Dr Avinash Supe, dean of KEM hospital, and director of medical education, has bagged the prestigious Dr B C Roy national award, given by the Medical Council of India (MCI), for his outstanding performance as a medical teacher.

"It is a proud moment for me and the medical fraternity in the state. It has come as a surprise to me, but I am happy that my teaching has been recognised," said Dr Supe.
