Career Lecture Series No. 4. Coal Industry & Trade 27th January 1939

1939

Syamaprasad Mookerjee, Chairman of the University Appoint- ments Board, for inviting me to speak to you on the subject of the Indian Coal Industry with special reference to the scope offers for the employment of the alumni of the University not only, I believe, as employees, but also as distributors and eventually as producers of Coal. [...] Before the separation of the province of Bihar from Bengal in 1912, the development of the Coal industry was practically confined to the then Bengal, its growth in the Central Provinces being of comparatively recent origin. [...] There is an idea current that a middleman in any trade is an undesirable person who has no business to butt in between the producer and the consumer and share the profits of12 the former and increase the price of commodities to the latter. [...] To our educated youth who are aware of the miserable plight of this provinie as well as of the unnatural and unenviable position of Bengalees in the commercial and industrial structure of Bengal it ought to be an additional incentive to recover the position once held by their forbears and secure their rightful place in the coal trade which is a major product of Bengal. [...] Is it too much to expect of the young men of Bengal that they would switch on a part of the dynamic interest they had shown in the recent past in the political arena to the economic sphere?
