Shri Tapash Das Guptaji, GM(Edu) has been with the Jaypee organisation for the last fifteen years. He has been the pioneer principal of Jaypee Vidyamandir, Chitta till his retirement. Prior to this assignment he was initially appointed the principal of Jaypee Vidyamandir, Anoopshahr where he was instrumental in developing the second school now known as Jaypee Vidyamandir UC, Anoopshahr. Also to fulfill the dream of the honourable founder chairman Shri Das Gupta set up a Sanskrit vidyalay in the university campus. Post his retirement the organisation once again recalled him as the GM(Edu).
Born in the northeastern state of Meghalaya in Shillong Shri Das Gupta did his schooling from one of the pioneer vernacular schools of the town called Laban Bengali Boys School and then went on to do his pre-university and graduation from another well known institution of the northeast St. Anthony's College. He completed his post graduation in botany from the North Eastern Hill University.
Shri Das Gupta's career began as an adhoc teacher in the KV and after a year and half he joined as the biology teacher in Assam Rifles Public School which turned out to be the premier solely residential school in the whole of northeast for boys of the service personnel, chiefly Assam Rifles as well as civilians. Teaching there for long 22 years Shri Das Gupta is till date revered as an iconic biology teacher not only in ARPS but in the whole of Shillong. His teaching has been a motivating factor for a good number of students opting for medicine and other bio related research work, here and abroad.
Besides his own academic subject Shri Das Gupta has been a great stage enthusiast and had run the drama club of ARPS that produced in the 80s and 90s some fantastic plays which are still the talk of the town. His drama club also produced national level film director, producer and actor.
Always a sports lover Shri Das Gupta took keen interest in all games. Having played for the university cricket team his special love for the game saw him on field with the boys even as the principal of JVM Anoopshahr. Being a tennis enthusiast he had built up the tennis court in the Anoopshahr city campus.
A great motivator Shri Das Gupta got together his team of staff--academic and non academic--to grow the two schools he headed under the aegis of Jaypee Associates. It was under him that JVM Anoopshahr grew to be a premier institution in the Bulandshahr district and the fledgling JVM Chitta grew to be a newly affiliated higher secondary school.
