Principal Message
Dr. Kaustav Chakrabarti
Birpara College is situated in the Alipurduar district of West Bengal, and is one of the most strategically located colleges close to the Bhutan border and a few kilometres away from Siliguri’s “chicken neck corridor”. The natural beauty of the place adds to the robust academic atmosphere of the College.
Founded way back in 1986, Birpara College went through many trials and tribulations, and came out with flying colours after having gone through the baptism of fire at the initial stage. Right from its inception, it had a dedicated body of Teachers and Non-Teaching Staff who made every possible effort to bring quality education to the students and in general contribute to the overall improvement of the quality of life of the local inhabitants.
