John Rothney Barrow, 1929–1930 The newly established college Jahangir Cooverjee Coyajee, 1930–1931 mostly admitted Hindu students Bhupatimohan Sen, 1931-1934 from affluent and progressive Bhupatimohan Sen, 1934–1936 families, but also admitted non- Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, 1936 Hindu students such as Muslims, Bhupatimohan Sen, 1936–1942 Jews, Christians and Buddhists. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, 1942 Bhupatimohan Sen, 1942–1943 At first the classes were held in a Apurbakumar Chanda, 1943 house belonging to Gorachand Jyotirmoy Ghosh, 1943-1944 Bysack of Garanhatta (later Apurbakumar Chanda, 1944 renamed 304, Chitpore Road), which was rented by the college. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, 1945-1946 In January 1818 the college Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, 1946–1947 moved to 'Feringhi Kamal Muhammad Qudrut-i-Khuda, 1947 Bose's house' which was located Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, 1947 nearby in Chitpore.[3] From Jogischandra Sinha, 1947 Chitpore, the college moved to Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, 1948 Bowbazar and later to the Jyotirmoy Ghosh, 1948–1950 building that now houses the Jyotishchandra Sengupta, 1950 Sanskrit College on College Jyotirmoy Ghosh, 1950–1951 Street. Jyotishchandra Sengupta, 1951–1956 F.J.Friend-Pereira, 1956–1958 Early 19th century Sanat Kumar Basu, 1958–1967 Rajendralal Sengupta, 1967–1969 The increasing realization of the Samerendranath Ghoshal, 1969–1970 value of western education made Sudhir Chandra Shome, 1970 the college a coveted destination Pratul Chandra Mukherjee, 1970–1975 for scholars from all over the Sudhir Chandra Shome, 1975–1976 subcontinent. Pupils have come Pratul Chandra Mukherjee, 1976–1979 from almost all parts of the Bijoy Shankar Basak, 1979–1982 country, most notably from Achinta Kumar Mukherjee, 1982–1986 Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Sunil Kumar Rai Chaudhuri, 1986–1991 Orissa. By 1828 enrolment of Amal Kumar Mukhopadhyay, 1991–1997 students steeply rose to 400. Nitai Charan Mukherjee, 1997–2000 The obvious question, that then Amitava Chatterjee, 2001–2005 arose, was whether it would not be wiser for the Government of Mamata Ray, 2005–2008 Bengal to establish a new Sanjib Ghosh, 2008–2010 'English College' open to all Amitava Chatterjee, 2010, classes and community of students. The Committee of Vice Chancellors of Presidency University Managers of Hindu College had soon after the inception of the Amita Chatterjee, 2010–2011 Malabika Sarkar, 2011–present en.wcikoipleldeiag.eor gb/weikci/oPrmeseid ednceyp_eUnidv eersnitty o,_nKolkata 4/17 10/23/12 college become dependent on Malabika Sarkar, 2011–present government subsidy, due to serious shortage of funds. The government had began to play a greater role in the administration of the College. By the middle of the 19th century the college had outgrown the plans made by its founders. Not only did it attract an ever-increasing number of scholars from the province and the rest of the Bengal Presidency, but it had also introduced courses in Law, Drawing, and Engineering, which catered to the needs of all classes of students - Hindus as well as non-Hindus. The government had also to consider whether this growing institution, spending a good deal of public money, could be retained as a non-governmental institution, particularly when Calcutta had no general college managed exclusively by the Council of Education. When other towns in Bengal had government colleges, it was felt in official and non-official circles that Calcutta should also have one.

  • Supermarkets in India: Struggles Over the Organization of Agricultural Markets and Food Supply Chains
    \\jciprod01\productn\M\MIA\68-1\MIA109.txt unknown Seq: 1 12-NOV-13 14:58 Supermarkets in India: Struggles over the Organization of Agricultural Markets and Food Supply Chains AMY J. COHEN* This article analyzes the conflicts and distributional effects of efforts to restructure food supply chains in India. Specifically, it examines how large retail corporations are presently attempting to transform how fresh produce is produced and distributed in the “new” India—and efforts by policymakers, farmers, and traders to resist these changes. It explores these conflicts in West Bengal, a state that has been especially hostile to supermarket chains. Via an ethnographic study of small pro- ducers, traders, corporate leaders, and policymakers in the state, the article illustrates what food systems, and the legal and extralegal rules that govern them, reveal about the organization of markets and the increasingly large-scale concentration of private capital taking place in India and elsewhere in the developing world.

  • Courses Taught at Both the Undergraduate and the Postgraduate Levels
    Jadavpur University Faculty of Arts Department of History SYLLABUS Preface The Department of History, Jadavpur University, was born in August 1956 because of the Special Importance Attached to History by the National Council of Education. The necessity for reconstructing the history of humankind with special reference to India‘s glorious past was highlighted by the National Council in keeping with the traditions of this organization. The subsequent history of the Department shows that this centre of historical studies has played an important role in many areas of historical knowledge and fundamental research. As one of the best centres of historical studies in the country, the Department updates and revises its syllabi at regular intervals. It was revised last in 2008 and is again being revised in 2011.The syllabi that feature in this booklet have been updated recently in keeping with the guidelines mentioned in the booklet circulated by the UGC on ‗Model Curriculum‘. The course contents of a number of papers at both the Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels have been restructured to incorporate recent developments - political and economic - of many regions or countries as well as the trends in recent historiography. To cite just a single instance, as part of this endeavour, the Department now offers new special papers like ‗Social History of Modern India‘ and ‗History of Science and Technology‘ at the Postgraduate level. The Department is the first in Eastern India and among the few in the country, to introduce a full-scale specialization on the ‗Social History of Science and Technology‘. The Department recently qualified for SAP.

    Prepared for submission to JHEP From 2d Droplets to 2d Yang-Mills Arghya Chattopadhyaya, Suvankar Duttab, Debangshu Mukherjeeb;c, Neetub aInstitute of Mathematical Sciences, Homi Bhaba National Institute (HBNI) IV Cross Road, Taramani, Chennai 600113, Tamil Nadu, India bIndian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal Bhopal Bypass, Bhopal 462066, India cIndian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram Vithura 695551, Kerala, India E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: We establish a connection between time evolution of free Fermi droplets and partition function of generalised q-deformed Yang-Mills theories on Riemann surfaces. Classical phases of (0 + 1) dimensional unitary matrix models can be characterised by free Fermi droplets in two dimensions. We quantise these droplets and find that the modes satisfy an abelian Kac-Moody algebra. The Hilbert spaces H+ and H− associated with the upper and lower free Fermi surfaces of a droplet admit a Young diagram basis in which the phase space Hamiltonian is diagonal with eigenvalue, in the large N limit, equal to the quadratic Casimir of u(N). We establish an exact mapping between states in H± and geometries of droplets. In particular, coherent states in H± correspond to classical deformation of upper and lower Fermi surfaces. We prove that correlation between two coherent states in H± is equal to the chiral and anti-chiral partition function of 2d Yang-Mills theory on a cylinder. Using the fact that the full Hilbert space H+ ⊗ H− admits a composite basis, we show that correlation between two classical droplet geometries is equal to the full U(N) Yang-Mills partition function on cylinder.
