KAKINADA: One day a month, doctors must provide their services voluntarily for the good of society in rural and tribal areas, suggested Pawan Kalyan, Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh.
He attended Rangaraya Medical College (RMC) along with Rajya Sabha MP Sana Satish Babu, MLC Karri Padmashree, Government Whip P Hari Prasad, former Minister Kamineni Srinivas, MLAs, and various corporations’ chairmen to lay the foundation stone for a new administrative building on the RMC premises.
Speaking on the occasion, he stated that through better services, every doctor must support a healthy society. He added that Rangaraya Medical College (RMC) is a prestigious institution in the state because it produces many doctors.
“Doctors are equal to gods; that is why they are called Vaidyo Narayano Hari,” he said. “Parents give birth, but doctors grant a second life through their heartfelt services.”
After the event, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan laid the foundation stone for the new administration building. The programme was held behind RMC’s old administration building, a heritage structure that authorities are preserving.
Pawan Kalyan appreciated the Rangaraya Medical College Old Students’ Association (RAMCOSA) members for coming forward to construct the building with their funds of Rs.10.11 Cr.
Pawan Kalyan noted that even as times change, Rangaraya Medical College has never abandoned its roots. It continues the tradition of imparting not only medical education but also humanity and a spirit of service.
The college provides treatment to thousands of poor patients every day and strives to ensure that every student who graduates from this campus becomes not only a good doctor but also a good human being who contributes positively to society.
He said they are thinking about the future of the youth and that a broad perspective should be fostered among them. He stated that thoughts based on caste, religion, and regional differences are not right. He praised donors who have generously contributed to many educational and medical institutions, such as Rangaraya Medical College.
