Kalyani University KU

Kalyani as a satellite township under the long-term perspective plan of Calcutta Urban Agglomeration was the brainchild of our former Chief Minister Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. A Master Plan designed for the development of this township emphasized the need for education and health infrastructures. The University of Kalyani was established in 1960 with the objective of fulfilling one aspect of this need. Initially a unitary university with the faculties of Arts, Science, Education, and Agriculture, it has grown to have 62 affiliated colleges under its aegis in the districts of Nadia and Murshidabad. Since its inception, the University has attracted students of the region and beyond, as can be seen in the glorious alumni list of the University, comprising of eminent scientists, scholars, artists, sportspersons, and people’s representatives.
