Initiative was taken by Radhagobinda Roy, founder Principal of the college and Ex- Minister, Government of West Bengal and many other eminent personalities of the town and the district. Fund was generated by the contributions of Ramnalini Chakraborthy, The Koley family of Bishnupur, Sri Anil Kumar Bhattacharya, members of the Friend’s Union Club and by the donations of the common people. The college was named after the famous son of the district of Bankura, Ramananda Chattopadhyay^[1] (1865-1943), noted journalist, editor and scholar. He was the editor, publisher and owner of the Modern Review,^[2] a high grade illustrated monthly published in English, and Prabasi, a Bengali organ,^[3] published in the vernacular. He was pre-eminently an editor although during his useful life he was associated in many reform movements.
