Accordingly Citizens’ Eye & Health Care was established on 1 St July, 2014. The house where it was established is already a known place for the people of the district Hooghly, because Dr Ranjit Sarkar,the most eminent Ophthalmologist of West Bengal had his eye clinic for more than 50 years in this building. Though it was owned and constructed by Dr. Ranjit Sarkar in mid 60’s but psychologically it was owned by Citizens of the district as a place for respect, faith and belief for good scientific health care.
