About College
Established in 1965, Panchmura Mahavidyalaya is the first rural degree college and third undergraduate college in Bankura. It was named after the place Panchmura which is renowned for its terracotta crafts not only in the district of Bankura but also in India. The College is the manifestation of long-cherished dream of the locality to bring the light of higher education to the cottages of marginal farmers, land labourers and the poor. Long-sighted vision of the local educationists like Dr. Ratnakar Mandal, Shri M. K. Mukherjee (founder President of the GB), Shri C. B. Sannigrahi and Shri S.Banerjee (1st founder Principal) was transformed into reality under the benevolent leadership of Dr. Pasupati Mandal (the then MP). The generous families of the villages of Joypur and Kulbani donated considerable tracts of land on which the college was founded. Basic initial infrastructure was built with the hard earned collective contributions and untiring efforts of the local people most of whom are peasants. However, the classes of the College were started in the premises of Panchmura High School on 20th August, 1965 for three year General Degree Courses and University Entrance courses in Arts. In 1968, the College was shifted to its own premises in the newly-constructed buildings.
