Greetings!

Bhanu Pratap Deo Government Post Graduate College Kanker was established on July, 1st, 1962 to open up the doors of higher education in the tribal region of Bastar district of Chhattisgarh. The founding father of this college, His Highness Bhanu Pratap Deo nurtured a dream for the upcoming generations of Bastar region in general and Kanker in particular. He hoped to enhance the literacy, intellectual and all-round development of the students of this tribal region by means of higher education through the establishment of BPD Govt. PG College in Kanker.

Our institute holds the manifold distinction of being amongst one of the best colleges imparting higher education in the region. The aim and ambition of the college is to impart knowledge to the aspiring students belonging to socially and economically down trodden tribal sectors of this area and subsequently has attended its mission successfully. The college which had a humble beginning in the year 1962, today has got more than 3000 students and 70 staff members. With the help of disciplined environment, dedicated staff, wide arena of subjects and a well established infrastructure, the college has come a long way and has carved out a niche for itself and stands as a significant name on the academic landscape of Chhattisgarh.

Aristotle once said, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” We believe that the first and foremost purpose of education is the overall personality development of students so can they face the challenges of life in the future. With formal education, we march our students ahead with ethos of moral values and principles. Active participation of students in NSS, NCC, Redcross, Sports and cultural activities ensure their holistic development.

A perfect blending of tribal culture and the technology of the modern world is creating conducive academic atmosphere for transforming students into better citizens. I invite you to this great institution of higher education for learning the spirit of nation building.

My good wishes to one and all.
