Ahmednagar Homoeopathic Medical College

From Vice-Chancellor's Desk

On behalf of the University community, I welcome the viewers to the website of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik. This website gives you an overview of the University’s campuses, colleges, courses and articulates many of the reasons why MUHS is justly renowned nationally and internationally.

Having started in 1998 as a single University entrusted with the responsibility of health sciences education in Maharashtra state, MUHS, today is an important affiliating institution of higher education, currently having 320 colleges under its jurisdiction. Together with these colleges it conducts graduate and postgraduate courses.

Our vision is to develop the University into a world class institution, renowned for its teaching capability, research tenacity and professional acumen. Our mission is to disseminate high quality education in all health sciences streams among the youth and inculcate values and ethics to be practiced in the pursuit of their professions. We are determined to contribute to society through our commitment to patronage of quality in health sciences education and research, ensuring excellence in Higher Education.

Knowledge is today’s economy. Creation and distribution of knowledge is paramount responsibility of the society. It is my firm belief that a university has a major role to transfer knowledge from one generation to another and in the process of research and knowledge utilization. University is the link between past, present and future. It is therefore time for the university to move beyond the function of affiliation, certifying and content exchange towards becoming a knowledge hub.

MUHS, Nashik has been one of the pioneer institutions ever since its establishment and its excellent progress is apparent from its performance. We are focusing on utilizing Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to serve as a link between knowledge creation and knowledge transformation. We are strongly committed and actively working towards providing the best learning environment to the student community. All this has put us on the global map. The MUHS has initiated a number of MoUs with national and international Universities.

The teachers need to act as exemplary role models simultaneously assuming the role of a teacher, preacher and a guardian for the academic and personal development of the students. In the wider interest of the nation, we need not over emphasize the importance of quality of our teachers. In this perspective, undoubtedly, one of the most useful and effective programmes in the realm of higher education is the establishment of Teachers’ Training Institute for updating and improving professional skills and competence of college/university teachers. This also envisages imparting training at a level compatible with the current international standards, thereby bringing India to the forefront of education available anywhere in the world even in the developed nations.

Through conscious and careful planning, MUHS aspires to reach the zenith of success by pursuing the path of value based quality education. I, therefore, call upon the members of the MUHS family, i.e. the students, their parents, faculty and staff- members in particular, and the public at large in general, to come forward and contribute their best for overall development of the University and work together towards creating world class professionals for a healthy society.
