The history of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar College, Betai is deeply rooted in the social, economic and historical circumstances of the region. Situated in a border area of Nadia district, Betai was, until the 1970s, a relatively underdeveloped and predominantly rural settlement, with extensive areas of jungle and limited opportunities for higher education. The establishment of the College in 1973 marked a significant turning point in the educational and socio-cultural development of the locality.

The social history of Betai is closely connected with the experience of migration and displacement following the Partition of India in 1947 and the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. A considerable number of displaced families from the erstwhile East Pakistan and, subsequently, Bangladesh settled in and around the region. Many of these families faced severe economic hardship and social uncertainty, yet they nurtured a strong aspiration to provide their children with opportunities for education and a better future.
