Bhairab Ganguly College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bhairab Ganguly College is a university college in Belgharia, a northern district of Kolkata that was set up on 3 September 1968. The campus is easily accessible by railways through Belgharia and Baranagar Road Stations, and by buses plying along Barrackpore Trunk Road. The bus terminus is 5 minutes walk from the southern gate of the College. The campus, therefore, combines a quiet natural surrounding with easy accessibility.

Bhairab Ganguly College is co-educational and offers three-year degree courses in all three main streams of Humanities, Science, and Commerce. Since 1997-98, vocational courses in Advertising, Sales Promotion and Sales Management, sponsored by University Grants Commission (UGC), was introduced at the degree level. The college session begins on 1st June of every year and ends on 31st May each year.

The College has also introduced computer training courses in collaboration with Webel Informatics Limited, a Government of West Bengal undertaking. The courses are primarily meant for the students and the ex-students of the College. However, students who do not belong to this college are also entitled to apply, under special recommendation from the college authority.

[edit] History

Sometime in 1955, Sri Jibandhan Ganguly, a renowned social worker and educationist from Belgharia, donated about 11 bighas of land to the West Bengal Government for the setting up of a degree college in Belgharia for the teaching of arts, science, and commerce. The primary objective was to provide higher education opportunities for boys and, more particularly, for girls in the industrial area of Belgharia since it was inconvenient to continue higher education in Kolkata. The College came into being on 3 September 1968.

The Government subsequently merged the Arts Section of the Vivekananda Centenary College with the newly established Bhairab Ganguly College, and this came as a booster to the new institution as a good number of experienced teachers joined the College.

The College has had to cope with an unprecedented rush of students ever since its inception and in 1969, it opened an Evening Commerce Section to meet the demand for Commerce education. However, this was subsequently merged with the day session in 1980.
