Health Mela-2017 organised at KGMU campus

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.

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.
