About Our Symbol |
|
|
|
 Our college-crest is a shield divided into four quadrants. About and below of these quadrants are Sanskrit and Latin phrases respectively rendered one and the same meaning of our symbol. In the shield on two opposing corners are thirteen lines, each representing thirteen canons of the International Medical Ethics. In the top left and bottom right corners are the Cock of Gujarat and Serpent intertwined on a dragger of the Aesculapius respectively. The cock as a sign on the imperial banner of Gujarat appeared in the time of Bhimdev the first. Siddharaj Jaysinh raised that banner high and mighty the flag of Gujarat was called. As Aesculapius was an order of monks in ancient Greece. Sufferers from every part of the then known world came to the temple of an Aesculapius for a treatment in what can now be quoted with naturopathy. The Intertwined serpent on the dagger of the temple goddess has since then symbolized western medicine.
The symbol means in English
"SHALL FIND A WAY, IF NOT, MAKE ONE"
