Ramnagar College

About Institution

Ramnagar is a land of Freedom Fighters.The people of Ramnagar played a note-worthy part in the country’s struggle for freedom.They took very active part in the Salt Movement of Pichhabani and suffered untold hardships at the hands of the British ruler. However,the area was educationally backward with virtually no facility for imparting higher education.This long-felt need was partly met with the setting up of Ramnagar College in 1972 which has been serving the cause of education with fair measure of distinction during the last 39 years.

Initially Ramnagar College was housed in the school-building of Depal Baneswar Charubala Vidyamandir.In those critical days,the founder-Principal Sri Sripati Charan Pradhan, with some benevolent charitable persons and land donors including some teachers and non-teaching personnel and local youth came forward and took initiative with missionary spirit and dedicating outlook to establish this college.Among the principal organizers of this college,mention may be made of Sri Nanda Kishore Ghose,Bar-at-law (the then President of this college),Prof.Rampada Panigrahi,Sri Surendra Nath Sahu (Ex-Head master of Depal Baneswar Charubala Vidyamandir),Sri Hemanta Kr.Dutta,M.L.A,Sri Anil Kr.Pradahan,Late Dr.Lakshmi Charan Pal,Late Balaram Das,Prof.Manomohini Maity,Prof.Sikhidhwaj Pattanayak,Late Rameswar Panigrahi,Sri Himangshu Sekhar Samants,Sri Lakshmikanta Das,Sri Jagannath Praharaj (Ex-Head Master),Paniparul Mukteswar High School,Late Dr.Mriganka Sekhar Maity,Late Abinash Chandra Das,Late Bankim Chandra Maity,Sr.D.C.Sarkar,B.D.O,Ramnara-II,LateP.B.Maity,B.D.O Ramnagar-I,Sri Aditya Chandra Kol,S.D.O.,Contai,the Administrator of Digha,Sri Dipak Kr.Ghosh,the D.M.,Midnapore and many others.
