Udoy Chand Dutt, a prominent promoter of the Indian materia medica lived during the nineteenth century. No account of his life history and career has become available. It is on record that he worked as Civil Medical Officer at certain stations in colonial Bengal. He may have studied at the Calcutta Medical College; he developed interest in Indigenous Drugs of India. He examined Nidāna, a Sanskrit work compiled by Mahadub Kur, a Śudra, several centuries earlier. Dutt found it to contain clear and concise account of the diseases and injuries known to Hindu physicians up to the time when it was written, and he translated Nidāna into Bengali, in around 1874. Udoy Chand Dutt got better known for the Materia Medica of the Hindus which he published in 1877, covering the mineral, vegetable and animal Materia Medica; the long introduction provided a useful material, and Glossary on Indian Plants which he prepared with help from George King of Royal Botanical Garden, constituted an important part of the work.
