S. N . COLLEGE, RAJKANIKA

About Institution

The College has got cheqered history, the pages of which unfurl a contracting record of rise and fall, success and failure.
Initially a science college in its inception in 1962, it full filled all conditions by depositing necessary concurrence and Affilation fees for Science subject in the University in the year 1967.
Thus the college took its origin in Giria Math House. Then continued a series of natural calamities the killer cyclone of 1967, the high flood of 1968 & 1969, the killer tidal bore of 1971. All these conspired together to shatter the financial back-bone of the people of the locality niping their hopes in the bud. The abnormal political situation of the later half of 1975 worsened the matter still further as the Govt. imposed a total ban on the opening of new college in Orissa.
But the indomitable urge of the people of Rajkanika to open the college got the better of the capricious whim of the Govt. ban. The people seemed to be awakened from slumber by the heroic call of Sj. Dibaker Jena the then sarpanch of Kantapara Gram Panchayat and within three months by the strenuous effort of some localities Rajkanika College actually came into being on SECOND OCTOBER 1975. Thanks to the benevolence of Late S.N Bhanja Deo whose good name was always associated with educational upliftment in Orissa that college got a donation of forty six thousand rupees in cash and six acres of land worth over one lakh rupees from him.
Time is fleeting. The loving memory of the dead alive whose endeavoures, ungruding dedication and timely support translated this popular desire in to action is still imprinted in the heart of the College. Time passes on but they are still glittering. The College still remembers the graceful inspiration, and all time enthusiastic approach of those devoted and eminent ruralites who rendered their heart and soul service to turn the dream a reality. The only thatched house situated in beween the massive structures is a silent wintness of by gone days, kudos to the noble gestures of the then M.L.A. Sj. Dologobinda Nayak whose good name is always associated with the progressive history of this College. But neverthless every one still believes this yet-to-be-what-it-should-have-been institution expects much from the political leaders, M.L.A. the Governing Body, the benevolent public the Govt. the U.G.C. the staff & the students.
After being a full fledged degree college it has attracted attention of the U.G.C. Now it is galloping towards perfection. It still goes on hoping against hopes that if winter comes, can spring be far behind, Moreove where there is a will there is a way."
