Bhubaneswar: The first batch of 150 MBBS students of the Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital’s second campus, at Phulnakhara on NH-16, were welcomed at an inauguration ceremony on Monday.

As students from across the country entered the new academic building of the institute — the second medical college under Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan (SOA) Deemed to be University – the university’s Founder President Prof. (Dr) Manojranjan Nayak congratulated them and wished them a great future in the profession.

“Learn and study with purpose. You’ll not only need to treat and heal patients but become a source of hope and comfort for those in pain,” he said in a message read out during the programme.

Prof. (Dr) Nayak assured the students that the institution will go out of the way to ensure they didn’t lack anything in their academic pursuit.
