ABOUT Dr.B.R. Ambedkar Medical College
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.
