Sir William Jones, who was a Supreme Court judge at the then Calcutta, founded the Asiatic society at Kolkatta on 15th January 1784. Sir William Jones was a renowned scholar who knew many languages and an abiding interest in cultivation of knowledge in the civilization of Asia. The study of civilization was fundamental aim of the Asiatic society. It was primarily devoted to continuous and intensive cultivation of knowledge of the Indian subcontinent and Asiatic continent. The result of this endless research firstly collection of huge volume of materials for study and analysis and secondly, publication of such studies systematically in journals like Asiatick research and journal of Asiatic society. The research by European and Indian scholars contributed to the discovery of Asia and its ancient contribution of this civilization to the entire world much before Europeans made their impact. It is here that Alexander Korus wrote the Tibetan Dictionary,, James Prinsep deciphered the Brahmani script, and H.T. Colebrook studied about ancient Indian science.

Dr. Bijoy K Naik

Dr. Bijoy Kumar Naik is only a very few of real natives from Sundargarh District who served IGH in a career spanning nearly 35 years. A true son of the soil, Dr. Naik had the uncanny habit of helping his own villagers and tribes men in IGH who often were non-entitled patients with little or no money to bear the treatment costs.The charges were often born by his writing an undertaking to the company to deduct the amount from his salary. Though he did his specialisation in General Surgery relatively late, he rose to become a model grafter of skin in the Burns & Plastic Unit he headed till super-annuation.
