Situated on the eastern bank of the river Bhagirathi, the 150 yrs old Krishnath college was originally founded by the Govt. of Bengal under East India Company on the 18th Nov. 1853 by notification no : 1913 20th Oct 1953, with the assistance of Nawab, Zaminders and a number of common people of this district although the idea of founding both the college and the University was first conceived by the visionary idealist and a Renaissance man Raja Krishnath – a dream that was not translated into reality by his cruel untimely death. However, since then the growth and development of this college have always been intimately concerned with Cossimbazar Raj family. Thus it is significant that the genesis of this Institution marked a cultural synthesis between feudalism and democracy not often dreamed of in that remote past. #krishnathcollege #berhampore #westbengal #westbengalphotography #bhagirathiriver #alongtheganges #education #architectureofbengal #architecture #motog825gshot (at Krishnath College Berhampore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpRjEniIACP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
