A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

Every big thing has humble beginning. Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya at Haripal, Hooghly (W.B.) too started its journey in its own small way in the year 1966, after being affiliated to the University of Burdwan in order to cater to the need of the adjoining rural community. It was started with the benign intention of imparting value based education on the initiative undertaken by the spirited freedom fighter, Pandit Dharanath Bhattarcharya. It was under his visionary leadership that a society known as ‘Vivekananda Samsad’ was formed in order to celebrate the centenary year of Swami Vivekananda. The Samsad started functioning on and from January 12, 1963 and its activities were mainly aimed at the socio-cultural and educational upliftment of the adjoining localities. It organized fund collections as well as land acquisition with the objective of establishing a college and Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya was formally opened at Haripal on the 8th day of August, 1966. Gradually, the college earned reputation as a graded seat of learning and has been able to provide almost 5000 students not only from the different parts of the district of Hooghly but also from the adjacent districts of Howrah and Burdwan.

The college in its own way tried to actualize Swamiji’s thought by giving the rural folk in and around Haripal, an opportunity to illuminate their minds by establishing an institution of education at their doorstep. Following the progressive thoughts of Swami Vivekananda, Pandit Dharanath Bhattacharya intended Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya to function as a beacon to the rural youth so that they become brave and worthy citizens of tomorrow. Thus, the mission of the institution from the beginning has been ‘Atmanam Vidhi’ i.e. ‘Know Thyself’.

Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya at Haripal, Hooghly is affiliated to The University of Burdwan in terms of the University communication No. I/C/2067(4) /66 dated 08.08.1966 w.e.f. 1966-67 academic session. Now it has been running with the faculties of Arts, Science and Commerce in the Morning and Day Shifts and observed the “Golden Jubilee” Closing Ceremony on August, 2016. The college has been reaccredited by NAAC in March, 2015.
