A campus Students Initiative in Palliative Unit  is working in the college to provide specialized medical and nursing care for people with life-limiting illnesses.

Students Initiative in Palliative Care (SIP) is a student initiation for manifestation of community participation in palliative care. Participation of student community in palliative care is possible as Social participation towards a common public good is always an integral character of student communities around the globe. Engaging of students in palliative care has a dual advantage. One is that their energy can be utilised for the benefits of patients with chronic disease. Another is that, Inculcating the spirit of care can have a positive effect on the attitude of students. With this idea, the Pain and Palliative society started its students in care programme.
