Mangaluru, Feb 17: Delhi Institute of Medical Representative (DIMR) opened its first branch in Mangaluru here on Wednesday February 17.
Dr Ganapathi Bhat, founder of Mangala Hospital and Mangala Kidney Foundation along with other dignitaries on Wednesday inaugurated the branch, located on the 1st floor of Pam Arcade, Kottara Chowki here.
The Mangaluru branch of the Delhi Institute of Medical Representative is its first in Karnataka.
Harsha Banga, country head of DIMR said, "DIMR's Mangaluru branch is its first branch in Karnataka. DIMR is a 20-year-old institution. In the country, there is a requirement of 21 lac medical representatives, but there are only 1 lac trained representatives. DIMR offers a 100% job guarantee course. Initially, there will be three months of training, with a fourth-month job guaranteed. None of the trainees will remain unemployed.
"DIMR provides education loans through banks, for which trainees should furnish a few documents," he added.
"DIMR is moving toward international markets in Dubai, London, Nepal and Bangladesh. It is also associated with 500 multinational pharmaceutical companies. The minimum salary for medical representatives is Rs 15,000 to Rs 35,000."
Dr Ganapathi Bhat said, "In the future, India will be ahead of the world in pharmaceuticals as proven by the Covid-19 vaccination manufactured in India. Various pharmaceutical industries in India are supplying their products worldwide. Probably in a couple of years, India will overtake China in the pharmaceutical hub. This institute will help greatly, not just in job creation, but will also help the country to become head of the pharma industry world."
Sharing his experience of building an institute, Bhat said, "When I began the nursing home in 1998, the technicians neither received training nor were qualified. I felt the need for qualified technicians. With that in mind, I later started a technician training qualified center and founded Mangala College of Paramedical Sciences which was the seventh college in Karnataka. Today, whichever hospital one visits in Mangaluru, Bengaluru and Mysuru, one will find a technician trained from my college.
"Success will always come, only you need put in hard work and deliver quality education to bring out students rich in thoughts, ideas, knowledge and skill. Sushma will go a long way in making this reality come true and light the lamp in the lives of many young graduates aspiring to get into the pharma industry.
"I am a member of Vidhyabharathi, which provides free education to the poor, irrespective of caste and community. "The only criteria to provide free education is financial inability. At present, free education in my institution is provided to 150-200 students out of 1400 students."
Dr Sathis Rao, Prantha Adyaksha of Arogya Bharati said, "In my experience of 30 years in the medical field I have met several medical representatives. When I met them, I found that the training is very important to them. Within two years, India will overtake China in the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion business."
Sushma Pradeep, head of the DIMR Mangaluru branch, Pradeep, husband of Sushma Pradeep, Balachandra T V were present.
