Behala College, Kolkata

ABOUT

Behala College was established in 1963 with the primary objective to spread education among the students, whose families were displaced from East Pakistan and were rehabilitated in the vicinity of Parnashree Pally in Behala. The college is conveniently located in the south-western part of Kolkata and is 12.5 km from Howrah station (40 mins), 28 kms from Dumdum Airport (1 hr), 12 kms from Sealdah station (45 mins), 10 kms from Esplanade bus stand (35 mins).

The motto of the college is “Nishi din Alok shikha Jwaluk Prane”, which has been deduced from the lines of a famous song by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. It means ‘Let the flame of light be kindled eternally’.
