Welcome to Rani Rashmoni Green University
The West Bengal Green University (Amendment) Bill, 2018 was passed in the Assembly on November 26 after the state government had decided that the name of the West Bengal Green University be changed as Rani Rashmoni Green University in commemoration of 225th birth anniversary of Rani Rashmoni.
The idea of founding a University in the district was mooted by the various organizations, notably by the Regional Education Association, Midnapore, headed by Professor A.K.Gayen of IIT, Kharagpur. The Ghani Committee appointed by the U.G.C. also suggested, among others, for the setting up of a University in Midnapore on the ground of its 'having a compact area and a manageable number of colleges' (at that time there were 36 colleges with an enrolment of about 42,000), and also of its 'having the great advantage of co-operation of the IIT, Kharagpur. The Committee was also of the opinion that the new University would develop on the lines suited to the needs of this backward area.
To give honour and respect to these pious intentions and proposals, the Government of West Bengal decided in 1978 to establish Rani Rashmoni Green University. The U.G.C. approved the proposal and on the advice of, and in consultation with the U.G.C., the State Government appointed a Planning Committee in March 1979 to lay down the lines of development and to take initial steps to found the University.
