The best organization in Bankura district which is working for the people of Bankura and surroundings is BSMC&H for about 100 years. 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 Trust was established in the year 1911 (1318 in the Bengali calendar) as a part of Swaraj movement. The first secretary of this organization was Justice Digambar Chattopadhyay.
Medical school and Hostel was started after hiring a house. In the first phase Physics and Chemistry classes were organized at 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 Trikarma Das Kuber, who was a businessman of Kolkata and 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 LMF Exam.
Later on in 1930, the Government granted the school permanent recognition after fulfilling certain bonds but in the meanwhile the Bengal Government acquired all the land in Kenduadihi campus and then part of it was moved to Haritaki Bagan campus.
