“Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.”
-Swami Vivekananda.
These profound words by the great sage of this nation have been a source of motivation for this institution to work towards consistent development and enrichment of countless young lives. We strongly believe that the every one of us possesses the capability to achieve every height of excellence in every sphere of the society. Yet one requires the right education, environment, support and direction. Basirhat College aims to do exactly that. We leave no stone unturned in offering a multitudes of opportunities for our students for their holistic growth. We strive not only to train our students to become successful in their lives , we aim towards shaping personalities who are well balanced emotionally, who are capable to think critically and who are mature enough to accept even failure graciously. These aims are realised with the help and cooperation of an extremely efficient group of faculty members, an energetic squad of non-teaching staffs and an ever vigilant administrative team. It is their intense commitment that keeps the ethos of this institution shining brightly.
We strongly believe in inclusive education. That is why the doors of this college are open for students belonging to every gender, class, creed and religion. By inculcating the highest intellectual standard through dedication and discipline the college aims to enlighten and empower. We support an educational system that rests on a fine blending of interest and learning. That is why we offer both Honours and General courses in all three streams: Science, Humanities and Commerce. A recent achievement of this college is the opening of Post graduation course in the department of Bengali. While we take utmost care in running our academic programmes with sincerity and success we are equally aware of the needs of the modern times. Keeping that in view we have opened a “Woman development cell” that works towards sensitising our students towards gender issues. We successfully run a “Career counselling Cell” that offers proper guidance to students to explore the best possible career options. We also invest our time to run a “Remedial Cell” that provides classes to improve understanding of specific areas of study. Our priority is our students and their overall wellbeing. And to make this institution a safe and secure place for them we have opened “Internal Complaint Committee”, “Anti Ragging Cell” and “Grievance Cell”. These committees are working tirelessly to create a safer environment where the goals of education can be achieved without any hindrance.
Finally the message that is put forward from this desk is that the aim of Basirhat College is to set a standard of education, to impart a sense of integrity and justice and to promote hope and peace.
