Ludhiana, October 15, 2024: PG and UG students from the Department of Community Medicine at DMC&H have won laurels in an essay writing competition organized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), Delhi. The theme of this competition was 'Experiences about the Family Adoption Program,' in which students shared their own  on-ground experiences of helping families overcome various challenges and improve their quality of life.

Dr Daljit Kaur, a PG Resident, bagged 2nd position in India in the essay competition, recognized by Sh. JP Nadda, Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers.
