Khulna, the youngest district of the Presidency division of British Bengal was born in 1882. Although the district headquarters was 175 km off from the capital Calcutta, it took only four hours for a train journey to reach the capital city. The children of the landlord and upper middle class families preferred the capital city for their higher education and as a result no institution for higher education was established in Khulna region. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, when the urge for higher education among the middle class families grew stronger, it was felt necessary to establish institutions for higher education.
It was around the beginning of the twentieth century when some eminent philanthropists of Khulna and Bagerhat decided to establish a college around the district headquarters of Khulna. Mr. Brajalal Chakravarty M.A.B.L. an advocate of Calcutta High court, landlords Mr. Troilakyanath Chatterjee and Mr. Jadunath Biswas selected a beautiful site at Daulatpur, a suburb of Khulna and beside the Khulna Calcutta railway. The villages around Daulatpur had a strong majority of caste hindu population in which there were many highly educated persons, High court judges, I.C.S. officers, poets and literateurs. The site of the college at Daulatpur was selected by the sponsors for different reasons. It was a small but beautiful river port on the Bhairab, a few minutes walk from Daulatpur railway station. Only 8 km away from the district head quarters, the site was also far from the madding crowd of Khulna. The sponsors also expected that the college would attract the attention of the educated and wealthy caste hindu population and they would come forward with financial and other help. In order to impart a strong moral education along with the University syllabus, a temple was established in 1902 along with the college on a plot of land measuring only two acres purchased by Mr. Brajalal Chakravarty. Afterwards, more land was acquired by purchase and gift and it is learnt that a portion of the college area lies on land owned by Syedpur Trust Estate of Haji Muhammad Mohsin the great. A Chatushpati (an institution for sanskrit and religious education) associated with the temple was also established. The flowing river on one side and the green trees surrounding the area was so charming and excellent that the sponsors designed to give it the shape of a hermitage. In those days the Brahmin priest of a temple was very much particular about untouchability. They had a view that the sanctity of the temple and the idol of the goddess could not be duly preserved if people other than the caste hindu sect are allowed to move in the hermitage area. The authority of the temple and the college resolved to admit students coming from the caste hindu community only. From the beginning the whole institution was of residential nature. On account of its residential nature, a physician was appointed for giving free medical treatment to the resident teachers and boarder students.
Without political problem it's the best college,really nice and cool nature

যুবক বয়সের সেরা সময়টা এই কলেজ ঘিরেই কেটেছে। শরৎ আর হেমন্তের অনেকগুলো সন্ধ্যারাত এই মাঠে বসে আড্ডা দিয়েই কাটিয়েছি । সন্ধ্যায় শতবর্ষ স্তম্ভের চারপাশের হাসনাহেনার উগ্র গন্ধ অন্যরকম মাদকতা দিত। আড্ডাগুলো জমে উঠত নানান গল্পে। স্মৃতিকাতরতা..
