IIEST Shibpur: The First Engineering College of West Bengal

Imagine a school that teaches people how to build things, like bridges and buildings.

That school is called an engineering college.

In West Bengal, India, the very first school like this started a long, long time ago!

It began in 1843 to teach people about building things for the government.

It moved around a bit, from a building where people wrote to a place called Shibpur.

It even became a college!

Over time, it got bigger and started teaching other subjects too, like how to make machines work.

Now, it's a special place where people learn how to be engineers!
