History

The evolution of this institution dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. It started as a small dispensary in the form of a First Aid Centre in the premises of the present medical college during the days of Maharatha rule in the later half of the eighteenth century. The sole purpose of that dispensary was to render whatever little medical assistance was available and feasible to the sick pilgrims en route to and from Puri, especially during the "Car Festival" of Lord Jagannath.

This dispensary continued to function admirably till the British occupation of Orissa in 1803. The British rulers, in due course of time, realised the strategic importance of this dispensary at Cuttack and converted it into small hospital. For the smooth management of the hospital, they made provisions for pumping adequate money from the "Annachhatra Fund".

In 1875, the Orissa Medical School was born by the effort of a Madras (Chennai) born Scottish doctor William Day Stewart, the then Civil Surgeon of Cuttack as its first principal. He mooted out the idea of starting a medical school, utilising this hospital as an infrastructural nucleus. In this endeavour, he received the kind support and sincere patronage of the then Lt Governor, Richard Temple and the Divisional Commissioner, T.E Ravenshaw. William Day Stewart who took the initiative in setting up the Medical and Stewart school passed away on 23 November 1890 at the age 50 and was buried at the local 'Gora Kabar' cemetery.

Initially the Orissa Medical School was established with a capacity of 20 L.M.P (Licentiate Medical Practitioners) students. It was affiliated to the Bihar and Orissa Medical Examination Board which granted the LMP Diploma.

In 1944, the Orissa Medical School was renamed as Orissa Medical College and Major A.T Anderson, the then Civil Surgeon of Cuttack acted as its first principal. He wanted to improve the Orissa Medical College as per the existing pattern in U.K which was highly appreciated by Lt Col. A. N. Chopra, the then Director of Health and I.G, Prisons. They recommended to the Government to upgrade the existing medical school to the status of college. The Parla Ministry consisting of Maharaja of Paralakhemundi, Maharaja Krushna Chandra Gajapati Dev, Mr Abdus Subhan Khan (Minister of Health and Education) and Pandit Godabrish Misra gave due attention to this issue and finally the Orissa Medical College was established on 1 June 1944 with a capacity of 22 students in the MBBS Degree Course.

The college was affiliated to Utkal University and the first batch appeared in the Final MBBS Examination in 1948. The college received recognition for MBBS degree from Medical Council of India in the year 1952 with retrospective effect.

In 1951, the Orissa Medical College was subsequently renamed as Srirama Chandra Bhanja Medical College in recognition of the donation and efforts made by Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanj Deo of Mayurbhanj State. Moreover, Maharaja Vikram Deo Verma of Jeypore State, the founding father of Andhra University also donated ₹1,30,000 to this medical college.^[2]
