We had the inauguration of the dental canteen in the basement, followed by the inauguration of the multispecialty surgical clinic located on the first floor.

After the acknowledgment of these events our Chancellor Dr. Vijay Patil, First Lady Shivani Patil and their son Rajveer Patil proceeded with the cutting of beautiful three-tiered cake followed by a speech delivered by Dr. Vijay Patil sir enlightening us with his words of wisdom.

He supported the students and teacher’s enthusiasm and efforts and encouraged us to further strengthen our morals and values of teamwork and the importance of our mental and physical health, guiding us to improve and augment not just our dental work but also the extra curriculum that will in turn culminate not just a good doctor but also a good role model.
