It is one of the oldest institutions of higher education not only in Bengal but in the whole of India. When Raja Peary Mohan College, formerly Uttarpara College, was founded in the late nineteenth century by a benevolent social reformer of the district of Hooghly, nobody anticipated that from its humble beginning this college could reach a goal of excellence in academic, social and cultural fields. In true sense the present recognition and distinctions were built upon the heritage of a glorious past, but it had also records of rough times now and then. Nevertheless, the college endeavored to the cause of education despite various odds at different stages with commendable devotion for more than a century and keeping in pace with contemporary demands it has been currently trying to develop and cater the needs of the students. Thus just beyond the boundaries of the metropolis of Kolkata, Raja Peary Mohan College has developed itself as an eminent center of learning and as one of the biggest co-educational colleges of West Bengal, being affiliated to the University of Calcutta.
