DAYANAND MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL
LUDHIANA
INTRODUCTION
A devoted personality Dr. Banarsi Dass Soni, Ex. Cap. I.M.S.
with a missionary zeal for medical
education and patient care, conceived the idea of starting a Medical School for training doctors
and providing much needed medical care to the people. This noble idea bloomed in the form of Arya
Medical School in the year 1934. It was started in a rented building in the Civil Lines.
Admission was limited to only 20 students in the beginning.
In 1936, the management was handed over to Arya Samaj, Saban Bazar, Ludhiana, under the aegis of
Arya Pratinidhi Sabha, Punjab. A separate managing body nominated by the Managing Committee of
ARya High School, Ludhiana, managed the Medical School. It was shifted to its own biulding (now
Old Dayanand Hospital) in 1937.
The medical school was recognized for LSMF(Diploma of Punjab State Medical Faculty) in 1938 and
also for running a hospital attached to it. In the following year, the Managing Body decided that
the Ludhiana Medical School should, in future, be called 'Arya Medical School' and the hospital
attached to it be called 'Dayanand Hospital'.
It was only in the year 1964 that consistent with the policy of the Government, the Arya Medical
School flowered into a full-fledged MBBS College, which came to be known as Dayanand Medical
College. The management of this college was taken over by a galaxy of prominent people of Ludhiana
a, who formed an organization known as the 'Managing Society of Dayanand Medical College &
Hospital, Ludhiana' and Late Sh. H.R. Dhanda, a prominent industrialist of the town, became its
Founder-President.
The College is recognized for the MBBS
Course by the Medical Council of India and is affiliated to the Baba
Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot. It admits 70 students
