DESCRIPTION :

Maheshtala College was established on 11th November¸ 1971 to fulfill a long-cherished dream of a few visionaries in the Maheshtala ? Nangi- Batanagar area of setting up an institution  to impart collegiate education to the students of the locality¸ who had no other alternatives¸ but to travel a long way for their higher education or to discontinue it midway.  Initially¸ the college got affiliation from the University of Calcutta for 3 - year degree and Pre-University course in Arts only. Classes were held in Sarengabad High School and it was only later that the college shifted to its present campus¸ set up partly by government funds ¸ donations in the form of money and labour from local people¸ teachers and staff and a lot of hopes and aspirations for a better tomorrow for their children. The founding members emphasized more on reaching out to a large section of students rather than on academic excellence¸ which they believed would eventually follow. Rather¸ the focus was on nurturing excellence in the young¸ impressionable human minds that would be mentored to achieve success in their later professional and entrepreneurial ventures and lead happy¸ healthy lives.
