Abstract

A.D. 1918. Old boys of Sibpore Engineering College (now known as B. E. College) have come to attend the annual Reunion. Reunion meeting was over and dinner was scheduled at 8 p.m. So, the interval of gay evening was opportune for an informal get-together in the spacious greens of the beloved college. Gossip, tittle-tattle, chat, pleasant retrospection of good old days, reminiscence of chums and teachers, marked the occasion. In one such groups, someone became rather serious or constructive and proposed that they should meet on many more occasions in such atmosphere, to have happy time out of work. He was none other than Jatindranath Banerjee and his proposal received spontaneous applause. Not in mere words but in actions too-Chandrakanta Ghosh at once invited all present to his house (10 Rammohan Roy Road) the next week end, to work out the idea. They met, talked at subsequent weekend also. Number of promoters swelled and financial solvency was attained from donations. A spatial flat in the second floor was rented in Mirjapur Street (now Surjya Sen Street) near college square.

Abstract

Only a few years back a severe pestilence to fish life was observed in the Lal Dighi (Benoy-Badal-Dinesh Bag) of Calcutta. Investigations revealed that depletion of water in the tank and rotting of the variety of weeds in the water, deteriorated the water quality that is needed for the particular fish life to survive. Our interest in water pollution is centred upon its effect on animal life particularly on human life. So far we the scientists were less concerned about the living condition of aquatic lives in water. Rather we were more concerned whether these aquatic organisms are polluting the water body by their discharges or not so that the physical and chemical condition of water is not changed below usable 'standard'.
