The army units in Mominabad (Ambejogai) have been disbanded.

1948

Dr. Venkatrao Dawle, despite his humble beginnings, pursued a career in the medical profession and completed his MBBS with distinction in 1948. He served as a medical officer in Taluka Ausa, Dist. Osmanabad, and went on to become a renowned doctor known for his dedicated service to the community. His commitment to community service led him to establish a civil dispensary with public contributions, which is still functioning. After obtaining his FRCS degree from Edinburgh and gaining experience in the UK, Dr. Venkatrao Dawle returned to India and chose to work in Ambejogai, despite its lack of infrastructure such as electricity, telephones, and direct transportation to district headquarters.

in 1962

Dr. Venkatrao Dawle established a successful general hospital in Ambejogai in 1962, including a surgical center where he performed all types of surgeries, including heart surgery - a rarity outside of Bombay during that time.

In 1972

Dr. Venkatrao Dawle's philosophy of providing medical relief to all at their doorsteps is still relevant today, and his efforts in establishing a medical college in Ambejogai continue to inspire doctors to work in rural areas and serve their communities. He was successful in establishing the first medical college in 1975 with the cooperation of society and the government. Till now, about 2000 MBBS and 2000 postgraduate qualified doctors have graduated from this institution and are serving society.

In 1975

In an innovative approach, Dr. Venkatrao Dawle adopted a village around the medical college, where each batch of MBBS students was allotted five families from that village. These five families were assigned to each student in the batch. The entire health care needs of these families were managed by the students under the supervision of the highly qualified teaching staff of the medical college and hospital.
