Pharmacy students share how field volunteering transformed their academic life and career focus.
"Volunteering with NSS gave me perspective that no textbook could ever provide. Standing beside villagers in Mohgaon and counseling them on medication compliance showed me what true community pharmacy is all about."
"Organizing the college blood donation camp taught me team communication and emergency logistics. Seeing more than 100 people step forward to donate because of our student awareness team was exhilarating."
"The 7-day residential camp was the most memorable week of my college journey. We worked from 6 AM to dusk, planted trees, conducted street plays, and left behind lasting friendships in the village."
