Our College was born on the 5th of March 1942 when the ongoing Second World War prompted the esteemed Calcutta Vidyasagar College to open two more campuses. One was at Suri, Birbhum and the other one was at Nabadwip, the erstwhile ‘Oxford of the East’. Up to 1948, the college functioned as a branch of the mother institution. It was housed at the Nabadwip Hindu School. A local committee comprising some eminent citizens of Nabadwip ran the fledgling institution, headed by Prof. Madhab Das Chakrabarty of Calcutta Vidyasagar College. Prof. J.K. Chowdhury took over as the Principal on 10.09.1948 when the college obtained an independent status, a full-fledged Governing Body, and a permanent affiliation with Calcutta University.
