Chakdaha College affiliated to the University of Kalyani was born on the 21st of November, 1972 in the cradle of suburban Bengal and has grown over the years into a leading and prestigious UG academy Teaching Hons and General courses in Humanities, Science and Commerce subjects. By its academic discipline and a sustained record of toppers in almost all Hons courses it attracts and caters to the best budding talents of not only Chakdaha township but also of a vast hinterland that cuts across Nadia and other surrounding districts.
The best athletes produced by this college won national acclaim and even Arjun Award. From the playground of this college, athletes (in handicapped section) were sent to international sports meet at Busan (South Korea) and Malayasia, and they won distinction there. Performance of the college has even attracted campus selection – a phenomenon not very characteristic of non professional academics. Alongside Hons and General Degree courses, UGC sponsored Remedial Coaching and Entry in Services for SC/ST/OBC/Minority students, UGC-NRC, Career & Counselling are conducted on a regular basis.
In a serene landscape poster free walls and rooms provide an ideal ambience for study. Amenities like an auditorium, an open-air dais, surrounding fields and an adjacent stadium beckon the students into the arena of sports and culture. Sports and socials apart, activities like internally resourced seminars, departmental publications, felicitations of the best performers in University examinations and extra-curriculars, cultural festivals like ANTORJATIK MATRI BHASA DIBAS and SHAROD UTSAB, inter-State cultural exchange programmes distinguish this college from its peers.
