Here is a note from President - Rtn Tarun Agarwal.

"Today’s on occasion of Doctor’s Day, our Rtn. Rajasekar arranged for Flower bouquets, Shawls to recognise the doctors and nursing staff,  a huge and tasty Cake, coffee for all people there,; all at his expense of Rs. 8,500 for which he politely declined to take any reimbursement.  What a wonderful gesture by Raj. The doctors read aloud the Hypocritical Oath (ancient original version, and it’s was interesting to know that in 1970s a newer version was adopted in Geneva)."
