The first Chief Minister of West Bengal and the great visionary Dr.Bidhan Chandra Roy's effort to discover anti malarial drug from 'Chhatim' tree (Astonia Scolaris), culminated to the foundation of the pharmaceutical manufacturing company Gluconate Limited in 1933. Following this in 1936 some young ambitious medical practitioners formed Indian Health Institute & Laboratory to manufacture Vaccine, Injections, Tablets, Capsules and liquids. Since 1987 both these companies have been nationalized and vested into Gluconate India Limited and Indian Health and Pharmaceutical limited. In 1990 a new company Gluconate Health Limited was formed and in 1995 both Gluconate India Limited and Indian Health and Pharmaceutical limited were merged into Gluconate Health Limited (GHL). Presently Gluconate Health Limited (GHL) is an Undertaking unit wholly owned by Government of West Bengal, which contrary to the popular belief about government run companies are likely to be unhealthy, GHL stands out proudly and have shown steady growth and profit with promise to grow high in coming years.
