Betsurmath, JSS Medical College Principal Dr. H. Basavana Gowdappa, Professor and HoD-Oral Pathology & Micro Biology and IRONMAN achiever Dr. Usha Hegde and other participants.

NASH is the progressive form of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and affects more than 115 million people worldwide.
Just look at them, including that pot-bellied person at the centre of the photograph!
They seem to be learning how to walk, after spending rriding vehicles!
So, this congregation is from the Lingayat JSS Medical College, and the Lingayat crowd from there beginning with the Lingayat principal is taking part. Ulliya Mahime!!
