Early life and education[edit | edit source]
Dipankar Bhattacharya was born in Guwahati, Assam in December 1960.[citation needed] His father was Baidyanath Bhattacharya who was an employee of the Indian Railways.[7] He studied in Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya, Narendrapur near Kolkata and was the top ranker of the 1979 board examination of the West Bengal Higher Secondary board.[6] After completing his higher secondary, he joined the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.[7] He graduated with a Bachelor of Statistics (B.Stat.) degree in 1982 and completed his post-graduation with a Master of Statistics (M.Stat.) degree in 1984.[5]
Political views[edit | edit source]
Bhattacharya states that a large section of the population is rendered invisible in the country and that only a tiny minority holds the reins of political power and benefits from economic progress. He holds the view that economic growth in India has not coincided with the empowerment of people and defines empowerment as material questions such as employment, education, housing and hygiene, that the policies of privatisation and commercialisation of healthcare and education are contradictory to the vision of an empowered India promoting further dis-empowerment.[8]
Political career[edit | edit source]
Dipankar Bhattacharya became involved in political work during his course in the Indian Statistical Institute.[7] He served as the general secretary of the Indian People's Front between 1982 and 1994[9] and later became the general secretary of the All India Central Council of Trade Unions. In December 1987, he was elected to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation. After the demise of Vinod Mishra who was the general secretary of the party, Bhattacharya was unanimously elected to the post.[6]
