About Mahishadal Girls College, Mahishadal

Mahishadal Girls College, the only one women's college in Purba Medinipur District, was established on 1st August, 1969. Some local affluent persons viz Late Dr Satyendranath Bhuniya, MB, Late Rabindranath Singha, Late Dr Haridas Sarkar, Late Gopal Chandra Mondal and many other eminent persons of the locality took the initiative to establish the college to spread the light of higher education among the women of this predominantly rural area. The college started its journey from a rented building in Rathtala, Mahishadal with a modest number of staff members and students. In 2003, the college was shifted to the picturesque surroundings of Rangibasan, about 1 km. away from its previous location. The college became affiliated to the University of Calcutta in July, 1969. At present, it is affiliated to Vidyasagar University.

In its long journey, the college has gone strength to strength and updated itself to live up to the expectations of all its stakeholders. The college has been accredited at B level by NAAC Peer Team in 2006. At present, it has become a premier women's college of West Bengal. Students from different parts of our state are being imparted higher education in this college. We hope to render our college into a Centre of Quality Learning with the combined effort of our staff members, students and well wishers.

The college attracts a considerable number of female students not only from purbo medinipur, but also from the adjoining districts. The college is well known for its brilliant academic results, strict discipline and various extra curricular activities. Since its commencement, Mahishadal Girls' College has proved its extra ordinary standards with an unique blend of academics, cultures, values and discipline. The college guarantees absolute attention and dedication towards an all round development of the students into responsible future citizens of our country.
