The first batch of 50 students who were admitted to Madurai Medical College after the then Union Health Minister Rajkumari Amrit Kaur inaugurated the institution on August 2, 1954, came together on the virtual platform for a first reunion after 67 years.

Devadoss, 84, who still performs surgeries and teaches, went down memory lane about his first day at the medical college.
