About Us
During the mid-seventies of 20th century, a few local élites
of Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi Block felt the necessity of setting up a college in this tribal
area to promote higher education. It was housed in the Boys High school of
Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi for the session 1978-79. Subsequently, to be away from the din &
bustle of the township of Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi, the college embracing a tranquil atmosphere
congenial to study & suitable for academic pursuits was shifted to the village
of Nuasahi in the Badakhaladi Panchayat of Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi Block, surrounded by the
Sunei river in the east and the Tangarasuni hill in the west.
Just after the institution has seen its rising sun a group of malefactors tried
to shift this college to Baghajatin Padia of Mahuldiha Panchayat in the Name of
Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi College, Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi. But due to strong opposition of the local people
the matter was ultimately handed over to the Hon'ble High court . In obedience
to the Hon'ble High court, the Govt. of Odisha brought an end to the
matter by renaming the college as Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi College, Nuasahi and renewing the
Govt. Recognition to the same.
After umpteen trials & tribulations this institution managed to acquire the
Govt. recognition from the session 1986-87. Moreover, the Council of Higher
Secondary Education Odisha, Bhubaneswar was kind enough to accord
affiliation to the college with 128 seats in +2 Arts stream (English and MIL (O)
as compulsory and History, Pol.-Sc., Economics, Logic, Education and Odia as
optional subjects). From the session 1991-92, the college got affiliation for
commerce & from 1992-93 for science stream with 64 seats each and also extension
of seats from 128 to 256 in +2 Arts stream with new subjects.
However, the sleepless nights of struggle, this institution saw the dawn & it
received Grant-in-Aid w.e.f 01.06.1994. This pioneer institution is the
senior-most centre of learning in Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi subdivision catering the needs of
higher education to the rural pupils.From the session 2003-04, the college has
been accorded permission to open +3 Arts . Besides this, from the session
2010-11, +3 Commerce & Science streams and Honours subjects in Arts have also
been opened.
The long cherished dream of this locality ultimately materialized by the active
co-opertation of the people of local area under the leadership of Late Sj.
Nirmala Ch. Mohakud, Sri Brundaban Mohanty, Sri Benudhara Behera, Sri Chintamani
Biswal with the help of local MLAs & MPs. This college has been growing its
branches since its inception. The campus area spreads over 11 acres of land & is
only 2.5 km away from Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi, by the side of Kaptipada_College_Nuasahi -Sarat Road.
Starting only with 58 students, 6 teaching and 8 non-teaching staff, the college
has now about 1400 students and 81 members of teaching and non-teaching staff
(+2 & +3). It is now a full-fledged institution with a vocational wing in
dairy-farming, Accounting and Auditing trades. This college has also obtained
UGC affiliation under section 2FS 12(B) from 11-07-2010. But it has not received
any UGC Aid since then.
