JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY
PHOTOGRAPHIC CLUB

About us..............

             Jadavpur University Photographic Club (JUPC) is not just another hobby club on the block. Established in 1966, it is still going strong and promises to do so for many years to come. This student-run club has as its members students from all the faculties in Jadavpur University, who share a penchant for photography. Located centrally at the1st floor of the Amenity Centre in the Jadavpur campus the club has four darkrooms and a studio replete with necessary photographic equipments. Keeping in track with the massive scale digitalization of photography, the club now owns a computer and a scanner. The club has an illustrious history to boast of and is well acclaimed in the photographic sphere in India.

         Activities..........

       Every year we arrange a major national level event,a salon or a members’ exhibition.

        All these contests were followed by an exhibition of some selected photographs at prestigious public galleries of Kolkata as  Gaganendra Shilpa Pradarshansala or Academy of Fine Arts.

  Tribute to ex-members.........

       During the exhibitions we try to put a section for our senior members.

     The feature highlighted the wide variety of physical objects that serve as tools in various religious faiths.

  Beyond  photography........

        In addition to and above everything else, JUPC is a place to unwind after everybody's hectic academic commitments. It induces in one the essence of the purest form of friendship, creative teamwork and cooperation.  It is a wonderful place to spend the spare time of college days in a constructive manner. Even though students are usually active members of this club only during their academic association with Jadavpur University, for a short tenure of four to five years, a strong sense of belonging and a very healthy senior-junior relationship has helped the club become a family of sorts.

Through our contributions and achievements in the photographic arena for more than 40 years, we have carved a niche of our own in this colourful world of photography.  JUPC's alumni are now spread over the entire length and breadth of the globe with people of versatile profession in its wings, from Computer Science Engineers and Management Gurus to Physicists and English Professors.
