A college built by the community, for the community
How a locality with no college of its own, and a visiting philanthropist's promise, became Sikandra's own institution of higher learning.
In the early 1950s, the Sikandra block was home to nineteen high schools but not a single college — a gap the area's intellectuals had tried, and failed, to close more than once. That changed when Late Shri Dhanraj Singh, moved by a proposal put to him at a local ceremony, agreed to lead the effort.
A public meeting held at the High School, Pirhinda on 7 February 1982 turned that promise into a movement, with residents pledging their support in person. Registration of more than fifteen acres of land followed quickly, and on Buddha Purnima — 7 May 1982 — Dhanraj Babu inaugurated the college building himself, a date the college now marks as its foundation day. Teaching began on 4 August 1982, across Arts, Commerce and Science from the very first session.
