September 22, 2006: University of Calcutta acquires Rare Books on Vaishnava Literature
"The University of Calcutta got richer on Wednesday after some rare books of Biman Behari Majumdar were donated to the varsity. The books are mostly on Vaishnava literature. 'The books were mostly locked in almirahs and it was difficult for us to take care of the rare and priceless collection. So we thought of donating it to the university,' said Soumitra Majumdar, grandson to Dr Majumdar, IRTS, chief public relations officer, Eastern Railway. "
