Ltd. Acknowledgement Annual Report of the ‘Satyendra Nath Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences’ is a brief representation of its activities of a financial year. The report reflects research activities, administrative activities, academic progress and achievement of young research scholars, development of infrastructure and facilities, and establishment of network with advanced research groups around the world. It’s seventh time I have been assigned the job of compilation of Annual Report of the Centre. To prepare the Annual Report, all the faculty members and sections of the Centre spent their valuable time to provide respective data. It is a time bound work to be completed within a short span of time. This is the first time the Annual Report is translated and typed in Hindi within the Centre. The Hindi Officer, Sadhana Tiwari has given sincere fatigueless effort to translate the entire Annual Report in Hindi and library staff - Gurudas Ghosh and Ananya Sarkar typed the Annual Report in Hindi within a very limited time period. Words won’t be suffice to describe the painstaking labour of Hindi translation team. I would like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and labour of my Library staff - Gurudas Ghosh, Ananya Sarkar and Amit Roy without whom the work could not be completed within the stipulated time.

It is an autonomous institution fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. The Institute was founded as the Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI). On 10th Oct 2000 the Institute was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the acclaimed mathematician, the late Prof Harish-Chandra. MRI started with the efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad, with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period, in January 1983 Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the DAE entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institute’s future.

    Limiting Value of the Kolkata Index for Social Inequality and a Possible Social Constant Asim Ghosh1, ∗ and Bikas K Chakrabarti2, 3, 4, † 1Raghunathpur College, Raghunathpur, Purulia 723133, India. 2Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata 700064, India. 3Economic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata 700108, India. 4S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata 700106, India Based on some analytic structural properties of the Gini and Kolkata indices for social inequality, as obtained from a generic form of the Lorenz function, we make a conjecture that the limiting (effective saturation) value of the above-mentioned indices is about 0.865. This, together with some more new observations on the citation statistics of individual authors (including Nobel laureates), suggests that about 14% of people or papers or social conflicts tend to earn or attract or cause about 86% of wealth or citations or deaths respectively in very competitive situations in markets, universities or wars. This is a modified form of the (more than a) century old 80 − 20 law of Pareto in economy (not visible today because of various welfare and other strategies) and gives an universal value (0.86) of social (inequality) constant or number. I. INTRODUCTION Unlike the universal constants in physical sciences, like the Gravitational Constant of Newton’s Gravity law, Boltzmann Constant of thermodynamics or Planck’s Constant of Quantum Mechanics, there is no established universal constant yet in social sciences. There have of course been suggestion of several possible candidates. Stanley Milgram’s experiment [1] to determine the social ‘contact-distance’ between any two per- sons of the society, by trying to deliver letters from and to random people through personal chains of friends or acquaintances, suggested ‘Six Degrees of Separation’.
