Mahishadal Girls' College

Mahishadal Girls' College, the only one women's college in Purba Medinipur District, was established on 1st August, 1969. Some local affluent persons viz Late Dr. Satyendranath Bhuniya, M.B., Late Rabindranath Singha, Late Dr. Haridas Sarkar, Late Gopal Chandra Mondal and many other eminent persons of the locality took the initiative to establish the college to spread the light of higher education among the women of this predominantly rural area. The college started its journey from a rented building in Rathtala, Mahishadal with a modest number of staff members and students. In 2003, the college was shifted to the picturesque surroundings of Rangibasan, about 1 km. The college became affiliated to the University of Calcutta in July, 1969. At present, it is affiliated to Vidyasagar University. In its long journey, the college has gone strength to strength and updated itself to live up to the expectations of all its stakeholders. The college has been accredited at B level by NAAC Peer Team in 2006. At present, it has become a premier women's college of West Bengal. Students from different parts of our state are being imparted higher education in this college. We hope to render our college into a Centre of Quality Learning with the combined effort of our staff members, students and well-wishers.
