The College has reached its high level of excellence due to the dedicated team work of the teaching, administrative and assisting staff members and also support and encouragement from the Governing Body and above all administrative and financial support from the Higher Education Department, Government of West Bengal.  

During its long journey of 70 years, the College has nurtured the vision of excellence through continuous modernisation of the teaching learning process aided by research and all other academic pursuits.
