Vision, Mission, Goal
Vision
Nani Bhattacharya Smarak Mahavidyalaya (NBSM), affiliated with the University of North Bengal and located in the Alipurduar district near the Bhutan border, was established in 2000 to improve educational opportunities for the lower middle class and marginalized communities. Embracing the Sanskrit adage ‘Vidya Dadati Vinayam’ — “Knowledge endows Humility and Humanity” — the college is committed to advancing its students with a focus on fostering both academic excellence and personal growth.
Mission
Most students at the college are first-generation learners, with their parents primarily working as tea garden laborers. Given this demographic, the college’s mission must be practical and aligned with the real needs of its students. Teachers are expected to understand and adapt to this context. The college’s mission is not merely to offer idealistic intellectual pursuits but to empower students to secure their rightful place in India’s economic, social, and political landscape. Our goal is to help those who have been on the periphery of literacy to overcome their challenges and actively contribute to nation-building.
Goal
Most of the students coming out of this college are well settled and productive in their own sphere and we expect that our college will remain a centre for educational, social and cultural up liftmen of this locality in the years to come.
