It gives me immense pleasure to pen down the saga of accomplishment of this heritage institution named after the noble soul of Odisha Pandit Utkalmani Gopabandhu Das. It was established in the year 1963 as an endeavour for propagation of higher education.
This institution has been growing in status and stature for more than 50 years. The college not only devoted to excellence in teaching and learning but also relentlessly trying to push the boundaries of knowledge. For us knowledge is not mere information but wisdom to equip life with tools to face challenges of future. Several alumni of this glorious institution have carved a niche for themselves by occupying enviable accolades in the country and abroad. This learning centre aims at achieving new heights and pave path towards a scintillating future. For augmenting the glory of Odisha and for the overall development together we can surmount the obstacles and challenges and set new goals to attain.
May all the students take full advantage of the education imparted here to make a better and more beautiful world.
