The College was established in 1984 by the initiative of a few local intellectuals in this tribal dominated and educationally backward area. The College is conveniently located by the side of NH-18,at a distance of 12 kms. only from Baripada, the district Metropolis of Mayurbhanj. There are nice road and rail communications to the College. In either case it is only half of a Kilometer from N.H.-18 (Previously N.H.-5), Baiganbadia Bus-stop or Kuchai Railway Halt. The State Borders of West Bengal and Jharkhand are only 25 km and 30 km respectively from the college. The College has a good academic record both at +2 and +3 levels. In the field of sports & Social services, it has won many laurels.
When the College was established in 1984, there were only four students. But soon, the College was full of students due to the sincere efforts of the Governing Body and the Staff Members. The College got Govt. Concurrence in 1985 in Arts; in 1987 in Commerce and in 1989 in Science at +2 level.
The College also opened +3 Degree in Arts in the year 1987 and has become one of the senior Degree Colleges of the District.
Gradually the College moved from strength to strength. Today there are more than 2000 students in the College.
