College History

Balurghat B.Ed. College is situated in the district town of Dakshin Dinajpur which is a border district and backward region of West Bengal. The area is agro-based and rural with scenic beauty, where economic activity varies with the variation of agricultural productions. The reminiscence unfolds the historical facts that the Independence of India, formation of East Pakistan and hence the partition of Bengal caused exodus of huge Hindu population from the then East Pakistan to India. Notwithstanding, the loss of valuable property, profitable business and profession, the Hindus left the then East Pakistan and entered India to get settlement. Balurghat being a border town, the growth rate of population rose from five thousand to 50 thousand in the year of Independence. As a result, along with, manifold economic problems, education figured a crisis process. The people of Balurghat had deeply felt the needs of a B.Ed. College since Independence for unemployed, untrained educated youths. The Balurghat B.Ed. College was established on 07.07.2004. Balurghat B.Ed. College is a non-profit, unaided self-financing Institution.
