Whatever has been written about Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee so far doesn’t do justice to his grand and multi-faceted personality. This leading sentiment is behind the motivation of writing the present book. A lot has been written on Dr. Mookerjee’s political endeavours. However, his persona is immeasurably significant beyond his political life. The simplest explanation of his life proclaims him master of social, educational and economic thought.
This book is an attempt to know how Dr. Mookerjee became a powerful personality, an educationist, a thinker, and an administrator. The focal point is to explore the new experiments and innovations brought out into the world of education by him. He always saw the role of education as of utmost importance in the process of national regeneration. Throughout his life, he spoke in favour of education, teachers and students. He was an educationist par excellence. It was under his tenure that Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore delivered the convocation address in Bengali, which was not less than a revolution in British India.
This book will help the readers see the profound blending of tolerance, humanity, and tradition, together with the scientific outlook in the personality of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
