CENTENARY AWARD
CdA Global Language Centre is announcing an Annual Award.
The renowned educationist, late Shri Nirmal Kumar Roy, was born on September 23, 1920 and passed away in 2016 at a ripe old age of 96 in Salt Lake, Kolkata, just 4 short of a century.
An educationist of great repute, started as a Professor of English and from 1953 onwards till his retirement in 1979 worked tirelessly for the West Bengal Government Education Department and retired as the Deputy Director of Secondary Education. The schools in West Bengal in these 26 years which were initiated by him as well as other schools which were there - have been the beneficiaries of the various policies and reforms that he brought in, including the erstwhile 10+2 system which he brought in as the first Secretary General of the Higher Secondary Council in 1975.
He believed in education and personality development as the main ingredient of nation building.
Post retirement he continued to impart education in his own way for more than 15 years and taught hundreds of students to not only do well in exams, but also appreciate language, understand literature and use appropriate words and sentences to express themselves.
Musically inclined throughout his life, he could play the Piano, Sitar, Harmonium, Violin, Flute effortlessly and was a devoted singer of Rabindrasangeet, even performing publicly as late as at the age of 91 in Salt Lake, Kolkata.
To mark his centenary, we at CdA Global Language Centre are launching an Annual award in his name to recognize proficiency in English among Higher Secondary students which should benefit the very students that he was so fond of.
