100 conferred Ayurveda degrees during JSS Ayurveda Medical College Convocation

Recently, JSS Ayurveda Medical College held its convocation where hundreds of students were conferred with Ayurveda degrees. 

AYUSH Ministry’s National Commission for Indian System of Medicine Board of Ayurveda President Dr B.S. Prasad inaugurated the convocation of JSS Ayurveda Medical College, Lalitadripura Road. He said, “There is an increased necessity of doctors across the globe including India. Those studying medical sciences have more responsibility than just getting a Degree.” 

“JSS Educational Institutions, apart from providing better basic facilities, are offering quality education and the entire administrative board is working hard in this direction. If so many of you have passed out successfully in examinations, it is only because of the sincere efforts of the teachers who are playing an important role in shaping your future as doctor. Without teachers’ efforts, nothing can be achieved. Hence, I congratulate the entire teaching community,” he said, as reported by Star of Mysore.

Provide quality treatment to patients: Dr. B.S. Prasad

He advised the medical students who got the degree to focus on providing quality treatment during the practice period. “Now-a-days, there is an increased necessity of doctors not only in India but across the globe. The COVID pandemic, apart from haunting the humanity, has forced us to learn about taking precautionary measures,” he added.

"The lifestyle and food habits of people now have changed considerably compared to the last 15 years. Everybody used to finish their dinner early and had a peaceful sleep. But now, with the changed lifestyle, people are sleeping late and getting up late which is causing many diseases. We need to create awareness about these changed life and food habits through our Ayurvedic System of Medicine,” said Dr. Prasad.

“The Union Government has recently implemented a programme ‘Heal in India; Heal by India’ providing opportunities to Indian health workers to go to foreign countries in pursuit of their professional ambitions and separate VISAs are being given in this connection. Students should visit foreign countries under this programme, learn about Ayurveda system being practiced there and also have information about the tourism industry of those countries,” concluded Dr Prasad.
