Description:

A. M. Shaikh Homoeopathic Medical College, Belgaum was founded by late Dr.A.M.Shaikh in the year 1967. This was the period when the homoeopathic system of medicine was little known in this part of the country. Dr. A.M.Shaikh, who was an I.A.S. officer, during his service, had shown deep interest in homoeopathy by starting and encouraging many a homoeopathic dispensary. After his retirement, he decided to start a Homoeopathic Medical College in Belgaum with tremendous zeal and enthusiasm though he had limited resources. Some dedicated and noble patrons, who were aware of his ability, helped, encouraged and greeted him.
The college had a humble beginning with only 14 students in a small rented place called Congress Bhavan. This was ridiculed by many, yet the retired man Dr. Shaikh, fought his way through like a brave warrior and overcame all the initial difficulties and problems. The college went on growing day by day under his able guidance and administration.
The college was recognised by the Government of Karnataka in the year 1977 and by the Central Council of Homoeopathy, New Delhi in the year 1980. The college is now affiliated to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore.
Today the institute is widely regarded as one of the best and the largest homoeopathic medical colleges in India.
