Irrespective of their branch of study, information technology, technical or professional education, students should utilise their education for the development of the society,” said Supreme Court Judge Justice Dipak Misra while addressing the first convocation of the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) on Tuesday last. Misra advised the medical students to stick to the professional ethics and be polite and humble to the patients.
