I am a student of 1st year b.tech of ITME. Prof. Vasu is our new director, and he takes one class of 1st year Basic electrical eng. in a week for 2 hrs. I usually join electrical classes only for attendance, but we all join his class for two hours with out any attendance. We just have become fan of the way he teach us. We are proud to be in under of his shade.
In the 1st day he mentioned it in our class:-” Eat well, Sleep well, Play well and even then if you manage to find time….you may study”
I just want to say that, we ITMEan are really lucky to have a prof. like him.

Basu Sir as we have always called him is a Nobel man, Just look at his interview, A concerned citizen, student sympathetic teacher, somebody who wants to improve education system, Going back to a minority school for guiding students, making teachers responsible for students failure…………All these characteristics are little found in scholars of our time and with all the academic record this person is hell humble.

I will never forget your humbleness and your thoughts would be one of my guiding forces.

“Don’t you feel the small kid serving tea and washing dishes in Tikka’s deserves as much education as you did?”

Hmmmm……yes, a lot of character is required for such words.

Then again, why didn’t KGP retain a great teacher like Prof. Basu ? Given the massive crunch for quality, he should have been requested to stay back for a few more years. This is not unprecedented. In fact some profs have been called out of retirement.

I call him my guide, philosopher and Godfather
The man who had the biggest influence on me during my stay in KGP and made it worthwhile.
Me and the person above gave him a lot of trouble during our stint with him but he (almost) never got pissed! And helped us whenever we were in need of it.
Wherever I go, his influnce will always guide me through trying and triumphant times.
Hats of to you Sir!

He will be missed dearly by IIT-KGP, most importantly by the EE students. I still remember vividly his first remark during our Electrical Technology course in first year:
” Eat well, Sleep well, Play well and even then if you manage to find time….you may study”
A great role model for students. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
