A seminar on ‘Publishing Course: Future Prospects” was organized on January 27 2006, under the aegis of the Post-graduate Diploma in Book Publishing course of the University of Calcutta. Speaking on the occasion, Jayanta Bagchi recounted he history of publishing in Bengal.
Dr. Soumendra Nath Bera elucidated how in the scenario of new challenges, a well-structured, institutionalized course like this is needed to impart necessary professionalism. While Dr. Bera thanked the publishers for being part of the course, Mukul Guha asked the publishers to read the market well and work accordingly in order to survive the test of time.
As Samir Goswami pointed to the importance of packaging in the present publishing business, Abhijit Bhowmick advised the existing and budding publishers to improve at the levels of content development, publicity, public relations and copyright. Hailing the course as an initiator of a movement for books, Debasish Chakraborty made an open appeal to protect civilization and ideas.
