History

In the history of dissemination of education at Palpara, an illustrious village in Anchal No. 8/2, P.S.- Patashpur, Dist.- Purba Medinipur 40 miles (64 km) away from S.E. Railway (Contai Road Station), hold a unique place. It was in the year 1950 that Palpara M.E. School was raised to the High School standard and the Palpara High School affiliated to Yogoda Satsanga Society of India afterwards, Yogoda Satsanga Palpara High School was upgraded into a Higher Secondary and multipurpose school (for boys). It is hereworth mentioning that the present college was first housed in the school building in 1964. Under Y.S.S. of India, Sri Janardan Sahu, through whose untiring and selfless efforts this College was established at Palpara, was the heart, pillar and soul of this and he became the first founder-Secretary of the institutions. He took the initiative in disseminating the light of education and loosened his purse-strings instantly for the cause of higher education in this educationally backward rural area of Palpara.

After independence, the establishment of a college in the far north of Contai Sub Division (Dist. Purba Medinipur) was a crying need. The students had either to go to Medinipur or to Kolkata to pursue their higher studies. More than 80% of the students had to give up their higher education due to excessive cost of living of the urban areas.

Yogoda Satsanga Palpara Mahavidyalaya, a premier Educational Institution under the auspices of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India and Self-Realization Fellowship is situated in the remote south-west corner from the head quarter of the district Purba Medinipur, West Bengal.
