Raiganj University is a public state university in Raiganj, Uttar Dinajpur district, West Bengal, India. It is the oldest higher educational institution in the North Dinajpur district. This institution was elevated to the status of a public state university on 3 February 2015 by an Act of the West Bengal legislature after functioning as a constituent college of the University of North Bengal for a long time. This university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral level courses in liberal arts. With the partition of India based on the religious line, many people came over to the border district erstwhile West Dinajpur and Raiganj provided many of them with food and shelter. The education of their children was a necessity for these uprooted people to change their fortune. At this point in time, few educationalists and social thinkers of this small town felt the necessity of building a college for higher education in this backward region. Late Sukumar Guha and Late Nirmal Chandra Ghosh played a very important role at this time. Because of their effort, a meeting was organized among the local eminent and interested persons to establish a college for higher education. Everyone in this meeting unanimously decided to establish a college for higher education and appealed to the peoples to donate land and money for this purpose. The college was then formally opened in 1948 as an affiliated college of the University of Calcutta. More information...
