A number of Universities and institutions of India have come forward with extra temporary employment of Bangladesh teachers on the basis of the relevant biodata supplied by us.

The University of Kerala have decided to invite some Bangladesh teachers to deliver their Rabindra Lecture this year. The WBCUTA has also given one type-writer to us on loan for which we record our sincere thanks. Messrs. Radiant Process should be thanked for printing the ‘Conflict in East Pakistan-Background and Prospects’ free for cost and also for free engraving of the connected blocks and figures.

Das, a retired Judge of Calcutta High Court, has gone to London and he will visit other important cities of Europe. Though he himself is bearing all his expenditure yet he will act as our emissary.
