Sidho Kanho Birsha University

The objective of this university is to carry the torch of higher education into the very interiors of the far- flung district of West Bengal, thereby providing the opportunity of creating a confluence of the rich local cultural heritage of the place and the global trend of technological know-how, which could result in an awe-inspiring ‘globalisation’ of the crème de la crème of the education system. In doing so, the approach of the University has been to evolve policies and programmes which will make Sidho-Kanho- Birsha University a meaningful contributor to the national resources in higher education rather than a mere quantitative expansion of facilities which alreadyexist.
