Sri Siddhartha Medical College

Sri Siddhartha Medical College is out on Honnavar Road in Agalakote. It’s a decent-sized campus with a lot of greenery around if you look in the right spots. The road outside can get a bit lonely at night, but during the day it’s full of students and buses. We have a lot of different buildings for all the various medical subjects. It’s a place where you see people studying under the trees or rushing to get to their practicals on time. The atmosphere is fairly relaxed but there’s always a sense of work being done. We handle everything from the admin side to the teaching side right here. It’s an older campus in some parts, so it has a bit of character. You get to know the people who work in the different offices. It’s not some high-tech glass building; it’s made of bricks and mortar and a lot of daily effort. People come to Agalakote specifically for this college. We don't try to be something we aren't. It’s just a place for medical education on Honnavar Road. Some days the weather is great, and other days it’s just too hot to move, but the classes go on anyway. We are just a group of people working together to keep the college going. There's usually a stray dog or two napping in the shade near the gate.
