The city of Calcutta (now renamed ‘Kolkata’), located in the eastern part of India, was established by the East India Company in late 17th century as a center of trade for the British. During the following centuries of British colonial rule, it had served as the capital of India till the early 20th century.

It is located beside the Hoogly river, a tributary of the sacred Ganges or Ganga and is the center of rich Scientific, Arts and Cultural heritage. It is the only city in India where all four Nobel prize winners from India had worked in their respective diverse fields.

The IAS Calcutta Chapter was officially started on 8th October 1997 with just about 20 members. Over the last several years, our member strength has grown to over 50 and stands to be :

· The largest IAS Chapter in Region 10 West

· The only IAS Chapter in India that is independent and not a joint Chapter with other society

The IAS Calcutta Chapter organizes Lectures by eminent personalities in the field of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, from or around Calcutta, from other cities in India, as well as from abroad. Seminars on special topics are organized from time to time. These meetings, including social ones, also serve to bring the members close together, so that they get to know each other, and thus benefit in their professional field.
