Under the radar, IIT Kharagpur anoints Syama Prasad Mookerjee Amid a furore over the renaming, Modi did not inaugurate the medical institute on February 23 although no reason was cited An IIT Kharagpur order has asked a doctor to oversee the administrative activities of “Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee Institute of Medical Sciences and Research” with “immediate effect”. The directive has prompted a section of teachers and alumni to point out that the medical establishment has been “surreptitiously” named after the Jana Sangh founder although President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam had in 2007 laid the foundation stone for a facility dedicated to Dr B.C. Roy, the builder of modern Bengal.
