Syamsundar College

of West Bengal Abdus Sattar, Kalipada Mukherjee and Prafulla Chandra Sen and renowned freedom fighter such as Jadabendra Nath Panja helped a lot in establishing the college at Shyamsundar.

Prafulla Chandra Sen, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal was selected as the first president to the Governing Body of the college.

In 1952, on Bisalaksha Basu's special request, Sri Fakirdas Bandyopadhyay, ADPI of undivided Bengal joined as the principal of the college.

Sri Bandyopadhyay, a close associate of famous poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, was a scholar of Philosophy with foreign degrees and an able administrator with imposing personality.

Contribution of Sri P. C. Sen was no less significant in this direction, as he successfully convinced the then Chief Minister Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy about the urgency of a Degree College in this locality.

Visionary sight of Bisalaksha Bose was to make this institution a university, but his dream remained still unfulfilled mainly due to communication hurdles.
