Mahadevananda Mahavidyalaya, a co-educational day College, originally affiliated
to the University of Calcutta was founded in Monirampore, under Barrackpore
Sub-division of North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, by Late Swami Jyotirmoyananda
Giri Maharaj, in the sacred memory of his preceptor Late Swami Mahadevananda
Giri Maharaj, on the auspicious day of Janmashtami, and the Independence Day,
the 15th of August, 1968. The 15th of August being a holiday, the 16th of August
has been officially declared as the Foundation Day of the College. This college
accredited by NAAC at A grade. The vision of the Founder of this educational
Institute Late Srimat Swami Jyotirmoyananda was to spread Science Education
initially among the boys and girls and to that end, he founded this
co-educational Degree College, a temple of formal higher education, to later the
needs of the local people particularly the people of the industrial belt of
North 24 Parganas and to satisfy the national needs at large. As the successor
of the founder monk, we trust (our Mission)in the wider connotation of
“Education” and we believe that education is the training for a meaningful life
and a continuous process for making of a complete human being enriched in “Value
Education”. As this institution was founded by a group of spiritual monk, we
always concentrate our effort to imbibe among the students a sense of sacrifice,
social awareness and respect for the proud Heritage of India. So our objective
is: |

“Om sahana Bhabatu
Om Sahanau Bhaunakti
Om Saha Biryang Karaba Bahai
Tejashwi Nabadhitamastu
Ma Bidisha Bahai
Oh Shanti ! Shanti! Shanti!” |
