College in a Village? This year Krishna Chandra
College, Hetampur, has completed 115 years of its existence. It was
founded by Maharani Padma Sundari Devi, wife of Maharaja Ramranjan
Chakraborty, in the name of her father-in-law Raja Krishna Chandra. Before
the formal start of its functioning, the college got in 1896 the seal of
approval from the University Of
Calcutta to teach the First Art course. For about 25 years, the college
functioned as an intermediate College. In 1923, it obtained the permission
to teach B.A course. In 1956, the college becomes a Govt.-Sponsored
Institution. In 1958, the B. Sc course was open. Since the early sixties,
the college began to open Honours courses, one after another, and now it
has 12 Honours departments and one General Department (Geography) besides
B. Com General faculty---not a mean achievement for a college located in
rural
area.
Quite a number of celebrated teachers and scholars, e.g. Dr. Biman Behari
Majumdar, Sri Anirban Roy, Prof. Debipada Bhattacharya, Prof. Jati Kumar
Sengupta etc. started this professional carrier in this college. From the
long list of bright students of this college, a few names may be picked up
namely Srikumar Bandopadhyay, Prof. Ramaranjan Mukhopadhyay, Dr. K. N.
Chatterjee. Since 1996-97, the centenary year of the college, we have got
a new semblance of this institution under the aegis of different
Govt.-grants Sanctioned in favour of our college. A new library building
and a new teacher's common room have added new plums to our cap. Recently
the college has received a huge grant from the UGC for the construction of
Girl's Hostel and proposals for an auditorium and a cultural stage have
also been considered by the authority
concerned.
Although situated in the rural area, the college is easily reachable. The
road that passed by the village is now elevated to the status of National
Highway and the number of buses plying on its sufficient. The climate is
salubrious and distance from the dean and hustle of city life lends a
rural liveliness to the environment. The construction of the Bbkreswar
Thermal Power Project, only a few miles away, has added a new dimension to
the economy of the area.
