About Us
The MMC was first started in Bangalore near the famous Victoria Hospital in small building in the original Electric ‘A’ station near the fort. But the landmarks of have disappeared. Dr. S. SubbaRao, the physiologist, was the first principal succeeded by Dr. H. G. Mylvaganam and Dr. B.K. NarayanaRao. There was already a University school existing since 1917 at Bangalore which was closed in 1956. The college was shifted to Mysore from Bangalore in 1930 at the behest of cherished desire and instance of H.H. KrishnarajaWodeyar |V . (1902-40). There was vehement opposition of the entire medical profession for this venture. But the Maharaja’s wishes and desire prevailed, cherished and fulfilled. Hence the college was regarded as twice born one, first in Bangalore and later christened or incarnated as University Medical College (UMC) in Mysore. It has the unique distinction of being the first medical college started in a native princely state of preindepence era. It was the only medical college till 1952 in Karnataka. Perhaps it was the sixth or seventh medical college in India at that time. In the beginning it was temporarily accommodated in the Chamarajendra Technical Institute building for its office and lecture halls.
