History
The foundation stone of the Calcutta School of
Tropical Medicine was laid by the Governor. Lord Carmichel in the year 1914,
24th February, the School started functioning in 1921 with Lt. Cd. J. W. D.
Kegaw as the first Director, the first batch of students obtaining their
Diploma in Tropical Medicine (DTM) in 1922.It is the only institution in India
engaged exclusively in research, Post-graduate education and healthcare for
tropical diseases . Basically, the objectives have remained uncharged and the
school provides facilities for research, Post-graduate teaching, training,
investigation and treatment in tropical diseases. Since foundation to 30th
April 1949, the institute, financed and controlled by the State Government of Bengal
from 1st May 1949 to 31st March 1971 it was controlled by a single governing
body under the Government of West Bengal. From 1st April 1971, it is directly
under the Government of West Bengal.
The Calcutta School of Tropical medicine with its attached hospital,
hereinafter referred to as "the institution", was prior to 1st May
1949, financed and controlled by the State Government while a large number of
its research departments were financed and controlled by funds administered by
a Committee created under the Charitable Endowments Act, 1980 (VI of 1890). On
and from 1st May 1949 the institution and its research departments were brought
under the management of a single Governing Body under the control of the State
Government. After twenty years of management by the Governing Body it has been
found that there has arisen disparity in the service conditions of the three
groups of the employees of the institutions, viz. (a) the employees who are
Government servants and are on deputation to the Governing Body (b) the
employees who have been appointed by the governing Body and (c) the employees
of the Committee created under the charitable Endowment Act, hereinafter
referred to as "Endowment Fund" employees. While the Government
employees and the Endowment Fund Employees do not enjoy those benefits.
In view of the existing different patterns in the service conditions of
these categories of staff working in the institution and the difficulties
arising there from the Governing Body at their meeting held on the 19th
December 1969 resolved unanimously that the Government be requested to resume
the entire management of the institution as existing to ensure a homogeneous
character of the service conditions of the staff and efficient functioning of
the institution.
In pursuance of this resolution, the Governing Body, which functions as
the Committee, acting in the administration of the income of the following
Endowment Funds:
(i) The Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Fund
(ii) The Dr. A. Mitra Research Scholarship Fund, and
(iii) The Jogendranarayan Roy Research Scholarship Fund. It has moved an
application under section 5 of the Charitable Endow ments Act, 1890 (Act VI of
1890) for management and conduct of the said institutions by the State
Government
Accordingly, it
has been resolved that –
(i)
the State Government shall resume the financial and administrative
control and management of the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine and the
Carmichael Hospital for Tropical Diseases which was so long vested in the
Governing Body and this institution should, as it had been prior to its
transfer to the management of the Governing Body on the 1st May 1949, be a
full-fledged Government institution; and
(ii)
the existing scheme for management of the Endowment Funds by a Managing
Committee should be amended and the Secretary, Department of Health, Government
of West Bengal, shall be appointed as the 'Administrator' under section 5 (1)
of the Charitable Endowments Act, 1890 to administer the properties of the said
Endowment Funds in accordance with Rules to the framed by the State Government
for the purpose. Necessary statutory notifications are being issued
accordingly.
It is further been resolved that the Governing Body of the Institution
for the time being constituted shall function in an advisory capacity and
render all assistance and discharge such duties as may be assigned to them by
orders to be issued by the State Government in this behalf.
The staff under categories (a), (b) and (c) referred to in Paragraph I
of this Resolution will be Government servants from the date of effect of this
Resolution. The terms and conditions of absorption in Government service or
ending the period of deputation, as the case may be, will be regulated by a
separate Government order which will also provide for the exercise by the staff
of option of retaining the conditions of their service as they existed prior to
the issue of the resolution. Pending completion of all such formalities the
incumbents will be eligible to draw the pay and allowances of their present
posts. The Director of the institution will send to the Accountant-General,
West Bengal a list of such staff, their pay scales, and the emoluments drawn by
them. In order to maintain the specialized character of the institution as a
research institution, it has been resolved that the Director of the institution
shall be authorized to exercise certain powers and functions which has so long
been exercised by the Governning Body. The Director of the institution is
accordingly, inter alia, authorised to –
(a) Exercise the administrative and financial powers in respect of this
institution which are exercisable by the Director of health Services, West
Bengal, as the Head of the department except in
the matter of cadre-control in respect of the medical, non-medical and
paramedical personnel who may be posted in this
institution;
(b) Correspond direct with Government on any matter affecting the institution ;
(c) Have the privilege to the consulted when any staff is sought to be
transferred from or posted to the institution. As a general rule transfer of
offers should, in order to maintain the highly
specialised nature of the institution, be reduced to the minimum.
It is further resolved that this Resolution shall take effect from 1st
April, 1971.
Ordered that the Resolution be published in the "Calcutta
Gazette".

The Carmichael
Hospital For
Tropical Diseases
The foundation stone of the Carmichael Hospital for Tropical Diseases
was laid by the Governor Lord Carmichael on the 25th February 1916. The
Hospital started functioning in 1921 with Lt. col. J.W.D. Megaw as the first Director
and the superientendent of the Hospital with 116 beds for facilities of the
clinical research. At present, total bed strength is 150 and is being
restructured as per G.O. No. HP/O/MS/704/W-12/95, dated 17.11.98.
As in the past, the Carmichael Hospital for Tropical Diseases, continued
to provide facilities for specialised investigation and appropriate treatment
for a large number of patients coming from various parts of India. The guiding
consideration for admission of patients to the hospital was their stability and
usefulness for teaching, investigation study and research. At present,
Immuno-compromised patients prevalent in the country, on which workers of the
school have been carrying on systemic investigation studies, are also admitted.
