An eminent Indologist and numismatist, author of 'Foreign Influence on early Indian Indigenous coins'.

Dr. Sanjoy Roy Chowdhury is a brilliant scholar in the field of numismatics. He completes graduation (Hons.) in 1992 and post-graduation in 1994 from the Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture & Archaeology, University of Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India with special papers in Fine Arts, Epigraphy and Numismatics. In course of his professional degree B. Ed. (1995-96), he studies Indian classic language Sanskrit. His career is started with an assistant teacher of history in 1999 at Gopalpur High School, Birbhum, a sponsored school under W.B. Government. Within a few months, he is also appointed as an assistant teacher of history in a central school under the management of Farraka Thermal Power Plant (NTPC), Pubarun, Malda (W.B.). But he refuses it and determines to remain at Gopalpur surrounded by boundless natural beauty of Saal- Mahua-Palash Forest, hot and cold spring, coal Khadan (local mining), different hills, rivers and dams of Chhotonagpur range in the borderland of Bengal and Jharkhand. He gets married with Krishna Roy (Roychowdhury), M.A. in 2001.

In 2011, Dr. Roy Chowdhury is awarded Ph.D. degree by the University of Visva-Bharati under the department of Anthropology. As a Ph. D. scholar and a member of Numismatic Society of India, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, U.P., India, he comes under close contact with eminent numismatists. He takes the opportunity to work in association with Prof. D. K. Ganguly (Visva-Bharati), Prof. B. Chattopadhyay (Burdwan University, W.B.), Dr. B. N. Mukherjee (Carmichael Prof. of the Dept. of Ancient Indian History and Culture, Calcutta University, Kolkata, W.B.). In course of his work, he has studied in different libraries and museums. Among the libraries, the Central Library, Visva-Bharati; the National Library, Kolkata; the Asiatic Society, Kolkata; the Seminar Library of the Dept. of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, Visva-Bharati would be mentioned most frequently. As for the Museums, the major works are done in Indian Museum, Kolkata; in National Museum, New Delhi; in Patna Museum, Patna. The Trustees of the British Museum (London, U. K.) and the Prince of Wales Museum (Mumbai, Maharashtra); the Numismatic Society of India (U.P.); the Archaeological Survey of India, New Delhi extend all facilities conducive to his work. He is promoted to the headmaster, a post both for administrator and educator, at Nunduri S C Vidyaniketan, Bankura, under W.B. Government in 2019. Here his role as administrator is very bold against local bureaucracy to run the development programmes of the institution fairly and smoothly.

Dr. Roy Chowdhury (born on 3rd Nov, 1970) passes Secondary Examination from his native school Kowarpur High school, Purba Barddhaman (W. B.) in 1986. His father Sridam Sakha Roy Chowdhury (1941 A.D. – 2019 A.D.), a civil engineer by profession, was an ex-service man of Chittaranjan Locomotive works, a major Indian manufacturer of electric locomotives in Pashim Bardhaman district, W.B. and Ex-Pradhan of Majhigram Gram Panchayet (head of the local administrative body) in which the village Kowarpur is located. At that stage of adolescents, he enjoys the game of football to his heart with rural friends at Kowarpur. His mother Srilekha Roy Chowdhury is a house wise. After Higher Secondary Examination as a Science student from Bolpur High School, Birbhum, he gets admitted to the university of Visva-Bharati for higher education in 1989. At that stage (10+2) he learns Karate (martial art) and gymnastics in the play ground of Bolpur High School and Siksha Satra, Sriniketan, a part of Visva-Bharati University. He also engages himself in a computer diploma course at Vidyasagar College, Suri, then the only one centre to learn computer in the whole district of Birbhum (1998-99). In parallel to his studies at Visva-Bharati he takes para-military training ‘National Cadet Crapps’ with adventurous activities like long distance cycle expedition, mountain trekking, parachuting etc. and gets the highest certificate ‘C’ on that concern (NCC) in 1992. He also attends successfully all the National Service Scheme activities organised by Dean of Students Welfare, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan during the session 1989 to 1992. At present since 2021, he is Head of the Institute of Burdwan Railway Vidyapith, Burdwan, under Education Department of W.B. Government, India. Here he enjoys the alternative reactions of his beloved assistant and other colleaques with temporary opposition& detachment and then hearty closeness, their intensity of doing something more in class room or sending the students in play ground without study, their collective participations in different programmes or merely avoidance with him.
