Abstract: Abstract Sisir Kumar Mitra was born in Konnagar, Hooghly, near Calcutta, on 24 October 1890. He was the third son of Joykrishna Mitra and Saratkumari Mitra. His father was a school teacher and a learned man. He was also a close associate of Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Pandit Shiv Nath Sastry, Bipin Chandra Pal and other progressive thinkers. Mitra’s mother, Saratkumari, completed her medical training from Campbell Medical School, Calcutta in 1892, and got a job at Lady Dufferin Hospital, at Bhagalpur, Bihar. Consequently, the family shifted, and Joykrishna Mitra started working at the Bhagalpur Municipality.
