The college, known for its rich, glorious legacy and its immense contribution to the field of education in the country, has its origin in the Metropolitan Training School - later renamed as Calcutta Training School - which was set up by Thakurdas Chakraborty at 1 Arpuly Lane in 1859. In 1860, Vidyasagar became the President of the managing committee of the Training School. In 1864, he was entrusted with the complete charge of its administration and in the same year, he renamed the school as Metropolitan Institution. Vidyasagar sought collegiate affiliation from Calcutta University and the Institution was granted affiliation for First Arts on 1st January, 1872. This day is celebrated as the Foundation Day of Vidyasagar College. Later in 1879, the Institution was declared a first grade college with BA affiliation. In due course affiliation for the BL course was granted. In 1882 postgraduate courses were introduced and a record number of students passed with flying colours. In 1917, the Metropolitan Institution was renamed as Vidyasagar College. It can be regarded as the first truly secular educational institution in the pre-independence era as the college was entirely run by Indian academicians. As part of the expansion plans, an evening section devoted to the teaching of Commerce was opened in 1922. In 1931, a morning section - the women's department of the college - was established. In 1960, the two sections developed into independent colleges known as Vidyasagar Evening College and Vidyasagar College for Women respectively. During World War II, two branches of the college were set up in Nabadwip and Suri which later became known as Nabadwip Vidyasagar College and Suri Vidyasagar College respectively. The Dawn Society (1902), precursor of the National Council of Education, that later came to be known as Jadavpur University, began functioning from Vidyasagar College. Several eminent personalities have been associated with Vidyasagar College in various ways - Rashtraguru Surendranath Banerjee, Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, Professor Sisir Kumar Bhaduri, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, Acharya Jadunath Sarkar, G.D. Birla, Ram Manohar Lohia and Babu Jagjiban Ram, to name a few. The Institution offers flexible programmes at the undergraduate and post- graduate levels (under autonomous status). It has, at present 20 Honours courses, 21 General subjects and two postgraduate courses in Zoology and Geography. It is the aim of the institution to open more post-graduate courses, job-oriented courses and also to inculcate research aspiration in students. The Governing Body provides efficient and effective leadership in improving the academic, administrative and financial aspects of the college. VIDYASAGAR COLLEGE Admission to the college is based strictly on merit of the total number of students 43.1% are female, 14% are from the SC/ST category and 40% are from the rural, urban and backward areas of West Bengal. The average percentage of success of graduating students is 90-95%, while that for post graduation is 100%. The academic subcommittee deals with the attendance of the students strictly and regular parent-teacher meetings are held. Periodical tests are also held to ensure that the syllabi are properly covered and that the students improve their academic performance. The college library has a vast collection of books - curriculum based text books, reference books and rare and old books including some used by the founder himself. Several departments have well-stocked seminar libraries, too. With a view to supplementing the curriculum, seminars, workshops and popular lectures on various topics of academic and social interests are organized. The teachers counsel students on academic and personal issues and a grievance redressal mechanism has also become operative. A health-care unit has been set up to cater to students as well as the staff. Sports, social and cultural functions, science club, cine club and N.S.S are some of the student activities which deserve special mention. Apart from prizes, scholarships and endowments, free studentship and assistance from the Students Aid Fund are offered to financially handicapped but meritorious students. There is also an SC/ST cell providing statutory educational and financial facilities to SC/ST students. A placement cell has been constituted and is operative. Vidyasagar College Computer Centre is accredited to the Department of Electronics, Government of India, to conduct CCC, 'O’ level and ‘A’ level courses. The college is proud of the fact that the first phase of construction of its third campus, situated in CL Block of Bidhannagar, is complete. Currently, two Post Graduate programmes in Zoology and Geography are run from that campus. Efforts are on to introduce more technology based and job-oriented courses. This campus will also boast of a Girls’ Hostel in compliance with a long standing demand from the students. All in all, with its wide range of academic programmes and excellent educational facilities, the College, whose motto is ‘Wisdom, Sacrifice and Service', is set to take on the challenges in the field of education in the twenty-first century. The college has been accredited by NAAC in January 2009. Department of Zoology of the college has been supported by DBT Sponsored Star College Scheme, under Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, for its excellent academic performance. 5 PROSPECTUS 20133 Admission Process Admission to different honours and general courses are conducted by the college in a very transparent matter. We advertise in the leading dailies and also on our website about distribution of forms. A detailed merit list of all the candidates in each stream is prepared meticulously. Thereafter, counseling and admission are done with the help of teachers and non-teaching staffs. In each stage all notices and announcements are clearly and regularly posted on our website well ahead of commencement of the process. The rules of the University of Calcutta are strictly adhered to in the entire process. About the College Attendance Attendance at classes should be above 75% in each subject separately and in no case should be below 60% in each subject separately. Students with lower percentage of attendance are not eligible to appear at the Calcutta University examinations. Only those students, with the requisite percentage of attendance to be decided upon and notified by the college, are allowed to sit in the college examinations and the decision of the college in this regard is final. Admission of students who fail to attend 75% of lectures delivered in all subjects separately in fifteen teaching days from the commencement of classes is liable to be cancelled. Names of the students, who will be absent from College for more than fifteen consecutive teaching days without any written intimation, are liable to be struck off the rolls and such students may not be readmitted. Schedule of college tests and examinations All college tests and examinations as per latest C.U. notification will be communicated to students in due course. Teachers’ Council Teachers' Council (TC) is the most important non-administrative body of the College which ensures smooth functioning of day to day activities. The council is presided over by the Principal (as president) with the assistance of the secretary, selected from the council members through election, though in case of a unanimously chosen candidate the electoral procedure can be avoided. The secretary, after being elected, forms different subcommittees with the help from the President and the TC members. These subcommittees take care of the numerous college activities. Names of the members of each sub-committee are eventually ratified by the Governing Body. Alongside TC representatives, most of the subcommittees, barring those which deal exclusively with Teachers' Council issues, have representatives from the non- VIDYASAGAR COLLEGE teaching staffs and the student community to facilitate the smooth functioning of the College. The academic subcommittee takes care of all the academic issues, overviews the general performance of the college students in the internal as well as the University examinations, discusses possible future improvements, introduces new courses, implements new regulations

It uncovers a historical pattern of Bengali intellectual life that marked the period from the 1870stothe1920s, whereby an imperial imagination was transformed into an international one, as a generation of intellectuals born between 1885 and 1905 reinvented the political category of “youth”. Hermeneutics, as a philosophically informed study of how meaning is created through conversation, and grounded in this essay in the thought of Hans Georg Gadamer, helps to reveal this pattern.

  • The Era of Science Enthusiasts in Bengal (1841-1891): Akshayakumar, Vidyasagar and Rajendralala
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 47.3 (2012) 375-425 THE ERA OF SCIENCE ENTHUSIASTS IN BENGAL (1841-1891): AKSHAYAKUMAR, VIDYASAGAR AND RAJENDRALALA ARUN KUMAR BISWAS* (Received 14 March 2012) During the nineteenth century, the Indian sub-continent witnessed two distinct outbursts of scientific enthusiasm in Bengal: one led by Rammohun Roy and his compatriots (1820-1840) and the other piloted by Mahendralal Sircar and Eugene Lafont (1860-1910). The intermediate decades were pioneered by the triumvirate: Akshayakumar, Vidyasagar, Rajendralala and a few others. Several scientific journals such as Tattvabodhinī Patrika–, Vivida–rtha Samgraha, Rahasya Sandarbha etc dominated the intellectual environment in the country. Some outstanding scientific books were written in Bengali by the triumvirate.Vidyasagar reformed the science content in the educational curricula. Akshayakumar was a champion in the newly emerging philosophy of science in India. Rajendralala was a colossus in the Asiatic Society, master in geography, archaeology, antiquity studies, various technical sciences, and proposed a scheme for rendering European scientific terms into vernaculars of India. There was a separate Muslim community’s approach to science in the 19th Century India. Key words: Akshayakumar, Botanical Collection, Geography, Muslim Community approach to Science, Phrenology, Rajendralala, Science enthusiasts (1841-1891), Technical Sciences, Triumvirate, Positivism, Vidyasagar INTRODUCTION It can be proposed that the first science movement in India was chiefly concentrated in the city of Calcutta and spanned the period of approximately quarter of a century (1814-39) coinciding with the entry of *Flat 2A, ‘Kamalini’ 69A, Townshend Road, Kolkata-700026 376 INDIAN JOURNAL OF HISTORY OF SCIENCE Rammohun in the city and James Prinsep’s departure from it.

  • Principal's Annual Report for the Year 2016-17 Vidyasagar College For
    Principal’s Annual Report for the Year 2016-17 Vidyasagar College for Women I take great pleasure in presenting the Annual Report of Vidyasagar Collge for Women documenting its developments and achievements. The year 2016-17 was marked with many events and successes. This can be attributed to the dedication and team spirit of the members of the management, staff and students. The history of the Vidyasagar College For Women (VCFW) goes back to the year 1872 when Vidyasagar College was found by Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar in the heart of Calcutta. The college began as a separate women‟s section of the Vidyasagar College from the year 1931. In the year 1960 Vidyasagar College for Women grew out of its infancy when it received its affiliation from the University of Calcutta and was established as an independent college solely for young women. The iconic figure of Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar continues to inspire generations of women. A great asset of this college is Pandit Iswar Chandra's own house which is the designated as the 2nd campus of the college. In 2014, Vidyasagar College for Women acquired a Third Campus at 8A Sibnarayan Das Lane, Kolkata: 700006. The Third Campus houses the Central Library of the College, an air-conditioned staff room, an IQAC Room and ICT-enabled classroom, a modern Computer Lab, an Auditorium and several classrooms. VISION The vision of the College is to foster inclusiveness in access to higher education, irrespective of class or caste and to instil students with positive values and a humanistic spirit of service to the wider community.

  • Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray Nitai Chandra Mandal, FNA Ex-Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Bose Institute, Kolkata
    Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray Nitai Chandra Mandal, FNA Ex-Professor, Department of BioChemistry, Bose Institute, Kolkata Prafulla Chandra Ray was born in the village of Raruli in the District of Jessore (now Khulna) in the then undivided Bengal (now Bangladesh) on August 2, 1861. In the same year, two other great personaliteis, one Rabindranath Tagore was born at Jorasanko, Calcutta, and the other Mr Motilal Nehru was born at Allahabad. Also during the same year, the 81st element in the Mendeleev‟s Periodic Table, Thallium was discovered in the Crook‟s Chemical Laboratory. His father, Harish Chandra Ray was a wealthy land lord, He was the youngest among his brothers. Harish Chandra was a very meritorious student. But, during his study at Krishnanagar College, suddenly his father died. Such circumstance compelled him to discontinue his study and come back to Raruli for taking the responsibility of looking after the Zamindary. He became an active associate of the then New Bengal Movement and engaged himself for the spread of education in his locality. By virtue of his attachment to various federal committees as member, he had close association with many high profile personalities. He was well versed in several languages like English, Parsi, Arabic and Sanskrit. He built a library at home where he kept many books covering all the above languages. Besides, he used to subscribe regularly various News Papers and Magazines So, Prafulla Chandra had the opportunity to utilize this literary environment at home to build the foundation of learning above languages and developing interest in literatures. Through the reading of editorials and criticisms in all those news papers and magazines, he developed the attitude of expressing his personal opinion on any issue, which, actually, was reflected in his various writings in the future.

Ltd., ....~ 7 Uld Publlabed .., the Local s-.r,., All Jndla OrieDtal Confennce, Town Hall, Bombay 1. PRICE IUIPBES '!:. PREFACE The rise and growth of Bombay present interesting problems to a student of history. While the city has been built in comparatively modern times the formation of the island and its rock temples arouse the interest of the geologist and the antiquarian. The history of the island upto 1500 A.D. is not very eventful; this tropical island and its native population slumbered in peaceful repose till the first European set foot on its soil and set in train forces which transformed it into one of the largest cities in the East and made it the beehive of commerce and industry. How this transformation was wrought, what factors contributed to it, has been narrated in the pages that follow. The object of the book as the title explains is to narrate the story of the island city in simple outline. The main sources of information are Edwardes' Rise of Bombay and the statistical Account of the town and island of Bombay based on old Government records and prepared for the Bombay Gazetteer. Other sources have also been consulted. The account of research institutes in the city will, it is hoped, interest Orientalists and Historians.
