Honouring Our Heritage

Founded in July 1976, IPH&H emerged from the vision of a pioneering leader ,(Lt.) Dr. S.S. Joshi, who sought to create an inclusive educational institution that embraced individuals from all corners of the globe. This co-educational institute has since become a beacon of hope and opportunity, catering to students from a wide array of backgrounds and cultures.
