Declare Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Birthday as Mass Education Day

The Issue

Pundit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, one of the pillars of Bengal renaissance was an Indian educator and social reformer of the nineteenth century. He championed the upliftment of women in Bengal.

He brought about a revolution in the Bengali education system and refined the way Bengali language was written and taught. His book, ‘Borno Porichoy’ (Introduction to the letter), is still used as the introductory text to learn Bengali alphabets.

We demand that this great man's birthday on 26th September be declared as the "Mass Education Day" for his role of thoroughly re-modelling medieval scholastic system prevailing in Sanskrit College and bring about modern insights into the education system.

We as a social welfare organization appeal to all like minded people to support us in our campaign to the best of their ability in all possible ways.

If our effort wins, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar will be given the best possible respectful homage. However if our petition don't attains success, we will have to explore other avenues as well.
