• History & Memorable Moments

The college came into existence in 1957 through an initiative of the Government of Orissa, in connection with the establishment of the state's new capital in Bhubaneswar in 1948, and the consequent need of quality man-power in the region. It is named after Buxi Jagabandhu Bidyadhara Bhramarabara Ray, who was one of the first people to challenge the British East India Company in the early 19th century, and is specifically known for his pivotal role in the mutiny Paaika Bidroha, that took place in 1817 in Khurda, Orissa. Initially, the college offered courses only up to the intermediate level with an intake capacity of only 64 students each in the Science and Humanities streams. It was upgraded to a full-fledged degree college in the year 1962. The commerce stream was introduced in 1976. It was enlisted under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act in the year 1972 and under 12 (b) in the same year. It was an affiliated college of Utkal University till the session 1998-99. It has been functioning as an autonomous institution following the grant of autonomy by the UGC in 1999. Over the years the college has grown in terms of its infrastructure, student enrolment and subject options.
