Dr. Minoti Chatterjee joined Kamala Nehru College in November 2004. In her ten years, she helped Kamala Nehru College evolve into one of the top arts colleges in India. The college grew culturally and academically under her guidance. A patron of theatre and folk art, the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the college under her aegis was a phenomenal success. Dr. Monami Bose, a senior teacher at the Economics department of the college said, Dr. Chatterjee is an enigmatic leader and a dynamic mentor. She never micromanaged and lets teachers operate autonomously. We have evolved as a united family under her guidance. She sure is a living legend who changed the face of Kamala Nehru College.”
