DESCRIPTION :

An educational institution of national importance¸ Bangabasi College had its genesis in the prophetic vision and spirit of sacrificial dedication of Late Acharya Grish Chandra Bose. Founded under private management in 1887¸ it had as its guiding inspiration the genius of Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. The aim of the institution was two fold : first¸ to cater to the growing demand for higher education and second¸ to nurture the spirit of nationalism in the minds of young learners under colonial yoke. At the same time¸ it marked an indirect protest challenging the narrow educational policy of the Hunter Commission.

This historic institution emerged seminally from Bangabasi School¸ founded by Acharya Girish Chandra Bose in 1885¸ in a rented house in Bowbazar Street with six teachers and twelve students. Offering at the outset¸ the F.A. Course¸ this college obtained affiliation for the B.A.¸ B.L. and M.A. courses to meet the requirements of an ever-growing institution. In 1930¸ the college moved into its present premises at 19¸ Scott Lane (now Raj Kumar Chakraborty Sarani).
