Although Netaji was not around when independent India embarked on its five-year plans in the 1950s, it is obvious that the work of the Planning Committee he co-founded had been the pathfinder.

On 1st. of July Dhaka University celebrated its 100th anniversary. As the country along with rest of world is going through a devastating pandemic, killing thousands of people, the Centenary Celebration was a bit lacklustre and token excepting few alumni publishing some commentaries in some national dailies and a handful coming to talk on TV and arranging few webinars. The Vice-chancellor and his colleagues also planted few saplings to mark this historic occasion. One hundred years of existence of a university in a country like Bangladesh is definitely an occasion to be proud of. For my generation it is more so because as a student we could also experience Golden Jubilee of the University in 1971 but as the country was inching towards the Liberation War there wasn’t much scope for any celebration, excepting DUCSU publishing a twelve page tabloid sized bulletin. There were few seminars at TSC.

Syama Prasad Mookerjee
Snapshot
In a sense, much that needs to be done urgently in the aspect of higher education can be taken directly from Dr. Mookerjeeâs actions 85 years ago.
Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee (1901-1953) is very well known as the person who founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in 1951 but what is not so well appreciated are his contributions as an academic, especially in the context of the development and growth of science and technology in modern India.
Syama Prasad Mookerjee was truly a multi-faceted personality, who in his short life span, was deeply involved in an entire gamut of activities that bridged culture, academics, politics and administration.
