Established in 2015 amidst the tranquil environs of Lower Fagu Tea Estate, Gorubathan, District Kalimpong, Gorubathan Government College occupies a unique position at the intersection of West Bengal, Sikkim, and Bhutan, approximately 650 km away from Kolkata, the state capital. At its inception, the college filled a critical void in the region by becoming the first rural-based institution in the district. Prior to its establishment, students from the lower Himalayan belt and tea gardens faced daunting challenges, with town-based colleges located up to 70 km away, and exacerbating communication barriers and economic constraints.

In its brief yet impactful journey spanning nine years, Gorubathan Government College has emerged as a beacon of educational opportunity and social change. By bringing higher education to rural households and marginalized communities, the college has played a pivotal role in transforming the socio-economic landscape of North Bengal.
