"Charuchandra College, which started its journey on 1st October 1947 as a Government Sponsored Co-educational Degree College affiliated to University of Calcutta, is now a commendable name in the State not only in academics but also in the fields of Sports and Games, cultural activities, NSS Programme and Research Activities. Cooperation from the College Administration and student friendly and interactive atmosphere has encouraged both students and teachers to achieve this mark of excellence."

"Charuchandra College has been christened after Late CharuchandraChattopadhyay, a notable Indian nationalist. It has its history embedded in the country’s post-partition scenario, when Dr.SatyendraNath Roy and some other eminent academicians of Dacca University and its affiliated colleges initiated a move to establish a College in South Calcutta, to cater to the needs of migrant refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan."
