How Indian Institute of Technology became a brand ! The Indian Economy was facing scarcity of Engineers after it has got its independence.

Amphan destruction !

Amphan, the super tropical cylone brought destruction: The Amphan cyclone affected West Bengal severely. The coastal areas of West Bengal saw 180kmph and outskirts along with Kolkata observed 130–140 kmph speed. It is a tropical cyclone on Bay of Bengal. The aftereffects are really pathetic. Houses made up of mud are completely destroyed. College street, a famous site in Kolkata near Presidency University, a hub for students to buy books was in poor condition. The book stalls full of books got destroyed and it is observed that books are lying on the roads like garbage sheets. It is so pathetic to see. Many people died at the spot when trees fall on their heads. It is unimaginable and dangerous too. I hope, we will overcome the situation. And pray to God to simultaneously end Covid-19 crisis and “Amphan” too.
