===Prof. Anil Kumar Gayen: Founder===
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Anil Kumar Gain.png|thumbnail|right|[[Anil Kumar Gain]], founder of the University]] -->
Anil Kumar Gayen ({{lang-bn|অনীল কুমার গায়েন}}), [[Fellow of the Royal Society|FRS]] (1 February 1919 – 7 February 1978) was an [[Indian people|Indian]] [[mathematician]] and [[statistician]] best known for his works on the [[Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient]] in the field of [[applied statistics]], with his colleague [[Sir Ronald Fisher]]. He received his Ph.D. from the [[University of Cambridge]] under the supervision of [[Henry Ellis Daniels]], who was the president of the [[Royal Statistical Society]]. He was honoured as a [[Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society]] and the famous [[Cambridge Philosophical Society]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Founder of the University|url=http://vidyasagar.ac.in/About/AKGayen.aspx|website=Vidyasagar University}}</ref>
 
Gayen was the president of the Statistics section of the [[Indian Science Congress Association]], as well as the head of the Department of Mathematics at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur]]. He went on to found Vidyasagar University, naming it after the famous social reformer of the [[Bengali Renaissance]], [[Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Deceased Fellow|url=http://insaindia.org/deceaseddetail.php?id=N660257|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518090521/http://insaindia.org/deceaseddetail.php?id=N660257|url-status=dead|archive-date=2015-05-18|website=Indian National Science Academy}}</ref>
 
Gayen dedicated the later years of his life towards the establishment of Vidyasagar University as a non-traditional institution of higher education in the erstwhile Medinipur district of the West Bengal state in India.  Professor Anil Kumar Gayen’s vision was clearly reflected in the Vidyasagar University Act of 1981 wherein among others, it was stated that the "University shall have the power to make such academic studies as may contribute to the improvement of economic conditions and welfare of the people in general and the tribal people in particular" (Vidyasagar University Act 1981 amended in 1997 and 2011.)
 
The Ghani Committee appointed by the U.G.C. suggested, among others, setting up of a university in Midnapore on the ground of its ‘having a compact area and a manageable number of colleges’ (at that time there were 36 colleges with an enrolment of about 42,000), and of its ‘having the great advantage of co-operation of the IIT, Kharagpur. The committee was also of the opinion that the new University would develop on the lines suited to the needs of this backward area. The recognition of Gayen as the founder of Vidyasagar University was belated.<ref>https://www.academia.edu/4165122/Party_and_the_Campus</ref> After three decades of its establishment in the Seventh Executive Council meeting held on 04.05.2012 based on the proposal of a professor of Anthropology a committee was formed to honour the founder of the university.<ref>http://www.vidyasagar.ac.in/Downloads/ShowPdf.aspx?file=/ec/7ec2.pdf</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/2581992|title=A forgotten founder of a university".

===Establishment ===
===Establishment ===
Following the approval of UGC, the Government of West Bengal decided in 1978 to establish Vidyasagar University and, in consultation with the U.G.C., the State Government appointed a Planning Committee in March 1979 to lay down the lines of development and to take initial steps to found the university. The committee submitted its report in October. Then the Vidyasagar University Act, 1981 (West Bengal Act XVIII of 1981) was passed in the State Legislative Assembly. Professor Bhupesh Chandra Mukherjee, a former teacher of History of the then Presidency College, Kolkata, joined as the first vice chancellor on 29 September 1981. Professor B.C. Mukherjee wrote an article in the ''Journal of Higher Education''(published by the UGC) in which he stated the mission and objectives of Vidyasagar University and mentioned the name of the founder of VU—Professor Anil Kumar Gain.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/6896647|title=Journal of Higher Education, vol. 13, nos.1-3, 1987-88|first=Abhijit |last=Guha}}</ref>

Vidyasagar University is a public state research university that was established by an Act of the West Bengal legislature which was notified in the Calcutta Gazette on 24 June 1981.[4] It is an affiliating university in Paschim Medinipur district of southern West Bengal, India.[5] It offers courses at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

It was founded by the University of Cambridge mathematician and statistician Anil Kumar Gain.[6][7]

History[edit | edit source]

The university was established on 29 September 1981 by the Vidyasagar University Act 1981 (West Bengal Act XVIII of 1981) of the state of West Bengal to commemorate Pandit Iswar Chandra Bandyopadhyay, also known as Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, an educationist and social worker of 19th century Bengal. The University Grants Commission accorded recognition to the university under Section 12 B on 1 March 1990.[8]

A short history of Vidyasagar University is written by a faculty of the Anthropology Department in Bengali which was published in January 2001 from Kolkata. In this book the author being one of the founder teachers of the university narrated the missions of the institution as well as the deviations and the future possibilities in the context of globalisation.[9]

Establishment[edit | edit source]

Following the approval of UGC, the Government of West Bengal decided in 1978 to establish Vidyasagar University and, in consultation with the U.G.C., the State Government appointed a Planning Committee in March 1979 to lay down the lines of development and to take initial steps to found the university. The committee submitted its report in October. Then the Vidyasagar University Act, 1981 (West Bengal Act XVIII of 1981) was passed in the State Legislative Assembly. Professor Bhupesh Chandra Mukherjee, a former teacher of History of the then Presidency College, Kolkata, joined as the first vice chancellor on 29 September 1981. Professor B.C. Mukherjee wrote an article in the Journal of Higher Education(published by the UGC) in which he stated the mission and objectives of Vidyasagar University and mentioned the name of the founder of VU—Professor Anil Kumar Gain.[10]

Academic activities started when through a notification [no. 983-Edn (U), dated Calcutta 23 May] issued by the State Government, 30 colleges of the District of Midnapore were affiliated to the Vidyasagar University with effect from 1 June 1985. The foundation stone of the main campus (at Tantigaria mouza of Midnapore Sadar Town for post graduate teaching and central administration) was laid on 18 July 1983 by the university's chancellor and West Bengal governor B.D. Pande. On 15 January 1986, it was inaugurated by Jyoti Basu, the then chief minister of West Bengal.[citation needed]

On 16 January classes commenced in six post graduate departments: Anthropology, Applied Mathematics with Oceanology and Computer Programming, Commerce with Farm Management, Economics with Rural Development, Library and Information Science, Political Science with Rural Administration.[citation needed]

The U.G.C. accorded recognition to the university in terms of Section 12B of the U.G.C. Act, on 1 March 1990. The university houses 27 PG departments (apart from MBA which is run under the Department of Commerce with Farm Management), 12 in Humanities and 15 in Science while 46 undergraduate colleges apart from 11 courses in yet 11 other colleges / institutes are affiliated to it. Fourteen vocational subjects and six other specialised courses are offered at the UG level. The overall emphasis of the university is not to perpetuate the traditional nature of the other universities of West Bengal but to merge as a distinctive entity with a special nature of its own. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) awarded Vidyasagar University a three-star status.[citation needed]

  • Third plot: 43.97 acres (177,900 m2)[11] The third plotwhich was given by the district administration was taken back since the university could not use it for its purpose.[12]

Admission[edit | edit source]

For research level programs, the aspirants have to sit for a qualifying test (RET) followed by an interview. It is mandatory that they secure at least 55% marks in their post graduate level examination.

If the aspirants qualify the all India examination like NET, GATE, SET then their admission in Ph.D is only based on interview.

Candidates pursuing distance learning courses are provided with study materials in modules on topics prescribed in the syllabus. The Directorate of Distance Education organises the Personal Contact Programme (PCP) for interaction with leading academic experts in the subjects who give counselling and advice rather than classroom lectures. PCPs are held ordinarily during Summer Recess, Puja Recess and Winter Recess and on holidays. Courses of distance education in the university are approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Distance Education Council.[18][19]
