Dear Hardonians |
| |
|
Lady Hardinge Medical College was started on March
17, 1916. To begin with there were only 16 students
which increased slowly and steadily . In 1956, when
my admission came through an All India Entrance
Test the number was 60 , which as of now is 130.
To keep in touch with the graduates an Old Students
Association (OSA)was started in early years.OSA
organised an elaborate LUNCH in March every year.
It continued as such till 1995 when some graduates
especially Dr. Indra De and others felt the need
to be more active old students. A large meeting
was called wherein everyone felt the need to rename
OSA as LHMC Alumni Association and be more proactive
in helping our Alma mater.Thus OSA was renamed LHMC
Alumni Association in February 1995.The main objectives
were:

|
| |
- To get the Association registered
- To make life members of the Association
- To publish a Directory of the Life Members
- To collect funds for starting scholarships
- To start scientific sessions/orations
- To honour Silver Jubilee Batch Student
|
| |
LHMC Alumni Directory got published in 1996
and was inaugurated by Dr. Sushila Nayar, a Hardonian and
Union Miinister of Health. |
| |
Now more than ten years hence LHMC Alumni Association
is in fairly good position, though there is lot of scope for
improvement.There is funding to our Association from LHMC
Association of North America. We are obliged to them. The
number of prizes, medals and scholarships have been steadily
increasing. Silver Jubilee Batches have been doing excellent
job in terms of honouring their teachers, exotic entertainment
and donation towards our Association. |

I entered this great institution in 1956 and
had to prefer LHMC to newly started AIIMS. Since Anatomy was
my favourite subject, Anatomy Department took me where I served
for 32 years.Since students were from many states we got to
know their diverse culture. Our classmate Dr. Sheela Ganju
took three of us to Srinagar in 1958 and showed us the Place.
We are so obliged to her and her family for this kind act. |
| |
We learnt lots of traditions and values in this
institution. Who can forget the STAFF PARTY TO THE STUDENTS
which brought staff and students very close to each other.The
seniors in our Department were strict as far as work was concerned
but were very kind and compassionate otherwise. With guidance
from Dr.Mohini Kaul, Dr. Indira Bahl and Dr. Chandrama Anand
we could publish Text Book of Histology, Text Book of Neuroanatomy
and Basics of Human Embryology. Last but not the least an
opportunity was provided to me to edit the three volumes of
B.D.Chaurasia's Human Anatomy which got published in 2004.
With education from LHMC my hands are full with books to write
and edit. |

I am extremely grateful to Almighty for giving
me an opportunity to study and serve in LHMC. |

With best wishes |
