Though this institution started its journey as Medical College & Hospital in the year 2010, but it has a long rich history with a vision to serve the socio-economically poor people of that area for about 100 years as Sagore Dutt Charitable Hospital and Dispensary by a philanthropic organization. It is named after Sri Sagore Dutta, who was a Jute Merchant by Profession, though he was mainly famous for his philanthropic activity. Jute Mercantile was his family business established by his father, which he developed to such an extent that it became a famous and trusted company to British Empire.

He established many schools as well as this hospital. Sagore Dutta’s original residence was in Hooghly. But he shifted to Kolkata (Sagore Dutta Lane, off Central Avenue opposite Medical College, Kolkata) to look after his business.

He often had to travel from Kolkata to Hooghly. It was a long journey at that time by horse-driven cart.
