[3] At the beginning of the 20th century, a need for a higher educational institute in the Asansol, an industrial metropolitan Centre, was felt.

Other eminent stalwarts of Society as well as the general people of different strata supported this noble endeavor by their generous donations for the establishment of a higher academic institution.

[4] In 1959-60, a renowned businessman of the locality, Sri Banwarilal Bhalotia (also a freedom fighter and a social reformer) magnanimously donated a plot of land of 20 Bighas towards a permanent building for this college.

In 1960, this newly constructed college building was inaugurated by the then Vice-Chancellor of Burdwan University, Sri S.K.

Arts and Commerce faculty consists of departments of Bengali, English, Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, History, Geography, Political Science, Philosophy, Education, Finance & Accountancy, and Business Administration.

Few honours courses, namely, Mathematics, Botany, Geography, Political science, and History are now open for Hindi medium students.
