 It
was like a dream come true for citizens of Eastern part of Uttar
Pradesh state, that is Purvanchal, when the first seed of
inception of this medical college was sown in November of 1969.
Its foundation stone was laid by the then Chief Minister of
Uttar Pradesh Late Shri Chandra Bhanu Gupta. It was named after
a devoted freedom fighter Baba Raghav Das who was a prominent
Sarvoday Leader of this area and close associate of Mahatma
Gandhi and Acharya Vinoba Bhave. Initially the teaching started
in government polytechnic and later shifted to college and
hospital buildings under the dynamic leadership of Prof P.L.
Shukla as first principal of this college. First batch of MBBS
students was admitted on 7th August 1972. Since then this
college has grown and now runs post graduate courses in various
specialties.
BRD medical college includes Administrative Block, Central
Library, Examination Hall, Auditorium, Lecture Theatres and
various departments of non clinical and para clinical subjects
of medical education, etc. It forms the base for medical career
of future doctors and provides research backup in basic medical
sciences. |
