Established in 1854, the SNMC is one of the first three oldest medical colleges in India. The college was founded during the British reign. The main purpose behind its establishment was for the practice of British military doctors. The original name of the Sarojini Naidu Medical College was Thomson School and it was named after Lt. Governor Sir James Thomson, founder of the college. The entire plan for establishing the school was done by the British East India Company and the company also bore all the costs for the maintenance of the college.
