Named after Smt. Kusum Devi, the esteemed institution honours the legacy of the Dugar family, who have been notable patrons of education and healthcare.

The college offers a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program, which is recognized by the Dental Council of India (DCI) and affiliated with the West Bengal University of Health Sciences. The rigorous curriculum is designed to provide comprehensive dental education, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Students are trained in various aspects of dental science, including Oral Pathology, Orthodontics, Paedodontics, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, Oral Medicine and Radiology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, and Public Health Dentistry.

Situated within a lush green campus in the heart of Kolkata, our college not only caters to the academic and clinical needs of our students but also fosters a vibrant community conducive to personal growth and exploration.

The state-of-the-art auditorium Maa Karni and the mini auditorium Synapse with a seating capacity of around 400 and 100 audiences respectively ensure that any educational activity happening in the college is witnessed by the young budding dentists. It also serves as a perfect place for the students to refresh their minds from the pressure of academics with the conduction of several cultural activities.

By bringing quality dental care closer to those who need, our college commits to oral health equity and ensures that everyone has access to comprehensive dental services through our General Dentistry Clinics.

The bustling city of Kolkata, with its historic charm and cultural vibrancy, serves as the perfect backdrop for our educational endeavors. Our campus, equipped with modern amenities and state-of-the-art facilities including CAD-CAM laboratories and air-conditioned classrooms is a testament to our dedication to providing a conducive learning environment.

From cutting-edge technology such as orthopantomogram for maxillofacial radiography to advanced student laboratories and a comprehensive air-conditioned e-library, we ensure that our students have access to the tools they need for academic excellence and research innovation.

With approximately 350-400 patients seeking dental care daily, our nine specialized departments cater to a wide spectrum of dental treatments, ranging from basic oral prophylaxis to advanced procedures such as dental implants and maxillofacial surgeries.

Beyond clinical practice, we emphasize community engagement through regular dental camps aimed at providing healthcare services to underprivileged populations across the city and its outskirts. Crossing districts and bridging the gap between the population and healthcare is the motto of such activities.

At the heart of our institution lies a commitment to promote oral health and preventing diseases such as oral cancer. Through our fully functional tobacco cessation center, equipped with modern counselling techniques and audio-visual aids, we strive to empower patients to lead healthier lives free from the harms of tobacco use. Additionally, our efforts extend beyond individual counselling sessions to encompass community-wide awareness initiatives aimed at combating the prevalence of oral cancer.
