History[edit | edit source]

In 1958, the then Chief Minister of Odisha, Harekrushna Mahatab, decided to set up a medical college in Burla to address healthcare problems in western Odisha. The Burla Medical College (BMC) was established in July 1959, with its first batch of students selected from SCB Medical College in Cuttack. Initially facing infrastructural inadequacy, a new campus was designed and constructed, and the college was renamed Veer Surendra Sai Medical College in 1969. It received recognition from the Medical Council of India in 1967.
