The Vibe: Established in 1995 as the first medical college in Uttarakhand, the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) often called Jolly Grant Medical College offers a serene, "resort-style" academic environment. Located in the Doiwala region, the campus is nestled in a lush green valley at the foothills of the Himalayas. The atmosphere is quiet, pollution-free, and significantly more relaxed than Dehradun’s main city center. It serves as a major medical hub for the entire Garhwal region, blending spiritual heritage (founded by Swami Rama) with high-tech tertiary healthcare.
Connectivity:
Air: Jolly Grant Airport (DED) is literally adjacent to the campus, located just 1 km away. This makes it perhaps the most accessible medical college in India for students traveling from Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore.
