S.D.M. College of Dental Sciences & Hospital
SDM College of Dental Sciences & Hospital was founded in 1986 by the SDME Society, Ujire of which Sriman Dr.D.Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala is the President with a vision to train students to excel in knowledge, skills and service to the community. The mission of the institution was to improve oral health of the local population and to cater to their dental needs. It had a humble beginning with an intake of 40 students in the premises of SDM Engineering College Dharwad.
In 1987, a small dental hospital with 6 dental surgery chairs and units was commissioned in the town center at Dharwad. Two years later in 1989 the hospital was expanded to include all clinical departments and shifted to a larger building near the bus station. In the same year 10 acres land was acquired between Dharwad and Hubli on the National Highway to develop an independent campus with all required infra-structural facilities.
Vision
The vision that saw the founding of the SDM institutions has always been clear - enlistment of society through education. But maintaining this clarity of vision even as it is translated into reality is no easy task given the diversity and spread of these institutions. The Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Education Society has however proved equal to the task. The committee that charts the destiny of SDM institutions under the Presidenstship of Shri Veerendra Heggade, operates from a modest building of Ujire. It is here that the heart of the Society beats. Supplying the life blood that drives individual institutions forward. The members of the committee, each an eminent personality, jointly provide purpose and direction to the parts of the whole. As the apex body, it acts as the catalyst that triggers off the right reaction to provide synergy for furthering the Society's aim. Always keeping in mind that the education its institutions provide is the means to achieve a higher purpose - the transformation of the individual and through him the world.
