Bengal will lead the country, says Guv CV Ananda Bose

MP | 2 Dec 2022 | Kolkata: Bengal will lead the country and the country will, in turn, lead the whole world, said CV Ananda Bose, the newly appointed Governor of the state while addressing a gathering to celebrate the concluding programme of the 150th-year celebrations of Nilratan Sarkar Medical College and Hospital (NRS) on Thursday.

Karnik said Bengal has potential in the field of artificial intelligence that requires multi-dimensional knowledge. 

Governor CV Ananda Bose, a former bureaucrat, has profound respect for Netaji. Bose has also worked as University Vice-Chancellor, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, Chairman of the central public sector undertaking Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and District Collector.
