The Department of Agadtantra & Vidhi Vaidhyaka successfully concluded a highly informative and practical educational visit to the District and Sessions Court, Rajkot. Spanning two intensive days, December 11th and 12th, the visit was a vital component of the students' professional training.

This essential educational trip was led by Dr. Pankaj Bhange and Dr. Shivangi Malaviya, who guided the students through the complex proceedings and explained the intricate medico-legal aspects observed.

To maximize the learning experience, the students were divided into groups and granted the invaluable opportunity to observe live court proceedings in various courtrooms. This direct observation provided a practical window into the judicial system that complements their academic studies.

The key takeaways from this enriching experience directly connected the theoretical knowledge of Forensic Medicine and legal procedures to real-world judicial practice:

• Understanding Medico-Legal Dynamics: Students gained a clearer insight into how medical evidence and reports are presented and debated within a legal framework.
• The Role of Various Witnesses: The visit highlighted the crucial function of different types of witnesses, particularly expert medical witnesses, and the process of giving testimony.
• Practical Jurisprudence: The court environment provided a hands-on understanding of legal protocols and the formal conduct required in judicial settings.

This exposure is absolutely vital for future Ayurvedic practitioners, equipping them with the necessary skills and confidence to handle complex medico-legal situations with both legal accuracy and ethical responsibility.

A heartfelt thank you is extended to our Director, Dr. Manoj Pande, for his constant support and guidance in encouraging such crucial skill-building and educational activities

We also extends a sincere thanks to the Court administration for their exceptional cooperation and support in facilitating this highly enriching and essential educational experience for the students.
