History
A couple of months after Independence, on November 2, 1947, a clan of eminent personalities, educationists and visionaries of Naihati ( Barrackpore Subdivision, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal) sat together and came in agreement of setting up a college after the name of Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, the litterateur who gave the country the National Song.
At the very beginning, Rishi Bankim Chandra College did not have a space of its own. Classes started at the building of Naihati Mahendra High School on January 15, 1948, in the evening hours.This the day has ever been observed as the college Foundation Day. In June 1948, the college was shifted to its present premises, situated within a furlong from Bankim Chandra's ancestral home at Kantalpara (at the eastern side of Naihati railway station), as the then Executive Committee purchased the present plot of land from "Medland Bose & Co." a labour-contractor firm that used to use the land as a transit point for coolies destined mainly to the north-east tea gardens.
For the sake of better management and more intensive monitoring of the value-based education, the college was trifurcated on July 13, 1984 and two more colleges with independent entities, namely, Rishi Bankim Chandra College for Women and Rishi Bankim Chandra Evening College, were born. [2] [3]
