Presidency University:
It's a welcome development for Presidency University that Chief minister Mamata Banerjee has decided to appoint Nobel Laureate Dr.Amartya Sen as Mentor of the university and Prof.Sugato Bose as the Chairperson of the Committee to be formed for the betterment of the varsity. They'd select the other members of the committee.Govt would in no way interfere in the process of selection, Chief minister has claimed. The chairperson-to-be Prof.Sugato Bose is now Gardiner Professor Of Oceanic History and Affairs at Harvard University.Incidentally,Prof.Bose is the son of former Trinomool MP Krishna Bose.If in reality no political influence is exercised as promised and the committee formed be allowed to act freely and fairly, it won't be difficult for the committee to recruit teachers and staff as well strictly on merit. Then Presidency University would perhaps stand out as a Center of Excellence. Let us hope for the best.
