Kolkata, Sept. 24 -- The Students' Federation of India (SFI) commemorated the martyrdom day of revolutionary Pritilata Waddedar at the Jadavpur University campus on Thursday.
Jadavpur University has a long-standing legacy of India's freedom struggle and the Swadeshi movement, and the campus has a tradition of commemorating the history of the Independence movement, SFI JU unit president Rajyeswar Mondal said.
"The programme was held at the Faculty Union Room premises, with over 100 members of the Students' Federation of India participating. We invited progressive and education-conscious people to join the programme," he said.
Waddedar, a revolutionary associated with the anti-British movement, died on September 24, 1932, after carrying out an attack on the Pahartali European Club in Chittagong, then part of British India. The SFI also took out a rally on the Jadavpur University campus, demanding immediate improvement of infrastructure and restructuring and development of the placement cell, among other demands.
