Tagore Medical College

Tagore Medical College is situated in Rathinamangalam, which is part of the Melakottaiyur area. It is a bit of a distance from the city, so it can feel a little isolated at times, but that makes for a good study environment. The campus is fairly large with white buildings that you can see from the road. We have everything a medical college needs, like lecture halls, labs, and the hospital wing. It is a busy place in the mornings with people arriving for their shifts. We don't go in for any promotional talk or "mission" statements. We just try to keep the place running and the students learning. The staff room is often filled with the smell of coffee and the sound of people talking about their schedules. The wind blows quite a bit out here in Melakottaiyur, so there is usually a little dust on the windowsills no matter how often we clean them. It is a very functional, practical place. Most of the students stay in the nearby hostels, so the area has a young feel to it. We have a canteen that does a brisk business in snacks and tea. It is not a glamorous life, but it is an honest one. We just do our jobs and try to make sure everything is in order for the next day of classes.
