Educational Entrepreneurship
As an educational entrepreneur, Datta is dedicated to spreading quality education at an affordable cost. Inspired by Swami Vivekananda's vision of “Man Making” and “character building,” he founded several educational institutions in Howrah, West Bengal.
In 1993, he co-founded Maria’s Day School in Howrah, which is affiliated with the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi.
