The
health fair to aware the public about the different health complications was organized
by King George Medical University on Saturday in Lucknow at Sardar Patel ground
in front Gautambudha park
The
brief history of medical college and later it became King George’s medical
university is as follows.
The
Lucknow University Act, No. V of 1920, received the assent of the
Lieutenant-Governor on November 1, and of the Governor-General on November 25,
1920.
The University
undertook teaching -- both formal and informal. Teaching in the Faculties of
Arts, Science, Commerce, and Law was being done in the Canning College and
teaching in the Faculty of Medicine in the King George's Medical College and
Hospital. The Canning College was handed over to the University on July 1,
1922, although previous to this date the buildings, equipment, staff, etc.,
belonging to the Canning College had been ungrudgingly placed at the disposal
of the University for the purposes of teaching and residence. The King George's
Medical College and the King George's Hospital were transferred by the
Government to the University on the March 1, 1921.
The following three
Colleges provided the nucleus for the establishment of the University:
·
The King George's
Medical College. (Now Known as King George's Medical University)
·
The Canning College.
·
The Isabella Thoburn
College.
This was a rich
inheritance for the new-born University in 1920
Dr SB Cameron with Prof Kali Prasad came in
Lucknow from Allahabad University. Professor Cameron was the VC of Lucknow
university during 1926-1930 and Kali Prasad had been VC during 1960-61.
W Selby (1911) was the first principal of King
George's Medical College.
The success of this great project of medical education and
relief was already assured when the foundation stone was laid by His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales in 1906 and during his second visit for the
Coronation Durbar as King Emperor, His Majesty was pleased to give his consent
and to designate the College by his name.
A change took place in the control of the Medical College
and Hospital in 1921 when these institutions were transferred to the new
Lucknow University and ceased to be directly under the Government of the United
Provinces. Hither-to the College had been affiliated to the Allahabad
University. For the first time in 1922 the degrees granted to the successful
students was the M.B.B.S. Lucknow instead of the M.B.B.S. Allahabad, as
hitherto.
