About Kolkata
Kolkata, erstwhile capital city of British India, the gateway to the East, the "City of Joy", the City of palaces and perhaps a city of rallies and processions- the city means many thing to many people, perhaps most of all, the cultural hub of India.
Home to 5 Nobel Laureates, the city has bred legions of renowned authors, artists, scientists and film makers. Cricket and football-era Kolkata is also a foodies paradise. It is a melting pot of myriad colours, sights, sounds and tastes that makes every visit an unforgettable journey through time. The city effortlessly bridges the old and the new, always ready to embrace and entertain visitors. The city boasts of Medical College & Hospitals, the oldest medical school in Asia which has very recently celebrated its 175th year. Radiotherapy too, has a long history in this institute, with the first department ever in India, which has recently celebrated its centenary. The city now houses a large number of modern Radiotherapy departments, in both government and corporate sectors.
