Jabalpur had always enjoyed an eminent position in the first-while state of central Province and Berar, Jabalpur-was the heart of Mahakoushal and it was only appropriate on the part of late Mr. Ravi Shankar Shukla, the then Chief Minister of the state of Madhya Pradesh to declare in 1955opening of Medical College in Jabalpur. The states were re-organized in the year 1955-56. Many of the students of the first batch of Jabalpur Medical College including the author were actually admitted in Nagpur Medical College and were subsequently transferred to Jabalpur. Dr. Rangilal FRCS was the first Dean of the College for about two years.


Construction of the medical college building at the present site was quite fast and the basic sciences teaching commenced here in the years1961-62. Known as Medical College Jabalpur in its yester years, the college was renamed after the great freedom fighter Netaji Subash Chandra Bose in the year1997. It is recognized as the biggest tertiary medical care center in the Mahakoushal region.


In order to keep the momentums of this progress going. It has been proposed to construct a shopping complex with rest house for patient's relative. In the words of our idol Netaji Subash Chandra Bose we have to serve mankind use our intellectual and mental best .it would be clear to the man in the street that before we can endeavor to reconstruct Indian society on a new basis, we should first secure the right to shape our own destiny.
