The health care scenario was a matter of great concern to PSG & Sons’ Charities. Having started a Maternal and Child Care Centre at Vedapatti in 1961, the Charities wanted to do more.

In the year 1985, the Trust as its 60th anniversary Diamond Jubilee venture, entered the scene of medical education. The Government was finding it difficult to fulfil the aspiration of many aqualified and eligible student to enter medicine, in addition to catering quality health care to large sections of people. The Trust, with its decades of track-record and good-will in education and public service, decided to contribute its share in Medical Education. Thus, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences & Research was born on September 30, 1985. The admission policies and fee structure of the institution correspond to the Government and Judicial requirements of the country. Currently, the annual intake is 100 students for MBBS course.

The institution has been granted recognition by Medical Council of India, General Medical Council of UK and Srilankan Medical Council. The WHO Directory of World Medical Schools lists the institution. Students from this college secure high ranks in the University examination and various competitive examinations held at National and International level like PLAB examination of UK and USMLE.

The institution is highly conscious of its social responsibilities. In fact, the Trust mandates social vision as an essential component of any venture by PSG & Sons’ Charities. The National Service Scheme finds an active extension and support in our college and it is a forum for our students and staff to interact with community at grass root level and serve their needs. Frequent medical camps are organized at outlying rural and tribal areas and treatment offered is free. Those requiring admission are brought to the hospital and taken care of. The institution maintains several rural and urban health centres, manned by qualified medical and paramedical personnel. Tribal welfare is top on the agenda and our dedicated medical and paramedical teams frequently visit the tribals inhabiting the remote regions of Nilgiris and Anamalai.
