National Neurosciences Centre - Panchasayar

The inauguration of NNC on the 15th December 1997 was a mixture of great personal emotion and excitement. In addition to the constant support of Peerless Hospital and our own staff there were three great men who were instrumental in providing fuel to the fire of our imagination. These were Swami LokeswaranadajiMaharaj of the Rama Krishna Mission Institute of Culture, Prof. B.Ramamurthi the doyen of Indian Neurosurgery and Prof. P.N. Tandon, a great Neuroscientist who recently has been awarded Padma Bibhusan and with their blessing, we felt we could conquer the world. No wonder starting from the Governor, Ministers of the Govt. of West Bengal, the hon’ble Mayor of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, our national and international friends were all there at the inauguration ceremony.
