Careers 360
|July 2023
The alumni of Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, have stepped in to help the 150 years-old institution develop further.
In February, the alumni of Nil Ratan Sircar (NRS) Medical College pooled resources to buy it a high-end smart board worth Rs. 2.75 lakh. Ever since, all theory classes for all years are taught on it.
Soon, they will be gifting five more. This, hope both college authorities and the alumni, is the start of a lasting engagement between the medical college and its over 1,500 alumni, spread all over the globe.
Established in 1873 as Sealdah Medical School, NRS Medical College is one of the oldest medical colleges in the country. To celebrate the 150th year of its establishment, the NRSMC has formed a 150-years celebration committee comprising alumni and the college principal and chairman. The members as well as other alumni they've been able to rally are planning to start scholarships, help NRS graduates study in the United Kingdom, and donate a robot and cancer-care paediatric beds.
"There is increase in involvement [of alumni] in the 150th year wave. Different kinds of contributions are happening. When the alumni get involved, the present students also get motivated and they feel they are part of NRS family. The bond becomes stronger," said Pit Baran Chakraborty, principal, NRS.

Education's Heroes
In India, education is shaped not only by policies and institutions but also by the people who refuse to accept inequality as the norm. They come from courtrooms, laboratories, medical colleges, village squares, and city streets, bound by a belief that learning must be a right for all, not a privilege for a few. Some take on entrenched systems through litigation and advocacy; others create small but lasting change through libraries, community classrooms, and grassroots campaigns.
