Dhrubachand Haldar College

Dhruba Chand Halder College (DCHC), South 24 Parganas was established in 1965. The college was formerly known as Dakshin Barasat College. The college is affiliated to the Calcutta University and NAAC accredited degree college. It is a co-educational Non-Government college. The college is included in the list of colleges maintained under Section 2(f) & 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956. Though "education" is the main "mantra", they do not encourage mere book-learning and writing examination papers.

The dream is to deliver value-based education, which, in the long run, makes "real men and women" (a concept initiated by Swamiji), and not just money making individuals. The college fosters acts of kindness, service and sacrifice in the students. The college envisages a kind of education that would help young learners realize their inner strength and potentialities and know their own selves.
