Welcome to Teerthanker Mahaveer College of Paramedical Sciences

Paramedical Science is an inseparable part of the health care system and runs parallel to medical science in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Diagnostic tools like the clinical laboratory, the x-ray, the ultra sound, CT and other invasive or non-invasive methods and therapeutic technical modes like physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy are parts of the paramedical system.

With the development of medical science and its attendant support in complex mechanization of medical equipments, there has been an equal growth in paramedical science and hence an ever increasing demand of trained paramedical manpower in Indian subcontinent. Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), on emerging skills shortage in the Indian Industry, pointed out that in case of paramedics acute shortage is likely to emerge in case of radio-graphics, ECG technicians, OT technicians, audiomotorists etc. The similar shortage is being presented by the Prime Minister’s Council on trade and industry. The council reported that X-ray technicians required by 2015 would be 12,410 where as availability is of 4872 technicians. Similarly, the number of lab technicians required by 2015 would be 62,050.
