Bijoy Gopal Goswami (fl. 1952–1957) was an Indian politician who served as a Member of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. Representing the 90-Salbani, Midnapore Constituency, he was elected during the 1952 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election, the first legislative election in independent India.
Hailing from Village Bankati, P.O. Hoomgarh, in the Garhbeta region of Midnapore district, Goswami officially took his oath of office as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) on June 18, 1952. He continued to serve in this capacity until April 5, 1957, when the legislative term ended with the dissolution of the assembly.
In addition to his contributions to Indian politics, Bijoy Gopal Goswami's legacy continues through his family. His son pursued a career in engineering and became a civil engineer, contributing to the country's infrastructure development.
This information is preserved in official records issued by the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, confirming Goswami's tenure and contributions during the formative years of India's democratic governance. .
