Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (MGIMS)
 Organization
Sevagram is in the state of Maharashtra and is located
right at the Center of Indian Map. It is 80 kilometers
from Nagpur, which is the nearest airport. The district
headquarter, Wardha is ten kilometers from Sevagram.
The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (MGIMS)
and the Kasturba Hospital, is run by the Kasturba Health
Society. The Society was established in 1964 under the
Societies Registration Act. Before the Society was
formed, the Kasturba Hospital (started in 1945) was run
by the Gandhi National Memorial Trust (also called Gandhi
Smarak Nidhi). At the Society's formation, the Gandhi
National Memorial Trust handed over to it all the properties
of the Kasturba Hospital together with the responsibility
of running the Kasturba Hospital.
The MGIMS was earlier affiliated to the Nagpur University
since its inception in 1969 till 1997. From 1998 the MGIMS
has been affiliated to the Maharashtra University of Health
Sciences, Nasik. The MGIMS admits 65 medical students
on the basis of a pre-medical entrance test (in 2006,
close to 10,000 medical aspirants took the test). The
institute also offers post-graduation in all major clinical
and basic sciences disciplines.
The Kasturba Hospital is a 648-bed hospital, located in
Sevagram, about 8 kms from Wardha town. The hospital offers
tertiary care healthcare facilities to rural patients.
The Kasturba Health Society administers the institute
through three agencies:
 The
Governing Council
The
Local Managing Committee
The
Standing Finance Committee

Ashram to introduce them to Gandhian ideology. As the

Heritage
and History of MGIMS
The name of the institute itself speaks of its historical
roots. These roots go back to the time of Indian Independence
Movement, and to a place originally called Shegaon, now
known as Sevagram.
It was 1936, when Mahatma Gandhi left Sabarmati ashram
and set up his ashram in Sevagram, a small village in
Wardha town in Maharashtra. Gandhi directed the independence
movement of the country from here. This has immortalized
Sevagram in the history of the Nation.
In line with Lal Bahadur Shastri's foresight, in 1969,
and as a part of Gandhi Centenary Program, Mahatma Gandhi
Institute of Medical Sciences was proposed to be set up
on the soil of Sevagram. After the approval of the Planning
Commision and with the blessings of the President and
the Prime Minister of the country the institute was formed.
It was decided that the Government of India, Maharashtra
Government and the Kasturba Health society would share
the expenditure on it in the proportion of 50:25:25.
When the first batch of 60 students was enrolled in the
year 1969, MGIMS came up as independent India's first
attempt give a new direction to rural health. Today it
boasts of having groomed more than 2000 doctors. After
more than three decades of its birth, MGIMS has come a
long way. From a mere 15 bedded hospital to its 648
beds and a hospital with state of the art facilities,
MGIMS has created its own small history. In 2005-2006,
about 3.67 million patients attended the out patient department
of the institute. More than thirty thousand patients were
admitted during this period.
MGIMS has grown into an institute nursing the rural community
with nominal fees. It has also been working towards its
community oriented mission by working strongly with its
alcohol and drug de-addiction centre, which is now in
its eighth year. It has also implemented the concept of
health insurance in rural areas. In 2005-06 as many as
39258 families around Sevagram have availed this facility.
