Jassar Dental Medical Education Health Foundation was started by Mr. Ajit Singh Jassar in 1997. He has been credited with re-inventing Modinagar as an education city. Commenting on the family legacy, Dr. Smiti Klaire, CEO, JDMEHF shared, “We are the third generation of the Jassar family in the city of Modinagar. Our grandfather had a humble beginning here in the 1940s with a small transportation business. My father built these institutions from nothing, starting with a small tract of land measuring about 1000 square yards and just 50 students to now a campus of 75 acres, 20+ courses and around 2000 students. We are committed to his vision of building this campus as a premier educational medicity.”
