West Bengal College and
University Teachers' Association, the oldest
organisation of college and university teachers
in India traces its history since 1926. In
1926 India was still a single country and
Bengal, the area of which is now divided between
the sovereign republic of Bangladesh and the
Indian state of West Bengal, was an Indian
province. In 1926 the name of the association
was All Bengal College and University Teachers'
Association.
The new association attracted the cream of
the intelligentsia of Bengal which at that
time was the educational and cultural capital
of India. The founder president of the association
was Acharya P.C. Roy, a famous scientist.
He was succeeded by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan ,who
later on became the President of India.
