190 Years of Anatomy Education in Kolkata

A long time ago, in 1836, a man named Madhusudan Gupta did something very brave.

He performed the first human cadaver dissection in Asia at Calcutta Medical College.

This was a big deal because many people thought it was wrong to touch a dead body.

But Gupta's actions helped change how doctors learn about the human body.

Over the years, using real bodies for learning has become very important for doctors.

Now, they use them to practice surgeries and learn new techniques.

Today, there are also new technologies like AI and virtual reality that help students learn anatomy.

But even with all these new tools, the human body is still the best way to learn.

This story shows how one brave act can change things for a long time.
