At A Glance

With the march of time and change in attitude and outlook for broadening the intellectual horizon of the vicinity, Kishorenagar ultimately got its own language to expose its full identity, pride and glory when, setting aside many absurdities and trampling down insurmountable difficulties, many educationists, social activists, and eminent personalities hailing from various walks of life with co-operative assurances of the toiling masses , flamboyant youth and enthusiasts came out with much confidence, vigour and enthusiasm, a sense of devotion and dedication, an ample amount of goodwill and generosity to build up, nourish and patronise a college for catering to the needs of higher education of the people of this area. The long-felt need for higher education ultimately took its concrete shape in the year 1979 when the college christened as “Kishorenagar College” took its birth thus kindling a new hope to open up a new vista of knowledge in future. So mental unfolding giving birth to intellectual bud-time in the area.

So goes the story in fulfilling the emotions and aspirations of the people. Initially it started functioning in chintamani Vidyapitha on 01.01.1979. Because of inadequate accommodation to house the college, it was shifted to its own campus in 1985. Since then it has been playing a prominent role in catering to the growing requirements of the aspirants for the higher education. Amidst all trials and tribulations it has now completed 33 milestones of its eventful life.

The College is situated at the heart of Kishorenagar (Previously headquarters of Kishorenagar constituency)5 kms away from Somepur on Cuttack-Paradeep state Highway. It is unique in itself where one will feel lost in the masses of students, and a clean and compact campus. A pucca road in the campus leading to the college Administrative Building with Biju Pattanaik library housed upstairs stands as a testimony to the lofty altitude and status the college has achieved from its nascent state. So a fine blending of anxiety and curiosity.

The river Mahandadi encircles the college in the north. The gentle breeze from the north brings many new messages for soothing hearts of many for intellectual enrichment. The vast expanse of green fields in the south provides a panoramic view. It will be dubbed as unduly stubbornness and awefully repulsive if the inner sanctity and beauty of the college is not given vent to. A lively and vibrant environment in the campus contributes to wholesome development of the students. The institution nurtures itself in the lap of lush green environment that speaks about the unstinted devotion of the college to figure out the destines of the students. The statue of Late Sri Gopabandhu Das in the campus facing the main entrance creates a sense of reverence in the hearts of each and all. To speak spade a spade, the very touch of this kind of beauty comforts one’s heart, elevates one mentally and morally, moves away the pal of darkness from one’s spirits and enables one to shed his despondency and regain his happiness. Away from the clamour and din of the bazaar, if the truth be told, it provides a perfect setting to unravel the inherent traits of the individual attributes.
