Historical Roots & Founding Vision
Shri M.P. Shah Medical College was established in 1954, owing its inception to the dedication of Jam Saheb Shri Digvijaysinhji and generous support from the family of Meghji Pethraj Shah—after whom the college is named. The first batch comprised 60 MBBS students, marking the beginning of a lasting contribution to medical education in the region
Motto & Educational Etho
The college bears the motto "Goal of Total Health." This reflects its holistic dedication to generating healthcare professionals committed to comprehensive patient well-being.
Institutional Growth & Leadership
At its inception, Dr. Ramniklal C. Talsania and subsequently Dr. P.C.Rakshit served as the foundational pillars—steering the college as its first Deans and setting the academic and administrative standards for years to come.
Affiliated Hospital: Irwin → Guru Gobind Singh Hospital
The college’s associated hospital has a storied past:
Irwin Hospital was inaugurated in 1927, with Dr. Ruks Thomas (FRCS) as the first Surgeon General.
Expanded during the reign of Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji in 1933, the hospital gradually merged with several dispensaries to form what became known as G.G. Hospital.
In 2000, in commemoration of the 300th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, it was renamed Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital.
Today, GGS Hospital stands as a major tertiary and referral center for the Saurashtra region:
Originally a 200-bed facility in 1927, it expanded significantly and as of the mid-2000s reportedly reached a bed strength of 1,275, boasting 50 indoor wards and 10 operation theaters.
Modern descriptions highlight it as a multi-speciality government hospital, equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, specialist and super-specialist teams, and robust patient care facilities.

With a sprawling 63-acre campus, the college houses lecture halls, libraries, labs, auditoriums, student hostels, staff quarters, and numerous student amenities—meaningfully creating an environment conducive to academic excellence.
