Hazi A. K. Khan College is the lone representative institution of Higher Education at Hariharpara, a Community Developing Block within Berhampore Sub-Division of Murshidabad District in West Bengal with a population of 2, 57,571 (Census, 2011), where minorities form 80.70%. The catchment area of the educational institutes here, include adjacent agricultural locale at large, with a little proportion of small scale industrial area. The Block was endowed with a considerable number of Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Institutions. But no institution was there to cater further education for the young aspirant stakeholders; predominantly the girls.

The idea was initially conceived by a local visionary, fond of education; honourable Hazi Abdul Kader Khan who donated 1.82 acre of land to set up a college with a dream to explore dreams of thousands, who had to travel a long way to acquire higher education or to discontinue it midway.
