V.M Medical College

V.M Medical College is situated right near the Civil Hospital in Solapur. Being so close to the hospital is quite handy for us because that’s where a lot of the real learning happens for the students. We have been in this part of Maharashtra for a long time. The building is quite large and it always smells a bit like antiseptic and old paper. We have labs and lecture halls where the students spend most of their hours. It is a demanding place to be, both for the staff and the people studying here. Medicine isn't something you can take lightly, so we keep the focus on the books and the practical work. There are always people moving around the corridors, looking a bit tired but determined. We have a small canteen where everyone goes to get a quick bite, and the tea there is actually pretty good. The furniture is functional and nothing more. We don't spend money on fancy things because we’d rather have the equipment we need for the classes. Living and working in the 413003 area means we are right in the thick of things in Solapur. We just keep our heads down and do the work of training the next group of medical professionals. It’s a busy life, but it is what we do here every single day.
