FEEDBACK

The Indian Academy of Cytologists was founded in the summer of 1970 by a dedicated group of pathologists, gynaecologists and clinicians interested in cytology under the dynamic leadership of Dr. P.N. Wahi, the then Director – General of Indian Council of Medical Research. This multi-disciplinary approach was unique, for it allowed medical and paramedical personnel to share their views on a common platform. It found its place on the international map ever since it chose to affiliate with the International Academy of Cytology and its Journal. Over the past 40 years, due to the untiring efforts of its executive committee members, the Academy has grown in strength and stature.

The Objectives of the Academy :

• To encourage excellence and appreciate efforts put in the research

both fundamental and clinical–of the relatively new field of cytology.

• To encourage cooperation among those actively engaged in the

practice of clinical cytology.

• To standardize terminology.

The 40th Annual Conference of the Indian Academy of Cytologists (CYTOCON2010)will be held from 25th to 28th November, 2010 at EZCC and Aikataan, Salt Lake, Kolkata. The Conference is being organised by West Bengal Chapter of Indian Academy of Cytologists in association with West Bengal Chapter of Indian Association of Pathologists and Microbiologists and Calcutta Association of Practicing Pathologists. CYTOCON 2010 will be a National academic event where about 1000 delegates from across the entire country are expected to attend. The academic activities will be conducted by eminent National and International faculties.

TOUR & TRAVEL

The name kolkata and the anglicised name calcutta have their roots in Kalikata, the name of one of the three villages (Kalikata, Sutanuti and Govindapur) in the area before the arrival of the British. [4] “Kalikata”, in turn, is believed to be a version of Kalikshetra ‘Land of the goddess kali. Alternatively, the name may have been derived from the Bengali term kilkila (”flat area”). Again, the name may have its origin in the indigenous term for a natural canal, khal, followed by katta (which may mean dug). Another theory is that the place used to specialize in quicklime (kalicun) and coir rope and hence the place was called Kalikata.

While the city’s name was always pronounced “kolkata” or “koikata” in the local bengali language, its official English name was changed from “Calcutta” to “Kolkata” in 2001, reflecting the Bengali pronunciation. Some view this as a move to erase the legacy of British rule.
