Shahid Matangini Hazra Government College for Women has been established by the Government of West Bengal with the aim of providing quality college education to girl students of Purba Medinipur and surrounding areas. It is ideally located close to the highway crossing from where different roads lead to Mecheda, Tamluk, Shrirampur, Haldia and Digha. The overwhelming response of students in enrolling in this college in the very first session (2015-2016) proves the necessity for setting up a girls' college in this area. Already 199 students have enrolled in the various courses. The college has been aptly named after Matangini Hazra, one of the most outstanding figures in the history of India's national struggle for independence, who hailed from the district of Tamluk.

It is hoped that the college will live up to the ideals of the great personality after whom it has been named. Read More
