Kalinagar Mahavidyalaya was founded in 1985 on the first day of the month of May, in one of the remote islands of the Sunderban. Now a world heritage site, the college stood as the sole torch bearer of higher education among the local tribals, caste Hindus and minorities. Riziculture & Pisciculture in the river ‘Betni’ is the primary occupation for most of the poverty stricken families of the island, especially after the devastating ‘AILA cyclone’.

Today as the college enters its 39th year; it looks back to a nostalgic past starting with only 47 students often hailing from first generation learner families till date, it has traversed a long way. Struggling against all odds, both natural and material, persisting even today the college tries to prepare itself for a challenging future. Formerly the college was affiliated to the University of Calcutta, now it is under the West Bengal State University, Barasat.

This Government Aided college has received both 2f & 12b affiliation from the University Grants Commission.
