Sub: Transformation of Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU),

Shibpur to Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur

– pending since 2007-08, the beginning of the Eleventh Plan

Dear Sir:

We, the alumni/alumnae, students, faculty, staffs, administrators and well-wishers

of Bengal Engineering & Science University (erstwhile BEC/BECDU), a 157-year

old institution of international repute and 2nd oldest engineering college in India,

would like to draw your kind attention to the issue of transformation of this institute.

Please note that BESU, in 2005, was one of the seven institutes short-listed by the

Joshi Committee and then recommended by the Anandakrishnan Committee (both

MHRD-appointed) for transforming it to an IIT-type institution in the form of an

Indian Institutes of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST). Anandakrishnan

committee chose five of those institutes and put BESU at the top, while putting IT-

BHU in the second place for the transformation.

Your Cabinet, in its meeting held on 12th October, 2010, approved the proposal of

the Ministry of Human Resources Development to take over Bengal Engineering

and Science University (BESU), Shibpur after its transformation to Indian Institute

of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur with an announcement of

five years’ expenditure plan for non–recurring and recurring expenses.

After a long delay, on March 4, 2013, The National Institutes of Technology,

Science Education and Research (NITSER) Amendment Bill, 2013 (No. 30 of

2013), through which the transformation of BESU, Shibpur into IIEST, Shibpur has

been proposed, was introduced in the Lok Sabha. In spite of being listed for

consideration on several occasions during the budget session, the bill,

unfortunately, was not taken up for discussion and approval, while BHU has

already been transformed to an IIT in 2012.

We found out from the official website of Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha that Hon’ble

Speaker referred the Bill to the HRD Standing Committee on 17th May 2013

despite unanimous support for the Bill. The aforesaid Standing Committee had

been asked to examine the Bill and report within a period of three months i.e. by

16th August. Although, the schedule slipped due to the resignation of previous

chairman, we now understand that the HRD Standing Committee will be meeting

on 17th of September under the new Chairman, Shri Birender Singh.

We believe it has been quite unfair to BESU (the top choice of the Anandakrishnan

Committee) in unnecessarily dragging its transformation from the beginning of the

Eleventh Plan i.e. 2007-08 while BHU, the second choice, has been transformed to

an IIT some time back. To bring attention to this injustice, faculty and students of

this institution have again started to publicize its cause.

Under these circumstances, we request your kind attention and active support in

getting the NITSER Amendment bill passed in the Winter Session of the

Parliament so that BESU gets its long-deserved status of an IIEST. This

transformation is urgently needed not only for retaining the meaningful existence of

this institution but also to train students in engineering research and teaching to

meet India’s growing demand in the 21st century as envisaged by the

Anandakrishnan Commission. We request you to take necessary steps to get

(NITSER) Amendment Bill, 2013 (No. 30 of 2013) passed in the coming session

and remedy the injustice done to our institute. We are depending on you.

Thanks and with best regards,

Subsequently I did my M.Tech. and Ph.d. in Civil Engg. from IIT, KGP. This

institute is only one younger than IIT (Roorkee). I am well aware of its immense

contribution towards devloment of engg. education for the past 156 years both

at under-graduate and post -graduate level and the service rendered at

National and International level. l strongly feel that it deserves INI status of

Tarun Kumar Mondal Mumbai, India 2013-08-19 Respected PM,

Please take seps toward paasing this bill. How many more years are require to

transform BESU, Shibpur to IIEST? Yes we know that this transformation will

not give any political benifit but it is require for Nation Development. So please

take this bill for passing on the ongoing monsoon session.

POULOMI ROY Shibpur, India 2013-08-19 It will be genuinely beneficial for all the BEings of BESUS if transformed into

IIEST, Shibpur

Dipankar Basu India 2013-08-19 Being an ex-teacher of this Institute, I felt the heritage and tradition in every bit

of this campus. Its a painfully long wait. The conversion should not be delayed

any more.

Subrata Bej India 2013-08-19 I'm an alumni of BESU and I believe,with proper infrastructure, BESU can be

one of the best institutes in India.

Soumen Mukherjee India 2013-08-19 The much-awaited as well as the much-deserved status of IIEST has been

delayed for years. It is high time that my Alma mater becomes an institute of

national importance.

Navin Kumar India 2013-08-19 Transformation is extremely needed for the further recognition of this premier

institute.

POULOMI ROY Shibpur, India 2013-08-19 Its enough long pending now. Need the tag IIEST, Shibpur (under Govt of India)

instead f BESU, Shibpur permanently. All the BEings need this transformation

immediately for the welfare of the whole university. BESU deserves the

authority from Central Govt. of India.

Saibal Gangopadhyay India 2013-08-19 Being in Engineering Industry for the last 32 years after becoming alumni of the

2nd oldest engineering institution of our country , the transformation of BESU to

IIEST , is the need of the hour if we honestly desire to see India prospering in

the future.

Indranil Saha India 2013-08-19 This Institute has been contributing to the country's progress through its brilliant

alumni and quality engineering teaching for more than 150 years. The

university is in dire need of the IIEST recognition to move to the next level of

excellence and maintain its appropriate status in the academia. My earnest

request to please grant the rightful recognition to this seat of academic

excellence.

Soumajyoti Sarkar India 2013-08-19 Being a student of this university, I find myself responsible to support the

ongoing "sit-in demonstration".

Parag datta Siliguri, India 2013-08-19 To meet the global demands of 21st century in Sc and tech

BARUNDEV LAHIRI India 2013-08-19 I have graduated from this institution long back in 1982. This college is the

oldest Engineering degree college in India. This college is neglected and was

always under political influence of local state government. So quality of

education is never stable. It is now far from his glorious state due to shortage of

faculty by quality and quantity, shortage of fund for taking up research work and

necessary updated equipment. So it needs fund and an independant non

political, and quality administration and infrastructure to claim back it's past

glory.

Gaurab Patra India 2013-08-19 The transformation is not only required for BESU to reach to its deserved

position which it has been deprived of for last 156 years, but also it is very

much important for the country's future. Because it is a proven fact that no

country can sustain in 21st century without putting in enough effort behind

collaborative research where people from all the field (Engineering, Science,

Literature, Economics etc) can engage themselves together for enhancing the

research work in the country.


Anirban Sarkar India 2013-08-19 BESU is my almamater and whatever i have achieved til date it's because of

BESU. It is one of the most prestigious institutions in India. But to grow this

institute it needs fund and the funds will come if it becomes IIEST. BESU has

given a lot to India and now it's India's turn to pay it back.

Md Zeeshan Ashraf India 2013-08-19 This BEC (BESU ) , 2nd oldest engineering college of India have given a lot of

amazing and notable alumnus and astonishing possessions to India and still

giving outstanding performance towards science & research and helped India

to grow and to stand proud in the world... The transformation of BESU to IIEST

will definitely change the society and country remarkably.

Shiladitya Sen India 2013-08-19 I'm a student of BESU, Shibpur and I believe that the transformation to IIEST,

Shibpur is a very necessary step that should be taken by the government. An

institute with such heritage and recognition deserves to be an Institute of

National Importance so that it may maintain providing the necessary

atmosphere and infrastructure required for training engineers for enhancing our

nation's technology.

Santanu Sardar India 2013-08-19 The appeal letter is self-explanatory.

Sourav Kundu India 2013-08-19 The appeal letter is self- explanatory.

Subhasish Kundu India 2013-08-19 I am a student of BESU. It is the second oldest engineering college of India. It

has a great heritage and alumni of this institution have been contributing to the

field of engineering successfully. It has been a premier enginerring institute of

India. Central Govt. has declared long back in 2010 to give it the status of a

Central Govt. institute (Institute of National Importance). But due to the delay,

institute is suffering from fund crunch.

Ayan Ghosh Calcutta, India 2013-08-19 The apathy and neglect with which the Government of India has been treating

BESU for the past 10 years is quite appalling. In fact we were in college when

this entire movement began and I guess its not a surprise why the plight of

higher education in India has been in tatters. As somebody pointed out, BESU

has been the framework for many IIT's with many of our alumni working as

faculties and in the administration of these IIT's. I would go ahead and say that

BESU boasts of a brand and quality comparable to the seven older IIT's and

unmatchable to the new IIT's. I don't understand the point of running ad

campaigns for opening up new IIT's while treating great institutions like BESU

(which can easily be upgraded to an IIT) with mockery and contempt. After all

GOI should realize that, even after being converted to an IIEST (as these

would be relatively unbranded), a lot would have to be done in branding them

at par with the IIT's, NIT's and IISER's, and if the first step itself takes so long,

the pertinent question to be asked from the GOI is, what can we expect in the

long run. Would request the supporters of the movement to build on the

requisite administrative pressures to get this bill out of the standing committee,

pass it through the ordinance route and pass it in the parliament in the winter

session probably, if not now. I know its easier said than done and everything

that's possible is being done. Lastly would like to add that, am really thankful to

all my teachers of BESUTA, students and alumni who are taking this campaign

forward and have been directly been associated with the movement. Cheers,

Ayan (Mech, 2002-06).

Kalyan Sircar St Petersburg, FL 2013-08-19 This is my alma mater.

educational excellence and advancement of technological growth.

DIPAK CHAKRABARTY India 2013-08-19 I am 1976 pass out. I observe that in no way we are inferior to the other elite

engineering colleges of India and in many of these colleges Professors are also

graduated from our institute.

Besides our country on the international level also the students of our college

has contributed successfully.

There is no reason why our college should not be upgraded as recommended

by Anandakrishnan Commission.

SUJOY KUMAR SAHA India 2013-08-19 COnverstion of BESU to IIEST is the only way to make it a leading institute of

the world.

MALAY NIYOGI India 2013-08-19 There are still lot of gaps in basic infrastructures in BESU, as compared to

other premier Institutes, which are essential for a 1st line Institute of the

Country and also to compete at International level, we need to have enough

facilities for research & developments areas apart from industry focus where

sufficient fund is a prime need. I believe, all these requirements can be fulfilled

by transformation of BESU to IIEST is essential which is long overdue also. So,

let's get it immediately!

Prosenjit Chakraborty India 2013-08-19 BECollege (BESU today) was the second oldest engineering institution in India.

With Roorki & BHU already converted to IIT, BESU must be made equivalent or

better, just to keep it's significant identity.

Abes Naskar India 2013-08-19 This is 157 years old engineering college, and a pride of our country. still we

a state university to an IIEST.

Debagnick Ghosh India 2013-08-19 Its sad to see that the transformation of an institute of such heritage like BESU

has been pending for so long. This procrastinate response from the

government needs to change for the greater good. BESU has immense

potential of being an unparalleled institution of its kind. It deserves this honour

after the service it has been providing to the nation.

Debu Chaudhuri Paramus, NJ 2013-08-19 One of the oldest and best Indian institution but neglected. Save this old

institution's quality at any cost. Status and money are extremely important due

to high cost of engineering lab, research work and study. Recently I visited

college campus, I am pleased to see bright young students. But we will fail if

our system don't provide college with proper finance and status.

Jyoti Mazumder Ann Arbor, MI 2013-08-19 1) One of the oldest Engineering School in India produced engineering talents

for more than 150 yrs.

2) Many of the directors of IITs and their faculty members are trained in BESU.

3) Prudent investment from the central government in higher education

compared to all new IIT being started from the scratch.BESU already have a

great history in teaching and education.

4) Enhanced resources will enable BESU to excel and make national and

international impact.

5) Last but not the least is my personal attachment to the institution due my

family's association with BESU for almost a century.

it's people in various forms. Therefore, I shall be very proud provided it

achieves the IIEST status. I am confident that it will compete many world class

institutions after its proper transformation.


Debroop Sengupta India 2013-08-19 It is a long wait for a national status for India's one of the oldest and the most

deserving Institute- my alma mater. Justice delayed isn't actually justice denied.

It's gross injustice in some cases.

Sandip Rudra India 2013-08-19 Since it is IMPORTANT for the country.

nandini mukhopadhyay New Delhi, India 2013-08-19 Besus is a very prestigious institution in India , Its Alumnus are wide spread in

the world . Despite all problematic situation it is successful to keep its standard

on high esteem. This is certainly one of the best engineering and science

institute in India and equivalent to any IIT. There fore Government's delay in

transforming the institute into IIEST is very very unjustified..

Shreyasee De India 2013-08-19 an institution that has given so much to this nation deserves this.Since it has

been recommended by commitees appointed by the Government of India,i see

no reson why this transformation should not be carried out as soon as possible.

works of the research scholars workiing in this institute.Moreover this is an

institute with enough reputation in the field of technological studies and

research in science. It should be given the so cherished tag of IIEST. It

deserves this.

ABHISHEK DAS New Delhi, India 2013-08-19 The development of India by transportation by industrial by academic .... almost

in every engineering mile stone in India there is a hand of engineers from

BESU..its the oldest engineering collage in India . The govt. should make the

institute the 1st IIT in India. After so many years we are expecting but the govt

is silent in this matter. WHY?


Subhajit Chatterjee Calcutta, India 2013-08-19 Being a BESU,Shibpur it is obvious i would like to see my univeristy get this

long deserved upgradation to an institute of national importance.

SAYAN MITRA Shibpur, India 2013-08-20 it's not about seeking benefits but the just reason for making this petition

Sayantan Pandit India 2013-08-20 Because University is deserved to get that place and I need to raise my voice

for this for fast implementation. I will continue to support till BESU becomes

IIEST.

Satyaki Bhattacharjee Notre Dame, IN 2013-08-20 Even if we forget about the past glory, still I believe BESU is counted as one of

the premier institutes. Not only that, comparing with other academic

excellences across the country, till date BESU's per capita product is definitely

at the top (Though during the stay @besu, I learnt not to compare.... I am

begging pardon to my professors).

I believe, India doesn't have proper post-graduate schools other than few like

IISc, TIFR, maybe three-four IITs can be included. BESU was a pioneer in

graduate studies in engineering in India. No idea, how this institute suffered

from funding. One center of excellence cannot be built by depriving an

established one. I think, our government thinks that the value of the institute

depreciates as it grows old. It is also possible, they don't believe in evolution

theory. Anyway, my points are:

1.This institute journyed a long way and handeled many situations very smartly.

Even knows how to run a system with lowest co-operation of the goverment

(never lowering quality). I think institute evolved in a right direction (Though I

have no idea what our education-managers think....). And BESU deserves to

recieve more funding and right status.

2. BESU has immense potential to enrich post-graduate education of the

country and become world leader in tecnology. For that our government needs

to be positive enough towards conversion of BESU to IIEST.

PRABAL CHOUDHURY Toronto, Canada 2013-08-20 AS A PERSON OF INDIAN ORIGIN, I WANT BESU SIBPORE TO BE AN

Jhareswar Maiti Kharagpur, India 2013-08-20 A prestigious institute with more than 150 years of existence and meaningful

service to the nation building must be elevated to a national institute called

IIEST. It is needed from three counts: (i) adequate funding, (ii) pioneering

research, and (iii) augmentation of teaching and laboratory facilities. In

addition, to attract better faculty and students across India, the national tag is

important.

Prantik Jana India 2013-08-20 To see that an age old solid Technical Institution revive its past glory


Himadri Singha India 2013-08-20 BESU is serving the nation since 1856 with its high quality students. Atleast 3

IITs have directors who are alma mater of BESU. Thus this long pending

transformation to IIEST Shibpore is well-deserved and seeks attention from

GoI.

Pinku Ghosh India 2013-08-20 The contribution of Shibpur B.E.College in the history of Indian Higher

Technical Education is more than remarkable .In the national and global

scenario, not only the alumni and alumnae produced by it brought laurels in

their respective fields, but also the teaching professionals or the so called the

doyens in the engineering educational and their contribution were/are marked

as reputed, recognized, unparallel and sometimes ‘the best’. By giving the

IIEST status to it is not just doing a favour or admit & accept its contribution but

to lift it up to a level of recognized international standard, which is not for the

interest of Bengal solely but for the interest of India in true sense.

Subrata Mahata India 2013-08-20 1) The transformation is long pending.

2) As it is recommended for IIEST by MHED, the college is not getting fund

modern facilities and competent staff. And that improvement can be realized if

the Central Government appreciates the sterling role played by our institution

and students so far and help our aspiration for further development. We, the ex

It is clearly inevitable and important to upgrade it to IIEST because of its last

157 years of glory not only in the field of academic excellence but also

in the form of making great engineers to serve this nation.

Abhishek Manna India 2013-08-20 I'm a research scholar of BESU, Shibpur and I believe that the transformation

Susobhan Ghosh Bellaire, TX 2013-08-20 IIIEST is a well thought proposal to enhance engineering education in India.

India needs more engineers with higher academic/ research skill. Institutions

with the concept of IIEST will help in filling up the void. India needs to produce

more Ph.D.'s in engineering and Science and this will lead India to be a

developed country. BESU is one of the oldest engineering school, and made

India proud for the quality of graduates passing out of the institutions. It is time

that Govt. of India takes immediate action to convert BESU to the first IIEST in

India.

Arunava Pal India 2013-08-20 I think research Infrastructure is the main thing for a institute. Being a research

DULAL GOLDAR India 2013-08-20 BESU is my university where I got my first degree in B.E.Civil Engineering

HARSH BHANDARI India 2013-08-20 An Institute with idyllic beauty, with such heritage has produced many eminent

personalities who have served the nation imparting high quality education

deserves the status of Institute of National Importance. Even after a hiatus of

10 years, it is still waiting for the recognition which it should have got earlier.

Enhancement of the status of Institute would literally help the Institute to serve

the nation in the field of R&D in enhancing nation's technology. I implore the

Govt. of India to take the immediate step by granting the pertinent recognition

to the Institute of excellence.

Dr. Debabrata Kar Kolkata, India 2013-08-20 I full heartedfull support it.

opportunities..this is seriously needed

Arka Mandal India 2013-08-20 the institution simply deserves to be of national importance, what else reason

does it need?

Ayan Basu Bangalore, India 2013-08-20 Hi, during my 11-12 years of work-experience I have noticed the general

intelligence of BEC guys are definitely above average, rather I should say they

have the confidence to at least compete with any level of colleges in

India/abroad. But RECOGNITION is definitely important.


HARSH BHANDARI India 2013-08-20 BESU, one of the oldest institute of the nation has produced some of the

exemplary jewels who have served the nation throughout their life. The time

has come when the institute should be awarded the status of INI so that it can

constaneous serve the nation and could utilize the resources to excel in R&D,

Science and Technology. I implore you to kindly grant the august institute with

such heritage, the worthwhile status which it deserves.

Bijan Kumar Mandal India 2013-08-20 I heard that the planning of first IIT (IIT.Kharagpur) was done here. Many of the

teachers shifted from here to IIT, KGP. Now, it should be immediately upgraded

Dr. Asok Mukherjee Erlangen, Germany 2013-08-20 Because BEC deserves support from all ex-alumnis.

Dr.Rudra Sarkar India 2013-08-20 It is utterly annoying and surprising that this bill has not been passed yet. When

I had joined the institute in 2006 as a M.Sc student I hoped that it would

become another IIT by the end of 2008. But since then 5 yrs have gone by but

very little has happened in this regard. In between this time this institute has

given many M.Sc students who like me have completed or are pursuing Ph.D

from IISc, IIT, IISER, NISER. It beyond doubt that provided this Institute

becomes IIEST it will enjoy good funding which is the primary the requirement

for advancement of an institute. Hopefully our dream will be fulfilled soon.

Sub: Transformation of Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU), Shibpur to Indian Institute of

Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur – pending since 2007-08, the beginning of the

Eleventh Plan

Dear Sir,

We, the alumni/alumnae, students, faculty, staffs, administrators and well-wishers of Bengal Engineering

& Science University (erstwhile BEC/BECDU), a 157-year old institution of international repute and 2nd

oldest engineering college in India, would like to draw your kind attention to the issue of transformation of

this institute. Please note that this institute, in 2005, was short-listed by the Joshi Committee and then

recommended by the Anandakrishnan Committee (both MHRD-appointed) for transformation to the level

of IIT in the form of an Indian Institutes of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST). While

Anandakrishnan committee put BESU at the top, IT-BHU was the second choice for this transformation.

Your Cabinet, in its meeting held on 12th October, 2010, approved the proposal of the Ministry of Human

Resources Development to take over Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU), Shibpur after

its transformation to Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur with an

announcement of five years’ expenditure plan for non–recurring and recurring expenses.

After a long delay, on March 4, 2013, The National Institutes of Technology, Science Education and

Research (NITSER) Amendment Bill, 2013 (No. 30 of 2013), through which the transformation of BESU,

Shibpur into IIEST, Shibpur has been proposed, was introduced in the Lok Sabha. In spite of being listed

for consideration on several occasions during the budget session, the bill, unfortunately, was not taken up

for discussion and approval, while BHU has already been transformed to an IIT in 2012.

We found out from the official website of Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha that Hon’ble Speaker has referred the

Bill to the HRD Standing Committee on 17th May 2013 despite unanimous support for the Bill. The

aforesaid Standing Committee has been asked to examine the Bill and make report therein within a period

of three months i.e. by 16th August, 2013. We are surprised to note that since Hon’ble Oscar Fernandes

left the position of the Chairperson of the Standing Committee, there is no one to hold any meetings in the

last three months.

We believe it is quite unfair in unnecessarily dragging the transformation of BESU (the top choice of

Anandakrishnan Committee) to IIEST from the beginning of the Eleventh Plan i.e. 2007-08 while

transforming BHU, the second choice, to an IIT. In order to bring attention to this injustice to the second

oldest technical institute in India, faculty and students are forced to organize protests like “Sit-in-

Demonstration” without disrupting any academic activities. We can’t predict the extent of protests to be

followed by all the stake holders of this institute in particular and people of West Bengal in general to

remedy this continued injustice by Govt. of India to this institute, that has contributed most for the

advancement of engineering education in India and towards the development of India for the last 157

years.

Under these circumstances, we request your kind attention and active support in getting the NITSER

Amendment bill passed in the on-going Monsoon Session of the Parliament so that BESU gets its long-

deserved status of an IIEST. This transformation is urgently needed not only for retaining the meaningful

existence of this institution but also to prepare students in engineering research and teaching to meet

India’s growing demand in the 21st century as envisaged by the Anandakrishnan Commission. We

request you to take necessary steps to get (NITSER) Amendment Bill, 2013 (No. 30 of 2013) passed in

this session and remedy the injustice done to our institute. We are depending on you.

Thanks and with best regards,

Undersigned

Sincerely,

[Your name]

sincerely hope that the recipient of this letter, H’ble Prime Minister of India, may

please feel the sentiment from the bottom of his heart, produced from the urge

of people of this part of India as well as from other parts of the globe. The

transformation not only lifts up the status but also it will be a mark of salutation

to its age-old pride that was built up not in a day but with whole-hearted

dedication of so many engineers who saw it as their paradise of engineering

research. Awaiting the conversion without much delay really!Why is this

rightfully earned.

of above mentioned committee, namely BHU, being transformed to an IIT

distinctly unfair. It is only right to rectify this unfairness by giving BESU what it

deserves best, and to paraphrase a fellow petitioner, by giving it a brand new

shining armour.

Anirban Sen India 2013-08-24 BESU is a nationally reputed institute that has the callibre to nurture innovative

Being a student of this institute, I feel that after much dilly-dallying, now it's time

to act on this issue.

an excellent engineering college. It is now a better institution and should be

regarded a top most institution imparting engineering education.

Yajnabalkya Sinha India 2013-08-24 coz BESU, Shibpur; i.e; our college deserves to be at least an IIESt, if not an

IIT --- it is the 2nd oldest engg. college of the nation & ranked among the top

15-20 in the nation & most importantly, this will serve a huge purpose for the

budding & wannabe engineers & technologists of the eastern region, we've

gotta keep in mind that da population in eastern India has gone through the

roof & colleges lyk IIT-Kgp, ISM-Dhanbad, NIT-Durgapur, NIT-Jamshedpur, IIT-

Patna, IIT-Bhuvaneshwar, NIT-Rourkela etc. these colleges 've limited no. of

seats & they r unable to cope-up with the skyrocketing population in this part of

engineering, especially in National/Central Engineering Colleges!!!

SOUVIK MAITY India 2013-08-25 For a University which has been the second longest serving institution, which

has produced eminent and talented engineers in various fields, not being given

a National Status is not only an insult to the University, but also to the

Education system, to the teaching fraternity and most importantly to the

students who have slogged hard to make it their second home for years. IIEST

has to come and must come.

Oliva Biswas Calcutta, India 2013-08-25 The IIEST tag is very important for us as we are the 2014 passing batch.. and

ANANYABRATA GHOSH Kolkata, India 2013-08-26 justice to academics

BHUTAN GHOSH Kolkata, India 2013-08-26 justice

Asim Roy Phoenix, AZ 2013-08-26 At one point in time, prior to independence, BE College was on the verge of

being shut down by the British in favor of Dacca Engineering College. At that

time, my great granduncle, Surendra Nath Roy, who was then the Deputy

Speaker of the Bengal Legislative Assembly, fought back single-handedly to

prevent that move. His speech to the Legislative Assembly can be found in the

Assembly records. And BE College was not closed down and it became one of

the finest engineering institutions of India.

It’s time for this great institution to make greater contributions to the growth of

India. And with pressure on India to produce world class institutions that can

compete globally in research, BESU would be an ideal investment for the

Central government.
