In the very first year of the course, the students of BBA HM initiated their visit to a healthcare industry for hands-on experience. The objective behind this type of practical training in the first year is to develop a spirit of industrial environment and exposure to various clinical and non-clinical departments of hospitals and health care organizations.

A group of 39 students from BBA-HM 1st year along with two faculty members, Mr. Sougata Saha and Mr. Debasish Ray successfully toured the hospital.
