Seva Bharati College

After necessary inspection the Calcutta University approved the proposed Seva Bharati Mahavidyalaya on the 17th July, 1964 and permitted to admit, some Arts subjects at UG level and the Mahavidyalaya started its voyage with only 65 students in 1964-65. The avowed purpose was to cater to the need of higher education of the students of SC, ST-dominated, underdeveloped and socially underprivileged backward rural area of Jhargram Sub-Division of erstwhile Midnapore district. Empowering the poor and academically backward people of Kapgari and its adjoining areas was the sole aim and objective of founding the Seva Bharati Mahavidyalaya. The name “Seva Bharati” suggests that the ideal India can only be constituted on the noble principle of “seva” or service. The word “Bharati” is pregnant with significance; one meaning of “Bharati” is speech, another learning, yet another, the presiding deity of India. The Mahavidyalaya is dedicated to this noble service since its establishment, and it has completed its fifty years of glorious service to the Nation. The motto of the Mahavidyalaya is "Tapasya, Seva, Pragati" ― which means that the development of either the Nation or of the individual is a progressive concept, which can be achieved through sincere contemplation and selfless service. The “Pragati” or progress of India would come through the enlightenment of the society. The eight images of flowers scattered within the flower-wheel of the logo symbolize the progressive and full flowering of human potentials along with the growth of life. Though the Mahavidyalaya faced different forms of obstacles like financial crunch, lack of permanent posts, uneasy communication etc. still it is marching ahead with its sole objective of providing quality education irrespective of caste, creed, religion, financial and physical health status of the students. We have come a long way but we do humbly acknowledge in Robert Browning's words, "...the petty done/ the undone vast."
