The Medical college has been recognized by the Malaysian Medical Council and the first batch of Government sponsored students has arrived.

This year has seen the addition of new international faculty, world-class equipment and infrastructure, application of new innovative teaching methods, increased community interface & promotion of research. Motivating students for research, getting faculty support, providing funds and recognizing those with a natural passion has been our priority. Our challenge lies in seeing that the enthusiasm as is seen now should not abate.

Mr. Jaywantrao Bhosale was born in the small village of Rethare BK in Satara district on 22nd Dec. 1924. He studied at Kolhapur and Pune acquiring the degrees of BA & LLB. He was elected as the Chairman of one of the first co-operative sugar factories in India in 1959.

In the next 30 years as Chairman of one of the largest and richest co-operative sugar factory in India he gave new direction and leadership to the industry which underwent transformation from merely an industry to an instrument of social change. It was during his tenure that besides sugar, alcohol, acetone, paper started being manufactured from sugarcane.

He served as President of the Deccan Sugar Technologists Association, Chairman of the Maharashtra Federation of Co-operative Sugar Factories (1967-69), member of the Finance Committee of Government of India and member of the State Legislative Council.

His foray into education started with the establishment of Shetkari Shikshan Prasarak Mandal (Society for Promotion of Education in Farmers) in 1964. The Society runs many schools and colleges in the rural area and these institutions were among the first to encourage and promote education for girls in villages. In 1974 he established the Krishna Charitable Trust.

In 1982 the Krishna Hospital was started with 200 beds and in 1984 he succeeded in persuading the Government of Maharashtra and the then Chief Minister Shri. Vasantrao Dada Patil to allow private participation in medical schools and engineering colleges. The Late Chief Minister was a member of the Board of Trustees and a guiding force. The Medical College has now grown into a large organization with 840 bedded modern hospital and facilities for critical care, joint replacements, lithotripsy, endoscopic surgeries, dialysis etc.

In the year 2005 the KIMS was declared as University by the MHRD of Govt. of India and new constituent colleges have been added viz. School of Dental Sciences, Krishna School of Physiotherapy, Krishna Institute of Nursing Sciences, Krishna Institute of Biotechnology & Bioinformatics and Krishna Institute of Pharmacy.Mr. Jaywantrao Bhosale embarked upon a journey to educate, to give opportunity, to improve the quality of life in the rural areas and this journey continues with his guidance and inspiration.

He has been associated with the Krishna Institute thereafter being the Medical Administrator of Krishna Hospital & Medical Research Center before becoming the Vice-Chancellor of the University in 2005.

As the first Vice-Chancellor of the University he has provided the direction and dynamism, a new university would require for growth and development. The progress of the university is reflected not just by the increase in constituent colleges but by the nature of the new and innovative courses that are being introduced, the creation of curriculum and syllabi keeping in mind the emerging trends in science and research.

He believes that education lays the foundation for a civil society that gives equal opportunity to all its citizens to work, progress and lead a good life. However Education does not necessarily impart knowledge that one has to seek and find as its domain lies in re-search. Therefore it is the University that has to encourage, promote and accelerate research wherein the space is unoccupied, unchartered & infinite.

Besides his administrative duties he continues to teach and work in oncology advocating change and adaptation to new technologies but foremost teaching his students to question & challenge established concepts and to look for new answers, lest we forget that we stand on cosmic shores with the whole universe still a mystery.

The KIMS University now is a vibrant and progressive organization capable of meeting the aspiration of its founders and the challenges of global competition.
