  • FOOD FESTIVAL 2018 Please Ensure
    FOOD FESTIVAL 2018 The scent of the warm, summer air carries with it winds of memories- home-made pickles, mango jams and a hundred other recipes of love. A walk back to those good, old summer days, with food in our tummies and satiated smiles; the food fest brings us back the simple pleasures of childhood. Nostalgia hits us hard when those summer flavours tingle our nose buds and lure us into memories more precious than the mundane fast food that’s slowly infiltrating our lives. We at the Vidyalaya see the food festival as a great occasion to go exploring; across our country and the world, in search of flavours unknown and smells fresh and sweet. Open the crumbling recipe books and fish out a recipe, the scent of which takes you back on a journey that has stood the test of time. We’d like to explore local and traditional delicacies, part of our rich, culinary heritage. Traditional practises have naturally kept us in sync with the environment. Some households even today make use of every part of the edible fruit, be it the seed or the peel. In keeping with this tradition of amalgamating every natural product into a delicacy, we’d like to invite all the parents to experiment and think beyond. Please ensure: The Vidyalaya has taught us to show responsibility towards our environment and we wish to practise the same during this year’s food festival. We hope that the parents will encourage our initiative by keeping in mind a few points during the food fest.

  • Introduction History of Bengal
    Introduction West Bengal is one of the thirty-seven constituent states/ Union Territories of the Union of India lying on the eastern region of the country. India's total landmass is divided into 28 states and 9 union territories. Until 6 August 2019, there were officially 29 states in India. However, that number now has decreased by one to make 28 states after Jammu & Kashmir was granted the status of a Union Territory with its own legislature. It is the 4th ranked state in percentage share of 7.79 to total population of India and also the seventh most populous of the sub-national entity of the world, with over 91 million inhabitants covering a total area of 88,752 sq. km3. West Bengal is one of the most thickly populated states with population density of 1028 per sq. km. The striking point is that with 2.70 percent land share of the country it sustains 7.55 per cent of its population, ranks 12th in area but 4th in population share. A major agricultural producer, West Bengal is the 6th largest contributor to India’s net domestic product. It is bordered by the five national boundaries of Orissa, Jharkhand and Bihar on the west, Sikkim on the north and Assam on the east. It has international borders with the neighbouring countries – Bhutan and Nepal on the north and Bangladesh on the east. History of Bengal Bengal finds a place even in prehistoric times. Stone-age tools have been excavated in the state dating back 20,000 years. Remains of civilization in the greater Bengal region date back 4,000 years.

The lettering was mostly illegible and the photograph had vanished under a smudge of soot.

Foreword I am extremely delighted to note that the Department of English is bringing out a book on relevant issues relating to Remapping Identity, Culture and History through Literature in collusion with Veda Publications. The essays by erudite academicians and research scholars probe deeply into assorted aspects of modern global issues of Identity, Culture and History, a multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with cross references that connect Literature with Culture and History of various works of authors dealing with cultural aspects and Identity crisis globally. Diversified poems, novels and plays written by authors throw light on the current burning issue of diaspora and cultural conflicts. The younger generation will glean awareness on various sensitive issues like marginalization and trauma of migration that confronts people today. I am sure this book will give numerous ideas which will be an eye opener to many issues through a plethora of literary genres.
