Barasat Govt. College

BarasatGovernment College was set up in 1950 and has since then catered to a wide cross-section of urban, sub-urban and rural students. Good connectivity by both rail and road makes it the foremost choice among the students of the district of North 24 Parganas. As a government college it enjoys direct government supervision, supportand grants.

However, the College owes its commencement to the post-partition need to rehabilitate the displaced immigrant population settled there through formal educationand subsequent employment. In 1950 the State Government selected the town of Barasat as the location for a new college for this purpose.The College has developed significantly ever since.
