  • Changing Role of Science Clubs in Communicating Science
    Article 6 Global Media Journal – Indian Edition/ISSN 2249-5835 Sponsored by the University of Calcutta/ www.caluniv.ac.in Summer Issue / June 2013/ Vol.4/No.1 CHANGING ROLE OF SCIENCE CLUBS IN COMMUNICATING SCIENCE Dr. Sabyasachi Chatterjee Associate Professor, Department of History University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India Website: www.klyuniv.ac.in Email: [email protected] Abstract: The growth of scientific awareness among humans is a mere necessity for the development of society. It can be generated through science communication. Science communication is a specialized skill to make people acquainted with the methodology of science in different ways. The arena of science communication can be specified with the trinity of popularisation of science, spread of scientific temper and use of science and technology for the welfare of the common people. The role of individuals, periodicals and organisations (both governmental and non-governmental) in the context of science communication can be taken into account. In this paper an attempt will be made to look into the role of science clubs of West Bengal in communicating science. The process of establishment of science clubs was started before independence, i.e. before the birth of the state of West Bengal. Primarily, the activities of the science clubs were confined to the science popularisation programmes only. Later, the working domain of the science clubs expanded. The initiatives that were taken in developing science club movement in the formative years and in the later days were certainly in keeping with the contemporary social conditions. As time passes, the objective condition changes. It is important to explore the changing role of science clubs which the present paper is aimed at.

  • 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.

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.

    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.

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.

India has a good quality of Black Bengal goat populations, which has significant role in the lives of the local goat rearers. The objective of the present study is to realize the influence of seasonal variation on the serum progesterone of Black Bengal does (Capra aegagrus hircus) in two different agro-climatic regions in India. The highest assessment of temperature (42.6 ± 1.5 ºC) has been reported during the month of April or May in the season of pre monsoon in Purulia. However, the lowest assessment of temperature (8.6 ± 0.9 ºC) has been reported during the month of December or January in the season of post monsoon again in Purulia. Progesterone hormone has been analyzed in the serum samples collected once a week. It has been observed that, from January to April for both of the regions of Purulia and Nadia and the month May has the lowest serum progesterone level in Purulia (0.32 ± 0.06 ng/ml) and the serum progesterone hormone concentration stayed approximately the same from January to March in Purulia as similar to Nadia.
