Mahalik Principal BAHARAGORA COLLEGE, BAHARAGORA: SSR: 2017 Page 3 Preface Born out of the visions of a great social worker dedicated to education, Baharagora College, Baharagora is a symbol of the painstaking efforts of Late Haradhan Ghosh, an eminent social reformer and ex-MLA of Baharagora Assembly. The college was founded at a time when there was an urgent need of an institution which could provide higher education in the locality and where there were near about twenty five high schools running under the government of Jharkhand, but with no college where the children of the society would get the benefit of higher education. This college is situated in tri-junction of the border of the states of Jharkhand, Odisha & West Bengal. Thus naturally it has inherited the versatile cultural heritage and occupies the social imprint of three adjoining states. As the name itself suggests, Baharagora College is a unique college of its kind in the state. It initially started in “Baharagora Balika Middle School” from July 1969 with 150 students, 07 teachers, 01 clerk and 01 peon. In 1970 the Ranchi University granted its affiliation for Pre University examination. In 1971 Bihar Intermediate Education Council, Patna granted its affiliation for Intermediate Arts and Commerce. Commerce started in 1977. In 1979 the Ranchi University granted its affiliation up to Degree level in Arts and Science in 1982. On 24th November, 1980 it became a constituent unit of the Ranchi University.
