Tanda hosts 1st Himachal state medical meet

The campus of Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College and Hospital in Tanda (Kangra) hosted its first-ever state-level medical conference, attracting over 250 delegates from across the country.

The event provided a platform for MBBS students to exchange ideas, present research and explore emerging trends in medical science. For students of the local medical college, the conference offered exposure to high-level academic discourse. The opportunity to interact with peers and experts from diverse institutions nationwide broadened their outlook and inspired a renewed sense of ambition and purpose.

“This was more than just a conference — it was the beginning of a tradition,” said Agrima Kapoor, organising secretary of the event. Her words captured the shared sentiment that the initiative should evolve into an annual academic gathering.

Beyond formal lectures and presentations, the conference fostered networking and collaboration, encouraging young medicos to think beyond textbooks and reflect on their role in shaping the future of healthcare. Sessions emphasised the importance of research, ethics and innovation in tackling modern medical challenges.
