Asutosh Mookerjee - Birth Centenary 29.6.1964

Dr. Asutosh  Mookerjee was born in Calcutta on the 29th June, 1864, into a middle-class family. His father, who was a noted physician of his day, looked to his education himself. Young Asutosh was a mathematical prodigy, and even while he was a schoolboy, his original contribution to mathematics won appreciation overseas.

On the 29th June, 1964, which is the Birth Centenary of Dr. Asutosh Mookerjee, the Posts & Telegraphs Department issued a special commemorative stamp in honour of this great lawyer, a great judge and above all a great educationist.
