Ghatal Rabindra Satabarsiki MahaVidyalayaHistorically, in the pre-independence era, Ghatal P.S. and Chandrakona P.S. remained in Jahanabad (Arambagh) sub-division in Hooghly district and were included in Midnapore district in 1872. After the establishment of Ghatal sub-division in 1876, Ghatal P.S. and Chandrakona P.S. came under Ghatal sub-division and Daspur P.S. later on came under it in 1877. Ghatal and Chandrakona Municipalities established in 1869 and Khirpai & Ramjibanpur Municipalities established in 1876 came under Ghatal sub-division and Kharar Municipality later on established in 1888 came under it. Ghatal town as the headquarter of Ghatal sub-division became the centre of correspondence. Economically, Ghatal town developed through its river-way. Shilabati river, bisecting the town into two banks, confluences with Darakeswar at Bandar. The joint rivers in the name of Rupnarayan con?uences with Hooghly river at Gneokhali. As a river-belt town—it inherited a rich potentiality in agriculture, trade and commerce. lnspite of its rich potentiality, developed socio- economic condition, broad coverage with five municipalities, and thick population, Ghatal sub-division was deprived of an institution of higher education and learning.
Immediately after independence, the people of Ghatal established a college at Birsingha. lt came to function but unfortunately after 2 years. ceased to exist owing to some dim reasons. The situation aggravated and pressed the demand for a college in Ghatal sub-division. To ful?l the aspiration and demand of the people, a number of stalwarts, academicians and social workers came forward with a view to utilising extremely the human resources available in the area and the dream came true through the establishment of the college on 14th August, 1961, in the name of Rabindranath Tagore in his birth centenary year. In fact, in its embryonic stage, the college was not built by the patronage and donation of a single man or a few people. On the other hand, it might be said, without exaggeration, that it was built by the generous help of all people of Ghatal sub-division. Since the establishment of the college it started to walk from its rough plain and reached the pinnacle of its glorious existence through the expert and esteemed leadership of Sri Rabindranath Das,—the founder Principal of the college. The college was recognised in 1961 by Calcutta University. It was enlisted u/s 2(f) and 12 (B) of the UGC Act. Since the establishment of Vidyasagar University, the college permanently came under its jurisdiction. The college has completed 49th years of its glorious existence and already earned reputation as one of the leading centres of advancement of teaching and learning in the area. It is the demand of the time that the institution should show excellence in teaching and learning in the emerging areas of science & technology.
