Anubhab comes from the quiet village of Purusottampur in the Hooghly district of West Bengal. He completed his schooling at Gopal Nagar Kumud Ranjan Dey High School in Singur. Anubhab is a dedicated and hardworking student who has never allowed the many hardships in his life to deter him from pursuing his goals. His challenges have included financial constraints, limited access to educational resources, and a lack of training in English — all of which he has steadily worked to overcome with determination and grit.
Anubhab lives with his father, mother, elder brother, and his uncle and aunt, who all share the same household. His father and uncle work as farmers, cultivating paddy and bananas on their land. The entire family of six is supported by the modest income from the farm, which ranged between ₹84,000 and ₹96,000 annually at the time Anubhab joined Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) as a trainee.
It was through the training and mentorship provided by the IDIA West Bengal Chapter that Anubhab found a path forward in his legal journey. He prepared for the law entrance examinations under their guidance and secured admission to South Calcutta Law College, affiliated with the University of Calcutta. Though he was initially disappointed at not making it to a National Law University, Anubhab now believes that one can bring change and serve society regardless of the name of the institution. He remains committed to his legal education and is determined to make the most of every opportunity that comes his way.
Anubhab has completed his BA LLB degree in August 2025 from South Calcutta Law College, which is affiliated with the University of Calcutta. He has also gained valuable practical experience through the following internships:
- Under Advocate Subhendu Modak, Hooghly District Court — June 2022 to August 2022
- SRA Law Chambers, Kolkata — June 2023
- Roy Advocates, Kolkata — August 2024
Outside his academic life, Anubhab is a curious and passionate learner. He enjoys reading in both English and Bengali, and is particularly drawn to world affairs and historical events. He also enjoys cooking, playing football, and practising yoga, all of which bring balance and creativity to his routine.
Anubhab’s story is one of quiet strength and thoughtful perseverance. His journey from a small farming village to the legal corridors of Kolkata is an inspiring testament to the power of mentorship, education, and an unwavering will to rise above circumstances.
