After my graduation from Calcutta, presently known as Kolkata, I joined Postgraduate Institute (PGI), Chandigarh, for postgraduation in General Surgery. When I left Calcutta, Pediatric Surgery Services were available mainly at Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College under the leadership of Dr. Subir Kumar Chatterjee. During my training in General Surgery at PGI, I was posted in pediatric surgery and I was fortunate to get trained by teachers like Dr. I.C. Pathak and Dr. S K. Mitra. I was inspired by them to take up pediatric surgery as my career. After my completion of my course in Pediatric Surgery at PGI, I joined Health Services in West Bengal (at present known as West Bengal Medical Education Services). Working for a short period at Dr. B.C. Roy Memorial Hospital for Children at Calcutta, I joined as a sole pediatric surgeon at the Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER), Calcutta (one of the oldest postgraduate institutes in India). There was no separate pediatric surgery OPD and OT. Children ward was separate but the surgical children used to be admitted under General Surgeons. With passage of time, I learnt how to overcome the resistance of General Surgeons and when I left IPGMER to join Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College, it was a Government sanctioned Pediatric Surgery Department at IPGMER with separate ward, OPD, OT, adequate teaching and junior staffs and all necessary modern equipments.
