Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), Admission Notification-2016 , Laheriasaria

About Us :

At the start of the twentieth century there were four medical colleges (at Calcutta, Madras, Bombay and Lahore) in then undivided India, and 22 medical schools called the Temple Medical schools. The one in Patna was established in 1874. These schools were named after Sir Richard Temple who joined the Bengal Civil Services in 1846 and went on to become Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and later Governor of Bombay. To commemorate the 1921 visit of prince of Wales (later king Edward VIII, who then abdicated) to Patna, it was decided to upgrade the medical school to a college and so it was renamed Prince of Wales Medical college when it opened formally in 1927.At the same time the government was thinking of building a new medical school in North Bihar. The choice would have been Muzzaffarpur but for the fact that Maharaja Rameshwar Singh of Darbhanga had made the single largest donation of five lakh rupees plus a part of his property, Darbhanga House, in patna for the medical college. During British rule, Darbhanga was the largest and best run zamindari and yet its rulers (considered a royal family by the people of Mithila) were also great supporters of the Independence movement, public works, arts and crafts, education and industry. Many universities such as the ones in Banaras, Calcutta, Allahabad, Aligarh and Patna benefited from generous donations by them. Having convinced the authorities to start the school in Darbhanga, the maharaja contributed another five lakh rupees and unlimited land for this purpose. It is therefore to honour him that Darbhanga Madical school was established in 1925.The Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (dmch) today is spread out over a hundred acres. Wards, hospital buildings, teaching blocks, hostels and residences are scattered across the compus. The old buildings with high ceilings which housed the school and the hospital from the early days still exist and are in use.Medical school in India were formed mainly to train public service officers (Hospital Assistants) who were doctors of a lower standard than Assistant Surgeons who were educated at medical colleges. The schools offered a shorter course of three and a half years called a Licentiate in Medical practice (lmp) The Darbhanga Medical School became a medical college in 1946. However, as the facilities were inadequate at first, after two years medical students were transferred to the Prince of Wales Medical College, Patna to complete their mbbs. Thus, it was only in 1948 that the dmc took in the first batch of medical students who would graduate in 1953.
