College in a Village? This year Krishna Chandra College, Hetampur, has completed 119 years of its existence. It was founded by Maharani Padma Sundari Devi, wife of Maharaja Ramranjan Chakraborty, in the name of her father-in-law Raja Krishna Chandra. Before the formal start of its functioning, the college got in 1896 the seal of approval from the University Of Calcutta to teach the First Art course. For about 25 years, the college functioned as an intermediate College. In 1923, it obtained the permission to teach B.A course. In 1956, the college becomes a Govt.-Sponsored Institution. In 1958, the B. Sc course was open. Since the early sixties, the college began to open Honours courses, one after another, and now it has 12 Honours departments and one General Department (Geography) besides B. Com General faculty not a mean achievement for a college located in rural area.
Quite a number of celebrated teachers and scholars, e.g. Dr. Biman Behari Majumdar, Sri Anirban Roy, Prof. Debipada Bhattacharya, Prof. Jati Kumar Sengupta etc. started this professional carrier in this college. From the long list of bright students of this college, a few names may be picked up namely Srikumar Bandopadhyay, Prof. Ramaranjan Mukhopadhyay, Dr. K. N. Chatterjee. Since 1996-97, the centenary year of the college, we have got a new semblance of this institution under the aegis of different Govt.-grants Sanctioned in favour of our college. A new library building and a new teacher's common room have added new plums to our cap. Recently the college has received a huge grant from the UGC for the construction of Girl's Hostel and proposals for an auditorium and a cultural stage have also been considered by the authority concerned.
Although situated in the rural area, the college is easily reachable. The road that passed by the village is now elevated to the status of National Highway and the number of buses plying on its sufficient. The climate is salubrious and distance from the dean and hustle of city life lends a rural liveliness to the environment. The construction of the Bbkreswar Thermal Power Project, only a few miles away, has added a new dimension to the economy of the area.
Welcome Everybody.Vision of this institution is to making students cognizably sound and ethically strong so as to enable them to further the task of nation building. Mission of this institution is universal access to learning. These two cannot be simultaneously obtained because if quantity increases quality deteriorates. But a balance can be obtained in between these in respect of a focus to the population of our country, and percentage of educated people which is very low in comparison to other developing countries like us. With several perturbations present we try to do so in our institute particularly for those who come from socially backward and economically poor families. This college has a tradition with respect to its quality of teaching and number of graduates it produced when there was no college other than it in the district of Birbhum, W.B. Not only science teaching (once upon a time the college was designated as College of Chemistry), but also humanities teaching in different subjects like Philosophy, History, Bengali was at high level that can be compared with any premier college in the country. Different faculty members wrote books on their subjects like Political science, Philosophy etc that were very popular not only to the students of our country but also to East and West Pakistan presently Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively. Society changes in its own course of time. In present day guardians from every level of the society in our state has a trend to educate their wards at any means. This is good sign because it will increase the percentage of educated people of the country in future. This is not a new picture in West Bengal, because Bengalee people love education traditionally. In past, it was concentrated within the upper caste of the society; presently the new picture is that it has been wide spreaded that means it is penetrated within them who were ignored by the educated upper classes. Not only these people but also them who belong to minority community. We take the advantage of this changing society and use our faculty, associated staffs and infrastructure of the institution who make it wide spread within the society. Remedial coaching centre in the college is an additional impetus to enlight the students coming from reserved category.
