MODINAGAR, GHAZIABAD, January 16, 2024 - DJ College of Medical Sciences and Research, operated by Jassar Dental Medical Education Health Foundation, received clearance from the Uttar Pradesh State Government to establish its MBBS program. The state government has issued a no-objection certificate for the establishment of DJ College of Medical Sciences and Research college in the city of Modinagar. The institution has also obtained a consent of affiliation from the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, Lucknow.
The new medical college will be part of DJ Group of Institutions, a renowned name in medical education since 1997. The group currently operates multiple healthcare institutions, including dental, ayurvedic, nursing, pharmacy, and paramedical facilities. These are located within their sprawling 75-acre residential campus in Modinagar, Ghaziabad.
Rhitik Jassar, COO & Secretary of DJ Group of Institutions, expressed his enthusiasm about this development: "This marks a big milestone in our journey. DJ Group has been the first to bring many innovations to Modinagar - we set up the city's first dental college, first ayurvedic college, first nursing and paramedical college, and one of the first engineering and pharmacy colleges. This will be the region's first medical college and only the second one in the entire district of Ghaziabad." He continued, "The intention behind setting up this college is to serve the community where we have been born and brought up and to ensure that no one in our area or in surrounding villages ever has to go beyond its borders to get quality and affordable healthcare. This will generate direct employment for more than 5,000 people and indirect employment for more than 10,000 people. Our goal is to bring and nurture the country's best healthcare talent to our growing city," he added.
Dr. Smiti Klaire, CEO of DJ Group, shared her vision for the institution: "This was the dream of Mr. Ajit Singh Jassar, my father and the Founder-Chairman of the group. We remain committed to building it with world class amenities and leading medical technology. We will staff it with the region's finest healthcare professionals and house their services in an iconic built-up infrastructure that will inspire generations to come."
Mrs. Sarabjit Kaur Jassar, Chairperson of DJ Group of Institutions, provided details about the project's scale: "Our medical college hospital will begin with a 1000-bed capacity in Phase-1, with plans to expand to 1500 beds over the next three years. This will make it one of the largest healthcare facilities in Uttar Pradesh. The development addresses a critical need in Modinagar, which currently lacks a multi-specialty hospital and advanced diagnostic facilities. Our city presently relies on small 20-30 bedded nursing homes and has no CT scan or MRI facilities, forcing most patients to seek treatment in neighbouring Meerut and Ghaziabad. This medical college will transform Modinagar into a hub for affordable, accessible, and quality healthcare while reinforcing its position as a hub for higher education."
The ambitious project's design and execution have been entrusted to Creative Designer Architect (CDA), India's leading healthcare architecture firm. CDA brings extensive experience in healthcare infrastructure, having designed 13 Max Hospitals, 6 Fortis facilities, 2 AIIMS, and over 250 healthcare-focused projects across India. Their expertise ensures that the medical college and hospital complex will be built to international standards and specifications.
