History

Berhampore Girls’ College is a distinguished academic institution known for its strong academic tradition and cultural values. Situated in the heart of Berhampore Town, the headquarters of Murshidabad District in West Bengal, the college has become a sought-after destination for students due to its prime location and academic excellence. 

Founded in 1946 by Prof. Amiya Rao, the institution's first principal and a champion of women's emancipation, alongside her husband Mr. B.G. Rao (I.C.S.), the then District Collector of Murshidabad, the college has a rich history. It celebrated its platinum jubilee (75 years) in 2020, a milestone marked by significant academic achievements. The college's motto, “Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye” (That is learning which leads to emancipation), is derived from the Vishnu Purana 1.19.41, emphasizing the pursuit of comprehensive knowledge systems at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. 

Initially affiliated with the University of Calcutta from 22nd June 1946, the college has been affiliated with the University of Kalyani since 5th February 1999, following the Kalyani University Amendment Act, 1998, as published in the Calcutta Gazette, Extraordinary. Berhampore Girls’ College is recognized by the University Grants Commission under sections 2(f) and 12(B), as per notification F.1-9/2003(CPP-I) dated 12th December 2003. 

In the second cycle of accreditation by NAAC in 2016, the college received a Grade B with a CGPA of 2.29. Over the years, the institution has diligently worked to adhere to NAAC recommendations and has implemented the NAAC Quality Indicator Framework to enhance its quality culture. Currently, the college has 18 departments offering 17 undergraduate and 3 postgraduate programs, along with various Add-on Courses that provide knowledge and skill-based learning beyond the university curriculum.
