Held on September 8, the event followed this year\u2019s theme, \u201cThe Role of Physiotherapy and Physical Activity in the Prevention, Management, and Rehabilitation of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke.\u201d The programme opened with an engaging street play, using performance and storytelling to create awareness about physiotherapy, health and the importance of physical activity. The cultural presentation was followed by the formal inauguration, introductions and a series of addresses by the distinguished dignitaries. The event brought together Prof. Manoshi RoyChowdhury, Co-Chairperson, Techno India Group; Prof. (Dr.) Saikat Maitra, Vice Chancellor, Techno India University; Prof. Dr. Sujoy Biswas, Registrar and Director &amp; CEO, Techno India Group; Dr. Rina Paladhi, Director, Techno India University; Prof. Dr. Atanu Raha (IFS Retd.); Dr. Gautam Majumdar, Pro Vice Chancellor, Techno India University; Prof. Dr. Bhaswati Mitra, Controller of Examinations; Dr. Amartya Sinha, Assistant Director, School of Allied Health Sciences; Dr. Kusum Agarwal, HOD, Physiotherapy Department; and Dr. Anup Ghosh, HOD, Department of Management. Prof. Manoshi RoyChowdhury spoke about the wider impact of physiotherapy on health and quality of life. Highlighting the importance of patient care and communication, she remarked, \u201cA few words help you to get better even before the medicine is given.\u201d \u2026\u201cAge is not a barrier. Students want to learn, and that is what learning is all about.\u201d \u2026\u201cA way to keep us better, help us live and go ahead with the best of our lives, with the best mindset and the best physical fitness.\u201d Prof. Dr. Sujoy Biswas placed movement at the centre of the celebration, reinforcing the message of the day through the lines, \u201cMovement is not merely an ability. It is freedom, independence and the very expression of life.\u201d \u2026\u201cWhen physiotherapy restores movement, it restores hope.\u201d \u2026\u201cMove for health, heal for heart and give every life the power to rise again.\u201d Speaking on the evolution of physiotherapy, Prof. (Dr.) Saikat Maitra connected the profession\u2019s growth with changing lifestyles and scientific advancement. He observed, \u201cPhysiotherapy entered a golden age when computers became a big part of our lives and most of us became habituated to sedentary lifestyles.\u201d \u2026\u201cIf we control our breath, take up certain exercises along with meditation, the rate of healing is faster.\u201d \u2026\u201cModern science gave physiotherapy a new lease of life.\u201d Prof. Dr. Atanu Raha reflected on the remarkable complexity of the human body and the role of physiotherapists in maintaining and restoring its functioning. He observed, \u201cThe human body is one of the finest mechanisms, one of the finest machines, that has been built by nature, which no human being or intelligence can recreate.\u201d \u2026\u201cAI can be a small tool in their hand, but unless a physiotherapist is there, no robot, no machine can do their job.\u201d Dr. Rina Paladhi highlighted the balance between technological advancement and human connection in healthcare. Emphasising the emotional dimension of physiotherapy, she said, \u201cTechnology can support treatment, but empathy remains at the heart of healing.\u201d \u2026\u201cA good physiotherapist does not simply treat muscles and joints. They give patience, confidence, motivation and hope.\u201d&#8230; \u201cLearn with dedication, serve with compassion, keep upgrading yourself and wherever your career takes you, always make a positive difference in the life of your patient.\u201d Adding a preventive healthcare perspective, Dr. Gautam Majumdar highlighted the importance of physiotherapy beyond conventional post-treatment rehabilitation. He said, \u201cPhysiotherapy is not only for post-surgery or post-treatment; preventive care can also be ensured through physiotherapy.\u201d \u2026\u201cPhysiotherapy is such a healing process that gives you confidence. That confidence for regular life is quite essential.\u201d Dr. Amartya Sinha emphasised that physiotherapy extends far beyond injury management. He described it as \u201cMuch more than treating pain or helping someone recover from an injury.\u201d \u2026\u201cRemain curious, keep learning, question existing practices and, most importantly, always put the patient at the centre of your care.\u201d Adding a vibrant cultural touch to the celebration, the event featured a lively cultural programme with dance and singing performances by the students. The performances brought energy and enthusiasm to the gathering, showcasing the students\u2019 creativity and talent while complementing the day\u2019s message of health, movement and well-being. The event served as a meaningful platform to recognise the evolving role of physiotherapy in healthcare and its contribution to improving quality of life. The discussions emphasised the importance of combining clinical knowledge, preventive care, technology and human empathy to support patients through every stage of recovery. With students at the heart of the celebration, the programme also reinforced the importance of continuous learning, responsible practice and patient-centred care. The event concluded by inspiring the future generation of physiotherapists to contribute to a healthier society through movement, rehabilitation, compassion and service."}
