A college is more than an institution of instruction. It is a historical and intellectual commons—a space in which knowledge, inquiry, reason, and social responsibility encounter one another in sustained conversation and principled disagreement. Anchored in the rich cultural and intellectual inheritance of Murshidabad, and shaped by the deep continuities of history, Berhampore College stands as a witness to a long and distinguished educational journey within the district. For over six decades, the College has carried learning across generations, extending its influence well beyond the classroom into society, culture, and the ethical imagination. Today, Berhampore College signifies not merely a location, but an intellectual orientation.

This legacy has been forged through the collective labour of a responsible Governing Body, successive principals of vision and integrity, a committed faculty, librarians, non-teaching staff, alumni, and—most crucially—our students, whose perseverance and quiet confidence continue to shape the institution. To me, Berhampore College is not simply an organisation; it is a living inheritance. Such inheritance confers not only pride, but an enduring obligation. Read More
