Revival Plans for Presidency Discussed
25 July 2011
The university's mentor group met West Bengal CM to talk about the need to form a faculty search committee for the university
The Presidency University mentor group Saturday met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to talk about the need to form a search committee to bring in world-class faculty for the revival of the institution.
Presidency Mentor group Chairman Sugato Bose said the group will submit its first report in August.
Banerjee assured us that the government will act on the report promptly, he said.
Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen is the adviser to Bose, the grand-nephew of freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
Established in 1817 as Hindu College, the institution cradled the 19th century Bengal Renaissance and was christened Presidency College in 1855. It was upgraded as a university last year.
