Our country spiritually, culturally and historically has occupied
a prominent position in the global evolution. We are the pioneers
in health sciences, basic sciences, literature, art and architecture.
Our culture is unique having unity in diversity. However, over
the past few decades, a sort of stagnation has crept in our systems
and the sub-continent, which was once a leader regressed into
a developing country. I have given a deep thought to this situation
and by the grace of God Almighty, Sant Gajanan Maharaj - Shegaon
and Shri Satya Sai Baba.
I was shown the light that the only path towards socio-economic
and ethical transformation of our country is through quality education
in all branches of learning from kindergarten to post graduation,
from training to research and from research to extension activities.
Imbued with this mission, we established academic complexes in
Pune, Kolhapur and Navi Mumbai. I am satisfied about the fascinating
development of academic complexes wherein, over the past two decades,
we have established over 100 quality institutions of global standard
in Engineering Medicine, Dentistry and other Health Sciences,
Pharmacy, Hotel Management, colleges in faculties of Arts, Science,
Commerce and Computer Sciences and schools.
A
steady and focused approach to our mission has culminated in the
establishment of D.Y.Patil Education Society, Kolhapur which has
been recently recognized by Government of India and UGC as a "Deemed
to be University". Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital
and Research Centre, B.Sc. Nursing, Physiotherapy College etc. are
the premier constituent units of the University. It has world class
infrastructure and faculty. Medical Council of India has recognized
this college and also permitted it to conduct post-graduate courses
in about 15 subjects. You are one of the many youths of our country
who are aspiring to seek admission our University and to realize
the dream of becoming one of the best medicos, dedicated to alleviation
of sufferings of the humanity.
I
extend a warm welcome to you and wish that, through hard work and
dedication, you will emerge successful in the All India Entrance
Test, so that you become one of the bright students of our University,
May
God bless you in all your endeavors. I wish you a brilliant career.
Yours
sincerely,
Dr. D. Y. Patil
