The University of Calcutta (CU) colourfully celebrated its post-centenary golden jubilee on Tuesday, January 24 2006 at the University Centenary Auditorium of Asutosh Siksha Prangan, College Street. Unveiling the proposed model of the CU technology campus at Salt Lake, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said that there should be more stress on human utility research. Referring to the University as the first modern university in the sub-continent, the CM guarded against globalization sweeping through the institution’s task of nation-building.
Emphasizing on the uniqueness of the University, West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi highlighted the need for a flexible choice of subjects and right conduction of project fundings and campus placements.
Among other dignitaries gracing the occasion were Kolkata Mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, CU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Asis Kumar Banerjee, and West Bengal Higher Education Minister Satya Sadhan Chakraborty.
The inaugural session was preceded by four processions, from Bethune College, Rajabazar Science College, Moulali Crossing and Moulana Azad College converging at the College Street campus, followed by a vivacious song-n’-dance medley by Calcutta Choir.
