Pravat Kumar College

Prabhat Kumar College, Contai was established in 1926. Shortly after Gandhiji’s historic visit to Contai, Prabhat Kumar College, the oldest College of Purba Medinipur district was founded with bounteous donation from late Biswambhar Dinda. Located in the coastal area of Bengal, Prabhat Kumar College processes a sprawling campus of 17.43 acres. Initially the college functioned as an Arts College under C.U. with only 39 students.

In 1985 the college got affiliated to C.U. At present, the College runs 18 full-fledged departments (including Arts, Science and Commerce) with a total enrolment of a whopping 3900 students. In keeping with the escalating roll strength in recent years, the College has made provision for conducting classes in two separate shifts, morning shift and day shift. Separate blocks are offered to B.Ed., Computer Science and Netaji Subhas Open University courses (both UG & PG).
