At the recent World Dental Show held in Mumbai, students of JSS Dental College & Hospital brought national recognition to the institution by excelling in co-curricular, academic, and research domains. These remarkable achievements were possible due to the continuous encouragement of our esteemed authorities and the divine blessings of His Holiness Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamiji. We express our sincere gratitude to the institutional leadership—Pro Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Registrar, and Dean (Academics), JSSAHER—for their unwavering support

A major highlight of the event was the prestigious “Dr. R. Ahmed National Student Award” conferred upon Mr. Ujjwal Kumar, 4th Year UG student, by the Indian Dental Association (IDA) and Sensodyne. This singular national honor, presented on 8–9 November 2025 at the Jio World Centre, Mumbai, recognized him in the category of “Excellence in Sports”, along with commendations for his academic brilliance, commitment to continuous learning, and excellence in dental education and co-curricular pursuits

In the scientific research category, our students excelled once again

Mr. Ujjwal Kumar secured the Best Paper Award for his ICMR-supported research titled “Interprofessional Oral Health Training for Nursing Students.

Mr. Kiran N. Nambiar also delivered a commendable presentation on his innovative research, “Efficacy of Behavioural Interventions in Paediatric Patients Undergoing Panoramic Radiography

Both research works were meticulously guided and mentored by Dr. Nandlal B

These achievements stand as a testament to the dedication of our students and the high standards of mentorship within the institution. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry for fostering a robust research environment and providing invaluable leadership

A special note of gratitude is reserved for Dr. Nandlal B., whose exemplary mentorship, consistent encouragement, and guidance beyond the curriculum played a pivotal role in shaping the students’ research capabilities and contributing directly to these prestigious national accolades
