Vivekananda College is one of the pioneer educational institute in the south western fringe of the city of Kolkata to inculcate value-based and principled education among the young population of a vast stretch of area. Nurturing students by a bunch of experienced, knowledge packed and energetic teachers is the strongest and the most valuable resource of Vivekananda College. Laboratories are well equipped with all necessary and best quality instruments and are controlled by well trained attendants. Our library is the best among the similar establishments, both in book resource and its ambience. Vivekananda College stated sailing in a definite direction on 21.08.1950, with subjects, viz. English, History, Bengali, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Within a short spell of time, huge student pressure as well as demand for opening of newer subjects forced the then authority to expand the academic periphery of the college. As a consequence, new departments such as Computer Science, Journalism, Statistics and Electronics were established. Recently, in 2008, we have marched further one step and as a result two more feathers were added to our crown. We received subject affiliation from Calcutta University in Biochemistry and Environmental Science. Biochemistry Honours course is taught in five or six colleges only under Calcutta University. The most unique feature is that we are the only college who offers Environmental Science Honours course under Calcutta University.
