Vellore Trip Diary - Part 2

The second day at Vellore was somewhat a busy one, and we had to wake up early morning so that we would be able to report at the CMC at 8 AM. We got early, had a cup of coffee and we were off to the Christian Medical College in Vellore. As we were a little late, we decided not have the breakfast on that day and we reached CMC at around 7:30 AM. But upon reaching CMC we found out that we were actually asked to report at the Bagayam Campus in Vellore itself. From CMC we hired an auto and rushed to the CMC bagayam campus and within 20 minutes we reached the Bagayam campus.

We located the Community Health Training Center ( CHTC ) in Bagayam, where we had to report. It was almost 8 AM when we reached there and there were 2 more candidates who were present there. The procedures started at 8 AM with the medical checkup and blood samples of each candidate were taken and were asked to wait till 1 PM when we would be taken to the Medical College on the college bus. The blood samples were taken and we were free by around 9 AM and had to wait till 1 PM in the Bagayam campus. So we decided to roam around the campus which was spread over a large area.

The peculiarity of the Begayam Campus in Vellore is that it is almost made to be eco friendly and it is covered with trees and plants all over. We first had a light breakfast from a nearby Canteen and started roaming from one side to another side of the campus. The whole of the campus had an attractive natural beauty as trees were planted in almost all the parts of the campus, making it feel extra green when compared with other parts of Vellore.

There was also a small beautiful Chapel inside the Bagayam Campus where we spend some good time. The surrounding of the Chapel was also amazing as it had a small pool with some unique flowers in it. We managed to spend the time till 1 PM, when the college bus was ready to take us to the Medical College in Vellore for further check up. Once we got out of the Bagayam campus, we started feeling the heat of the city. It was then we realized how eco friendly the Bagayam campus was and how helpful it was to have trees planted all over.

We reached CMC hospital by around 1:30 PM and got all the medical check ups completed by around 4 PM. After that we were asked to leave for the day and to report the next day at 8 AM at the CMC hospital campus. We returned to our room and this time we got really tired and had a light coffee and spend our time at the room till 8 in the night. After that we got out and had dinner at the hotel Sastha near the Circuit house in Vellore and this time also the dinner was not of good quality. We returned back to our room and slept earlier so that we can wake earlier in the morning.
