Mysore Medical College and Research Institute is completing 100 years in 2024 and a grand celebration is being planned with the MMCRI management seeking a special grant from the State Government for the centenary projects and initiatives. The past students of the MMCRI have also geared up to make the celebrations memorable with a committee set up to oversee the arrangements.
As a part of the celebrations, the MMCRI has proposed to establish four new departments – Endocrinology, Geriatric Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Pulmonary Medicine. Proposals in this regard have been sent to the government.
MMCRI Dean and Director H.N. Dinesh said a proposal has been sent to the State Government as well as the Centre seeking aid for establishing an exclusive facility for outpatients’ care on the premises of K.R. Hospital. This is again a project proposed as part of the centenary celebrations. A sum of ₹56 crore has been estimated as the cost to complete the Centenary OPD complex.
