[ 4 ] Prospectus 2017 : J. K. College, Purulia Jagannath Kishore College, Purulia The College : A Brief Background The district of Manbhum under Bihar, now the district of Purulia in West Bengal, was lagging behind in every sphere of society, not to talk of education. The first modern school, according to Henry Rickets, was established in Purulia in 1853 in form of an English School. Water flew down Kangsabati for the decades. India won her freedom in 1947, and Jagannath Kishore College started its journey on 22nd July, 1948 as a private college affiliated to Patna Univer- sity, thanks to the enterprising efforts of people from all walks of society in Purulia. Jaharlal Basu, Jatin Dutta, Shyam Sundar Sinha Mahapatra, Dhiren Bhattacharya, Jagadish Mukherjee, Ashok Choudhury, Manmath Kuiry and others felt it to be an abiding necessity, as the proficient students from this economically challenged area could hardly afford to pursue higher education going over to Ranchi, Hajaribagh, Patna, Bankura or Calcutta. The dream of these enthusiastic people came true when Gokul Kumari Devi, the widow of Sri Jagannath Kishor Lal Sing Deo of the Kashipur Raj, donated a fund of One lakh rupees for the foundation of a centre for higher education in Purulia. Shankarlal Singhania, an eminent businessman of the time, contributed an amount of six- teen thousand rupees. A considerable amount of funds was also raised in form of public donation. The college was named after Late Jagannath Kishorlal Sing Deo, and it started with 109 students admitted to I.A. (Intermediate in Arts) standard with classes being held simulta- neously in the rooms provided by Haripada Sahitya Mandir and Union Club, Purulia. Later on the classes were shifted to Purulia Zilla School for a period, and, in the meantime, the college building was started at Ketika, Purulia at a land donated partly by Sri Nilkanthanarayan Singha, the provincial Lord of Nowagarh who provided 27 bighas, and partly at the adjascent land of 7.5 bighas donated by Shashadhar Choudhury and his co-sharers. The college functioned as a private college till it was recognized by the then Govern- ment of Bihar as a Govt. aided institution in 1951. The foundation stone for the present Arts Building of the main campus was laid by Sri Krishna Singh, the then Chief Minister of Bihar on 9th September, 1953, and the inauguration of this building was officiated by Sri Anugraha Narayan Singh, the then Finance Minister of Bihar, on 10th October the same year. The district of Purulia emerged on 1st November, 1956 after Bengal annexation, and the college came under Calcutta University. J.K. College was affiliated to The University of Burdwan in 1961, and in 1963 the college was taken over as a sponsored college by the Government of West Bengal. No less significant is the fact that J.K. College came under newly established Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University (SKB), Purulia from 2010. The campus office of this new University was J.K. College, and the building of the University is being built at a site at Ranchi road, on a land of some approximately 40 bighas donated by J.K. College to the SKB University, Purulia for this noble project in the year 2011. This is how J.K. College passed through sunshine and shower for 66 years to be now recognized as the premier institution in higher education not only in Purulia, but one of the best in West Bengal. The college was accredited by NAAC in 2005 and 2014. [ 5 ] Prospectus 2017 : J. K. College, Purulia Location and Campus : J.K. College is situated at Ketika which is in Ward No. 9 of Purulia Municipality. With a spacious campus of more than 50 bighas, well fortified, with big classrooms and wide corri- dors, a huge auditorium, gardens and ponds, hostels and a vast play ground with well-con- nected cinder-path. J.K. College is 1.5 k.m. from both Purulia Railway Station in South East- ern Railway and Purulia Bus Stand, enjoined with the township through the bypass that connects itself with NH 32. J.K. College, Purulia boasts of well-equipped Central Library and Laboratories, a fasci- nating E-class room, and 24 hours water-circulation system and generator facilities for the main campus. With adequate sanitary system, big trees and medical unit, the college makes no compromise with hygienic safe guard. Administrative Building, Teachers' Common Room, Guest House, Non-teaching Common Room, Students' Common Room for both Boys and Girls, and Canteen and Gym, J.K. College campus is ideal for a budding mind to develop naturally. The river Kangsabati (popularly known as Kansai) is not far away, and the distant glimpse of the peaks of Ayodhya hills enhance the effect of the beauty of the campus. Aims and Objectives : The logo of J.K. College, Purulia is 'Shraddhaban Lavate Gnyanam' meaning 'those who are full of respect and humanity can alone achieve true wisdom'. The pursuit of knowledge, theoretical and practical, technical and spiritual, is meant for the full efflorescence of the personality. We believe in the ethos of Swami Vivekananda that education is manifestation of the perfection already in man. We believe in quality, and we emphasize the importance of value-based education with an aim of enabling our students not just to became competitive in a worldly way, but also to make them responsive to and responsible enough for this global village. Our institutional mission is not merely to provide cloistered knowledge within the four walls, but to produce efficient and sensible citizens of the future who can adapt and acclimatize them- selves to the constantly changing social realities. We are happy with what we achieved, but there is no scope for complacence. We strive with the insatiable spirit of Ulysses for knowledge not yet acquired, and vistas not yet opened. We are always aware of the unbridgeable gap between dreams and realities. The pursuit, therefore, will be relentless. Our Vision & Mission lll Vision : Our vision is to actualize the long cherished dream of higher education of the inhabit- ants of Purulia, a so called backward district in West Bengal. This college is to be made instrumental in catering to the needs of the poor youths having rich latent potentiali- ties and in satisfying their thirst for inquisitiveness to a great possible extent. lll Mission : Ü To make our college a shrine in the temple of higher education.
