Bhagat Phool Singh Govt. Medical College owes its existence and location to a social reformer born on 24th Feb, 1885 as Harphool Singh (later Christened Bhagat Phool Singh) in Village Mahara in the state of Haryana to a family of Malik Jats, who were peasants. He was appointed Patwari, a most coveted position of those times, and posted at Seenkh Pathri village in Panipat in 1904, at the tender age of 19. As a Patwari, Phool Singh was involved in all sorts of vices, including taking bribes for doing small jobs and indulging in several bad habits. After spending four years in village Seenkh Pathri, he moved to village Urlana in Panaipat in 1909.
