History

The college is named after the father of late Shib Chandra Banerjee, the well known civil engineer of all India repute who offered a munificent donation of land and cash to the West Bengal Government to enable the latter to establish a co-educational degree college under the "Sponsored" Scheme at his native village, Bagati. Bagati, the seat of the college, is located in an area that has a history of its own. Bagati is part of Saptagram - one of the oldest ports in India. The village itself is the native place of Ram Gopal Ghosh, the Demosthenes of Bengal. The scholar Jagannath Tarkapanchanan lived in Tribeni within a mile from the site of the college. The stretch of land along the Ganga from Katwa to Bansberia, lying on the eastern fringe of Bagati, is the birthplace of Navya-Nyaya, the most powerful and brilliant school of Indian Logic & Pride of Indian Scholarship. The college is located halfway between Tribeni and Magra, about a mile from both the railway stations on the Eastern Railway. The college is adjacent to old Trebeni-Tarkeswar rail line. It is also close to G.T. Road - India's oldest longest road and STKK road, locally called Assam Road. The village is surrounded by a vast industrial belt. The college at the outset was housed in the building of Ramgopal Ghosh High School, Bagati. It started functioning on 21 July 1958. It was shifted to the present three-storied building on 24 April 1959. The college has by now developed into one of the biggest institutions under the University of Burdwan. There are hostels for boys and girls within the campus. There is also a separate two storied building within the campus for the students' common room-cum-canteen. Professor Baridbaran Ghosh, Sunil Khan, Harisadhan Dey Adhikary, taught there. Currently, Dr. Jhantu Das, Dr. Banhibaran Ghosh,Dr. Uttam Paul, Debashis Ray Chowdhury, Dr. Sudipta Chakraborty Dr Shubhrakanti Sinha Dr. Animesh Das and others are involved in teaching. There are now a total of 66 full-time professors in three shifts and 25 SACT's.
