BNC, affiliated to West Bengal State University, is one of the premier institutes of higher learning under the Higher Education Department, Government of West Bengal. Established in 1984, it has grown and evolved to become one of the most esteemed and prestigious college in the state of West Bengal. The mainspring of BNC is the students whose holistic development and character building are the primary objectives of the institution. Experienced, dedicated, and inspiring faculty members of sixteen Undergraduate (Honours) and six Post-Graduate departments are ever committed to providing a safe, positive, intellectual learning environment that will empower students to become creative problem solvers, thinkers, and inspired learners. As most of the faculty members are actively engaged in research, students often get the opportunity to be acquainted with the required investigative skills. In the picturesque, serene campus of about eight acres situated at the nerve center of Bidhannagar (Salt Lake), the pursuit of academic excellence is complemented by a diverse range of extracurricular activities. Every student is encouraged to explore his / her untapped potentialities through these events – designed for adjustment, tolerance, and socialization. In addition to their personal development, students are continuously sensitized towards the preservation of natural resources and the college also ensures gender equality and social justice in its everyday practices. I am blessed to be a member of the BNC family. As the Principal, I will always remain available and accessible to all faculty, staff, and students. Working together, we will strive to maintain the legacy of this great institution and steer it to a greater future. I extend a warm welcome to the upcoming students. I hope all of you will spend enriching and the most memorable years of your life in BNC and make bonds lasting a lifetime. Dr. Sudip Kumar Ghosh Officer-in-Charge Bidhannagar College
