ANNUAL DAY
SATURDAY, APRIL, 12, 2008
Distinguished Chief Guest of the Annual Day, Prof. J.K.Sinha, the Guest of Honour, Dr.Pooja Bhardwaj, Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Prof.Panjab Singh, Members of the Executive Council of Banaras Hindu University, Deans Faculties of Medicine, Ayurveda and Dental Sciences, Members of the Academic Council, Medical Superintendent, S.S.Hospital, Invited Guests, esteemed Faculty members, Resident Doctors, Students, Employees of the Institute and the Hospital, media persons, ladies and gentlemen,
I am pleased to welcome you on the occasion of the 48th Annual Day of our Institute of Medical Sciences and share with you our achievements during the last one year i.e. 2007 and 2008. The Annual Day gives us opportunity of reviewing our progress each year. This also gives us an occasion to reaffirm our resolve to do even better in the coming years, marching steadily together towards the ultimate aim to realize the dreams of the beloved founder of our Institute. The progress we have made has been entirely driven by the inspiration and encouragement of our ever dynamic and charismatic Vice-Chancellor, Prof.Panjab Singh.
The BanarasHinduUniversity, a temple of learning, was the creation of our great Nationalist leader Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya way back in the year 1916. It has fulfilled the aims of its founder by helping in the development of the country in the field of education, research and personality development. The luminaries that flocked to the services of this great University proudly include Prof.K.N.Udupa, who founded our Institute of Medical Sciences. A great visionary as he was, Prof.Udupa created a unique medical institution with modern Medicine and traditional Indian Medicine-Ayurveda under one roof. I take this opportunity to pay homage on behalf of the Institute to both the founders – Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and Prof.K.N.Udupa. Our whole hearted dedication towards our patients, research and medical education will be, I believe, a great tribute to them. I am extremely happy on the achievements of our Institute faculty members thus far though my expectations from them are even higher and I am sure that my dreams will be fulfilled in future.
With this all, I appraise before you a brief account of what we have attained in the last one year.
