Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education & Research (DMIHER–DU) Off Campus continues to flourish in Wanadongri with its diverse academic institutions and teaching hospitals. Among its leading units, the Shalinitai Meghe Homeopathy Hospital College & Research Centre (SMHHCRC) is evolving with a distinct academic and clinical identity.

To craft a focused roadmap for SMHHCRC, DMIHER (DU) recently constituted an Advisory Board of nationally renowned homeopaths. The inaugural meeting of this Board marked a decisive step toward academic excellence and institutional advancement.

The meeting was chaired by Padma Shri Dr. Vilas Dangre, celebrated homeopath from Nagpur, and attended virtually by Dr. B.R. Dubb, Registrar, J&K Board of Homeopathic System of Medicine and Nodal Officer, Government Homeopathic Medical College & Hospital, Kathua (J&K), and Dr. D.S. Singh, Professor, State Lal Bahadur Shastri Homeopathic Medical College, Prayagraj.

Key DMIHER (DU) officials present included Dr. Anup Marar, Director (Off Campus), Dr. Manish Deshmukh, Deputy Director (R&D), and Dr. Prashant Bharbat, Principal, SMHHCRC.
