Jadavpur University is a public state university located in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The University of Calcutta is one of three universities in modern India, the other two are Bombay (now Mumbai) and Madras University. It was established by the British in Calcutta in 1861 as a means of spreading Western philosophical thinking among the elite in India. He also intended to create, in Lord Macaulay's words, "a class of Indians of blood and color, but English in taste, opinion, morality, and intellect." This initiative was driven by the approval of the Universities Act of 1904. This resulted in the reorganization of the Senate and Union of Calcutta University by the appointment of more white members in them, which in turn would allow the government to control Their policies. The government also decided to disaffiliate many private Indian colleges, which had emerged lately and were considered by the government as pockets of nationalist agitation. The measures moved the educated middle class to move through alternative systems of education. Even the diplomas awarded by the University of Jadavpur were not recognized by the UGC / Govt. From India in the past until he moved to a university in 1955. His diploma awarded by the National Board of Education was not recognized until 1954.
Nationalists in India's struggle for freedom called the University of Calcutta, another pillar of India's educational movement, such as "Goldighir Ghulamkhana", or the slave house of Goldighi, with reference to the lake adjacent to the University of Calcutta, which were used in the British era as officers of the ICS. Therefore, the need to establish an institution that would impart education along nationalist lines was strongly felt by the luminaries of the time. The real thrust was provided by the division of Bengal by Lord Curzon, then Governor General of India, in East Bengal on the one hand (the area that would eventually become Bangladesh in 1971) and West Bengal and Odisha on the other. The young people of Bengal were among the most active in the Swadeshi movement, and the participation of university students drew the wrath of the Raj. R.W. Carlyle prohibited students from attending political meetings on the threat of withdrawal of funds and grants. The decade before these decrees had seen Bengali intellectuals increasingly urging Indian schools and colleges to replace British institutions.
On November 16, 1905, the Society of Owners organized a meeting on Park Street, which was attended by about 1,500 delegates, including Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh, Raja Subodh Chandra Mullick and Brajendra Kishore Roychowdhury. The idea of the National Education Council was discussed here. While at a meeting held on November 9, 1905 at the Camp and Academic Club, Subodh Chandra Mullick promised Rupiah a lakh for the founding of a National University in Bengal. The goal was to establish the institution that was to challenge British rule over education by offering education to the masses 'on national lines and under national control'.
Generous sums of money were also donated by Brojendra Kishore Roy Choudhury, Maharaja Suryya Kanto Acharya Choudhury and Rashbihari Ghosh, who was named the first president of the university. Aurobindo was the first director of the university. The organization in its early days was intricately associated with the nascent revolutionary nationalism in Bengal at that time. It was during his time as director that Aurobindo began his nationalist publications Jugantar, Karmayogin and Bande Mataram.
The disorder of the students in the school was frequented by students of East Bengal who belonged to the branch of Dhaka of Anushilan Samiti, and was known that was a focus of revolutionary nationalism, that was uncontrolled or even encouraged by the school.
