| About Kolkata : |
| Kolkata has long been known for its literary, artistic and revolutionary heritage. As the former capital of India, Kolkata was the birthplace of modern Indian literary and artistic thought. Kolkatans tend to have a special appreciation for art and literature; its tradition of welcoming new talent has made it a ‘city of furious creative energy’. The city also has a tradition of drama in the form of folk-theatre and is known for its film industry dubbed ‘Tollywood’ (a stone’s throw from NSHM Kolkata campus). |

| City of Joy : |
 |
The kind of transformation Kolkata has seen during the last few years is bound to go down in history. From a metropolis plagued by power shortages and inadequate infrastructure, to one that today boasts of physical and social infrastructure other cities can only dream of. Add to that the headstart made by Kolkata in attracting new economy industries. |
|
| Kolkata is the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India, and the only city in the region to have an international airport. Kolkata's economic revival was led largely by the services industry, with the IT sector growing at 70% yearly - twice that of the national average. In recent years, there has been a surge of investments in the housing infrastructure sector with several new projects coming up in the city. |
