Karaikal Women Police Officials shared their experience through the survey that the reason of sexual harassment is the lack of gender-friendly environment. The Police Officials emphasized that there is an urgent need to understand and solve this problem of women safety so that they can also grow equally like men in their own country. Following Tips Regarding Women Safety was given by the Women Police Officials of Karaikal. 1. Self defence techniques are the first and foremost thing to which each and every woman must be aware of and get proper self-defense training for their safety. 2.They should at once avoid any situation which they feel bad for them. 3.Escape and run is also a good way to reduce some risks of women whenever they become in problem. They should never go with any unknown person alone at some unknown places. 5.Pepper spray can also be proved as a useful self-defence tool however it has a drawback that some people cannot be harmed through it even after full-face spray. It may not stop the attacker so women should not depend on it completely and use other techniques also. 6. They must have all the emergency numbers with them and whatsapp also 7. Women should be very conscious while driving the car and going to any trip. Few Safety Laws like Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act 1986, Muslim women (protection of rights on divorce) Act 1986, Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act 1987, National Commission for Women Act 1990, Prohibition of Sex Selection Act 1994, Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012, Sexual Harassment of Women at Work Place Act 2013, were explained in brief to the participants of the event.","date":"2022-12-12","department":"","imageUrls":["https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/sitserverlessrestapi.appspot.com/o/images%2F404-2.jpg?alt=media&token=634158d5-1bd4-40b3-8f86-6d40cbde8ddf","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/sitserverlessrestapi.appspot.com/o/images%2F404-1.jpg?alt=media&token=1d252883-d7ce-468e-88d8-0a5d933e49ba","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/sitserverlessrestapi.appspot.com/o/images%2F404-3.jpg?alt=media&token=fb79e007-248c-406e-a944-941f61b72999","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/sitserverlessrestapi.appspot.com/o/images%2F404-4.jpg?alt=media&token=4d04d033-4729-4b07-9075-3accd11cff40","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/sitserverlessrestapi.appspot.com/o/images%2F404-5.jpg?alt=media&token=f04f77b8-a52a-4e41-a8a8-fa9357dd803e"],"title":"Women Police Meeting"},"-Nyy6aEeGQ2g-lDBY97y":{"category":"CommitteesMeetings","content":"The ECO Green Club Meeting was conducted on 12.12.2022 at 2.30 PM in Council hall.

At the beginning of the 20th century, when medicine became the truly scientific enterprise we now know, the “whiteness” or “pureness” of medicine became reflected in the garb of physicians and nurses. Nowadays, the White Coat Ceremony welcomes students embarking on their medical careers to the community of physicians, by giving them this powerful symbol of compassion and honour. It also gives them a standard against which they must measure their every act of care to the patients who trust them. The white coat is a symbol of caring, trust, and professionalism that they must earn from patients. It carries a real symbolism with it: seeing someone in a white coat in the hospital signifies that you are someone who knows what is going on. Likewise this years Coating Ceremony was held on 20.10.2023 in our College premises on Lecture Theatre 4 .The function Started with Prayer Song followed by Welcome address given by Dr. M.

The sessions also delved into strategies for embedding entrepreneurship within the existing academic framework, enabling faculty to act as effective facilitators and mentors for budding student innovators.\n\nThe sessions were conducted by expert trainers certified by the Wadhwani Foundation, who brought in a wealth of practical knowledge, real-world case studies, and interactive group activities that kept the participants deeply engaged. Each session was followed by discussions, reflections, and collaborative tasks that allowed participants to internalize the concepts and apply them to their teaching contexts.\n\nThe program received an overwhelmingly positive response from all attendees, who appreciated the opportunity to broaden their teaching perspectives and expressed enthusiasm for applying the new strategies in their classrooms. Faculty members described the sessions as “transformative,” “highly relevant,” and “an essential stepping stone toward academic innovation and student empowerment.”\n\nThe successful conduct of this FDP not only reflects VMRF-DU’s commitment to academic excellence and professional development but also strengthens its collaboration with national-level institutions like the Wadhwani Foundation. Such partnerships are expected to pave the way for future training programs, student entrepreneurship initiatives, and skill development interventions aligned with India’s vision for innovation-driven education.","date":"2025-05-21","department":"VMCH and VMRF-DU","imageUrls":["https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F637-3.jpg?alt=media&token=e311e5a1-f370-4292-bc57-be3f31ad6e23","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F637-4.jpg?alt=media&token=887f1b47-cf9e-48fd-8076-dca1f118cf57","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F637-5.jpg?alt=media&token=bbaa869d-224c-43e2-9839-8e22e7eb75a5","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F637-1.jpg?alt=media&token=1e0edecc-7df0-4b7b-a2f5-458205291660","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F637-2.jpg?alt=media&token=0e55e88e-4af8-44ae-9d38-fd195f9359cd"],"title":"Faculty Development Program 2025 S4"},"-OTkU53jWDVPv_BAsY9s":{"category":"Achievements","content":"Vinayaka Mission’s Medical College Inaugurates Modern Central Library in Karaikal 29 May 2025, Karaikal: Vinayaka Missions Medical College, a constituent of Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation (Deemed to be University), celebrated the grand opening of its newly built Central Library today which is a major step forward in enhancing learning and research facilities for its students and faculty.

Vitiligo is a rare autoimmune skin disorder in which melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells, are destroyed by the body’s immune system, resulting in smooth, whitish patches on the skin. It affects about 1% of the global population and can occur in individuals of all genders and ethnicities, commonly between the ages of 20 and 30. The theme for World Vitiligo Day 2025, “Innovation for Every Skin,” highlighted the revolutionary role of artificial intelligence in improving vitiligo diagnosis, treatment, and personalized care while aiming to make healthcare more equitable and accessible. As part of the observance, a special interactive session was held with vitiligo patients and their attenders, where counseling and appropriate medications were provided by the department’s faculty and postgraduates. To raise public awareness, pamphlets were distributed by postgraduate students with the messages “Treating Skin, Healing Minds” and “All That Is White Is Not Vitiligo,” addressing misconceptions about the condition. Adding an emotional and impactful dimension, our undergraduate students performed a role play featuring powerful scenes that portrayed the daily struggles of individuals living with vitiligo, focusing on challenges in social acceptance, marriage prospects, and career progression. The skit was well-received and served as an eye-opener for the audience. The program concluded with a vote of thanks by our Dermatology Postgraduate Dr.Sai Madhumitha. The initiative was greatly appreciated and benefited several patients and attendees by raising awareness, dispelling myths, and encouraging early intervention and community support for those affected by vitiligo.","date":"2025-06-25","department":"Department of Dermatology","imageUrls":["https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F650-3.jpg?alt=media&token=3b43949f-5084-44c0-906e-d2caeaf62f9d","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F650-2.jpg?alt=media&token=810699a6-2a3c-452d-afc4-c16df997ca0a","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F650-1.jpg?alt=media&token=94a2c74a-8d7d-4cbf-b00e-ab84df9eb6ab"],"title":"All That Is White Is Not Vitiligo-Breaking Myths&Building Understanding@ VMCH"},"-OUzzniG0q0LqHxavmXF":{"category":"WorldHealthDays","content":"National Doctors’ Day – A Tribute from the Heart\nEvery year on July 1st, National Doctors’ Day is observed across India to honour and celebrate the tireless service of doctors and healthcare professionals. At Vinayaka Missions Medical College, Karaikal, this special day was marked with heartfelt gratitude and reflection on the immeasurable sacrifices made by our medical community. This year’s theme, “Behind the Mask: Who Heals the Healer?” beautifully captures the silent emotional struggles that doctors endure while selflessly serving humanity. Often perceived as resilient and invincible, doctors hide their own pain behind a comforting smile, bearing not just the weight of patients’ illnesses but also their hopes and fears.\n\nDuring times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors stood as beacons of hope, risking their lives, distancing themselves from loved ones, and braving fear and fatigue to care for the sick. Their dedication went beyond duty—it was an act of courage, compassion, and unwavering humanity. A world without enough doctors faces longer wait times and reduced quality of care. The presence of committed physicians is not just necessary but it is life-sustaining.\n\nThe event at our college was held in the Hospital Administration Quadrangle in the presence of our Dean Prof. Dr. K. Cheran, Deputy Dean (Administration) Prof. Dr. G. Vijayakumar Nair, and Deputy Dean (Academics) Prof. Dr. M. Thirumaran, along with faculty, staff, and students. It was a touching reminder that while doctors continue to heal countless lives, they too need appreciation, empathy, and support.

During these structured sessions, students are given the opportunity to interact with patients in a supervised setting, observe history taking and general physical examination, and appreciate the importance of empathy, professionalism, and ethical conduct in medical practice.\n\nFaculty members further reinforce learning by explaining the clinical relevance of core subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry, enabling students to meaningfully correlate theoretical concepts with bedside applications. This integrated approach fosters analytical thinking and nurtures early clinical reasoning skills among students.\n\nThe ECE programme serves as a vital academic initiative that enhances student motivation, strengthens communication competencies, and builds professional confidence from the very beginning of the medical journey. By providing structured clinical immersion at the preclinical stage, the programme lays a strong foundation for developing competent, compassionate, and patient-centered future medical professionals.","date":"2026-02-13","department":"VMCH Academic Department","imageUrls":["https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F771-2.jpg?alt=media&token=9adaaf40-117c-44f0-b3a7-9d4f38fa6c95","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F771-1.jpg?alt=media&token=9529d619-9b62-4daa-8239-3185b3810fa6","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/vmmckkleduin.firebasestorage.app/o/images%2F771-3.jpg?alt=media&token=6f8552f2-2cfc-410e-b099-7444664d202a"],"title":"Excellence Begins at the Bedside : Shaping Patient-Centered Doctors Through Early Clinical Immersion"},"-Omu8O2oJmqV5CnoFrRC":{"category":"MedicalCamps","content":"Medical Camp was organized at Thirumarugal village on 13-02-2026 by the Outreach Department of our college under the esteemed guidance of our Dean, Dr. K.
