July 1 is celebrated across India as National Doctors' Day, an occasion to recognize and appreciate the invaluable service rendered by medical professionals to humanity and to express our heartfelt gratitude for their dedication. The vocation of a doctor is much more than a profession; it is a noble mission devoted to the well-being, healing, and preservation of human life. Every day, doctors stand beside the sick, offering not only medical treatment but also hope, comfort, and compassion. They are truly instruments in the hands of God. St. Francis of Assisi School is fortunate to have many doctors among its well-wishers and friends. To honour their selfless service, the school celebrated National Doctors' Day on a grand scale. The chief guests for the occasion were the school's friends, Dr. Rajendra Salagare and Dr. Vijayalaxmi Salagare. During the programme, students highlighted the significant role of doctors in society through their speeches. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Rajendra Salagare emphasized the importance of maintaining good health by reminding everyone that "Prevention is better than cure." He encouraged students to avoid junk food and develop the habit of eating healthy home-cooked meals. As a mark of gratitude, the school felicitated the doctors for their immense contribution and support to the institution. Students whose parents are doctors presented them with roses and conveyed their best wishes in appreciation of their dedicated service. Following the programme, the Principal, Fr. Jeson Fernandez, accompanied by a group of students, visited several doctors in the city and presented them with flower bouquets as a token of gratitude for their remarkable contribution to the health and well-being of society.
