The initiative also aimed to promote interdisciplinary learning by bringing together participants from diverse academic backgrounds and encouraging collaborative research approaches. The program commenced with an inauguration ceremony at 10:00 AM. The event was inaugurated by Dr. Pushpalata K, Dean, IQAC, JSS AHER, and Dr. M. N. Suma, Vice Principal, JSS Medical College, by watering the plant, symbolizing the nurturing of knowledge and academic growth. This was followed by the vote of thanks delivered by Dr. Pratham Mehta. The workshop was facilitated by Dr. Deepa Bhat, Professor and Head, Department of Anatomy; Dr. Shwethashree M, Associate Professor, Department of Community Medicine; and Dr. Pratham Mehta, Tutor, Department of Anatomy.
