It is about 20 km east of Arambag and 8 kilometers west of Tarakeswar. The place is well-connected to Kolkata and Howrah through bus routes and railways. From very early on, Champadanga had a steady economy based on the opulent vegetation of the area. But sadly for the local people, they missed out on higher educational opportunities. Fortunately, it was in 1961 and on the memorable birth centenary of Rabindranath Tagore that a group of social workers, businessmen, and educationists of the locality decided to set up a Degree College with a dream of bringing higher education to the doors of the locals.
