History

Some academics of Panikhali and its nearby area wanted to establish a government aided general degree college. As there was no college within around 15 km, there was a serious need. The support of local villagers, academics, and government departments helped to overcome many obstacles to establish this college.

In 2007 they established "Pritilata Mahila Mahavidyalaya" with the girls’ education affiliated by the University of Kalyani.[2]

Initially the classes ware taken at Jugal Kishore S.S. Sikhyatan. After that, with financial aid from Rajyasabha M.P. Khabiruddin Ahammed and local M.L.A. Dabendranath Biswas, the college's building and infrastructure was developed. In 2009 classes and administrative work were shifted to the present premises.
