You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
[[File:T D Medical College.jpg|thumb|right|T D Medical College]]

[[File:Buildiings in ALP MC.png|thumb|A & B complex in Alappuzha Medical College]]
T.D. Medical College is situated in the suburban area of Vandanam, ((cvt|9|km)) south of the [[Alappuzha]] (previously Alleppey) town, facing the [[National Highway 66 (India)|NH 66]], in Alappuzha district of [[Kerala]] State, South India.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.google.co.in/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=government+td+medical+college+alappuzha&fb=1&gl=in&hq=government+td+medical+college+alappuzha/|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps))</ref> The initials T.D. stand for Thirumala Devaswom, which in Sanskrit means belonging to the Lord of Thirumala, since this medical college was started in 1963 under the patronage of the T.D. Temple at Anantha Narayana Puram of [[Alappuzha]]. Initially the management of the college was done by the Kerala Cultural & Educational Society. It was later brought under a trust called "T.D. Medical College Trust", which was headed by the President of the Thirumala Devaswom. The secretary of the trust was Sri. N. V. Prabhu, Thoppil House, Alappuzha. Sri. N. V. Prabhu was the main driving force and founder of the T. D. Medical College, Alappuzha. It is his brain child for he gave his heart and soul for building this private medical college, one of the first kind in the history of Kerala. The day-to-day administration of the college was done by the T.D. Medical College Administrative Council. A total of 145 acres of land was purchased at Vandanam, in the coastal belt for the future development of the college campus, to include the hospitals, hostels, residential quarters.

The construction of the building started with the foundation stone laying ceremony by [[R. Sankar]], [[Chief Minister of Kerala]] on 6 March 1963 and the classes started in August 1963. Due to the objection raised by the [[Kerala University]] in running the medical college in this state collecting capitation fee from the students, the T.D.M.C. management ran into financial problems and the Kerala Government came forward for their help and took over the management of the institution from 17 October 1967 for a period of five years initially, under an agreement executed between the T.D. Medical College Trust and the Government. Since the T.D. Medical College Trust did not come forward to take back the management of the college at the end of the stipulated initial five-year period, as per conditions in the agreement, the college became vested with the [[Government of Kerala]] from 17 October 1972 and Government order No.G.O.M.S.263/73/HD dt. 23 October 1973 was issued accordingly. Thus this became the fourth Government Medical College in the state.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.cee.kerala.gov.in/collegelist/createdfiles/mbbs.php/ |title=College Details |access-date=13 October 2013 |archive-date=23 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723201214/http://cee.kerala.gov.in/collegelist/createdfiles/mbbs.php |url-status=dead ))</ref> ''Since no compensation whatsoever was paid to the T.D.M.C.Management by the Government during take over, the name T.D.Medical College is still retained in the records''.

The number of seats for the [[M.B.B.S]] course in T.D. Medical College, [[Alappuzha]] was 50 to begin with. It was raised to 100 in 1967. But as per the recommendation of the [[Indian Medical Council]], the number was again reduced to 80 in 1973. It was again raised to 100 as per the recommendation of the [[Indian Medical Council]] in 1979. Now the number of seats has raised to 150 from the academic year 2007-2008 onwards. Post Graduate Course in [[Medicine]] and [[Surgery]] (two seats each) were started in the year 1982-1983 and Paramedical Course for [[Medical Laboratory Technician|MLT]] was started in the year 1985–1986 with 15 seats. Diploma Course in [[Pharmacy]] was also started with 35 seats and later it increased to 40 seats.

In 1967 when the Government temporarily took over the management of the medical college there were only two wings of the college building in the ground floor constructed by the private management at a cost of about Rs.8.8 lakhs. The central portion housing the library in the ground floor and the auditorium in the first floor were constructed by the Government at a cost of about Rs.13 lakhs, which was completed in 1971. The construction of the remaining part of the first floor was done after the medical college was taken over by the Government. The regulations of the [[Medical Council of India]]<ref>[http://www.mciindia.org/View_College_Details.aspx?ID=166/]((Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref> demands the existence of [[Collegiate Hospital in Medical College Campus]] itself.  As part of the plan for shifting the Medical College Hospital to the College Campus, the following five departments were shifted to the newly constructed hospital building (now it is Old Block I & II)  at  Neerkunnam near [[Vandanam]], on 25 February 1991: [[Psychiatry]], [[Dermatology]] & Venereology, [[Radiotherapy]], [[Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation]], [[Dentistry]].

In 2005, the Pediatrics department was shifted to the newly constructed A & B block of Medical College Hospital Complex [[Vandanam]]. In January 2007, [[Medicine]] and allied specialties have been shifted to new blocks such as D&E, I1, I2 IP wards at new hospital complex. After this, shifting process has been achieved tremendous pace. Within a span of three years, construction of three major blocks viz.  C&F block, J1, J2, J3 diagnostic blocks and Surgical K blocks have been completed utilizing   [[NABARD]] and State Plan fund. On 12 January 2010, the Chief Minister of the state finally proclaimed that the shifting of the Medical College Hospital from [[Alappuzha]] to [[Vandanam]] was completed. And now, whole hospital departments are occupying a floor area of about ((cvt|28,000|sqm)) and it is situated in area of around ((cvt|60|acre)). Now the college and hospital are situated in a campus having an area of 162 acres and there is sufficient space for all types of future developments and there is a huge scope for developing this college as a Centre of Excellence in various fields of Modern Medicine.
