History

Dr Banarsi Dass Soni, former Captain in the Indian Military Service, conceived the idea in 1934 and started Arya Medical School in a rented building in Civil Lines, Ludhiana. In 1936, the management of the school was handed over to the Arya Samaj, Saban Bazar, Ludhiana, under the aegis of Arya Pratinidhi Sabha, Punjab.

In 1964 the Arya Medical School became a full-fledged MBBS College, which came to be known as Dayanand Medical College & Hospital (DMCH). The management was taken over by Managing Society of Dayanand Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana, and industrialist Shri H. R. Dhanda became its founder president.
