About Panchakot Mahavidyalaya, Purulia

Panchakot Mahavidyalaya has been established in the month of September 2000, mainly on the strength of public donation. The establishment of the college owes a lot to the generous help and active co-operation of the local people and the dedicated efforts of some visionaries of the district of Purulia. Special thanks are due to the Government of West Bengal and The University of Burdwan for their spontaneous positive response that effectively materialized in the establishment of this long dreamt institution of higher education. Thanks are also due to those who have generously donated their valuable land and money to this noble purpose. We must mention the generous sanctions from University Grants Commission, Higher Education Deptt, Govt. of West Bengal, MPLAD & BEUP schemes, Zilla Parishad, Purulia, Backward Class Welfare Deptt, and District Youth Office, with which a major portion of the infrastructure is build or under construction. We have been accredited by NAAC with grade-Bwef 04.03.2015.

Panchakot Mahavidyalaya finds itself within the picturesque surroundings near the foothills of “Panchet Pahar‟ at the northernmost of the district of Purulia. Physically it is located at Sarbari More beside Purilia-Barakar Road on one side and Panchet-Madhukunda Road on the other. The nearest railway station, Madhukunda is about 5 Km. from the Mahavidyalaya. The Campus of the College contains about 8 acres of land on which the tri-radiated two-storied building of about 48000 sq ft is located centrally.
