Location

The Campus of Veer Surendra Sai Medical College & Hospital is situated in Sambalpur, Odisha, about 330 kilometres North West of the state capital Bhubaneswar. [1]

History

In 1958, to provide a solution to healthcare problems in western Odisha, the then Chief Minister of Odisha, Harekrushna Mahatab, took the decision to set up a medical college at Burla, the second in the state and the 54th in the country. Consequently, the Burla Medical College (BMC) came into existence in July, 1959, with 41 male and 9 female students selected from SCB Medical College in Cuttack to become its first batch of students. [2]

The college started to function in the present Old College Building (OCB), under the guidance of Radhanath Mishra as its first principal. Initially, the Medical Council of India (MCI) refused to recognize BMC, citing gross infrastructural inadequacy. So, a new sprawling campus was designed, complete with the main college building, the hospital building, hostels and staff quarters. Construction began on 12 February 1961. On completion of the work in 1966, the college was moved to the new campus and it finally received MCI approval in 1967. In 1969, it was rechristened Veer Surendra Sai Medical College in honor of Veer Surendra Sai. [2]

The office holders of the students’ union organise various programmes, activities and inter-class competitions throughout the year which culminates with the annual function of the union in December. Postgraduate students are represented by a similar union, known as the Junior Doctors’ Association.

The inter-medical college festival, "Euphoria", is organized every three years. A large number of students gather for a four-day extravaganza and participate in various cultural, dramatic, literary and sports competitions.

"PRAYAS" is a non-profit organization formed by the students which strives to provide proper medical treatment to financially challenged persons by providing free medicines and also to create a large pool of donors to counter the perennial shortage of blood units in the hospital's blood bank.
