Originating from humble backgrounds in Ben, South Sikkim, and Adarsh Goan, East Sikkim, respectively, these fourth-semester students from Medhavi Skills University's School of Healthcare have journeyed from the tranquil landscapes of Sikkim to the forefront of national recognition. Demonstrating exceptional skill and determination, they've soared through regional and national competitions, clinching Silver and Bronze at India Skills, thus proudly representing the shining Sikkim and the North East.

Their journey of Krishna and Radhika began with the Track-2 competition for the Health & Social Care category for the Eastern Region organized by the Healthcare Sector Skill Council (HSSC) and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), where they emerged as the top contenders. Subsequently, they were trained by the expert Faculty and Mentors of MSU for the National Level Competition.
