Second to IIT Chennai, Shibpur’s Bengal Engineering & Science University (Besu) will have a course in Automobile Engineering starting July next. When that happens, the 30-odd students who will study the 2-year postgraduate course will surely have a ready job market to be absorbed. Interestingly, this development is occurring at a time when auto major […]
After Apollo, it’s Fortis
Are we to see this sign soon at many city places? Indeed so, going by today’s TT report. If you’ve no clue what Fortis is, well it’s the healthcare arm of Delhi-based drug makers, Ranbaxy Laboratories. With quite a few hospitals to its credit mainly in Delhi, Fortis now plans to launch retail health stores, […]
Wisdom speaks
Whoever said pearls are hidden beauty of age is perhaps not off the mark. When one is young, nothing seems impossible. With each passing day, the irrepressible mind gives way to more awareness of what is possible and what is not, till the time comes when man (or woman) is able to measure his (or […]
TT changes…for better
When you regularly read a newspaper, you do not necessarily start from page one and proceed in page-wise sequence. I happen to do the same with my favorite paper, The Telegraph. Barely giving a glance to the main page (keeping it for later probing), I rather begin from last page (the BACKPAGE) and then flip […]
Tata Steel after Coca-Cola
For a change, today’s newspaper headlines are unanimous. They all hail Tata Steel as the new Indian champion – albeit in corporate sector. Expectedly, many hitherto unknown facts have come to the fore, among which is Tata Steel’s gatecrashing into Fortune Global 500 list. Fortune publishes the list once a year, so saying that Tata […]
Branded PCs lead the charge
When my friend who supplied my desktops all these years put his gloves down 6 months back for want of order, I could see the writing on the wall. He is among the lucky few to have switched over in time to ‘servicing’ PCs instead of pure hawking. This development of branded PCs gradually eating […]

1500 new universities
Shortly after taking over as the head of UPA government at the center, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in June 2005 constituted the National Knowledge Commission (NKC for short), headed by Sam Pitroda. PM understood that the quality of education has to improve in our country. Above all, he knew to the core of his heart […]
Is it Boeing?
This is one investment story that refuses to die down. Thankfully so for Bengal, for it’s about a project which just there cannot be many. It’s not a steel plant of which there is no dearth in India, especially in the east. Nor is it a IT project of which too there is no shortage […]
India’s space triumph
Daily dose of hullabaloo all around sometimes sink singular achievements without trace. One such is India’s space scientists’ successfully re-guiding a 550-kg space capsule back to earth from outer space on Jan 22. With this India joins the select group of only 3 countries (US, Russia and China) who have this ability. Of course, US […]
