The Department of History started its journey from the session 1985-86 to cater to the educational needs of the weaker sections of Malda district in particular and to other parts of the districts and North Bengal. Since then, it has come a long way in popularizing History both as a discipline and a career-building opportunity for students in and around Malda district and North Bengal.
