To boost the need of higher education a few distinguished education-lovers and dedicators of the locality, namely Sri Aswini Kumar Raj,Sri Lalbehari Bhattacharya Sri Radhakanta Mondal,Sri Manik ch. Mukherjee, etc. All came to the forefront to realize the dream.After hard and unflinching struggle these distinguished personalities and also the common people of the area and a few members of the Mondal family of Barjora Provided land and other requisite materials for the college.

However, this institution was initially started in the Barjora High School,later it was shifted to its own building in 1987 with a poor infrastructural facility.
