Malda College, one of the biggest institutions of higher education of the state, started its journey in 1944 as an
“Intermediate Arts College” in an old rented building situated on a land, which is at present the Atul Market & Bus
Terminus. The college won the patronage of the academic and the education loving people of the district since the
beginning. Due to their whole-hearted co-operation and support the college was able to be housed in its own building in
a large compound of 52 bighas in 1952. Within 6 golden decades of steady progress, Malda College has attained its
present prestigious position. The Department of Higher Education, Govt. of West Bengal, has recently ranked this college
as a “Lead College” of the district and the University of North Bengal has declared this college as a “Constituent
College”. Later with the inception of The Gour Banga University, it is now affiliated to this University from the academic
