History

Having in mind a sincere desire to learn fundamental issues in Logic, a study group was formed in 1987 (14/11/1987) in Calcutta (presently Kolkata) with the initiative of Prof. Mihir Kr. Chakraborty of the Dept. of Pure Mathematics, University of Calcutta, India and with active support from Prof. Amita Chatterjee of the Dept. of Philosophy, Jadavpur University, India and Prof. Ranjan Mukhopadhyay of the Dept. of Philosophy, Rabindra Bharati University and later of Visva-Bharati University, India, all of whom are founder members of the group. This study group, which was informally named Calcutta Logic Circle (CLC), received constant inspiration from Late Prof. Haragauri Narayan Gupta, affiliated with University of Regina, Canada and who was a PhD student of Prof. Alfred Tarski. Prof. Pranab Kr. Sen and Prof. Tushar Kanti Sarkar of the Dept. of Philosophy, Jadavpur University, also supported this initiative actively.
