSI Conference.


Yuva OGSSI was also initiated in 2020 to encourage the younger group of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists within OGSSI, modelled on the lines of Yuva FOGSI — a popular annual academic program.
