BIOQUEST is a Biochemistry quiz held at Goa Medical College every year by Dr Chitra Dhume, Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry. It has been a privilege for The Arundhati Foundation to be associated with the quiz. The Foundation sponsors prizes in the form of Pathology Textbooks for the winners of this quiz since 2015. Biochemistry was a subject that Arundhati had excelled in, and this is also in line with our aim to encourage the pursuit of excellence in Pathology. We deem it a matter of pride to be associated with Dr Chitra Dhume and her Department of Biochemistry which has been holding this event very efficiently.
This year, the quiz was held on the 22nd of March 2018.
The Winners of first prize of BIOCHEM QUIZ 2018 were
1. Mr. Chirag Sandesh Kharangate
2. Mr. Jayram alias Jaykishor Naik
The Arundhati Foundation congratulates the winners and sincerely thanks Dr Chitra Dhume and all the wonderful members of the Department of Biochemistry, Goa Medical College for this event.
A lotus is handed over to each of the winners. The lotus is a symbol of The Arundhati Foundation. We all know that the beautiful lotus grows in muddy waters. When our lives become muddy through difficult circumstances, it is possible to emerge with our effort, resolve, and perseverance, to make a difference. We hope that the lotus of The Arundhati Foundation carries this message to everyone it touches.
It’s an honour to hold a biochemistry quiz in the memory of late Dr Arundhathi Sanjay Tambwekar. She excelled in studies throughout her short span on this planet. This is a small gesture from the whole team of the Department of Biochemistry- Goa Medical College. I am truly grateful for the help extended by my Department.
