How it began!


Let me share something that moves me every time I return to recall the beginning of the department of Developmental paediatrics and Child Neurology at MOSC Medical College!

When the college was seeking for a place to locate the facility, the then Dean, Dr. Radhakrishnan, who also was the head of the department of the Forensic medicine, proposed that he could give us a place the department was not using and would not probably need for a while!

That space attached to the autopsy room since then became a borrowed space where the Child Development Centre is located. Dr. Radhakrishnan, seeing how congested we were and were desirous of more space offered the large autopsy hall, which was no more used. That since has become the activity area and houses the Transition Planning Centre!

Dr. Radhakrishnan's gesture of goodwill with no foreknowledge of how the space would be used was a blessing that has been a benediction on our work!

What matters is goodwill...that is what we can sow to make a difference!
