Dr Tuhin Kumar Roy was born in Munghyr, Bihar, India, on 1 August 1923. His father, Rakhal Raj Roy was a lawyer who practised in Burdwan. Roy received an informal education at home until the age of seven. He was taught by his mother and a tutor who would come home to teach him. He lost his mother while he was 7 years old. At this point, he was admitted to the Burdwan Town School for boys, one of the three main schools in Burdwan at the time, straight into grade III.
