Description

The Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata INK is the dream of one individual Dr R P Sengupta an eminent neurosurgeon practising in England since 1961 but with roots in Kolkata

The absence of proper neurological treatment including neurosurgery care for psychiatric problems after head injury and stroke and neurorehabilitation particularly amongst children in the eastern region prompted Dr Sengupta to set up a nonprofit establishment in Kolkata for providing neurological care of international standards at affordable prices

INK is registered under the Indian Companies Act 1987 as a quotnot for profitquot company where the Directors do not receive any benefit The annual surplus income will be ploughed back for further development of the institute
