Swarnamoyee Jogendranath Mahavidyalaya

The Bhaumik Family of Amdabad was instrumental in founding this college through their generous sacrifice, nobility, and all-out devotion to achieving this goal. Dr. Anindya Kisor Bhaumik, retired Principal and the youngest son of Swarnamoyee and Jogendranath Bhaumik, deserves special mention as he pioneered the establishment of this college in the revered memory of his parents and with the constant co-operation of his eldest brother Sri Amulyaratan Bhaumik, former Headmaster, social worker and freedom fighter; the second son Dr. Probodh Kumar Bhaumik, the former Head of the Department of Anthropology, University of Calcutta; the third son Sri Subodh Kumar Bhaumik, retired Headmaster; the second daughter Smt. Renuka Jana, a retired headmistress, and their sons and daughters. In addition, the donations, bounties, and multiple assistances of the neighboring families are highly appreciated. It must mention that the late Jogendranath Bhaumik, a great educationist, an immensely broad-minded man, and a social worker of great repute, led the way to spread education in backward rural areas by establishing as many as fourteen schools including the well-known Amdabad High School which originated during the British rule in India. To commemorate the memory of this visionary man and his wife Swarnamoyee, an ideal woman and a kind-hearted, affectionate mother, who was also the source of inspiration for all such benevolent activities, this college has been set up with a special view of enlightening this rural territory which had fallen behind in today’s race for progress and development.

The vision of this institution is to be an institution with an impeccable reputation for providing quality higher education to the underprivileged youth of rural Bengal. The idea is not merely to create good students, but also competent professionals and independent individuals who would inspire future generations.
