In a momentous event held in Visakhapatnam, 97 BDS and 34 MDS students successfully culminated their dental medical education journey by receiving degrees at the 17th graduation ceremony of GITAM Dental College and Hospital.

The ceremony, which took place on Saturday, was graced by the presence of Dr. Ashok Khandelwal, Vice-Chancellor of Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University (Jabalpur) and member of the Dental Council of India, who served as the chief guest and delivered an inspiring address to the graduates.

Dr. Khandelwal emphasized the prestige and promising prospects within the field of dental medicine, highlighting its evolving nature into a technology-driven practice.

He also shed light on global efforts, citing countries like Norway, Sweden, and Hungary, which have undertaken initiatives to translate medical education literature into local languages.
