Medical College & Hospital Kolkata
Most of the people know this institute as Calcutta Medical College appeared in the year 1835 in the city Kolkata, West Bengal, India. This college was the first college of European medicine in Asia. The motive behind the establishment of Kolkata Medical College was to train local students irrespective of caste and religion according to the medical principle followed in Europe. Just after the establishment of Kolkata Medical College on 28 January 1835, Madras Medical College appears on 2 February 1835.

The British rulers trained a small number of the Indians for diagnosis and treatment of diseases administering alopathic medicine. In due course of time, this medical college has become Kolkata medical college and hospital.
