Overview

This was the first academy of its kind in Kolkata with its own facilities. The beautiful academy could easily pass of as retreat for its greenery and serenity, hidden in the heart of Salt Lake, away from the maddening hustle & bustle of Kolkata. It is a great place to learn tennis for children and for adults to relax.

The academy, a joint collaboration between Jaidip Mukerjea and Bidhannagar Municipality.

Milestones

Jaidip Mukerjea had nobility in his blood. The grandson of the legendary Desabandhu Chittaranjan Das was born to Shri Adip Mukerjea & Smt. Aditi Mukerjea on April 21st, 1942. He was named "Jaidip" which means "light of victory".

Adhip Mukherjea, Jaidip's father was a keen sportsman and a Cambridge Blue in hockey. His maternal grandfather, J.C.Mukerjea was one of the founders and ex-president of "Calcutta South Club", the premier tennis club of India & the president of the Board of Cricket Control, India. Jaidip's maternal uncle Siddhartha Shankar Ray is an ex-Chief Minister of Bengal.

Jaidip was a student of La Martiniere College, and as a student he participated in most sports including soccer, hockey, boxing, cricket and rugby (which was his favourite sport). The grandson of Deshbandu showed a strange aversion to studies and an inclination for sports in his early school days.
