One of the DM student (Nephrology) at Amrita Hospital, Dr. Benoy Shankar and a staff of AIMS, Cochin drowned in a high tide at Lakshadweep. The two friends had gone to Kalpathi near Agati island in Lakshdweep. Dr. Benoy had been working hard at the island for the past 6 months to set up a hospital. (Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences had taken up the Rajiv Gandhi hospital). May all his efforts benefit the poor, a value that was deep rooted in him.
