PRASANTA is the second son of Pareshnath Banerji. He passed his I.SC from Vidyasagar College, Kolkata and then studied in the INSTITUTE OF HOMOEOPATHY, Mihijam. After getting his fellowship from the Institute in 1956 he became a full-fledged doctor and practiced in his father’s clinic at MIHIJAM, Bihar. Around 1958 it occurred to him that a wider field would give him more scope to utilize his knowledge of Homoeopathy all over the country and benefit the teeming millions to avail of the opportunities for cheaper means of treatment for the cure of their illness. He thought of Calcutta as a venue for his practice. Prasanta Banerji migrated to Kolkata in the year 1958 and established a clinic. By 1986, the pressure of work made it a necessity for him to establish a second clinic.

Dr. Prasanta Banerji inculcated the same prescription form as introduced by his father Dr. Pareshnath, modified and improved it into a concrete treatment form bringing lucidity and user friendliness in homeopathy. He made homeopathy easier to learn and practice thus demystifying it. This allowed replicability in the science. It is due to his sole efforts in this respect, that the modern scientific establishment has finally recognized and accepted the Banerji protocol of treatment using homeopathic medicines into mainstream healthcare.

Dr. Prasanta Banerji is Honorary Advisor to the Hon’ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and is also on the Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) for National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), Government of India.
