founded by Acharya Girish Chandra Bose, the eminent educationist,
social reformer and agriculturist in 1887. The college is located

History
Acharya Girish Chandra founded Bangabasi School in 1885. The
school started in a rented house in Bowbazar Street with six
teachers and twelve students. The school was upgraded into a
college in 1887. Girish Chandra had served the college as its
Principal from 1887 to 1933, before he was nominated as Rector of
the college in 1935. The College got affiliation for B.A, B.L. and
M.A. courses to meet the requirement of the students. In the year
1903, the college moved to its present premises at 19, Scott Lane.
After that there was a steady growth of the college with the
introduction of the Honors courses in various subjects.
After the independence in 1947, three new branches of the
institution were opened which, later changed into Bangabasi Morning
College, Bangabasi Day College and Bangabasi Evening College. All
of them are housed in the same building, except Bangabasi College
of Commerce. The College became co-educational in 1979 and the
college authority opened another commerce department. 1947, the
year of India's independence, coincided with the diamond jubilee
year of the college. The celebration was inaugurated by
Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari, a lawyer, writer, statesman and the
second Governor-General of independent India.
