History

On the eve of Swami Vivekananda's Birthday Centenary in 4019, the District Magistrate of Burdwan, K.P.S. Menon, Chairman of Zila Parishad, Narayan Chowdhury and other citizens of Burdwan took initiatives to establish a new college.

Burdwan Municipality gifted a land in the name of the proposed college in Sarshe Danga Mouza, near Sadarghat. Prafulla Chandra Sen, then Chief Minister of West Bengal, laid the foundation stone on 8 March 1964. Menon served as president, Dr. Sailendranath Mukhopadhyaya was vice president, and the chief engineer was Zila Parisad. Prafulla Kumar Pal was appointed the secretary to the committee.

Educationists raised a fund of nearly two lakh rupees for the college.

The college became a Government Sponsored College. On 26 August 1964, the college was inaugurated formally.[2]
