Acropolis Mall in Kasba’s Rajdanga is celebrating the nation’s Republic Day this year through a stunning Tricolour floral decoration, inspired by the Indian Flag. Vibrant saffron marigolds symbolise courage, pure white flowers that reflect peace, while lush green leaves represent prosperity. The arrangement balances tradition with creativity, blending texture and hues of nature to bring the patriotic spirit to life which remains grounded to our motherland, our soil. This offbeat homage through flowers transforms the space into a celebration of unity, resilience, and India’s rich heritage, reminding us of the ideals that bind us as a nation

On January 24, 1857, the University of Calcutta was established in Kolkata. It celebrates 168 years today. Also known as CU, it is a Grade A accredited university by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The university is a member of the United Nations Academic Impact, and has 14 campuses in Kolkata and the suburbs of the city. One of the many historic facts about the university is that 'The Calcutta Review', a journal published by the University of Calcutta, was founded by Sir John Kaye — a British military historian and civil servant who served in India in 1844. The university acquired the journal in 1921 and has been releasing it bi-annually
