An uncompromising visionary’s labour of love, the success story of the Ramagya Group is inextricable from that of its founder, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who continues to inspire and light the way through his gallant endeavour to educate and uplift the society.
The story behind every great institution or organization is a deeply cherished one. Often recounted with pride, it is one that defines and shapes the institution, lending it an identity distinct from that of others. In fact, the more remarkable its story, the more hallowed a character the institution appears to take on. One such incredible story is that of the Ramagya Group. Comprising schools, pre-schools, an academy for sports, a coaching centre for medical and engineering studies, an NGO, a dog shelter, and an import-export company among others, the group is involved in myriad social, educational, and charitable activities for the common good. A brief look at its history and foundation reveals that an extraordinary enterprise such as this could only have been the result of extraordinary ambition, bravado and struggle.
Struggle, Survival & Success — The Story of Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Founder of the Ramagya Group — A contemporary success story of lionhearted determination and resolve that continues to impact and inspire millions of young minds.
The story of the Ramagya Group is inextricable from that of its founder, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Born to a family of meagre means in Old Delhi, Dr. Gupta was the eldest among four siblings. Even as a young boy, he had to work several odd jobs to supplement the family income. He fixed watches, made candles, ran errands for shopkeepers, and repaired scooters. All the while, he continued his studies through correspondence. Slowly, through immense grit and hard work, Dr. Gupta was able to set up a small business of inexpensive watches and audio and video cassettes. Soon, the business started picking up, enabling him to save money for future business investments.
When Dr. Gupta finally got an opportunity to establish a big business, he was urged by most to set up a hospital or banquet hall; both enterprises promised immediate financial returns. But Dr. Gupta had other plans. Never having enjoyed the privilege of studying in the conducive environment of a good school, he was painfully aware of the importance of a sound education and thus determined to found a world-class school that would benefit generations of children.

It must be noted that his extraordinary entrepreneurial skills and business acumen apart, Dr. Gupta is widely known for his philanthropic activities. These include constructing homes for the underprivileged, and providing them with free education and skill development. Pertinently, his NGO the Ramagya Foundation proactively came forward to feed lakhs of migrant labourers during the recent COVID-19 lockdown. Moreover, the Foundation’s ‘Baal Saathee’ project is dedicated to identifying and helping young children suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, and sexual harassment.
A symbol of success against all odds, Dr. Gupta has been a recipient of several prestigious awards and recognition in India and abroad. He received the ‘Times Power Icon Award’ for exemplary contribution to the field of education and also won the Award for Extraordinary Contribution in Education from Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath and Chairman of Zee News Subhash Chandra. In 2014, he was accorded Honorary Doctorate Degree in Kuala Lumpur by The Open International University for Complementary Medicines, Sri Lanka.

Many decades ago, a young and penniless Dr. Sanjay Gupta used to try and make a livelihood making and selling candles on the pavements of Old Delhi. Today, through his unrelenting grit and hard work, he owns an empire that is helping millions accomplish their dream of a fine education and future. Serendipitously, he is continuing to light the way through his praiseworthy and undaunted endeavours in the areas of education and social service.
He started coming to the university for the first time after the admission of the first year students of the postgraduate level.
#Kolkata: About ten months later, the Calcutta University authorities started classes in the classroom. The practical class of the zoology department of the university started from Monday. He started coming to the university for the first time after the admission of the first year students of the postgraduate level.
However, as the university hostel is not open, some students will rent flats and others will take classes from the homes of their friends. Classes start from 11 am on this day. According to the university professors, permission has been obtained from the university authorities for conducting practical classes. In the next case, it depends on the decision of the higher authorities to take the class. Speaking on the occasion, Sagartirtha Sarkar, head of the Department of Zoology, said, “Students have been applying for classes for a long time. We are talking to the higher authorities of the university. Initially, practical classes will be conducted for 10 consecutive days. “
State universities, schools and colleges have been closed due to corona since the last week of March. Even though it is closed, the professors of the university have given classes online. However, the universities were worried about how to conduct practical classes even though the classes were online. The professors of Calcutta University were especially concerned about the practical classes of the students at the postgraduate level. Even though the class was online, not all the students in that class could participate in that way. All in all, the university authorities were demanding that the students take classes offline. Students were demanding practical classes, especially in the field of practical subjects like Zoology and Botany. Finally the practical classes of the university started from Monday. Although only a few departmental students are preparing to take practical classes in the classroom. With the exception of more than ten long years from Monday, the high school students started classes.
However, since the hostel was not opened, the students are taking classes by renting friends’ houses and flats. A student from Behrampur said, “Many questions are not always answered by taking classes online. So the real thing can be found only by coming to the classroom in person. We got into trouble because we were not having a practical class.” Similarly, one from Bankura The student said, “We have been taking classes at the university for the first time since we were admitted to the university. On the other hand, students are taking classes in more than one room, not in a specific room, in order to maintain social distance. The department has made it compulsory for students to wear masks during classes. On the other hand, the education minister is sitting in a meeting with the vice-chancellors next Wednesday. The meeting is expected to discuss the opening of the university.
He was rushed to the National Medical College Hospital in critical condition.
#Kolkata: He was going to his own destination with his girlfriend. When the phone rang, he stood on his bike and wanted to talk. That is tomorrow. A young man fell from the bridge after being hit by a car coming from the opposite direction. He was rushed to the National Medical College Hospital in critical condition.
Sources said the young man’s name is Shubhamoy Maitra. On that day, he was going from Science City to Maa Setu. A car came and hit him. He fell straight down. His girlfriend was also by his side. He is also injured, but his injuries are not so strong. However, he is completely devastated mentally.
Witnesses were also shocked by the incident. Traffic in the area was also temporarily halted due to the hustle and bustle. But now the situation is much normal.
There are Chennai, Bangalore, Kochi and even Nagpur But Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made almost no budget announcements for the Kolkata Metro project.
#Kolkata: Diamond Harbor MLA Deepak Haldar resigned from all the posts of the party by sending a letter to Speedpost. Deepak’s resignation letter reached the Trinamool Bhavan of Tapsia on Monday afternoon.
The distance between the party and Diamond Bar MLA Deepak had increased for a long time. It is alleged that Deepak M, who worked for the organization in South 24 Parganas, could not enter his area recently. Meanwhile, the speculation escalated when he went to meet Shovon Chatterjee. Many assumed that the departure of Shovan’s follower Deepak was almost inevitable. Faced with the show-cause, Deepak, however, said that it was a courtesy call. But in the end the speculation came true.
Sources said Deepak Haldar may join the BJP at the Baruipur fair tomorrow. Shuvendu Adhikari and Mukul Roy will be on the stage in his joining episode. Shuvendu Adhikari made a noteworthy comment in this regard. Announcing the date from Howrah, he said that the BJP would be divided in the Trinamool’s Kolkata and South 24 Parganas. Therefore, many assumed that Shuvendu was talking about Deepak.
But sources said Shovon Chatterjee will not be present at tomorrow’s meeting. He will represent the BJP in a procession in Behala. In that case, Deepak will sit in Padmasana without Shovon.
Note that in the South 24 Parganas, the BJP practically collapsed in the Lok Sabha polls. The BJP was looking for a way to crack down on Abhishek’s reign. The Gerua camp considers Shovon Chattopadhyay to be the most reliable figure in that work, and the grassroots return, the loyal follower Deepak can be his shield, like the political circles.
Rajiv Bandopadhyay said, everyone will get his new identity. People will see him in a new form in the political arena.
#Kolkata: Amit Shah is wearing a scarf around his neck. He is accepting it with a smile. Until then, Rajiv Bandopadhyay’s Twitter handle was known as ajRajibaitc – which was sharply criticized by Rajiv Bandopadhyay, a former minister of state and a former MLA from Domjur. On Sunday, Rajiv landed on his familiar ground and sang against his former team. Even then, the word aitc was flashing next to his name on Twitter. He also changed that on Monday morning. The name of the new Twitter handle is ajRajibBanerjeeWB ..
Rajiv Bandopadhyay said, everyone will get his new identity. People will see him in a new form in the political arena. So at the moment, one of the tools of propaganda, he showed his change on social media. Even after that, of course, the trolls are not stopping him. Trinamool Shibir claims that Rajiv Bandopadhyay could not forget his former political identity. So it took 72 hours to change the handle of Twitter after leaving the team. However, despite the name change, the blue tick is still intact. As a result, his popularity did not stop.
Rajiv Bandopadhyay, however, said that he is now campaigning all over the state for the lotus flower. Sources said that he is starting that work from this week. In addition to his own district Howrah, he will campaign in multiple places including Hooghly, Balurghat. Rajiv Bandopadhyay used to handle the campaign or organization for the Trinamool Congress at different times. This time Rajib himself is going to launch a strong campaign in all those places. Rajiv Bandopadhyay said, “A good football player shows his skill slowly. I will also show his skill. I will score a goal in the final match.” However, Rajib has also clarified that he will increase the tension in the coming days. He claimed, “Amit Shah has asked me to go on a statewide campaign. And I will do that by all means.” So, in response to the criticism, Rajib is changing the handle of Twitter and starting the BJP’s campaign with a strong step.
