Because of its Geographical proximity to the famous pilgrimage centre, Tarapith, and for its booming mining industry and brisk business in the locality, Rampurhat is well connected to the capital city of Kolkata, to the North Bengal and even the smaller states of the North East. It is also now connected to the farthest South of the country .
The college is situated in a pleasant and peaceful environment having an area of more than eleven acres . The Railway station is Rampurhat and it is only ten minutes walk from the college. The N.H-60 , bifurcating the town, is only one k.m. away and regular and frequent bus services are available facilitating the communication for the students and guardians alike. The beautification of the college campus is under process.
Though our college is one of the oldest colleges in the district, some persistent and nagging problems put a hindrance before it to develop its infrastructure required for smooth imparting of knowledge. Admittedly, most of the students are from the disadvantaged sections of society, who are in need of personal care and nourishment. But given the large number of students it has become almost impossible for the teachers to take care of them at a personal level sufficiently. Despite this many of the teachers encourage them to attend their classes regularly and take lessons from them seriously. This teacher-taught relation instills in them a kind of confidence which, we hope, will bear fruit in very near future.
Apart from academic activities our college has taken initiative under the leadership of our management for conserving energy by installing solar panels on the roof top of our main building.
