ABOUT COLLEGE

Ours college is the oldest girl's college in the district of Bankura. The college had its inception in 1973 as a government sponsored college under the University of Burdwan, in order to promote education and culture not only among the young girls of the district, but among those of its adjoining districts as well. Subsequently the college was affiliated to Bankura University in January 2017. The college was venerated with the holy name of Sri Sri Maa Sarada. The objective for naming the college after Her was to preserve Her holy name in the museum of our recollection and follow Her noble ideals with hearts sincere and pure. Affiliation for admission of students to the General course in the Arts faculty was at first granted by the Burdwan University. Later the college was taken up by the Govt. of West Bengal under "Govt. Sponsored Scheme" with effect from 1st June, 1975. At present Honors courses in eight subjects in the Arts stream are going on which include Bengali, English, Sanskrit, Political science, History, Philosophy, Education, Music and in five subjects in the Science stream are going on which include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography and Economics. We have also introduced Regular PG courses in English, Bengali and History in our college under Bankura University from the Academic Season 2017-18 with 20 seat capacity in each department. Later on PG course in Music has been introduced from the academic session 2018-19 and PG course in Geography has been introduced from the academic session 2019-20. We feel proud to announce that the Govt. of India has sanctioned an amount of Two Crores through RUSA and sixty lakhs from MPLAD Fund, sanctioned by Ms. Shreemati (Moonmoon) Deb Varma, Honourable Member of Parliament, Bankura Constituency. We owe our gratitude to them for their benison, on behalf of the students and all those who benefit from this institute. It is worth mentioning that under financial assistance from the State Govt. and from the UGC we have already built five buildings in our campus. We take pride to state that a hostel building has been built in the campus with a special grant of about Rs. One Crore from the UGC in the financial year 2006-07 during the Xth Plan period which has recently been renovated and upgraded by utilizing MPLAD fund. We can jubilate for the open stage, decked with remnants of the culture of 'Raar Bengal', where different cultural functions of the college are held with great pomp and éclat. We havean indoor auditorium with space for nearly 500 guests and a well equipped Gymnasium for the students. We also rejoice having a modernized, well equipped, and fully air-conditioned seminar hall built with the financial help of RUSA. Moreover, we have a huge library with digital lending system, e-shelf and INFLIBNET facility. Moreover, two PG study centers have been running in nine subjects under the Directorate of Distance Education, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata, from the year 2006, and DDE of Burdwan University from 2013-14. Last but not the least, the college has been accredited with ‘A’ grade by the NAAC in 2015. Different activities for smooth running of the college are whole- heartedly taken up by all the staff members, both teaching and non-teaching, and also by the students.
