The analysis is based on secondary data of Census report of India, 2011. The percentage of literacy of tribes was only 8.54 per cent in 1961 which has increased to 63.1 per cent in 2011. The gross enrolment ratio is higher in class I to V which is 137.2 for ST boys and 136.7 for ST girls. There are some barriers for spreading out education in tribal community of the society. This situation deals with the physical as well as socio-economical obstacles of north eastern part of India.

The College was taken over by the then government in 1854 and renamed Presidency College. Calcutta University was set up in 1857 as a merely examining body. Sixty years later (in 1917), its legendary Vice Chancellor (VC) Justice Sir Asutosh Mukherjee (1864-1924) could succeed in nucleating the University Departments for post graduate teaching and research, concurrent with the assumption of Palit Professorship by Sir C V Raman at Indian Association of Cultivation of Science (IACS), and induction of University toppers, like, Megh Nad Saha, Satyendra Nath Bose, Sisir Kumar Mitra, Sudhangshu Kumar Banerjee, Jnan Chandra Ghosh and Jnanendra Nath Mukherjee in the newly created University College of Science as research and teaching faculty. This success spurred its replication in other Universities of India.

The University has been able to sustain its entrenched position in the academic map of India and of the world because of the united efforts of all sections of the University community and its system of cooperative governance. While the University strives for academic excellence, it remains alive to its social obligations to make India a better place to live in, recalling what Aurobindo Ghosh, one of the founding fathers of the National Council of Education Bengal, which was the precursor of our University, had envisioned our institution to be : “The nucleus of a nation of the new India which is to begin its career after this might and sorrow and trouble, on that day of glory and greatness when India will work for the world.” On my own behalf & on behalf of the University, I sincerely thank the University Press for publishing the Annual Report within the stipulated time.

    Indian Journal of History of Science, 50.3 (2015) 420-428 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2015/v50i4/48314 Sir Asutosh and Rise of Modern Science in India Kankan Bhattacharyya* (Received 18 June 2014) Abstract Sir Asutosh Mookerjee is one of greatest educationist ever born in India. He was an outstanding mathematician and the first Indian to publish a scientific paper in a Journal. Due to lack of opportunity he ‘drifted to law.’ He was Vice Chancellor of the Calcutta University for ten years (1906–1914, 1921–23). As a Vice chancellor, he collected a galaxy of professors— Brajen Seal, C V Raman, S Radhakrishnan, S N Bose, M N Saha, J C Ghosh, Agarkar, Ganesh Prasad, S K Banerjee and others. In 1914, he founded the Science College of Calcutta University. The same year he presided over the first session of the Indian Science Congress.
