Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences Bellur

One of the significant roadblocks for AIMS during the lockdown was to provide the practical and clinical training of the students. However, the faculty members of the institute responded with utmost dedication and innovation in creating various e-learning resources to facilitate learning. They extensively conducted live demonstrations of practical classes, clinical examination and case discussions, virtual slide discussions, dissection videos, image discussions using google meet platform. Besides, AIMS took an extra step for students with network issue by making a provision for sharing these as recorded sessions via google drive and youtube. The institute also used online student responses system and google classroom effectively to conduct assessments online.

A Rural Establishment with Global Standards

Located in Mandya District of Karnataka, AIMS is one of the few institutes in the country providing health care and medical education of the highest standards to the rural population. AIMS is now a 34-years-old and was started in the year 1986 under the stewardship of Paramapoojya Jagadguru Padmabhushana Sri Sri Sri Dr Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamiji. “Since the institution is run by a spiritual organization, thrust is also given at teaching human values and spiritual well-being of students and faculty. Our Hospital stands on the principles of delivering the best professional services to the needy and poor patients from nearby villages,” shares Dr Shivaramu. The institute intents to bestow the poor and needy patients with health care at a very affordable cost. Dr Shivaramu adds, “We are glad to report that we have successfully given quality health care to more than 10 lakh men and women hailing from the surrounding villages and catering to the medical needs of the southern part of Karnataka.”
