30 December 1960, (B. J. Medical College) Pune Annual Conference, Association of Surgeons of India (ASI) President of ASI, Dr. B. N. Sinha

The Urological Society of India (USI) came into existence as Urology Section' of the Association of Surgeons of India (ASI) at their Annual Conference in Baroda in December, 1961.

At inception a provisional Executive Committee with the late Dr. G.M. Phadke as the Chairman and Dr. B.N. Colabawalla as the Hon. Secretary-cum-Treasurer, were entrusted with the task of framing the rules, enrolling members and ensuring passage through the Governing Body of A.S.I. The membership of the Urology Section, which was later on rechristened as, "The Urological Society of India" was 32, and most of whom were general surgeons along with a handful of trained urologists.

The first Department of Urology, free from the shackles of general surgical service probably was at George's Hospital, Bombay in 1961-62 with Dr. B.N. Colabawalla as the Head. Well established centres were soon established at Madras, Vellore. Delhi and Chandigarh under the Chairmanship of Prof. A.Venugopal, Prof. H.S. Bhat, Prof. S.M. Singh and Prof. B.C. Bapna. What followed in the subsequent decades, was the establishment of many such departments all over the country.
