 Celebration of 200th birth anniversary of the Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar

 

Answer:

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was born on this day September 26, in the year 1820, into a Hindu Brahmin family in the Bengal Presidency of British India. Shortly after Vidyasagar's death, Rabindranath Tagore reverentially wrote about him: "One wonders how God, in the process of producing forty million Bengalis, produced a man!"

To mark the 200 birth anniversary of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Bannerjee has decided to celebrate the 'Vidyasagar Week' among the schools.

Schools in West Bengal are celebrating 'Vidyasagar Week' by organising essay competitions, cultural functions, exhibition and seminars to venerate the 200 birthday of the great thinker, philosopher, philanthropist and revolutionary Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
