The 15th of August being a holiday, the 16th of August has been officially declared as the Foundation Day of the College. This college is accredited by NAAC at A grade. The vision of the Founder of this educational Institute Late Srimat Swami Jyotirmoyananda was to spread Science Education initially among the boys and girls and to that end, he founded this co-educational Degree College, a temple of formal higher education, to later the needs of the local people particularly the people of the industrial belt of North 24 Parganas and to satisfy the national needs at large.
"Education is the training for a meaningful life and a continuous process for making of a complete human being enriched in Value Education."
As this institution was founded by a group of spiritual monk, we always concentrate our effort to imbibe among the students a sense of sacrifice, social awareness and respect for the proud Heritage of India.
