The skit was inaugurated by the Dr. S.C. Parija, Jipmer Director, in presence of the Dr. J. Balachander, Medical Superintendent and Dr. Ambrose, Deputy Medical Superintendent. The production was essentially in-house with Dr. K.A. Gunasekaran, former dean, Pondicherry University, penning the skit and Dr.G.Paulraj from School of Performing Arts, Pondicherry University, training the students. Sanitary Inspector of JIPMER Pethannan directed the screenplay.
