History of The College
Heramba Chandra College, a premier coeducational institution, is popularly known as
South City Day College. The college has a
long glorious history. It has celebrated its
golden jubilee in the year 2006.
In the history of education in India, the
achievements of City College need to be
remembered not only for its pioneering efforts
in the field of modern education in the country,
but also for the fact that it is the embodiment of
the liberal spirit of those master-minds that
enriched the nineteenth century renaissance in
India.
The City College of today had its modest
beginning in the City School, which was
founded on January 6, 1879 by the Sadharan
Brahmo Samaj. Late Ananda Mohan Bose, the
then President of the Samaj had borne the
initial expenses of the foundation of the
school. Late Sivananth Sastri and other
prominent members of the society were
actively associated in founding the school.
In 1881, only two years after its establishment,
the City School was raised to the rank of a
college when F. A. classes were started. Since
then, the college made rapid strides towards
the advancement of higher education. The B.
A. classes were opened in 1884 and thus
within five years of its establishment, the
institution developed into a first-grade
college.
In January 1905, City College was placed
under the control of a society registered under
Act XXI of 1860 called, "The City College
Institution", which is now known as Brahmo
Samaj Education Society.
The Commerce Department of the City
College was started in 1939 with a view to
making education more utilitarian. With the
progress and expansion of trade, commerce
and industry, it was realised that education in
2
Commerce Subject was also essential to create
trained personnel who would fulfil the
industrial and commercial goals of the
country.
The South Calcutta Branch was opened in
1946. The main object, in view of the
disturbances then prevailing, was to provide
education at an institution in a safe zone for the
students of South Calcutta. It was started in
November, 1946, at the premises of the South
Suburban Branch School at 110 Lansdowne
Road. In July, 1952 the South Calcutta Branch
had to be shifted to premises at 50 Mahim
Halder Street, Kalighat. The Late Horendra
Coomer Mukherjee, the then popular
Governor of West Bengal, laid the foundation
stone of the present South Calcutta Building
on January 6, 1954. The opening ceremony of
the South Calcutta Building was performed on
January 6, 1955.
With effect from June 1, 1961 the South City
College Branch of the City College branched
off into three separate colleges, namely
Sivanath Sastri College (Morning,),
Heramaba Chandra College (Day) and
Prafulla Chandra College (Evening).
Thus was born Heramba Chandra College. As
an unit of Brahmo Samaj Education Society
the college is marching ahead with its
academic flag held high by the brilliant
performances of its students in different
examinations as well as exceptional
achievements in the sports arena. The college,
conspicuous for its high level of commerce
education, has also progressed in recent years
by opening honours courses in subjects like
Bengali, English, Economics, Education and
Geography in addition to Political Science and
History which were being taught at the college
since 1963.

Principal’s Desk
Herambachandra College welcomes
you all. College is a place to remember.
People who are fortunate to continue
their higher studies get admitted to a

of the disciplined school life, college is
a place where one can breath freely.
These three years of college life is the
best part of a student’s life. Here
student’s take first step towards
individuality. The first ray of future
shines from here. This is the place
where cocoons turn into beautiful
butterflies. The college lends a helping
hand to make one step forward in
her/his broader life.
This college is educating people for
more than 60 years with a reputation. At
first it was the only one college of
commerce in south Kolkata. Gradually,
it has spread its branches and now there
are honours in Bangla, Education,
English, History and Political Science
in Arts, and Economics and Geography
in Science, along with honours in
Accounting & Finance and Marketing
in Commerce. This college holds
its head high by the successful
performances of the students for
decades continuously. Hope, the
students who have enrolled themselves
in this institution will take the batons
from the seniors and win the race as
complete human beings.
The College believes in all round
growth of the students as human
beings. Students must fit in this modern
world. So, college provides some help
to nurture the various talents of the
students through different clubs. While
encouraging students in studies it has
persuaded them also to form
Photography Club, Nature Club,
Drama Club and Trekking & RockClimbing Club. Regular excursions by
Departments and the Students' Union
are always supported. Sport persons are
also encouraged here. This college has
won many trophies and prizes in
various fields of sports, both group
wise and as individuals. A person
cannot be a human being unless and
until she or he is aware of the society.
Different social activities are organized
by the college to make students aware
of the surroundings. This college not
only wants to prepare its students for
the outer world, but also wants to
provide some job opportunity. Many
companies are regularly visiting this
college for their recruitment and they
are quite satisfied.
All these are in a nutshell. Details are
within this prospectus and rest for your
experience. I, on behalf of all the
teaching, non-teaching members and
senior students, welcome you all to this
wonderful world of Herambachandra
College family. Wish you all a very

Accounting and Finance and Economics honours students usually have an edge in financial
management, while marketing students possess advantage in marketing management.
Though students of all disciplines can pursue Chartered Accountancy and/or Cost
Accountancy Courses, Accounting & Finance students are definitely more inclined to such
courses.
M.A. in rural development and M.A. in social welfare are other courses, which may be
pursued by graduates from any social science subject.
Career Prospects
1. Campus interviews are arranged regularly for the third year Students. The reputed companies

examinations like UPSC and PSC, Civil Services, Miscellaneous Services, Banking Services

3. Though all graduates are eligible to sit for School Service Commission Examinations, scope is
enormous for Bangla, English, History and Geography. In this field, there is very limited scope for
Commerce and Economics.
4. For Commerce graduates West Bengal Audit and Accounts service is a very good option.
5. For Economics honours graduates, there are special options for Indian Economic Services
and Indian Statistical Services, Statistical Investigators (NSSO/CSO)
6. Journalism is another career option for graduates.
