Started in 1333 B.S. (1926), Arthik Unnati was a monthly Bengali journal devoted to economic affairs. Published from the Calcutta Oriental Press, the journal published articles, reports, speeches, interviews, statements of accounts, and book reviews. The journal had regular sections – ‘Banglar Sampad’ (Bengal’s Wealth), ‘Arthik Bharat’ (Economic India), ‘Duniyar Dhandaulat’ (The World’s Resources), ‘Byakti o Sangha’ (Individual and Organization) carrying reports and notes on business organizations, companies, charitable institutions, demographic trends, education, hygiene and public health, ‘Molakat’ (Interview) carrying interviews of eminent Bengalis such as Nagendranath Adhikari, Brajendranath Shil, Bhupatinath Roy, Binay Kumar Sarkar, and Narendranath Laha, ‘Patrika Jagat’ (World of Periodicals) carrying brief overviews of other relevant journals (e.g. Bankers’ Magazine, Banker, Monthly Labour Review, International Labour Review, The Indian Textile Journal, and Times: Trade and Engineering Supplement), ‘Somalochona’ (Criticism), and ‘Granthapanji’ (Bibliography).
