Dr. Gargi Sharma, a third-year postgraduate resident of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Varun Arjun Medical College & Rohilkhand Hospital, has brought laurels to the institution by winning the Third Prize in the PG Award Poster Presentation Competition at a prestigious state-level conference.

Varun Arjun University, Shahjahanpur, and its constituent Varun Arjun Medical College & Rohilkhand Hospital have once again showcased excellence in the field of medical education. Dr. Gargi Sharma, a third-year postgraduate resident from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, secured the Third Prize in the PG Award Poster Presentation Competition at the First State Conference on Obstetrics and Gynaecology Update and Advanced Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgery, along with a cash award of ₹1000.

The event was held at Shri Ram Murti Smarak Medical College, Bareilly, under the leadership of Dr. Col. Prof. Shree Santhanam Sampath, Head of the Department and Gynecological Onco & Laparoscopic Surgeon. Dr. Gargi Sharma presented both paper and poster, while interns Dr. Yashi Sharma and Dr. Yukti Tomar also displayed posters and participated actively in the quiz competition, winning prizes.

On this achievement, Dr. Keshav Agrawal, Chancellor; Dr. Ashok Agrawal, Pro-Chancellor; Dr. Lata Agrawal, Vice-Chancellor of BIU Bareilly; and Dr. Kiran Agrawal, Vice-Chancellor of Varun Arjun University, congratulated Dr. Gargi Sharma and encouraged all postgraduate students to take active participation in research and embrace lifelong learning.

Dean and Principal Dr. (Col.) Ravindranath Shukla stated that active involvement in research and innovation forms the foundation of continuous progress. Head of Department Dr. Col. Santhanam Sampath appreciated Dr. Gargi’s dedication, hard work, academic excellence, and commitment to patient care. He highlighted that robotic and laparoscopic surgeries have brought revolutionary advancement in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, allowing doctors to perform surgeries with greater precision and minimal blood loss. These techniques are especially beneficial for uterine surgeries, myomectomy (fibroid removal), and complex cases of endometriosis.

Laparoscopic surgery, being a minimally invasive technique, involves only small incisions and is increasingly used for tubal ligation, cyst removal, hysterectomy, and infertility treatments. All these advanced surgical facilities are available at Varun Arjun Medical College, where many patients have already benefitted from such procedures. Moreover, under the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA), pregnant women are provided with free check-ups, ultrasounds, and necessary counselling, ensuring timely identification of pregnancy-related complications.
