More than 110 former students of Madras Medical College gathered at the institution’s iconic 129‑year‑old red‑brick heritage building, popularly called the ‘Red Fort’, to mark the 50th anniversary of their entry into medical studies in 1976. The reunion coincided with a charitable pledge by the alumni, together with the Rotary Club of Madras Esplanade, to provide five pink‑coloured autorickshaws for mothers living in destitution.
The five vehicles, each priced at ₹1.75 lakh, were funded jointly by the alumni cohort and the Rotary Club. The donation was announced during the golden‑jubilee celebrations held in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, underscoring the alumni’s commitment to social responsibility alongside their professional achievements.
Madras Medical College, one of India’s oldest medical institutions, has a long tradition of community service, and the partnership with the Rotary Club extends that legacy. By supplying dedicated transport for vulnerable women, the initiative seeks to enhance safety and accessibility, reflecting broader efforts to empower women and address urban mobility challenges in the city.
