Vivekananda College for Women

In the year 1950 the present Vivekananda College for Women was first established as ‘Vivekananda College, Barisha’, an Intermediate College under the scheme for ‘dispersal’ of ‘displaced students’ from Calcutta. For the first two years the College had no separate building. Classes were held in the west block of Barisha High School situated on the southern side of the present college building. From the time of its inception the last century saw the institution emerge from its traditional conservatism and bravely face the challenges of globalization. The road was long but never weary. Step by step the principals, teachers and staff one after another contributed their unfaltering energies to help the college bloom.
