The genesis of Karnataka Chapter of Anatomists dates to 1999 as an offshoot of the parental body “Anatomical society of India” by our beloved madam Prof. Dr, S. Kantha. Its prime objective was to strengthen the personal and professional interactions among the anatomists across the state, especially postgraduates, the teaching and the technical faculty, and eminent anatomy faculty not only from the Department of Anatomy but also from the faculty of various other departments like dentistry, pathology, ayurveda, genetics, surgery, radiology, and other clinical specialties. The Conference of the Chapter shall be held annually along with the annual general body meeting. The Conference shall consist of presentation of papers, communications, demonstrations, discussions on anatomical and other allied subjects and any other matter of academic interest as far as Anatomy and the scheduled subjects are concerned.
