Medical College, Kolkata, also known as Calcutta Medical College, is a Governmentmedical college and hospital located in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is one of the oldest existing hospitals in India. The institute was established on 28 January 1835 by Lord William Bentinck during British Raj as Medical College, Bengal. It is the second oldest medical college to teach Western medicine in Asia after Ecole de Médicine de Pondichéry and the second institute to teach in English language. The college offers MBBS degree after five and a half years of medical training.
Student politics is rooted in tradition, with many students participating in the Indian freedom struggle.[2] Anti-British movements were implemented with the programmes of Bengal Provincial Students' Federation (BPSF),[2] the Bengal branch of All India Students' Federation. Student politics was initially focused on the independence of India.[2] In 1947, Sree Dhiraranjan Sen, a student of the college, died during a Vietnam Day police firing.[3] The Vietnam Students’ Association passed a resolution in its Hanoi session in memory of Sen in March 1947.[4]
Student politics were highly influenced by the partition of Bengal and communal riots during and after the partition of India.[5] Between 1946 and 1952, the college's doctors stood for communal harmony and worked hard in the refugee colonies. During 1952, ex-students of the college, among them Bidhan Chandra Roy who became the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, established the Students' Health Home for the welfare of students.[5][6]
From the 1950s to the 1970s, the college became a centre of leftist and far-left politics.[7] Student politics was highly influenced by the Naxalbari uprising in the early 1970s.[8]
