In early fifties, though Kaithal was a good centre of trade and commerce, it lacked the facility of higher education. A large number of young boys and girls had to go to distant places for higher studies. In 1953,some prominent persons of the city decided to set up a college in Kaithal and made efforts in this direction under the leadership of a well-known philanthropist, Seth Makhan Lal Ji. Thus, a charitable educational society named as Rashtriya Vidya Samiti RVS came into being in 1954, which established the first college of the city “Radha Krishan Sanatan Dharam RKSD College.” The beginning was as an intermediate college in a rented building. In due course, it was shifted to a well designed campus spread over more than 10 acres of land with lush green lawns, fully air-conditioned and well-furnished seminar rooms, common rooms, rich library, playgrounds and state-of-the-art indoor stadium etc.

The laboratories are well equipped.
