Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Fellow Pathologists,

Warm greetings from Bangalore—the Silicon City and Garden City of India!

It is with immense pride and joy that the Department of Pathology, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI), welcomes you to the 51st KCIAPM State Conference, KAPCON-2025. This prestigious event holds even greater significance as our institution celebrates 75 years of academic excellence, and our illustrious Victoria Hospital marks its 150th year of dedicated service in healthcare .

BMCRI, situated in the heart of Bangalore’s vibrant City Market area, is surrounded by rich historical and cultural landmarks. The iconic Tipu Sultan’s Fort and Palace, a testament to India’s glorious past, and the Rangaswamy Temple, dating back to the Chola dynasty, stand as pillars of our heritage. Beyond its historical significance, Bangalore is also a bustling metropolis, renowned as the IT capital of India and a hub for innovation, research, and medical advancements.

Our institution takes immense pride in being home to five major hospitals—Victoria, Minto, Vanivilas, PMSSY Super-Speciality, and the Trauma and Emergency Care Centre—along with autonomous institutes like the Institute of Gastroenterology & Organ Transplant and the Institute of Nephro-Urology, collectively serving the entire state with a total bed strength of over 3,200. This varied clinical exposure and expertise make BMCRI a premier center for medical learning and research.

KAPCON-2025 promises to be an intellectually stimulating and enriching experience, featuring pre-conference workshops, interactive scientific sessions, and keynote lectures by renowned national and international faculty. Experts from across the country and abroad will share their knowledge, skills, and groundbreaking research, making this three-day academic extravaganza a true feast for the mind. We promise that the exchange of skills and knowledge will truly be an unforgettable and fruitful experience.

We invite you to be a part of this momentous occasion—not just for academic enrichment, but also to experience the warmth and hospitality of Namma Bengaluru. We encourage you to explore the city’s lush gardens, thriving marketplaces, and diverse culinary scene, making your visit both productive and memorable.

We look forward to extending a hearty welcome for an engaging and insightful experience at KAPCON-2025!
