From the Desk of the Principal

The inception of Bakshirhat Mahavidyalaya traces back to the collective vision and aspirations of the residents of Bakshirhat Block, nestled in the north-eastern part of West Bengal within the precincts of Cooch Behar district, bordering Assam. In the pursuit of this longstanding dream, an Organizing Committee was established in June 1999 to spearhead the realization of this noble goal. Applications were diligently submitted to the Higher Education Department, West Bengal, and the University of North Bengal, seeking authorization to establish a college. The genesis of our institution commenced with the generous donation of six Bighas of land by Bakshirhat High School to the Organizing Committee. Subsequently, an additional three and one-fourth Bighas were acquired through the benevolence of local residents, facilitating the establishment of the college. The collaborative efforts of diverse members from various spheres of life further bolstered the creation of this educational establishment. Noteworthy milestones in this journey included a pivotal inspection conducted by the Higher Education Department’s Inspection Team on 28th March 2001, followed by the foundation stone on 08.12.2005 and momentous final approval granted by the Government Order (vide memo no. G. O. NO. 30-EDN(CS), dated 13th January of 2006  for the establishment of the college.
