Early life & education

Ananda Bose was born on 2 January 1951 at Mannanam, Kerala to Vasudevan Nair and Padmavathy. He attended Kuriakose Elias College, Mannanam,[4] and St. Berchmans College, Changanassery.[5] He holds a Ph.D from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani.[6]

Indian Administrative Service

As the Administrator of the National Museum, Bose launched a 100-day programme which spelt out specific measures to revamp and revitalise the institution. Most of the improvements suggested were achieved in 60 days, such as opening the closed down galleries, modernising the display and lighting, launching outreach programmes to take the Museum to the community, arranging children's programme to ignite young minds to the greatness of India's national heritage, organising international exhibitions and launching the People's Museum movement, to mention a few.[7]

Personal life

Dr. Bose has 350 publications to his credit, including 70 books, consisting of novels, short stories and poems in Malayalam, Hindi, English and now in Bengali also.[8] [9]

Governor of West Bengal

On 17 November 2022, Bose was appointed Governor of West Bengal by President Droupadi Murmu.[10]

Controversy

On 2 May 2024 Bose was accused of sexual harassment by a woman contractual staff of Raj Bhavan, Kolkata.[11] The woman alleged that the Governor had “molested” her on 24 April 2024.[12] Bose completely denied the issue as maligning for political mileage during the 2024 Indian general election[13] and hit back saying “truth would triumph,” and he would not be “cowed down by engineered narratives".[14] [15] The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) also questioned the connections of the women with the governing Trinamool Congress.[16] The woman filed her complaint which was forwarded to the Hare Street Police station.[17] [18] Kolkata Police set up an investigation team and have sought CCTV footages.[19] On 15 May 2024, a different allegation of sexual harassment against Bose was raised by one Odissi dancer.[20] The dancer lodged a complain and accused Bose and his nephew of sexual abuse at Start Hotel in Delhi in January 2023.[21] [22]
