In the year 1921, on the 1st Baisakh the then National Medical College was set into motion. With only Rs.1,500/- donation from the "Tilak Swaraj Fund" this institution started at the Forbes Mansion in Wellington Square. After some time this medical college was shifted to Maniktala Main Road and at that moment all those students who were in the first batch and were also followers of the non cooperative movement, completed their 5 year course from the Maniktala Main Road building. But, requirement for a separate campus for better study and better infrastructure was becoming more and more conspicuous. At this stage with the initiative of great academician and patriot Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, the first mayor of Calcutta, this college was granted with four acre land. After his demise, commemorating great contribution of Deshbandhu, foundation stone of a hundred bed hospital was laid and was named as the “Chittaranjan Hospital”.



Later on, management committee of both Calcutta Medical School and National Medical College agreed to a particular point that for the development of overall scenario of medical study and research in Calcutta, they have to amalgamate into one college. This amalgamated body, is currently known as the Calcutta National Medical College. Finally, in the year 1967, this institution was nationalized through a special bill and attained status of one of the four nationalized medical colleges in Calcutta.
