Home to four Nobel laureates - Ronald Ross, Rabindranath Tagore, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen, Calcutta is the nerve centre of intellect and human values, where many modern movements began in art, cinema and theatre, science and industry. India’s quest for freedom began here.
Calcutta is the home of the Bengalis Bhadralok (Gentleman) - volatile in politics, sports lover, intellectual, romantic with a unique sensibility. To whom every activity is a commitment of passionate intensity - be it a religious festival, soccer matches, political demonstrations, music, art, poetry reading, eating.
Education in Bengal is prized and valued. Presidency College was the first institution for higher education in India. Jadavpur University is relatively new, while Shanti Niketan, deemed an International University today, was founded by Rabindranath Tagore as an open-air school where he wanted the East and the West to meet.
Kolkata's schools are either run by the state government or by private (many of which are religious) organisations. Kolkata has nine universities; numerous colleges are affiliated to these nine or to other universities located outside of Kolkata. The University of Calcutta (founded in 1857) has more than 200 affiliated colleges. Some institutions of national importance are the Indian Statistical Institute, the Indian Institute of Management, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research.
