Pondicherry
By our Staff Reporter
PONDICHERRY, DEC. 19. The Education Minister of Pondicherry, K. Lakshminarayanan, has said that a Government-run medical college would be started here soon . Presenting awards for sports and academic activities to students of the privately managed Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) at celebrations for the first college day cum Christmas on the college premises here on Saturday, Mr. Lakshminarayanan said the Government college would complement the private institutions in offering medical courses. He paid rich compliments to the contributions made by minority institutions in educational sector. The Member of Parliament, M. Ramadass, who felicitated the students on the occasion, said the very fact that PIMS had obtained recognition in 12 courses by the National Board of Examinations showed that it had made great progress within a short span of its formation. Mr. Ramadass said globalisation had brought in its wake several opportunities and challenges. The inflow of a large number of experts from other countries, he said, meant quality and efficiency would be on the top of the agenda. He appealed to the Pondicherry Administration to extend their help and cooperation to PIMS, as its services regarding medical education and health care had been useful to the people of Pondicherry and the neighbouring pockets. The principal cum director of PIMS, Abraham G. Thomas, who presented the college day report, said the college currently had a staff strength 1250, while it had started with only 25 a couple of years back. He said a wide range of speciality treatments had been available in the hospital and that the community health care programme had benefited 5000 villagers. His Grace Yakob Mar Irenaios, the Bishop of the Diocese of Madras and the president of the Madras Medical Mission, who presented the college day address, said a holistic approach was essential in medical care.
