The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) is a premier medical and research institution in Chandigarh, India.
It has educational, medical research, and training facilities for its students.
The founders of the institute are Tulsi Das, Santokh Singh Anand, P N Chuttani, B N Aikat, Sant Ram Dhall and Bala Krishna.
PGIMER was conceived and planned in 1960 to provide a physical and intellectual milieu for young scientists working in multiple disciplines of medicine, to advance the frontiers of knowledge to render humane service to sick and suffering, and to train medical and paramedical manpower in Chandigarh.
The institute was established in 1962 under the erstwhile state of Punjab.
It was declared as an Institute of National Importance by an Act of Parliament (Sr. No. 51 of 1966) w.e.f. 1 April 1967.
Initially announced in 2013, the PGIMER now has an operational satellite center at Sangrur in Punjab.
In August 2017, the INR 495 crore budget for setting up a similar second satellite center at Una, Himachal Pradesh was approved.
Motto of service to the Community, Care of the Needy and Research for the Good of All.
