Its alumni cover the coveted Who’s Who list of the state in the realm of politics, bureaucracy, academics, philanthropy etc. who has immensely contributed to the building of this institution in the last four and half decade.
Behind the silent march of this college from sole status in 1964 to the present enviable position among the comity of colleges in the state, the dedication of the faculty members, majority of whom are Ph.
