Profound gratitude to our three esteemed Resource Persons from DKMS Foundation India - Ms. Saswati Dutta, Mr. Pritam Biswas and Monumi Roy, who travelled all the way from Banglore and Kolkata to enlighten our students and to eradicate blood cancer with a noble mission.

Heartfelt thanks to our dedicated NSS Programme Officers for their impeccable planning and execution, to our NSS Leaders and Volunteers for living the motto "NOT ME, BUT YOU", and to our 5th Semester Students for their mature and compassionate participation.
