About Narsinghpur College, Narsinghpur

When Narasinghpur deserved a College and the people needed it, they had it. Pious and propitious were indeed the moments of that memorable day, the 31st day of December, 1978 when the temple bells tolled and the entire atmosphere of Narasinghpur overflowed with their resounding resonance to open the gate-way of this shrine of higher learning. Befittingly Dr. Radhanath Rath, the Editor of "The Samaj" and a noble and notable son of mother Orissa inaugurated the establishment of this College whose blessings have a cheering and an animating influence on the in-mates of this Alma Mater. The club-building of Narasinghpur where this institution was born and brought up, the benevolent public of this area, who have contributed their might, mind and money to its growth and the staff of the college who have rendered their service and sacrifice for it are not only historic records and names, but they awaken a sense of belongingness and a spirit of possessiveness to see the blue-print of progress for this institution. The 10th February, 1983 is a red-letter day in the history of this College as Dr. M.K. Rout, the then Vice-Chancellor of Utkal University inaugurated the new home for this College at Dalkhai, two kilometres to the east of Narasinghpur town. With beauteous forms and scenic landscapes all around and away from the maddening crowd's ignoble strife, this seat of higher education has been successfully and effetively imparting teaching to a large cross-section of human society in the length and breadth of the old Ex-State of Narasinghpur and even beyond.

The infant institution that developed with a meagre student strength of just 55 in the Intermediate of Arts class in 1978 has now blossomed into a full-fledged Degree College with Arts and Commerce faculties with the subjects History, Political Science, Economics, Sanskrit, Oriya, Education, Geography and Sociology.
