It is said “Wear the white coat with dignity and pride—it is an honor and privilege to get to serve the public as a physician.”
Medicine is a prestigious profession. However, it is not just a job in the traditional sense. It is a calling, a commitment to serve society and care for the vulnerable. With this thought Sevankur organization was formed for Medical students. The main objective to groom the doctors in different walks of life apart from regular studies.
Health workers are not skilled enough in terms of communication skills, dedication, commitment, social awareness etc. ‘Sevankur’ is an interactive platform for college students. This is an activity set up by the students for the students in order to eliminate these flaws in them and develop their overall personality. Continuous interaction of our role models with us at various stages of life and at creative ages is beneficial for the overall development of students. Exposure to different geographic and social contexts broadens students’ horizons. Mere reading of textbooks and good grades are not enough for good and caring health workers.
Doctors working in Dr. Hedgewar Rugnalaya, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, started the activity in 1997. Initially the members of Sevankur were limited, and most of them were from government medical college Aurangabad only. Gradually the size of the group grew and work expanded in many colleges, across the state of Maharashtra. To facilitate the networking, fast communication and expanding its base still wider, needed the digital support.
Any udergraduate (M.B.B.S., B.D.S., B.A.M.S., B.H.M.S., B.O.Th., B.P.Th. ) or Postgraduate student, Interns, Super specialty students can register as a member of Sevankur. Medical officers, teaching staff in Medical Colleges, private practitioners and even non medico can join this activity as volunteers (karyakartas).
