Stamps of India – King George Medical College/CSM, Lucknow – By India Post
The medical college was formally opened in October 1911, the year when His Majesty King George V and Queen Mary visited India, by the then Lt. Governor of United Provinces – Sir John Prescott Hewett. Every year since 1916, the ‘topper’ of the Final Professional Examination is decorated with the ‘Hewett Medal’ in honor of the man who opened the portals of the college to ‘Georgians’. Dr. K. S. Nigam was the first Hewett medallist of this college. Col. W. Selby was the first Principal and Professor of Surgery and Lt. Col. C. A. Sprawson was the first physician. To start with the total faculty consisted of 5 professors and 2 lecturers. On the advice of the General Medical Council of Great Britain, a framework of admissions and courses of study was organised. Initially, the college was affiliated to the Allahabad University.
A major milestone in the history of this institution is it’s conversion and upgradation as the Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University. This came about by an act passed on the 16th September 2002 by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under Chief Minister Sushree Mayawati. This is the only medical university in the north and one of 3 such universities in the country.
