+## Welcome
+
+Welcome to the **Medical-Website** repository! This project is dedicated to helping beginners contribute to open source, especially during gssoc24. We welcome all pull requests in Python and Java, prioritize genuine contributions, and encourage good first issues. Our community is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and harassment-free environment for all participants, whether they're new to open source or seasoned contributors. Let's work together to create a positive experience for all contributors during gssoc24.
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in **Medical-Website** a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community. Everyone is encouraged to contribute and collaborate in a safe and supportive environment, while also learning the value of open-source contributions.
+
+## Our Standards
