About our College

Founded in 2014, Swarnamoyee Jogendranath Mahavidyalaya is a Government-aided general degree college, offering Bachelor’s degree programmes in various subjects in the Arts and Sciences, located in Amdabad, in the district of Purba Medinipur in West Bengal. The college conducted its first student admissions in 2015, and is about to have its ninth batch of graduates. “Pranipatena pariprashnena sevaya,” a phrase from the Bhagavad Gita (4.34) is the college moto. The phrase, in the context of the fourth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, enunciates that the true method of acquiring knowledge is by submitting to the spiritual master completely, and then asking genuine, pertinent questions of the master, and also serving the master sincerely. Only by such complete commitment to the master, rather than by speculation or argument, can true knowledge be achieved. 

Campus Settings

Located amidst lush green fields, in a primarily agricultural belt, the college offers the opportunity for higher education to first generation college-goers. The college offers 4 Year Honours (Single Major) in Bengali, Education, English, Sanskrit and Sociology, and 3 Year Multidisciplinary Programmes. The pass percentage of students as of 2025 is 98.64, and gradually interest is rising in pursuing Master’s degrees, and seeking placement in various professions. For the academic enrichment of students, the college consistently organizes seminars, conferences, webinars and special lectures at the state, national and international levels, which have been graced by the presence of experts distinguished in their respective fields. Apart from academics, one of the major thrust areas of the college is the upliftment of the surrounding community. To that end, the college undertakes a variety of extension activities, often spearheaded by the vibrant NSS Unit. The active involvement of students in all these activities shows their commitment to service, and overall involvement in the college community. This orientation is consistent with the college motto, and it is our hope that this helps them turn out as well-rounded individuals as they step out into the world with degree in hand.
