Education in West Bengal

Kolkata has played a pioneering role in the development of the modern education system in India.Sir William Jones (philologist) established the Asiatic Society in 1784 for promoting oriental studies.People like Ram Mohan Roy, David Hare, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Shashi Bhusan Chatterjee, and William Carey played a leading role in the setting up of modern schools and colleges in the city.John Bethune established a school for Indian girls in 1850 at a time when women's education was frowned upon in the society.Today it is amongst the largest multidisciplinary universities of India and offers some of the widest number of academic disciplines for study.Kadambini went on to become the first female physician trained in the Western system of medicine in South Asia.In 1960 the Regional Engineering college (presently National Institute of Technology) at Durgapur was set up.Upon completing the required coursework, students may enrol in general or professional degree programs.
