A word from the Secretary, Bapuji Educational Association
Dear friends,
Every time I walk past the college, I think of the young men and women who first came through its gates in 1965 — a little nervous, far from home, and full of hope. Many of you arrived exactly like that. You left as doctors, and you took something of Davangere with you wherever you went.
It has been one of the quiet joys of my work to hear where life has taken you: to villages that needed a doctor, to great hospitals in our cities, and to every corner of the world. Please know that the Bapuji family has never stopped being proud of you.
This portal is our way of saying: come home. Look up the friend who shared your hostel room, the batchmate you lost touch with, the teacher you still quote to your own students. Tell us where you are and what you are doing — we would truly love to know.
With warm regards and every good wish,
S.S. Mallikarjun
Secretary, Bapuji Educational Association, Davangere
A word from the Principal, J.J.M. Medical College
Dear alumni,
Some of the most moving hours I have spent at this college were not in a lecture hall, but turning the pages of our old admission registers. There you are — your name in careful handwriting, your photograph pasted in on the day you joined, looking back at us across the years.
We have brought those pages together here, batch by batch, undergraduate and postgraduate, so that you can find yourself and your classmates once again. If a name is misspelt or a photograph is missing, please tell us — this is your record as much as ours.
Our students today walk the same corridors you did. Nothing inspires them more than hearing from you: a word of advice, a place for an elective, a story from your own first year. Whatever you can share, it will matter.
Claim your page, add a photograph of yourself today, and say hello to your batch. Welcome home — we have missed you.
With affection and best wishes,
Dr. Shukla Shetty
Principal, J.J.M. Medical College, Davangere
