History

History:

Government General Degree College, Kharagpur-II or GGDC KGP-II (as our institution is fondly called by its stakeholders) has made its presence felt in the academic map of Paschim Medinipur since its inception in June 2015. Fulfilling the vision of our honourable Chief Minister to provide education for all, our college caters to a large number of first-generation learners and meritorious students alike from the remotest parts of the district. Our students, therefore, have been regular beneficiaries of Kanyashree Prakalpa and various scholarship programmes such as Aikyashree, SVMCM, Nabanna Scholarship, OASIS, and Jindal Scholarship to name a few. These help our students pursue either higher education or better career prospects. This college, in its seventh year now, is UGC 2(f) recognized and affiliated to Vidyasagar University. The college presently offers bachelor degrees in Arts and Science subjects. At present, we teach five Major subjects in Humanities: Bengali, English, History, Philosophy, and Political Science, and four in Sciences: Botany, Chemistry, Physiology, and Zoology. The Minor subjects taught are Bengali, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Physiology, and Zoology. We have modern and well-organized laboratories, a well-stocked library, a gymnasium, a spacious playground and a smart classroom for the use of our students. Our college is noted for its cultural programmes and various outreach activities organized by the NSS unit.
