(k ა\ყ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড As usual we are maintaining contact with the different ‘Y” camps and continuing assistance according to our limited capacity to Mukti Fouz personnel. During the month we could supply a very limited quantity of mosquito nets, boots, etc. for fighters for Liberation. We have requisition for more and attempts are being made to secure resources from other committees. The West Bengal College and University Teachers Association and other public committees with similar objectives have been/are being approached for the purpose. Mr. Kalyan Mukherjee and Mrs. Banee Mukherjee were kind enough to supply a consignment of chaffed rice and sugar which we distributed in three camps in presence of Mr. and Mrs. Mukherjee. We regret to report that we could not bring out any publication this month but mailling of our already published literature continues as usual. We are, however glad to report that our second picture album, designed on a chrono logical basis is now in the Press and another publication written- by Dr. Ashok Mazumdar of Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, Bombay will shortly go to the press. Camp School Scheme Till now 31 camp schools have been started-21 in West Bengal-and 10 in Agartala. More than 400 teachers from Bangladesh could be provided hereby. It had been reported in the last meeting that His Excellency Nawab Ali Yavar Jung, Governor of Maharashtra evinced a keen interest in the Camp School Scheme. On his return to Bombay he telegraphically suggested some modifications in the scheme submitted by us which has been done and sent back to him for his consideration. We hope some tangible results in the near future. Assistance to Teacher Since the beginning our Vice-Chancellor Prof S.N Sen, the president of the Samiti tried his best to absorb some teachers from Bangladesh on an extra temporary basis. He had fruitful talks with the UGC and also with the Union Education Minister on the issue as early as in May last. Subsequently the undersigned along with others apprised the Prime Minister of the situation in June and July last. The Union Education Minister also kept informed of the gradually deteriorating situation. Several schemes prepared by the Calcutta University Bangladesh Sahayak Samiti with the concurrence of the Bangladesh Sikshak Samiti were submitted to the Government for temporary absorption as Visiting Fellows etc. of Bangladesh intellectuals. Unfortunately nothing tangible could be done in the matter till now. It would have been excellent if the idea mooted by the Samiti to absorb temporarily some intellectuals in the top bracket from Bangladesh in our Indian Universities was accepted by the policy framers in our country. We are, however, glad to note that the Universities of Patiala, Jodhpur, Muzaffarpur, the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science, Calcutta, Indian Statistical Institute Calcutta, Jadavpur University have absorbed some scholars from Bangladesh. Delhi University and Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi also kindly offered their cooperation.
