About the Cell

INTRODUCTION

The Asutosh College Publication Cell was established in April, 2013, the year of the 150th Birth Anniversary of the college Founder-President, Sir Asutosh Mukherjee, which was celebrated by students and staff of the College in an appropriately grand fashion. Plans for setting up a Publication unit had been mooted earlier, but the journey began with the successful publication of Asutosh: Vidyar Sarathi, in June, 2014, a commemorative volume on the life and times of Sir Asutosh.
