Handwritten character recognition is a significant research area, especially for languages like Bengali where quality OCR applications are scarce. Merging machine learning and deep learning techniques, including CNN, improves accuracy. The use of Grad-CAM as an XAI method enhances model interpretability.

We propose a solution which uses state-of-the-art techniques in Deep Learning to tackle the problem of Bengali Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR). Our method uses lesser iterations to train than most other comparable methods. We employ Transfer Learning on ResNet-50, a state-of-the-art deep Convolutional Neural Network Model, pretrained on ImageNet dataset.
