Speaking on the occasion, Eatala said, "I agree the college building is in a dilapidated state. Since it at the heart of medical education in the state, the government will look into all the deficiencies and problems of the college and will address them shortly and try and bring back the glory it had in the bygone era.

Despite the medical advances, newer viral fevers and diseases are constantly plaguing the common man. As students of this renowned college, you should commit yourself and excel as doctors and provide succor to these patients."
