Amartya Sen's Family Says He Won't Be Able To Receive Bengal Government Award

Nobel laureate Amartya Sen's family has said that he will not be able to receive the Bangabibhusan award.

 Nobel laureate Amartya Sen will not receive the 바카라Bangabibhusan바카라, the highest civilian award conferred by the West Bengal government, his family said on Sunday.

Sen is understood to have told state government officials in the first week of July when approached, that he will not be in India when the presentation ceremony takes place. It is scheduled to be held in Kolkata on Monday. 바카라He is presently in Europe,바카라 a family member told PTI.

Asked if the decision had anything to do with the appeal by CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty to the prospective recipients, including Sen, to not receive the award from the TMC government, a key minister of which was arrested for alleged involvement in a school jobs scam, she said the octogenarian had intimated the organizers before any such developments took place that he will be unavailable. 

바카라He has had the good fortune of being honored with several awards, and wants the 바카라Bangabibhusan바카라 to be conferred on others now,바카라 the celebrated economist바카라s daughter Antara Dev Sen told a local news channel.
