Sindri College has the distinction of being the only constituent
degree college situated in 15km periphery of the fertilizer
township of Sindri to cater to the need of higher education to
the tribal and underprivileged villagers of the vicinity.
The college was established by the erstwhile
Fertilizer Corporation of India Ltd. (FCI) which donated
Rs.1.5lakh from its Worker’s Amenities Fund for the benefit of
its employees as well as their wards. The then education
minister of undivided Bihar Satyendra Narain Sinha inaugurated
the college on 12th July 1963. Since then the college
never looked back. Students of the college earned laurels for
the college both in the field of education and extracurricular
activities including sports. Many of our students topped the
merit list of university that earned a place of pride for the
college among the colleges of earlier the Ranchi University,
Ranchi and presently the Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribagh.
Eminent educationist of Dhanbad coalfield Dr. Shoe
Chandra Prasad was the founder principal of the college.llege.
He however remained on the post for a little less than two years
and Prof. Mahesh Chandra Shastri took over the reigns of the
college in 1965 and continued on the post till November 1976
when Bihar govt. under an ordinance transferred him and Dr.
B.N.Pandey joined the post. Prof. Shastri however returned back
as principal in 1979 and continued on the post till 1981.
It was during his tenure that the college gained the
status of a constituent unit of Ranchi University, Ranchi in
1980. After him the college had Dr. K.P.S Choudhary, Dr.
L.P.Yadav, Dr. S. N.Rana, Prof. R.A.Singh and Dr. Mrs S. Kumari,
Dr. A.I.Khan , Dr. S.N.Singh and Dr M.K.Mahan as principals and prof.-in-charges
from time to time. Presently Dr. Devendra Kumar, Sindri
College, has been entrusted to look after the
responsibilities of the college as principal.
The college was granted affiliation for teaching in
Arts and commerce stream up to pre-university level in 1964
which was upgraded up to Degree Part II in consecutive years.
Affiliation for teaching up to Intermediate Science was granted
in 1972 and graduation in science in 1979. The college, which
started as an evening college in the Rajendra High School for
Boys, Shaharpura building, is presently running in two separate
buildings for boys and girl students. While nearly 3000 boy
students are studying in three streams of Arts, Commerce and
Science up to Honours level in the main college building
situated in the Manohartand locality of the town, nearly 1800
girls are pursuing their higher studies at the Women’s section
building of the college in Shaharpura locality. Nearly 40percent
boys and girls studying in the college belong to tribal and most
backward community.
We rededicate ourselves to the service of the society
and commit to continue our pursuit for excellence and endeavour
to provide higher education to the poorest of the poor and the
downtrodden in the best possible manner. |
