Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education
and Research (JIPMER), Pondichery, India
JIPMER traces its origin to 1823 when a medical school
called "Ecole de Medicine de Pondicherry" was
established by French government. In November 1956 the
Government of India took over the medical college in the
wake of the ‘de facto’ transfer of Pondicherry.
The college was upgraded as a Regional Centre and named
as Jawaharlal Institute of Post-graduate Medical Education
and Research (JIPMER) on 13th July 1964.
JIPMER which includes a tertiary care referral hospital
is under the direct administrative control of Directorate
General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare, Government of India.
Three main functions of this institute are,
 to
impart quality education in Under-graduate and Post-graduate
medical and paramedical courses
to
set trends in medical research and
to
offer patient care of high order.
JIPMER campus is located in the western entrance of Pondicherry
on the highway and spread over 195 acres of sloping land
that is a hillock, known in vernacular as ‘Gorimedu’.
The campus is self sufficient in many ways and contains
well laid roads, green trees & plants apart from Post-Office,
Bank, Shopping centre, Hostels, and Residential complex.
The staff strength of the institute is about 3000. The
teaching faculty consists of 154 experienced teachers
and 361 resident doctors. The total budget provision
for the year 1998-99 was Rs.4167 lakhs, both under plan
and non-plan. The budgetary allocation for 1999-2000
is Rs.4660 lakhs.
The institute is affiliated to Pondicherry University
and conducts a number of medical and paramedical courses.
Admission to the courses is made on all India basis
and strictly on the basis of merit through entrance
examinations.
The institute is also active in research in various
fields of modern medicine & health and medical education.
A research council at institute level looks after the
research activities and there is a scientific society
which provides forum for presentation of the research
work. A number of conferences, workshops, seminars and
training courses are conducted by the institute every
year. Funds for research come from mural and extramural
sources like ICMR, UGC, DBT, WHO, etc. A number of research
papers are published by residents and faculty staff
every year in journals of national and international
repute. Also quite frequently a number of awards and
fellowships are won by the faculty. Some important national
Journals like Indian Journal of Pharmacology are published
from JIPMER. Many text books have been authored by the
faculty members.
