Distinguished Chief Guest of the Annual Day, Prof. J.K.Sinha, the
Guest of Honour, Dr.Pooja Bhardwaj, Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor
Prof.Panjab Singh, Members of the Executive Council of Banaras
Hindu University, Deans Faculties of Medicine, Ayurveda and Dental
Sciences, Members of the Academic Council, Medical
Superintendent, S.S.Hospital, Invited Guests, esteemed Faculty
members, Resident Doctors, Students, Employees of the Institute
and the Hospital, media persons, ladies and gentlemen,
I am pleased to welcome you on the occasion of the 48th Annual Day
of our Institute of Medical Sciences and share with you our
achievements during the last one year i.e. 2007 and 2008. The
Annual Day gives us opportunity of reviewing our progress each
year. This also gives us an occasion to reaffirm our resolve to do
even better in the coming years, marching steadily together towards
the ultimate aim to realize the dreams of the beloved founder of our
Institute. The progress we have made has been entirely driven by the
inspiration and encouragement of our ever dynamic and charismatic
Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Panjab Singh.
The Banaras Hindu University, a temple of learning, was the creation
of our great Nationalist leader Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan
Malaviya way back in the year 1916. It has fulfilled the aims of its
founder by helping in the development of the country in the field of
education, research and personality development. The luminaries
that flocked to the services of this great University proudly include
Prof.K.N.Udupa, who founded our Institute of Medical Sciences. A
great visionary as he was, Prof.Udupa created a unique medical
institution with modern Medicine and traditional Indian MedicineAyurveda under one roof. I take this opportunity to pay homage on
behalf of the Institute to both the founders – Mahamana Pandit
Madan Mohan Malaviya and Prof.K.N.Udupa. Our whole hearted
dedication towards our patients, research and medical education will
be, I believe, a great tribute to them. I am extremely happy on the
achievements of our Institute faculty members thus far though my
expectations from them are even higher and I am sure that my
dreams will be fulfilled in future.
With this all, I appraise before you a brief account of what we have attained in the
last one year.

SIR SUNDERLAL HOSPITAL
Sir Sunderlal Hospital (SSH) was established in the year 1926 initially with 96 Beds. It named
after Sir Sunderlal, the first Vice-Chancellor of the Banaras Hindu University. Establishing a
hospital was a long cherished dream of Mahamana Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya that was fulfilled
in the year 1924 when His Highness Late Shri Prabhu Narayan Singh, the former Kashi Naresh,
laid the foundation of the hospital. Presently the Hospital has grown to a 1165 bed hospital
(Modern Medicine 1029; Ayurveda 136).
The SSH attached to the Institute of Medical Sciences, B.H.U. is primarily a teaching and training
hospital for the Undergraduates, (MBBS / BAMS), Post Graduates (MD / MS / MDS / MD. (Ay.)),
Post-Doctoral (DM / MCh), Ph.D. and Diploma Nursing scholars. Besides it also imparts Inservice training to Paramedical staff.
The Hospital is housed in a multistoried building. It has 2 unique features not found in any
medical establishment of the country. Firstly, it blends Indian (Ayurveda) and Modern Systems of
Medicine under one roof. Secondly, it is situated in a sprawling University Campus with ongoing
close interfaculty co-operation in research. The SSH has a vast catchment area, being the only
Tertiary Care Hospital in North Eastern UP providing medical cover to over 15 crores population
of Eastern UP, Western Bihar, adjoining areas of Madhya Pradesh and Nepal. It also caters for
the medical needs of its University Employees, their Families and University students. It is a
premier referral hospital not only for the City Hospitals, DLW, Military Hospital, District Hospitals,
NTPC, Coal India and BHEL, etc but also for the VIPs / VVIP s visiting the Varanasi Division.
The Hospital is primarily maintained on aid from Ministry of Human Resource Development, GOI
through University Grants Commission. Recently the Hospital’s earning through “Revolving
Fund” has helped greatly in generating funds locally for maintenance of the Hospital
infrastructure and instruments. A certain amount of its share is also transferred to the University
pool.

OUR STRATEGIES AND FUTURE GOALS
I see a very bright future of our Institute. Some of our ongoing major
projects are establishment of an ultra modern 64 slice Computed
Tomography Scan, construction of a superspeciality Trauma Centre,
Dental College and College of Nursing near the OPD block of the
S.S. Hospital and at the foundation stone site of the Banaras Hindu
University.
New departments and centers at the horizon include the
Departments of Nuclear Medicine, Transfusion Medicine, Medical
Oncology, Biostatistics, Centers of Pre-natal Diagnosis and Genetic
Counseling, Wound Management, Excellence in Ksharsutra,
International Centre of Panchkarma and Yoga, etc. The Institute is
also procuring modern equipments for its different departments.
I am sure that all these facilities will together deliver
comprehensiveness and prestige to our Institute and set the
standards very high indeed. I see only a few centers in the country
comparable to our Institute and the credit goes undoubtedly, to all the
human resource of our esteemed Institute who are discharging their
duties with sincerity and vigor.
Let us resolve once again to make our Institute the best in our
country.
