Introduction
The development of Microbiology as a scientific discipline dates from Louis Pasteur (1822-95). A number of scientists from this field have been awarded the Nobel Prize, which is evidence of the positive contribution made to human health by the science of Microbiology. Medical Microbiology is that section of Medicine which deals with the study of microorganisms and their role in human health and diseases.
The second government Medical College (Dr. RPGMC, Kangra at Tanda) of the state was established to cater to the needs of the people of the district Kangra and other surrounding districts. The department of Microbiology was set up in November; 1997. Department of Microbiology is located in the left-wing of the 2nd floor of Dr. B.C. Roy, Para clinical Block.
