History
In1970s there was a phenomenal increase in the number of institutions and students admitted to various courses of medical and allied health sciences in Karnataka. This warranted an immediate need for regulation, monitoring and standardisation of the curricula as well as the evaluation system. In background the government of Karnataka, in 1976 took a bold and innovative decision to establish a single University of Health Sciences for the entire state. Later, even the Central Council of Health made a recommendation for the establishment of Health Universities in all the States. In 1994, the Government of Karnataka passed an Act to establish the University of Health Sciences and the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences was born. Thus a long cherished dream of having all the institutions of health sciences of Karnataka comes under one roof became a reality with the functioning of this University from 1st June 1996.
