Welcome Message from the Principal Desk
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Pranab College, formerly known as Pranabananda Women’s College. Established in 1991 by our esteemed founder secretary, the Late Manik Bhattacharjee, our institution has been a pillar of education for women for over three decades. We are proud to be managed by the Bharat Sevashram Sangha, a philanthropic organization dedicated to the upliftment of society through education and service.
In 2024, we embarked on an exciting new journey by transforming into a co-educational institute, opening our doors to students of all genders. This evolution reflects our commitment to inclusivity and our belief in the power of diverse perspectives in enriching the learning experience.
Throughout our history, countless women have graduated from our college, making significant contributions across various sectors. We take pride in their achievements and remain dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders. Today, as we navigate an increasingly dynamic and complex world, we remain committed to our core values of academic rigor, character building, inclusivity, and innovation. We believe that education must not only inform, but also transform. Our goal is to create an environment where our students are encouraged to think critically, act ethically and lead with confidence.
At Pranab College, we cherish our past, celebrate our present, and prepare for a future where our students contribute meaningfully to society as scholars, professionals, citizens and human beings. We remain deeply committed to our founding ideals of academic excellence, inclusivity and social responsibility. Our mission is not only to impart knowledge but also to cultivate critical thinking, compassion and confidence in every student who walks through our gates. In an ever-changing world, we strive to nurture young minds who are not only well-educated but also empowered to lead with integrity, courage and conviction.
Our college continues to grow with new opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, research and innovation with ICT-enabled classrooms, a well-equipped computer lab, a central library enriched with rare archival materials and modern digital resources and an environment conducive to holistic growth. We aim to provide our students with the tools to excel in every sphere of life. In keeping with the National Education Policy 2020, Pranab College emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, value-based education and experiential pedagogy. We are proud to support a vibrant student community engaged in projects, internship, outreach, debate, fine arts, and NSS activities.
Our campus is designed to provide a conducive learning environment, featuring lush greenery. Our experienced and dedicated faculty members are committed to nurturing talent and equipping students with the skills necessary to thrive in today's dynamic world.
We invite you to join us at Pranab College, where we are dedicated to fostering a bright future for all our students. Together, let us embrace our college motto: "Educate, Encourage, Enlighten."
I invite you to be a part of this journey of learning, growth, and transformation.
