amusing fact
i kept a count of money spent on my education. here are the figures for bachelor of arts (1954-56). all amounts are in paise only (in rupees the amount will look ridiculous)
item | first yr | second year | total |
fees | 11678 | 12888 | 24566 |
text books | 3288 | 1664 | 4952 |
help books | 640 | 60 | 700 |
note books | 541 | 552 | 1093 |

transport | 420 | 328 | 748 |
total | 16717 | 16244 | 32961 |
certified that the account is correct to the best of my belief and compiled from records kept.
(note that it is in pre 1956 currency when 64 paise meant one rupee)
(2 september 2017)
converted to modern currency (in paise)
