Association of PGI resident docs mark day dedicated to them with wellness session
Chandigarh: The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), PGI, celebrated Doctors' Day with its first-ever grand event — Vitana 1.0, a celebration dedicated to the tireless commitment and compassion of resident doctors.
Prof Vivek Lal, director, PGI, was the chief guest. Senior faculty members and consultants were also present in large numbers to support and join the celebrations.
The evening began with a financial wellness session, addressing the often-overlooked but essential aspect of doctors' lives — financial planning and security. This was followed by a cultural evening where residents showcased their diverse talents through music, dance, and drama.
A symbolic cake-cutting ceremony marked the spirit of unity, dedication, and resilience of doctors at PGI. Renowned comedian Pritish Narula had the audience in splits with his stand-up comedy performance, adding humour to the evening. The celebration concluded on a high note with a DJ night and dinner, where residents, faculty, and guests danced and dined together.
"Vitana 1.0" truly embodied the spirit of gratitude, wellness, and togetherness — a perfect ode to the doctors who continue to serve humanity with unmatched dedication.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Vishnu Jinja, president of the Association of Resident Doctors, said: "Vitana 1.0 was our heartfelt effort to express appreciation for the relentless dedication of resident doctors, who balance demanding professional commitments with personal sacrifices every single day.
We aimed to create an event that nurtures not only professional growth but also personal well-being and camaraderie. We are grateful to the administration and faculty for their support and hope to make this an annual tradition that grows bigger and better each year."
