The best organization in Bankura district for the people of Bankura was BSMC & H. The root for the establishment of this organization was the establishment of the underlying Bankura Sammilani Medical School & Hospital in the year 1922. Bankura Sammilani was established in the year 1911(1318 in the Bengali calendar.) The first secretary of this organization was justice Digambar chattopadhyay.

Medical school & Hostel was started after hiring a house. In the first phase Physics and chemistry classes were organized in Bankura Christian College. In the meantime the organization received the farm house named ‘Nilambar Manjil’ and associated waste land as donation from Rai Bahadur Rishibar Mukhopadhyay. In the year 1924, when the age of the school was 3 years, the necessity of hospital & clinics aroused. This problem was solved by the financial support of a businessman of Kolkata named Trikarma Das Kuber, with his support a 14 bedded hospital with 4 doctors was established. After few days with the help of Mangala Dasi & her women’s organization, Gynecology ward was built up, later on with the help of Rai Bahadur Hari Prasad Bandopadhyay Surgery Operation theater was built & extended. Afterwards temporary recognition was obtained from Medical Registration in the year 1927, so that the students can pass the L.M.F. Exam.

Later on in 1930, the Govt. gave this school permanent recognition after fulfilling certain bonds but in the meanwhile the Bengal Govt. snatched all the land in Kenduadihi by giving lease @ 1Re/year for Cathedral Settlement and so the hostel was moved to Haritaki Bagan.

The renowned ‘Kole’ family of Kotulpur was one of the well to do business family of Kolkata. The 40 beded Kole Building, formed by the financial support of Bhola Nath Kole & Surendra Nath Kole was inaugurated by the reigning Governor of Bengal, John Anderson. After this the ISOLATION BLOCK & waiting room for the patient party was formed. The Anatomy dissection Room was then built up with the recommendation of Bengal Council of Medical Registration.
