Asutosh College, since its inception in July, 1916, has been a leading centre of education in Kolkata. As it enters its hundredth year of existence, let us step back in time and retrace the steps of its evolution from an Intermediate College in South Calcutta to its present position as a premier institute of Undergraduate, Postgraduate Studies and Research, not only of Kolkata, but also of West Bengal and eastern India.
Established by Sir Asutosh Mukherjee, one of the pioneers of modern education in India, the college was initially known as South Suburban College, following the up gradation of the South Suburban School into an Intermediate College. What occasioned its foundation was the closing down of two colleges in and around Bhowanipore – the London Missionary Society Institution and Doveton College (Bishop’s College) in 1911. The General Committee of South Suburban Group of Schools (estd. 1872) with Sir Asutosh as the then President, realizing the urgent need for a college in South Kolkata (or, Calcutta as it was then known) applied to the British Government on 12 February, 1915, for permission to set up an Intermediate College. Due to a variety of reasons, including financial, permission was not forthcoming initially, but finally, in May of the following year, the authorities relented and affiliation up to the Intermediate standard for Arts was granted with effect from the 1916-1917 academic session of Calcutta University. With some 250 students on its rolls, South Suburban College with Sir Asutosh as the President of its ten-member Governing Body, began its journey in a two-storied building at 26, Lansdowne Road. The subjects then taught in the college included English, Bengali, Sanskrit, Logic, History, Mathematics and Botany. By the following year itself, the burgeoning student strength forced the College authorities to relocate to more spacious and conveniently situated premises at Bijni House, 147, Russa Road (S. P. Mookerjee Road today) from where it continued to operate till September, 1936. The Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute is now located at the site.
Today, Asutosh College is recognized among the leading BSc colleges in Kolkata, offering a wide range of science programs that continue its legacy of academic excellence.
