Price On RequestWith 214 students in the Intermediate course, 18 lecturers and 3
demonstrators, the College began its journey with a motto, "Charaiveti",
(March Forward) to meet in a modest way the increasing demand for every
type of higher education and to impart a synoptic vision of the
different streams of knowledge. The mission at the time of foundation
was to extended opportunities for higher general education among the
middle class population of Shibpur in South Howrah (roughly 15 Municipal
Wards of the Howrah Municipal Corporation at present). The major
portion of its area is traditionally, inhabited by middle class
Bengalies; but some parts of this region has a cosmopolitan demographic
character on account of the location of the S.E. Railway colony, the
jute mills and adjacent slums etc. However, the initial demand for
higher education came from the Bengali speaking community for various
socio-economic reasons; and it was not possible for all local students
to go to Calcutta for higher education. From the economic data available
in different census reports, it has also been found that this region
has a middle and low income profile.
