Krishna Chandra College was established in 1897 in the heart of Hetampur village in the Birbhum district of West Bengal. It is the oldest college of the district to create an atmosphere of learning and pedagogy for the first time in this area. It was founded by Maharani Padma Sundari Devi, wife of Maharaja Ramranjan Chakraborty, in the name of her father-in-law Raja Krishna Chandra. Before the formal start of its functioning, the college got in 1896 the seal of approval from the University of Calcutta to teach the Arts course initially. For about 25 years, the college functioned as an intermediate College. In 1923, it obtained the permission to teach B.A course. B.Sc course was introduced in 1958. In 1956, the college becomes a Government-Sponsored Institution. In 1961, the institution was again affiliated with the University of Burdwan. Since the early sixties, the college began to offer Honours courses, one after another, and now it has 15 Departments in Arts, Science and Commerce streams which is not an insignificant achievement for a college located in rural area. Hence, propounding the idea of an all-inclusive and comprehensive notion of education without compromising with quality remains an important Vision and Mission of the college since its inception. The students are exposed to all fifteen subjects with B.A., B.Sc. and B.Com. (Honours) syllabus under Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), the students will study core courses, generic elective courses, skill enhancement courses and discipline courses in the span of three years (Six Semesters). Field visits and community work are part and parcel of this program. According to the Pass syllabus under CBCS, the students will study core courses, skill enhancement courses and discipline courses in the span of three years (Six Semesters). Four Science Departments viz CHEMISTRY, MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS & ZOOLOGY got DBT STAR College Scheme from the Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi for the benefit of UG students.

The performance of Krishna Chandra College stands out distinctly in its commitment to fostering holistic student development through community engagement initiatives. Unlike many other institutions, Krishna Chandra College has made significant strides in integrating community service and social responsibility into its academic framework.

One notable aspect of the college's performance is its comprehensive outreach programs aimed at addressing local societal needs. Through partnerships with various NGOs and government agencies, the NSS, NCC, Women Empowerment Cell, Career Counseling and Placement Cell of the college organizes regular community service projects such as health camps, environmental clean-up drives, and educational workshops in nearby villages areas. These initiatives not only benefit the communities but also provide students with valuable hands-on learning experiences and a deeper understanding of social issues.

Additionally, Krishna Chandra College stands out for its emphasis on experiential learning opportunities beyond the classroom. The college encourages students to participate in internships, fieldwork, and research projects that have practical applications in addressing real-world challenges. By exposing students to diverse environments and situations, the college equips them with the skills and knowledge needed to become socially responsible citizens and effective leaders in their respective fields.

Overall, our institute is committed to providing high-quality education to all students, regardless of their caste, creed, or gender. Our dedication to distinctiveness in our work sets us apart. A majority of our students hail from the surrounding villages, and we take pride in having a substantial number of female students. Many of our students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and we strive to keep tuition fees and hostel costs affordable compared to other institutions in the district. Our primary aim is to empower our students with knowledge and inspire them to make meaningful contributions to society. We are steadily improving our infrastructure, including our ICT facilities, due to the support we have received under the strengthening component of DBT Star College Scheme. In addition to academic excellence, we prioritize the well-being of our students through special health-related seminars, workshops, and health check-up camps. Our institution values community engagement. Our faculty members, along with non-teaching staff and students, actively participate in social activities such as distributing clothes and food to economically disadvantaged villagers. We are also deeply committed to raising awareness about environmental issues within the local community. These efforts collectively contribute to our institutional distinctiveness.
