The focus of the workshop is to impart knowledge and skills to first-year MBBS students to face educational, cultural and socio-economic challenges. Dr Bhanu Awasthi, Principal, Tanda medical college, said this here.

He further said when students entered the medical profession they felt stressed not only mentally and physically but also emotionally, therefore, such workshops at the beginning proved beneficial.
