Raja Peary Mohan College has been
a torchbearer of higher education in the
district of Hooghly since 1887. However,
even after 130 years, the core values that
guided the ideals of the founders of this
college haven’t changed much. We remain
committed to follow the path shown by
them, yet have kept pace with the changing
times. Today, the college with a glorious
past has truly evolved into an institution
with modern facilities. In the streams
of Humanities, Science and Commerce,
the overall result of our College is
among the best in the University. With
the harmonious confluence of age-old
tradition and modernity, our College is
offering a wholesome education which is pragmatic, eco-friendly and job-oriented.
The University of Calcutta has already introduced the CBCS system which has
proved beneficial to the student community. Our College is adequately equipped to deal
with the changes in curricula and methodology. We have very competent, erudite and
dedicated faculty who always strive for the betterment of the students. We also try to
provide our students exposure beyond the academia through activities like NSS, Eco
Club etc. which help them to diversify and make a real difference in the society at large.
Our College has a great track record in providing support to Government Scholarship
program like Kanyashree and Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means Scholarship. I wish
every student to have a fruitful and rewarding association with the institution.

THE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Raja Peary Mohan College was established on 20th June 1887 under the visionary
leadership of Babu Joykrishna Mukherjee, a benevolent zamindar of Uttarpara and
a foremost social reformer of 19th century Bengal. At the time of its establishment, the
college was known as Uttarpara College. In 1889, the newly established college was
amalgamated with Uttarpara Government School and came under the management of
Bengal Government. Eight years later, the Government retained only the management of
the school while the college came under the benevolent patronage of Raja Peary Mohan
Mukherjee, worthy son and successor of Babu Joykrishna Mukherjee.
The sad demise of this great benefactor of the college in 1923, however, did not
lead the College to a cul de sac, for his son, Kumar Bhupendra Nath Mukherjee, who
inherited the Renaissance idealism and reformative zeal of his grandfather and father, took
over the patronage of the College. In 1932 when a decision was taken by the Governing
Body to close down the College, the teachers and the non-teaching staff together decided
to work voluntarily and set an example of extreme self-dedication against the closure.
Acharya Dhruba Kumar Pal, the then Principal of the College, gave dynamic
leadership to this movement at that critical juncture. Local citizens and ex-students came
forward with donations to save the College from the proposed closure. Representations
were made to the Bengal Government. Finally, after a long period of hardship, on 21st2
August 1938, a team including ‘Sher e- Bangla’ A.K. Fazlul Haque, the then Chief Minister
of Bengal, visited the College and a financial grant was approved by the Directorate of
Public Education of Bengal. After the demise of Acharya Dhruba Kumar Pal, Prof. Kiran
Chandra Gupta took charge of the College as Principal in 1950. He and his colleagues
devoted all their energy to raise the status of the College. In a function held on 4th October
1953, the College was renamed ‘Raja Peary Mohan College’ after its benefactor.
The College got affiliated to the University of Calcutta for B.A. in 1955, for B.Sc.
in 1956 and for B.Com in 1958. In 1960, the affiliation of the College was transferred to
the University of Burdwan. Later, after a number of protest meetings and demonstrations
against this move, the College came back once again under the affiliation of the University
of Calcutta in 1966.
The College has gradually occupied a glorious position in the field of higher
education in West Bengal. The College administration, teaching and non-teaching staff
and the students work in tandem to build up an ideal environment in the field of higher
study which is the real strength of this esteemed institution.

INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE CELL (IQAC)
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was initially formed as
an autonomous body to assess and accreditate all higher education institutes in India
for quality sustenance and quality improvement of higher education, under certain
parameters. It is being presently monitored by MHRD, Government of India, keeping its
autonomous status unchanged.
The College hosted the NAAC Peer Team visit for the first time on 2nd and
3rd August 2005, for its assessment and accreditation, under Dr. Bulbul Thakur, the then
Coordinator of NAAC Committee. The College was accredited by NAAC with Grade
B++ and score 83%. Subsequently, after the 1st assessment, the NAAC emphasized on
the establishment of an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post accreditation
quality sustenance activity.
The primary aim of IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent
and catalytic action to improve the academic and administrative performance of the
institution. IQAC ensures continuous improvement in the operation of the institution as
also accountability among the stakeholders.
The functions of IQAC are:
• Development and application of quality benchmarks/ parameters for the
various academic activities of the institution.
• Dissemination of information on the various quality parameters of higher
education.
• Organization of workshops, seminars on quality related themes and
promotion of quality circles.
• Documentation of the various programmes/activities leading to quality
improvement.
• Preparation of the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) to be submitted
to NAAC based on the quality parameters.
Accordingly, an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was formally constituted
with Dr. Kuntal Mukhopadhyay, the then Head of the Department of Political Science,
as coordinator in 2006. Thereafter, Dr. Sanjukta Bhattacharyya, Associate Professor of
Philosophy, took over the charge as coordinator, IQAC of Raja Peary Mohan College.
The College proceeded for re-accreditation by NAAC for the 2nd phase under the co-
ordinatorship of Dr. Sanjukta Bhattacharyya. The re-accreditation was conducted by
NAAC during 10th-12th September 2014 and according to the new methodology the
College was awarded Grade B and CGPA Score 2.70 in the 4 point scale. So the college
was selected to receive RUSA Grant from the Central Government.
Currently, Dr. Santanu Rana, Assistant Professor of Zoology has taken over the
charge as the co-ordinator of IQAC of Raja Peary Mohan College.4 DEPARTMENTS AND FACULTY HUMANITIES STREAM DEPARTMENT OF BENGALI 1. Sukla Ghosh Choudhury M.A. Associate Professor 2.

COLLEGE LIBRARY
The Central Library of Raja Peary
Mohan College has a rich heritage.
Presently, the total number of books
in the Library is more than 30,000 and
every year there is a fresh purchase
of books from the UGC grants and
College fund. Being an old college, it
has a rare Book section of invaluable
books. The library catalogue is wholly computerized with library management software,
KOHA and institutional repository software, Dspace. This has enabled OPAC search to be
possible through LAN from any site beyond the library premises. The College has given
special effort in the development of library infrastructure so as to develop the students’
habit of regular use of library (both reading and borrowing). College is the member of
INFLIBNET of UGC (N-List and Shodhganga). It is also an institutional member of
NDL (National Digital Library). Open access(DOAJ/DOAB/DOAR) is provided in the
library for the interested students. Reprographic facilities can be accessed by the students
through photocopy machine installed in the library.
LIBRARY RULES:

to be denied access to the library.

MS TEAMS
Raja Peary Mohan College has done an online integration of Microsoft Teams and Office
365 Education package. The college has mapped every student and provided them with
unique Microsoft office 365 powered User ID that has their college ID. Every student has
been integrated into a team for seamless online classes. All teachers have been provided
with Microsoft office 365 powered User ID. The platform is being used routinely for
online classes and webinar.
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform within the Office 365 Suite where teams
connect through shared notebooks, chat sessions, virtual meetings, and resource sharing.
Using both Microsoft and non-Microsoft tools, including hundreds of third-party
applications, teachers can create groups or classes that include any member of your
organization, making it a great fit for sports teams, clubs, and leadership committees (for
larger scale use, School Data Sync allows automated creation of classes). Learners can
share resources, work on projects, delegate tasks, and communicate their progress via
their Class Notebook, and teachers can create assignments and share files via SharePoint,
so students get individual copies.
Integration with other Microsoft tools, such as Outlook, SharePoint, PowerPoint, and
OneNote make this tool a hub for learning with just one login. However, if Teams is going
to replace your learning management system (LMS), you’ll have to rely on other tools
for things like parent communication, efficient assignment submission and management,
and better grading capabilities.
A MS support group has been set up in the college to facilitate seamless integration.
