Message

Dear Students,
Greeting and best wishes to all of you. I extend a very warm welcome to all the students aspiring to join our prestigious
Institute for their undergraduate studies.
Learning is a never-ending process. It requires absolute involvement and complete commitment from both the teacher
and the taught. It is an intellectual cum moral exercise where the giver and the receiver ought to vibrate on identical
wavelengths.
Here at Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Physiotherapy, Pune, we are morally bound to equip the students with appropriate skills
by rendering knowledge in a spontaneous, interesting, and fun-filled way. I feel that the youth are the most vibrant and
socially sensitive resources of a country. I believe that this emerging youth power, if guided properly, can work wonders
with its firebrand ideas. Our strength lies in a team of highly qualified and experienced faculty ably supported by an
equally dedicated staff. This is taking the college to newer heights and putting it on the world map. Whether it is winning
best paper awards in conferences or holding workshop with international faculty, laurels and awards are showered upon
us from all quarters. Even our students are selected to present scientific papers at national and international levels.
Besides these academic activities, we are equally involved in several outreach programmes organizing physiotherapy
camps in rural areas serving the poor and weaker section of the society. This fulfills the dream of our Chancellor, Dr. P. D.
Patil, who, with his dynamic personality, enthusiasm, and encouragement, has added a thrust to research. The college is
well on the way to making its mark as a world class institution of learning, research and quality patient care. At DPU, we
unearth the student's potential by involving them in academic, career building, and creative activities.
We look forward to have you as a part of Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune. May the new academic session bring you
opportunities to flare in studies and achieve greater heights in personal and professional life.

Dr. Tushar J. Palekar, Ph.D.
