Tol Education .
.
Tols or Chatuspathis, which impart traditional Sanskritic learning, is an important part of our heritage and once upon a time Bengal used to be famous for its Tols and the learning imparted there. Now, suffering from systematic neglect especially for the three and a half decades of Left rule in the state, they are dwindling and need urgent revival. There are still about 700 plus Tols in the state, but unfortunately, the state government pays only the DA to the Tol teachers and not their salary. For the last three decades, there has been no new recruitment to the sanctioned posts of pundits in the Tols. Most of them are at present being run only by government-nominated ad hoc committees and not by full-fledged committees. The annual examinations for the Tols supposed to be conducted by the state government at three levels, has been stopped for the past five years. The last examination was conducted only in 2007. The Convocation which is supposed to be held regularly is also not being held. There is provision for scholarships for meritorious students of the Tols from the state government but these scholarships are not being given and there is no accountability of the money involved either. There is no provision for adequate recognition of the degrees awarded by the Tols after the state-level exams and no vision for employment or higher education facilities for the pass-outs of these traditional and historic institutions. Their degrees are not being recognized as equivalent to the general degrees and are not recognized even in the Employment Exchanges. There are 4 government run Tols in the state out of the 4, the Tol at Sanskrit College, Kolkata has at present only 3 teachers out of a sanctioned strength of 21, the Tol at Cooch Behar Sanskrit College and Nabadwip Sanskrit College has been stopped and their campuses taken over by anti-social elements. The campus of the historic Nabadwip Sanskrit College is alleged to be sold to promoters. Only the Tol at Kanthi Sanskrit College is is a somewhat running condition. We demand that this state of affairs be rectified immediately. Adequate recruitment be conducted in all the 700 plus Tols of the state and the 4 historical government Tols be revived as institutions of excellence. Degrees of Tols be recognized as equivalent to the general degrees and the government take immediate steps to revive the Sanskrit learning, which was the fame of Bengal once upon a time. .
