After the formation of the state of Uttaranchal, it was realized that the new state with a population of nearly 1 crore, did not have adequate facilities for both the dental and the medical education. In an endeavour to overcome the vacuum of dental education, Dr. B.S.Gupta Medical Charitable Society* decided to take up the challenge and laid the foundation stone of Seema Dental College & Hospital in "Devbhumi" Rishikesh. The aims and objectives of the college are:
To impart value based high quality Dental education to the students of Uttaranchal and other states.
Increasing awareness amongst the masses about dental hygiene. Schools and rural population of the state will be covered in phases.
Providing cheap and easy access for dental care to the masses.
Interaction with other colleges and institutes for update in technology, management and research work.
Management of every kind of emergencies, which includes, dental medical and surgical.
Referral centre for ailments other than dental disease. Patients will be given proper advice about the management of other ailments even if they are not related to dental problems.
