About R.D.K College:
Rani Dhanya Kumari College, established in 1962,
is a general degree college in Murshidabad district. It offers undergraduate
courses in arts and commerce. It is affiliated to University of Kalyani.
The need and
essence of commerce education for all-round growth and development of a society
does not require too much emphasis and explanation. Keeping this fact in view
and the initiative taken by some noted personalities and educationists led by
the Founder Principal Late J.R Sengupta, "Jiaganj College of
Commerce" was established on August 01, 1962. The college started its
functioning in the evening shift in the premises of the neighbouring Sripat
Singh College and imparted education for B.Com(Pass)course.
In 1973, the
college was shifted to the present premises. It was made possible by the
generous contribution extended by a benevolent local landlord Late Sripat Singh
Dugar and thus the college got a new independent set-up. The affiliating
University, University of Calcutta conferred affiliation up to Honours course
in B.Com (Accountancy). The college then started its activities as a Day
College and it was renamed as "Rani Dhanya Kumari College of
Commerce" in the name of Late Rani Dhanya Kumari, the wife of Late Sripat Singh
Dugar.
