Harimohan Ghose College was established in 1963 to bring to the under-privileged sections of the population of Garden Reach-Metiabruz the fruits of higher education.

The motto of Haimohan Ghose College on its 50th year of existence has been lived upto or not is best left to the judgment of history. But to us, whose life is focused on the existence of this college, the past of the college definitely serves to remind us of that famous quote.’ Those who do not read history are condemned to repeat it’. So we take this occasion to present a brief history of Harimohan Ghose College.

The catchment area of this college is quite large with at least a dozen schools having Higher Secondary affiliation within the Borough XV in which the college is situated. So the college has never failed to attract students who are to complete their graduation in their chosen streams. Due to some sterling performances of students in certain particular subjects like Physiology, History, English, Urdu & Commerce a lot of students from areas like Behala, Khidderpore etc. have started to seek admission in the college giving the college a cosmopolitan ethos.

One of the abiding features of the college is that a sizeable portion of the students studying in the college are first generation learners and many of the students are female coming from Urdu speaking families. However, the college, true to the spirit of ‘Unity in Diversity’, is a melting pot where everyone forget their caste, creed, and kind and become one big family that is the family of Harimohan Ghose College.

The College has well equipped laboratories with state-of-art equipments, a well-equipped computer centre, a well-stocked library where books are purchased regularly, a 16 Station Gym and various sports equipment, which are used by the students under the supervision of the Student's Union.

The teachers of the college are not only competent but many of them are scholars of repute with numerous publications and research works. Some of them have publications with eminent publishing houses. But when it comes to teaching, the teachers devote themselves entirely to make their students not only acquire a high degree of knowledge in their particular subjects but also acquire ethical and practical skills that would make them contribute positively to the society.

However, the college does have its problems which it hopes would soon be eradicated by the active positive involvement of the Government of West Bengal. The college is always on the look-out for any philanthropic efforts, be it private or of the state to overcome all those which appear now as obstacles. The unity of the teachers, non-teaching staff, the students, the local well-wishers and the alumni of the college together with the transparency and honesty with which the college is presently functioning with all factions having the privilege to voice their opinion the college will definitely progress further.
