Government General Degree College at Kushmandi is one of the latest colleges established by the Government of West Bengal, situated in Kushmandi Block of Dakshin Dinajpur. This district, situated in the northern part of West Bengal, has a long political history by its name. After the partition of India the erstwhile undivided Dinajpur district was bifurcated. While approximately two third of the Dinajpur district was included in East Pakistan (present Bangladesh), the remaining portion became a part of India renamed as West Dinajpur. Again on the 1st April of the year 1992, for the sake of proper administrative expediency, West Dinajpur was further subdivided into Uttar (North) Dinajpur and Dakshin (South) Dinajpur. Apart from its interesting historical background this prosperous district is rich in mythology, history and archaeology. The Block Kushmandi also has a colourful religious, cultural and natural heritage. Handicrafts like Mask, Dhokra and folk culture like ‘Khana’, ‘Chorchunni’, ‘Natua’, ‘Jang Gan’, Mokha Dance underscore the block’s prestigious position in our famous bengali cultural heritage. Local legends say that Tulaipanji rice now internationally famous for its taste and aroma was originally once produced only in the Valley of local Tulai River. Demographically the area is combined with both the Hindu and Muslim communities.
