Inception and Growth

The first batch of the medical college started in 1999 with 100 students. KIMS was promoted by Sri Kamineni Suryanarayana-an Engineer Architect, Builder and Industrialist as a part of Kamineni Education Society. Since 1999, college has gained popularity because of the successful board results and the increasing patient population due to free surgeries conducted by the hospital. The number of students in a batch increased from 100 to 150 and medical PG courses like General Medicine, General Surgery, Radiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Psychiatry, ENT, Ophthalmology,etc. have been added subsequently. The medical college also participates in the sports meet conducted by the NTR University of Health Sciences every two years. In the year 2009, a project called 'Swasthya09' was initiated by the Kamineni students and staff to provide medical care and health awareness to the rural people.
