History

BakshirhatMahavidyalaya finds its roots in the shared vision of Bakshirhat Block’s inhabitants, nestled in the northeastern corner of West Bengal within Cooch Behar district, adjacent to Assam. To fulfil this longstanding ambition, an Organizing Committee was formed in June 1999 to drive the realization of this noble objective. Diligent applications were submitted to the Higher Education Department, West Bengal, and the University of North Bengal, seeking authorization to establish a college. The institution’s genesis began with Bakshirhat High School generously donating six Bighas of land to the Organizing Committee. An additional three and one-fourth Bighas were later acquired through the kindness of local residents, facilitating the college’s establishment. Diverse individuals from various walks of life collaborated to fortify the creation of this educational institution. Notable milestones in this journey include a pivotal inspection by the Higher Education Department’s Inspection Team on March 28, 2001, followed by the momentous final approval granted by the Government on October 24, 2005, sanctioning the college’s establishment.
