Message from the Dean, Dr. Ashok D. Shinde

We present with great pride and honour the history and information of Dr. Vaishampayan Memorial Government Medical College and Shri Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj General Sarvopchar Rugnalaya on this website.

Dr. Vaishampayan Memorial Government Medical College was established in 1963 by the great efforts of late Dr. Vishnu Ganesh Vaishampayan. The city of Solapur has been a well known textile centre since the "British Raj" days. The majority of population was and still is from working class. However the city also has a great name and tradition in Medical facilities. Since the last fifty years the neighboring township from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have been coming to Solapur for medical treatment. In olden days along with Government General (Civil) Hospital, N. M. Wadia Hospital (which was also attached to our Medical College for teaching purposes), Dhanraj Girji Hospital and Sakharam Namchand Hospital was also well known for patient care. The starting of Medical College added new dimensions to the facilities of Solapur town and neighboring areas. Many well known teachers with offshore teaching experience joined the institute and the faculty flourished with academic interactions.

Over the years the institute has produced many well known and talented medical graduates who are settled all over the world. Today they are bringing good name and glory to their mother institute. In the last fourty years of its existence the institute has developed in all the frontier areas. Added latest technology and instruments for the patient care and teaching purposes. The variety of cases is also amazing that even the teachers of capital cities are attracted during academic sessions to visit, learn and contribute. We are proud of our staff, students and the institute.

Friends this is in nutshell but please go through the entire presentation on the website.

WELCOME & NAMASKAR
