The emblem of Dr.B.R. Ambedkar Medical College, Bangalore established by
Ananda Social and Educational Trust, is a symbolic expression of compassion
and sacred service to be adopted for the practice of modern medicine.
A central wand with entwined snakes symbolizing Greek and Roman Gods of
health called Hermes and Mercury is adopted as a symbol of modern medical
sciences.
The Ananda Social and Educational Trust was set up as the outcome of a dream
of committed Scheduled Caste intellectuals and philanthropists to make a
positive contribution for the betterment of SC and ST and underprivileged
people
by opening up new avenues for them to find better slots in the social
hierarchy by providing quality education. To this end a Medical college
named after Bharatha Rathna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was established by the Trust
in July 1981.
The motto of Dr.B.R. Ambedkar Medical College, is to provide selfless and
quality health services to mankind.
In May 1987, the college moved to its own campus at Kadugondanahalli. The
elegant and imposing college building with its beautiful architectural
design attracts the attention of all visitors.
It is well planned and accommodates the Administrative block, Trust office,
Central Library, Pre-Clinical and Para-Clinical departments, Sports section.
There is a modern OPD Block with clinical departments attached for teaching
and research with an auditorium and cultural dept. The hospital with 780
beds is also situated on the campus.

affiliated with the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. The college
runs the MBBS course as well as post-graduate courses in many subjects that
are recognized by the Medical Council of India (vide MCI Order
