Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Warm greetings from Raichur, the heritage city where tradition meets progress!
It is with immense pride and joy that the Raichur City Branch of the Association of Surgeons of India welcomes you to the 44th Annual Conference of the Karnataka State Chapter – KSCASICON 2026. This prestigious event will bring together surgeons from across Karnataka and beyond for a vibrant exchange of knowledge, experience, and innovation.
Our vision for KSCASICON 2026 is rooted in a powerful ethos: advancing with technique and science, continuing with concepts and conscience. As surgery evolves with technological innovation and scientific breakthroughs, it is imperative that we uphold the timeless principles that define our profession. This conference aspires to bridge cutting-edge surgical advancements with foundational knowledge and ethical integrity. It is a call to move forward boldly, while staying grounded in the values that guide compassionate, responsible care. Through this harmonious blend of progress and principle, we aim to inspire a generation of surgeons who are as thoughtful as they are skilled.
The scientific programme will feature live operative workshops, interactive case presentations, and expert-led symposia, all meticulously curated to foster surgical skills.
Raichur, nestled between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, is a land where history and nature embrace in harmony. Its ancient fortresses and sacred temples whisper tales of a glorious past, while its fertile plains flourish with life. Known as the city of precious paddy, golden glory, and silver valley, Raichur stands tall as a hub of progressive growth—renowned for its abundant rice fields, the treasured Hutti Gold Mines, and rich cotton cultivation. It is home to the Shaktinagar thermal power plant supplying power to the entire state. With every stone and stream echoing heritage and hope, Raichur advances with technique and science, yet continues with enduring concepts and a deep-rooted conscience.
We eagerly await your presence at KSCASICON 2026 – where learning meets legacy, and science walks hand in hand with conscience.
