The Late Great Utpal Bhattacharjee, the pathfinder of our
institute was born on 12th December, 1957, as the second son in the wedlock of Late
Ranjit Kumar Bhattacharjee and Late Malati Bhattacharjee. He was brought up in a
hard-up family and lived in Kumartuli in a rented house during his childhood. His
father was an employee of the Ordinance Factory, Dumdum, who shifted his family to a
government quarter at 18, Mall Road, Dumdum in 1970. Thus, he anchored at his
workplace, the Northern Suburb of the city of Kolkata by the unseen hands of his
fate.
The phrase "Struggle and Success" was his firm resolve.
Although he could not achieve higher academic qualification because of his hard
reality of poverty, he gained valuable realistic education and purified his soul in
course of his struggle for existence. In youth, he crossed the political turmoil in
Bengal, occasionally he was emotionally influenced by the political ideology, but
the prime motto of his life was to work hard, to sacrifice for family members,
relatives, friends, neighbours and to help the weaker strata of the society at
large. Resultantly, his unmanageable and indomitable spirit and toughness couldn't
blemish his career; rather he became a successful person in all the walks of his
life. So, he was counted as the uncrowned leader of the leaders in the locality.
Self- immolation of his parents convulsed the core of his
heart. At the initial stage, he was engaged as a labourer to earn some meagre amount
for maintenance of their livelihood. Later on, he worked in a press. At last, his
self-confidence, personality and prudence persuaded him to start the business of
supply of business materials. He also enrolled his name as the enlisted contractor
of Dumdum Municipality. He ventured on the business of real estate. The fame of his
honesty, good will and punctuality steadily spread over in the business community.
Eventually, his boundless dream, imagination and energy
inspired him to lay the foundation of “Kingston Educational Institute”. The journey
was full of thorns. Unscrupulous personalities tried to topple down his strenuous
mission and efforts in flourishing the entity of our Institute in the educational
field. He tackled those untoward situations by his farsightedness. Our Institute is
now blooming in the campus of 83 bighas of land, where School, Degree College, 5
years Law College, Management College, Polytechnic College etc are duly recognized
and affiliated to, are being run by experienced and expert faculty members who
impart education to the pupils.
Especially, he introduced 3 years Law course, duly
recognized at our corporate building to facilitate the students who are in
employment. The B.Ed College is established in our campus, which is also a prime
example of his farsightedness. His last dream was to launch and expand our
educational activities in the different cities of West Bengal and the neighbouring
States. He always strove hard to uplift our Institute as the site of knowledge and
sanctity. Besides, he used to sincerely patronize meritorious and needy students for
their upbringing and education.
He was a sports lover. He voluntarily came forward to
finance the Football Coaching Camp in the playground of Dumdum Jail as well as the
playground of our campus under the guidance of coaches like Olympian Nikhil Nandi,
Tulsi Balaram and Moti Singh to find out unknown talent.
From the cradle to the grave, he salvaged countless
people in the different fields of life and so he was foe-less. The luminary star
dropped on 26. 06. 2017 from the galaxy of successful celebrities, a bolt from the
blue.
He was and is the anchor of our Institute. He is immortal in
the hearts of all staffs, employees, officers, faculties, educationists, students,
members and Office bearers of the Society. His generosity, celerity, decision making
process, characteristic of grasping the nettle at any situation, prudence, strong
morality, transparency and honesty will be our paramount and fundamental beliefs and
thought for our long stride in the educational paradise in future.
