Chittaranjan Cancer Hospital (CCH) was established with the support of Dr. B.C.Roy, an eminent physician and then the Chief Minister of West Bengal. The hospital was formally inaugurated by Prof. Madam J. Curie on January 2, 1950, and named after Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das as a tribute to and in acknowledgment of the enormous donation of his land and property for the cause. Initially, this was a Cancer -treatment Centre which gradually expanded its basic and clinical research activities with assistance from government funding organizations. This eventually led to the founding of the Chittaranjan National Cancer Centre (CNCRC), funded by the Government of India in 1957, which was committed to basic research on cancer.
