History
On 13 July 1907, the decision was made to build a hospital in Burdwan (a small town). On 9 November 1910, the Frazer Hospital was inaugurated with 127 indoor beds. In 1921, this hospital was converted into a medical school and named Ronaldshay Medical School. Later, the proposal of renaming the medical college was again put forward, and then the chief minister of West Bengal, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, agreed to the proposal.[4]
Finally, in 1969, this college was renamed as Burdwan University Medical College and was affiliated to Burdwan University. The honorable health minister of that time, the Late Nani Bhattacharya, laid the foundation stone of this new college. This college actually started its journey from a primary school building. The first batch of this college suffered tremendously because of the inadequate infrastructure and shifted to different medical colleges in Kolkata. The second batch of this college, enrolled in 1970, remained at Burdwan and completed their MBBS. However, the second batch took almost eight years to complete their degree. So, the official first batch of students, unofficially the second batch, came out as doctors only in 1978. There were several political unrests in the part of West Bengal during the seventies. Students also take part in the protest as this unrest hampered the growth of this medical college. Subsequently, In 1976, due to enormous agitation on the part of students, the West Bengal government took over the medical college from the University of Burdwan, and the name of this college was changed to Burdwan Medical College.[4]
