May, 1971 The Calcutta University Bangladesh Sahayak Samiti continued its work in support of the cause of Bangladesh. During the period under review the Samiti continued to offer (i) aid to Mukti Fauj by supplementing Civil Supplies, sometimes in cooperation with other Committee with similar objectives, (ii) assistance to teachers and nonteaching staff of educational institutions in Bangladesh, (iii) assistance to Bangladesh Government agencies to coordinate their activities as and when desired by them and in the form and manner outlined by them. The first major publication of the Samiti “Bangladesh-The Truth’, with a foreword from our president, the Vice-Chancellor of the Calcutta University, Prof. S.N. Sen, appeared on May 9, 1971, the birthday of poet Tagore. This publication has been sent out to all the world universities, notable elites, Parliamentarians, Newspapers. As far as we are aware this publication has evoked very wide interest amongst the world elites regarding the happenings in Bangladesh.
