Introduction:
The
vision was born of magnificent wealth, the munificence of a noble dreamer, and of
no mean Mammon of Course. In some lonely hours the great Sripat Singh Dugar, the
last perhaps of the clan of the jain Sitambar blue blood at Jiagang, Murshidabad,
felt he must do that. His worthy partner of life, the co-sharer of his dream, his
wife Rani Dhanya Kumari Dugar inspired his vision. So in 1949, in the month of April,
the deed of gift was signed. Sripar Singh Dugar gifted his palatial outhouse (the
magnificent 'Cutchery Bari'), with a further donation of seventy-five thousand rupees,
for a college in this town Jiaganj. It was Sripat Singh College, the first ever
in this Sub-Division and in this vast region of rural and urban West Bengal. On
May 1, 1949, the Governing Body was formed with Sripat Singh Dugar as the Founder
President. On 11 June 1949 the Governing Body was formed with this Sub-Division
and in this vast region of rural and urban West Bengal. On May 1, 1949, the College
was affiliated with the University of Calcutta. And on the auspicious morning of
August 1, 1949 it began stepping forward as a co-educational Intermediate college
with the Principal Sri Jogesh Chandra Bhattacharya , three cull-time Lectures, one
clerk, one Librarian, one helper, 42 student in the I.A. class and 29 in the I.Sc.
to encourage sincere students Sripat Singhji donated Rs. 10,000.00 for funding scholarships.
The college was raised to Degree standard when in 1951, in terms of Govt. rules,
he made a further donation of Rs. 30,000.00 for working fund. So in 1951 B. S. Pass
course started here with 9 students.
For
the permanent economic security and up keeping of the college the Governing Body
headed by Sripat Sing Dugar moved to the Government of West Bengal and particularly
to the then Chief Minister Dr. Bidhan Chandra Ray in 1953. in terms of Government
Rules of the time Sripat Singhji donated One lakh rupees (Rs. 100000.00) along with
the gift of the regular annuity of Rs 6000.00 every year from his Malda Properties.
And so in July, 1954 W.B. Government initiated the Govt. Sponsored Schme with Sripat
Singh College as the first Govt. Sponsored Co-educational Degree College in the
state. In 1960 B. Sc. (Pass) course was introduced here. Progress was in pace. Learners
thronged. Accommodation became a problem.
Sripat
Singhji donated land adjacent to the building and with his co-operation much more
land was purchased in 1958. In 1959 a large sum of financial assistance for building
construction was available from U.G.C. and the W.B. Government. This joint fund
of Rs. 1,94,000.00 was utilized for the construction of a spacious 3-storeyed building
with more than thirty rooms and halls. In 1961 the building was ceremonially opened
by Dr. K.L. Srimali, the Union Minister for Education. W.B. Chief Minister Sri Prafulla
Chandra Sen was present in the function.Academic activities were transferred here
in August, 1961 and the ancestral out-house of Sripat Singhji, i.e. the old building
of the college has since then been named as the 'Administrative Building'.
PRINCIPAL'S DESK
THE VISION AND IDEALS AHEAD OF SRIPAT SINGH COLLEGE:
'Advancement of learning', as Francis
Bacon conceived centuries ago, is still to be the ideal of any educational institution,
and so it is ours too; to create ideal atmosphere for learning. To 'learn' is to
know, to know, myself and the mankind, as we find ourselves in harmony with the
universe. As T.S. Eliot names this, this is a cohesion of 'tradition and individual
talent' in an atmosphere of 'sweetness and light'.
An educational institution arranges
for manifestation of that individual talent. Hence are here all these sciences all
these arts. The highest aim of all these is to know the truth, truth in all its
scientific an humanistic spectrum.
'Individuality develops only a social
atmosphere where it cal feed on common interests and common activities' - we should
share this view of Sir Percy Nunn. Therefore we must try evermore to help developing
social sense and humanistic consciousness in our pupils. G. K. Chesterton
believes of an artist and of any man : 'His attitude to his age is his individuality;
men are never individual when alone'. Our motto should therefore be : 'Unity in
diversity'. Freedom from ignorance, freedom is, in truth, the condition, if not
the source, of all higher goods, Sir Percy Nunn further believes, and so we should
say, 'these higher goods include the higher learning’s'. These ideals of education
harmonise with the Vedic hymn :
Om, Saha nababatu. Saha nou bhunktu.
Saha biryang karabadahai. Tejasvinabadhitamastu.
Ma bidvisabahai. Om Sanith, Sanith,
Sanith.Meaning : May that supreme Being (or Knowledge) protect us both the teacher
and the taught; may He protect us by revealing to us both the real nature of knowledge
and its application in life. May we both strive and endeavour together, in harmony,
to attain knowledge and wisdom. May our learning be envigorated by the power of
the highest truth. May there be no discord among us. Peace, peace, peace.

TOURISM
Murshidabad,
the district got its present name in the early eighteenth century and its present
shape in the latter half of the eighteenth century, the earliest evidences of history
in the district date back to the pre-historic days perhaps as early as circa 1500
B.C.
Jiaganj
and Azimganj are old townships on the banks of Bhagirathi where the Jain culture
flourished. There are some old Jain Temples and a Museum. Near Azimganj is the fascinating
Baranagar temple complex built by Rani Bhabani (1714 – 1793), the Zamindar of Natore.
The brick-built temples are considered to be amongst the best examples of Bengal
Terracotta art.
The
Baranagar Temple complex is chiefly the creation of Rani Bhabani of Natore. The
Bhabaniswara, Char Bangla, Jod Bangla and Rajrajeshwari are the main temples.
The
town of Jiaganj has grown on both sides of the Bhagirathi. Though it is very near
Murshidabad, it is advisable to keep two separate days for visit to the two zones.
The Jain temples are the main attraction here.
Kiriteswari
Temple, one of the 51 Pithasthanas where the Kirit (the crown) of the goddess to
have fallen is not far away. The ruins of some of the old temples are also of Archeological
interest. The Dahapara temple nearby attracts many devotees.
