Shibpur Dinobundhoo Institution (college) Howrah

After 1947, post-colonial and independent India witnessed the emergence of a reorganization of higher education in the country, radically different from the colonial perspective and perception, our national leaders adopted a wider perspective on the character of higher education in free India: 'to provide a coherent picture of Universe and integrated way of life'. The Radhakrishnan Commission (1948) laid down aims and objectives of Higher Education: i) transmission of intellectual and ethical knowledge of humanity to the young: ii) enrichment of this heritage. iii) extension of the boundaries of knowledge; and iv) promotion of social values and virtues.
It is pertinent to note that one position of our institution is more than 100 years, in fact 111 years, to be accurate.
Fragmented historical records show that Mohandra Lal Sarcar, the one of greatest scientist of pre independence era, during his last four years of his life (i.e. from 1901 till his death in 1904), he emphasized in a series of public lectures on the establishment of Colleges for pursuit of science.
His endeavor , as a pioneer of popular science, had a reflection in erection of a room as an extension of the then Shibpur Dinobundhoo Institution (School - Main) which was established in 1874 in Howrah district , dedicated for cultivation of science in 1909. [ Source : Chittabrata Palit : ' Mahendralal Sircar and the National Science movement ' (Kolkata, 2009; pp 35-38).
The Tablet of his donation is still inscribed on the wall of this heritage room ( now room no. 17 of the College ) [CD already attached]. Subsequently the room/hall was named after him.
Subsequently, with the initiative of Prof. Bijoy Krishna Bhattacharya , a well known freedom fighter, Satyagrahi, and the President of the Managing Committee of Shibpur Dinobundhoo Institution (School), proposed in a Managing Committee meeting in 1947 that Intermediate Classes may be started in this extended room (which was erected in 1903) of the school building under the newly founded College of the same name which was adjacent of the School.
Since, then, the College has moved forward; it had a chequered history of growth and expansion.
