The 12 standard girls of Swaminarayan Vidyapith went for an educational tour to Pramukh Swami Medical College and Shri Krishna Hospital, Karamsad. These girls of Science Faculty were accompanied by their Biology Faculty in- charge to get a first-hand – knowledge about medical education. The sprawling hospital campus impressed them a lot.

The girls were thrilled to see the specimens of baby - from young embryo to a full grown baby, the inflammated body parts, x-rays and angiography reports. Thus this museum demonstrated gross anatomy and clinical pathology to students. The students had a realization that though we belong to varied caste, creed, culture, religion and life style, but from inside we all are same. So instead of beautifying our outer appearances, we must focus on the purity of our internal organs.
