The ever-increasing awareness for dental care both in rural and urban India has led to a proportional increase in demand for well-equipped dental facilities and skilled dental professionals.

In 2004, a group of like-minded dynamic individuals, specialists in their own fields, came together with a common vision to contribute their best to help bridge this gap between demand and supply. Barfani Academia was formed and the foundation for starting a Dental College in Bilaspur was laid.

A state-of-art dental health care and education facility was installed on the outskirts of Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh state known as New Horizon Dental College and Research Institute (NHDCRI).
