Vidyasagar had a very soft heart that sympathised with those in trouble. He never listened to what others said about his work and made decisions based on his judgement. Ishwar Chandra was a man who defined his path of action. He went from door to door, requesting heads of families to allow their daughters to be enrolled in schools.
He exercised his power to open schools for girls and even outlined a suitable curriculum to educate them. He rightly viewed education as the primary way for women to achieve emancipation from society’s oppression they had to face at that time.
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a strong advocate of women education. He encouraged students to study these subjects and make both worlds’ best. He also introduced courses in European History, Philosophy and Science alongside Vedic scriptures. He included English and Bengali as mediums of learning, besides Sanskrit. As a professor at Sanskrit College, he bought a modern outlook into teaching. Vidyasagar is credited with completely changing the old teaching method, which prevailed in Sanskrit College. Thus, he brought about a revolution in the Bengali Education System. His book ‘Borno Porichoy’ (Introduction to the Alphabet) is still used as the introductory text to teach the Bengali alphabet. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar refined the way the Bengali language was written and taught. The Widow Remarriage Act was passed in 1856, making the marriage of widows legal because of his efforts to solve these problems. He favoured widow remarriage and women’s education in India. He strongly protested against polygamy and child marriage. He was a great social reformer, writer, educator and worked endlessly to transform society. One such personality who was so humble and lived his complete life with determination and purpose to achieve specific aims was Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. Great people are born to produce an influence on society.
