Govt Dental College & Hospital Turns 58
Nagpur: Celebrating its 58th foundation day on Friday, the Government Dental College and Hospital (GDCH), Nagpur, still awaits the opening of the Super Specialty Dentistry and Research Centre attached to the institution. Addressing his first press conference on Thursday after taking over as the new dean, Dr Mangesh Fadnaik said the pending final works and procurement processes will delay the inauguration of the super specialty hospital. "The civil works are in the last phase. It will take another three to four months for the super specialty to get operational," Fadnaik said. "We are constantly reviewing the progress of work," he added. GDCH has already received Rs2.88 crore for equipment purchase for the super specialty facility. Two additional proposals — one for Rs2.92 crore under the District Planning and Development Council (DPDC) and another for Rs3.80 crore under state govt scheme — have been submitted and are likely to receive approvals soon. "These funds will ensure that the new centre is equipped with modern technology. We have also written to state govt seeking permission to procure equipment directly through private systems rather than state corporations to expedite the process," Dr Fadnaik added. The upcoming super specialty centre will house advanced departments like implant dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, digital dentistry, sports dentistry, forensic dentistry, and geriatric dentistry, among others. Though GDCH's foundation day technically falls on July 13 — the day it was established in 1968 — the celebrations have been scheduled for July 11 this year. The day will feature a blood donation camp, alumni meet, and general body meetings. The celebrations will see GDC Bhushan awards being conferred on — Dr TR Gunarangarao from Bengaluru, a first-batch pass-out, Dr Surendra Padmawar from Yavatmal, from the second batch, and Dr Rameshwar Dolas from Pune, who belongs to the third batch of the college. Additionally, fifteen academic awards instituted by former students will also be presented during the event.
