I watched a Sound and Light show depicting the history of CMC Vellore in the sunken garden in front of the college chapel! It captured the early years of the beginning of the hospital as a one bed clinic with the narration of the experience which moved a young Dr. Ida Scudder to set out on this journey of responding to the health care needs of people of vellore 116 years ago!
Dr. Sanjeeth Peter who conceived and presented this told me yesterday that the preparation is underway to have it as a permanent feature.
There are at least 150 public functions such as conferences, workshops, etc every year which bring hundreds of visitors to the institution! The story of CMC has an inspirational appeal because, its evolution to what it is today is a miracle... because hundreds of its alumni represent the mission of the institution in their calling and places of work!
CMC Vellore has had a transforming impact on the lives of its alumni!
