Following a blueprint prepared by Macaulay and with the help of a trust fund of the legendary philanthropist Haji Mohammed Mohsin, the college started its journey on the 1st day of August, 1836 in Perron’s house, a magnificent piece of architecture overlooking the river, Hooghly. For the first one hundred years of its existence, the college was known as New Hooghly College. On the occasion of its centenary celebrations, the college was renamed as Hooghly Mohsin College. This glorious House of Learning nurtured some of the doyens of the nineteenth century Indian Renaissance. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, the composer of ‘Bande Mataram’ and other eminent writers of Bengal like Dwijendralal Roy, Sanjib Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rangalal Bandyopadhyay were distinguished students of this college.

Mohsin was born to Haji Faizullah and Zainab Khanam in Hooghly in 1732. He was self-taught and vastly learned in the Quran, Hadith and the Fiqh. He travelled to different countries - Iran, Iraq, Arabia and made pilgrimage to holy places, for he believed that travelling widens the horizon of one's perception. He led a very simple and pious life. In the Government record of 1769-70 he is mentioned as setting up several langarkhanas during the Famine of that period and donating to the Government famine fund. He dedicated all the income from his property for charity and, social and educational causes. It is believed that one- third of his fortune was donated for education and religious programmes, four- ninth was donated for giving pensions to the elderly and disabled and the rest was for the expenses of the two trustees. Because of his generosity he was called Danvir Mohsin. He was the founder of Hooghly Immambara. He also gave 40 acres of land out of 42 acres for establishing Government BL College, Khulna, Bangladesh. To commemorate his immense contribution in the field of education, many educational institutions in India and Bangladesh have been named after Muhammad Mohsin. Hooghly Mohsin College, formerly known as New Hooghly College in Chinsurah, West Bengal, was established by him. The College was renamed as Hooghly Mohsin College on its centenary day celebration in 1936 to acknowledge the contribution of its founder Haji Muhammad Mohsin to spread education in West Bengal. On 29th November, 1812, he breathed his last. 3 From the Principal’s Desk “All of the top achievers are life-long learners; looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing and not moving toward excellence.” I welcome you to Hooghly Mohsin College with pride. It is an honour and a privilege to be the Principal of Hooghly Mohsin College, the college that stands for excellence and continuously sets the standard high. This college is an alma mater to which all alumni look back with fond memories. Over its long journey as an esteemed academic citadel, this college has given the country many distinguished personalities and leaders in diverse fields. 4 We feel happy to provide quality education by equipping our students with skills, confidence and a positive approach with an all round development. The college is relentlessly striving to perceive and maintain academic excellence. At the same time, it encourages the students to participate in various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. An amiable environment in Hooghly Mohsin College nurtures creativity, passion, resilience and leadership qualities among students for a comprehensive and holistic development. We value collaborative learning and strongly believe in the importance of teachers, parents and administrators collaborating and communicating to improve the quality of education. Our students are encouraged to engage in the world of a progressive tomorrow with expected skills and attributes. My very competent team of teachers and staff strive to focus on each and every child, nurture them and appreciate their achievement in all spheres. Empowered with a strong sense of well being, we are confident that our students will emerge as responsible global leaders and citizens with strong moral, ethical and social values.

  • Hazi Muhammad Mohsin's Hooghly Imambara
    HERITAGE IN CRISIS Hazi Muhammad Mohsin’s Hooghly Imambara: a Tale of Diminishing Glory Sreecheta Mukherjee Editor Hooghly Imambara, an architectural splendour of the 19th century, is a holy shrine not only to the people of Bengal but also to the entire Muslim community of India. It dignifies the western bank of river Bhagirathi-Hooghly with fading grandeur whispering the story of its glorious past. Hooghly Imambara was originally set up by an eminent Persian merchant Muhammad Aga Motahar in 1717 A.D. He is supposed to have arrived at Hooghly in the very first decade of the 18th century with his salt business. Aga Motahar established a simple one-storied building on the land of present-day Imambara with the aim of residing with his family for the rest of his life. Being a rich person he probably maintained a sophisticated lifestyle. In words of Ibn-I-Imam, “He kept a big establishment of attendants and servants…”—which sounds quite natural for a man of his stature.

    Indian Journal of History of Science, 54.1 (2019) 35-49 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2019/v54i1/49596 U N Brahmachari: Scientific Achievements and Nomination for the Nobel Prize and the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London Rajinder Singh* and Syamal Roy** (Received 30 July 2018) Abstract Bengal produced a number of high rank scientists, but ignored their history. One such unsung hero is Upendra Nath Brahmachari (1873–1946). Brahmachari discovered pentavalent antimonials, Urea Stibamine for the treatment of kala-azar in 1922 long before the discovery of penicillin. In the history of chemotherapy his contribution stands as major landmark. The drug effectively countered the epidemic of kala-azar during the late twentieth century in the vast track of the Gangetic plain and the Brahmaputra valley. The discovery testifies the monument of labor, knowledge and amply rewarded the clinical success it had attained. He was nominated for the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London, as well as Nobel Prize. The present communication1 gives a short review about his life and scientific work. Key words: Dermal leishmanoid, Kala-azar, Leishmania donovani, Urea Stibamine. 1. INTRODUCTION Even today kala-azar is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world (Fig. 1). Recent studies show that about 60,000 patients die annually (Haldar, 2011). A number of articles deal with the history of the disease (Thakur, 2013; Brahmachari, 1928, pp. 2–5; Gibson, 1983; Shrott, 1945; Murry, 2000; Roy, 2010, pp. 33–66; Dutta, 2003 & 2008). Fig. 1.

Saraca L. is one of the most important genera, with several horticultural and therapeutic values. Specific taxonomic and phylogenetic knowledge of Saraca through molecular data is essential for accessing its true medicinal benefits. Nineteen different Partial matK gene sequences of the chloroplast genome of six different species of Saraca, including four amplified and 15 retrieved from the NCBI gene bank, were place in a sequence alignment. The resulting data were examined to determine their phylogenetic and evolutionary interrelationships. The comparative analysis of different sequences of each of the species revealed intra-specific molecular diversity, and the comparison of the matK sequences of six different species defined their inter-specific molecular diversity. The analysis of partial matK sequences revealed the presence of 87 variable sites, 14 parsimony informative sites, 54 singleton sites, and 237 quadri-fold degenerate sites.

The main objective of the study is to examine the perceptions of the DU residential hall library users as they relate to quality service and to determine how far the DU residential hall libraries have succeeded in delivering such service to its users. The primary data were directly collected from residential students of DU in three segments (desired service, minimum service, and perception) using the modified SERVQUAL questionnaire. Different types of measures were calculated as necessitated by the study. The outcome of the study shows that maximum service items fall short of meeting the user’s need. The study recommended also some exploratory guidelines for improving the present library performance. Key words: Library performance measurement, Dhaka University, Residential hall library.

    Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Research Foundation 2nd Bankim Chandra Chaopadhyay Memorial Oraon by Prof. Bibek Debroy Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India on Vision of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat in the Bengal Renaissance Perspectives from History & Literature Date: 9th July 2020 hank you, my dear friend Dr. Anirban Ganguly for having invited me. I am particularly honoured because this is only the second Memorial Oration in memory of Bankim Chandra TChattopadhyay. In the title of the Talk, and the mentioned names and expressions, we have Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee (after whom SPMRF is named), Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Bengal Renaissance and Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. I will try to touch upon all these individuals and all these expressions, beginning with Bengal Renaissance. I may sometimes slip into a little bit of Bengali. But please be reassured that if I do quote in Bengali, I will do my best to also translate it. Renaissance of course means rebirth. The expression Bengal Renaissance was coined with an obvious allusion to the Italian Renaissance. The Bengal Renaissance is characterized by almost a revolution in the domains of culture and society and in intellectual and artistic pursuits, such as in literature. How does one date the Bengal Renaissance? In his book, “History of the Bengali-speaking People”, Dr Nitish Sengupta defined the Bengal Renaissance as the period from Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772-1833) to Rabindranath Tagore (1861- 1941). This is a very long time-frame. Whenever people write about the Bengal renaissance, a lot of emphasis is placed on the Tagore family, which is of course, right.
