Rhapsody 2008 - a symphony of different cultures for medical professionals
it comes as a breath of fragrant air that some right minded faculty members of this Medical University are trying to rouse the dead Georgian Spirit. ‘Rhapsody-2008’, a three day extravaganza (December 14th to 16th) will go a long way to revive the cultural spirit of the medicos.

WDD is celebrated world wide on 14th November, on the birth anniversary of Fredrerick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin. ...For hands that build Durga idols, nothing has changed
