Addressing the gathering, Mr. Mujumdar said that inspired by the biographic movie about India's first lady doctor, Ms. Anandibai Joshi, the idea of establishing a Medical College exclusively for women was born. With an objective of women empowerment and contributing to the requirement of more women doctors in our nation, Symbiosis has established this exclusive college under its Faculty of Health Sciences, he said.

The SMCW, located at the scenic campus of the Symbiosis International University at Gram Lavale, Taluka Mulshi, Dist. Pune, has launched the unique Dr. Anandi Gopal Scholarship Scheme, which is granted to the top 5 girls who qualify through the NEET merit list and enroll for the MBBS program at Symbiosis Medical College for Women.

The Medical College and its attached Symbiosis University Hospital and Research Centre (SUHRC) are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities, said Deputy Registrar Dr. Avinash Kakade. SUHRC is an 866-bedded hospital presently providing top-quality clinical services free of cost to the community at large, Mr. Kakade added.

Aishwariya Kaushal, a student from Gurgaon, said, "I am expecting my bright future here since it's the third exclusive Medical college for women in the country."
