We shall propagate and practice 'institutional practice' - as it results in scientific practice and inculcates 'teamwork', shared responsibility, and optimum utilization of available resources. We believe that collective functioning yields better results. We shall offer an education that sharpens the analytical skills of the mind, builds character, and cultivates responsibility and accountability in each individual for his or her work.
