About Swami Vivekanand Govt PG College, Lohaghat

Swami Vivekanand P.G. College, Lohaghat was established in the year 1979 by the then Uttar Pradesh government. Thus, the foundation stone of a strong academic desire was laid. Starting under harsh circumstances and within limited resources, the college is now one of the premier institutions of higher education in the region. Since then it is engaged in rendering its services to provide higher education and making an endeavor for human resource development in an otherwise economically and educationally exterior region of Uttarakhand. Here, thinking minds build on their basics and blossom into dynamic professionals. The faculty members here are highly educated, experienced and competitive in their approach. The academic calendar has ample space for theoretical grounding and practical training of the students alongside co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Guest lectures, workshops and seminars are a regular feature at the institution.

The very first time students took class in the institution was on October 2, 1979. The college was then situated in the Meena Bazaar area of Lohaghat and offered courses only for Bachelor of Arts & Bachelor of Commerce programme. Due to the continued demand of the students, a new building was provided to the college at Rainagar area with much better facilities.
