Having studied at The Doon School, Dehra Dun, St. Stephen's College, Delhi and at the Oxford College of Technology, U.K., Bose ventured into the field of education by taking a teaching post in 1967 at The Doon School (one of the premier schools in India) and has been involved with education since.

Soon after his assignment at The Doon School, Bose moved to join Dr. Graham's Homes in Kalimpong, West Bengal - a co-educational school for under privileged children from broken homes. Here he came face to face with the psychological problems facing children coming from an emotionally traumatic background. He learnt how to tackle such children so as to bring out the best in them.

After a few years in Kalimpong, Bose felt it was time he founded his own school which would inculcate the best of public school education but be available to those who cannot afford to go to one. Thus Bose founded and started the Cossipore Junior English School in 1976 from scratch. Because of the curriculum, personalized attention to each student and by looking into every detail, the school became a huge success. Students came from far and wide. It is now a high school called Cossipore English School with over 2000 students. Bose donated his school to the Ordnance Factory in 1980 after he found out that the institutional foundation which he had laid was strong enough for others to carry on his work.

A major problem which Bose faced in his school was shortage of good pre-primary and primary teachers. So the thought of starting a Montessori and Primary Teacher Training Centre was a natural conclusion in the entire spectrum of managing a good school.

The Calcutta Montessori Training Centre was established in 1983. The curriculum set was both practical based and job oriented.

From the beginning the Training Centre was in correspondence with numerous schools. These schools contacted the Centre as and when vacancies arose for new teachers and most candidates were selected in the first interviews. With time students coming out of this Training Centre were working in schools all over India and abroad. The students were also guided on how to start their own schools and many did so and are still doing. Gradually with the growth of popularity of the Training Centre, students from other states are also enrolling to receive their training here. The Centre has grown from strength to strength and continues to grow.
