History :-

 West Bengal is India's 12th largest state. The state stretches from the foothills of Himalayas in the north to the Bay of Bengal in the south. Gopal Krishna Gokhale once said What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow." And Bengal, can be perhaps be justifiably proud of producing men and women whose ideas helped to shape modern India. Ram Mohan Roy, lswarchandra Vidyasagar, Ramkrishna and Vivekanand, spearheaded social and religious movements, Bankimchandra Chatterjee, Madhusudan Dutta, Rabindranath Tagore among others ushered in an era of new literature. A movement to evolve a true ' Indian art form' found its expression in Gaganendranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Nandlal Bose, Jamini Roy and others. Proscenium theatre came into the country with Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali and the new wave in Indian Cinema began. In this land India's freedom movement found some of the great sons like Sir Suren Banerjee, C. R. Das, Netaji Bose, Maulana Azad, as it drew inspiration from Rishi Aurobindo. Bengal is a proud land of five Nobel Laureates (Tagore, Raman, Ronald Ross, Mother Teresa, Amartya Sen).
