The Indian-Australian mathematical prodigy Akshay Venkatesh has won the Infosys Award in Mathematics for the year 2016. His research work has exceptionally wide ranging foundational and creative contributions to modern Number Theory. His unique ability to use the wide ranging techniques drawn from analytic number theory, ergodic theory, homotopy theory to address concrete problems in Number Theory, and discover new phenomena attest to the essential unity of Mathematics.- A Report on the Nobel Prize Awards in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine (or Physiology) in 2017

The research on Number Theory in Calcutta University started after the famous South Indian number theorist Dr. S. S. Pillai joined the Department of Pure Mathematics in 1942. Dr. Pillai has made substantial research work in the area of Number Theory and is famous for his work on Waring’s Problem. But apart from that he was the man who initiated a school of research dedicated to Number Theory in the University of Calcutta. He guided a brilliant student named L. G. Sathe, who solved a very important problem on Number Theory known as ‘Hardy’s Problem’. Another famous South Indian mathematician T. Vijayaraghavan joined the Dacca University in the erstwhile East Bengal in 1931. He inspired his student D. P. Banerjee there to work on Number Theory. Banerjee made handsome contributions in the field. In the 20th Century, these researches along with those made by Pillai and Vijayaraghavan themselves during their stay in Bengal are the output of the Bengal school of Number Theory.References

The Tagores of Jorasanko in Calcutta were famous for their contributions in literature, art, culture, music and various other forms of performing arts. They were in a sense the harbingers of the renaissance in Bengal, Rabindra Nath Tagore being the most luminous star among them. But it is not very well known that Rabindra Nath Tagore’s eldest brother Sri Dwijendra Nath Tagore (1840 - 1926) apart from being a patriot, a philosopher and a poet, was also a geometer with original ideas.

General Relativity also known as general theory of relativity, is the geometrical theory of gravitation first published by Albert Einstein (1879-1955) in 1915. It gives us the current description of gravitation in modern physics. This year, happens to be the centenary year of this scientific innovation. In this article, the contributions of the Indian scientists, who worked in this area during the 20th century, has been discussed.

The main thrust area of the Field Medalist mathematician Manjul Bhargava’s Research work, has been the Algebraic Number Theory. He has generalized the200 years old composition law of C. F. Gauss. But the composition law was first discovered by the legendary ancient Indian mathematician Brahmagupta in the Seventh century A.D. and he had named it “Samasabhavana”. So Bhargava has extended a concept, whose seeds were first sown in ancient India. Though born abroad, Manjul Bhargava has been the torch-bearer of the glorious mathematic allegacy of India.

This year the Nobel Prize in Physics has been shared by three pioneer scientists working in the field of Lasers. Arthur Ashkin of the USA is an American. He is at the age of 96 the oldest man ever to win the coveted award. He has invented optical tweezers that grab particles, atoms and molecules with laser beam fingers. With this he was able to use the radiation pressure of light to move physical objects. In 1987, came a major breakthrough when Ashkin used the tweezers to capture living bacteria without harming them. Dr. Ashkin made his discovery while working at AT & T Bell Laboratories, USA from 1952 to 1991. He has been awarded one half of the nine million Swedish Kronor (about $1.01 million or 870,000 Euros).- Report of the “Professor M R Gupta Memorial National Seminar”—2019

Raja Rammohan Roy is one of the greatest Indians of all times. He was a constructive thinker, a great intellectual, a polyglot, an educationist and a dynamic social reformer. He was an extremely courageous man and fought fearlessly against the social evils such as child marriage, dowry system, polygamy, widow burning (‘Sati Daho’) and ‘Koulinya Pratha’. His greatest contribution was successfully abolishing the ‘Sati Daho’ with the help of the British Government, the Brahmo Samaj and his broadminded liberal friends – Indians as well as Europeans.Keywords
