MATIYA ANTHEM

Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, more commonly referred to as Calcutta Medical College is a medical school and hospital in the city of Kolkata in the state of West Bengal, India. It was established in 1835 as Medical College, Bengal. It was the first medical school to teach European medicine in Asia and India. On 9 May 1822, the government laid down a plan for the instruction of up to twenty young Indians to fill the position of native doctors in the civil and military establishments of the Presidency of Bengal. The outcome was the establishment of "The Native Medical Institution"(NMI) in Calcutta (21 June 1822), which later became Medical College, Bengal.
