Rajganj College was established in 2009 in the idyllic location of Rajganj, Jalpaiguri. Rajganj is an area that lays claim to a rich and ancient cultural history. It derives its famed diversity from the various communities of people that have populated the region over various phases of history. The myth of Debi Chaudharani, who still serves as an exemplar of female independence, abounds in Shikarpur, Mantadari, Sannyasikata, Belacoba, et al, all of which are located within Rajganj. Bound by the rivers Teesta, Talma and Korotoa, the folk culture of Rajganj has gained an entirely different dimension. To realise the dreams of higher education of the students of this area, Rajganj College was set up on 9th September, 2009, on the banks of the historical and mythological River Korotoa, which finds mention even in our ancient epics.

The long wait of the people of this region was rewarded in 2009 when this college was established through the tireless efforts of Rajganj Shiksha Prashar Samiti, with the motto of providing opportunity of higher education to under –privileged students of the area. The college which started with a student strength of just 150, today boasts of nearly 2000 students, most of whom are first generation receivers of higher education in their families. The college initially started, in the morning shift, at the Fatapukur Saradamoni High School. It received its own building on 01.12.2011, thanks to the contributions of Sri Mahendra Kr. Roy, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, Jalpaiguri and Sri Khageswar Roy, Hon’ble Member of Legislative Assembly, Rajganj. A second building, constructed by the North Bengal Development Department, was inaugurated on 24.07.2015 by Sri Goutam Deb, Hon’ble Minister-in-charge, North Bengal Development Department. The college, which continues to grow prolifically, currently offers B.A. Honours courses in Bengali, English, Philosophy, Education and History, and B.A. General courses in Bengali, English, History, Education, Philosophy, Political Science, Geography and Physical Education and Sociology. The various sporting teams of the college have developed a formidable reputation far and wide, with the football team emerging as the University Champion for session 2009 –2010, 2017-18 and State Champion for session 2016 –2017.
