Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research Puducherry

Originated as Ecole de Medicine de Pondicherry, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research was established in 1823 by the French Government.  It was later converted into Dhanvantari Medical College at the time of de facto transfer of Pondicherry to Government of India and then to Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER).

In July 2008, JIPMER was given the status of an Institution of National Importance and this translated into an all-round development of the institution with an increase in number of staff, students and services.

There has been several developments ever since and the current expansion has seen the development of the JIPMER Women and Children’s Hospital, the JIPMER Academic Centre, the new hostel complex for undergraduates and postgraduates students, a common wellness centre including a gymnasium, dining hall and other amenities.
