Established in 1973, Kumaun University, nestled in Uttarakhand, emerged from the merger of two eminent government colleges, namely, D.S.B. Government P.G. College, Nainital and Almora Government P.G. College. Kumaun University earned its recognition from the University Grants Commission (UGC) in New Delhi under Section 12-B of the UGC Act, 1956. This recognition enabled the University to receive consistent support from the UGC. Over time, the University transformed from a mere institution to a leading academic beacon for thousands in the Kumaun Region of Uttarakhand.

Recognizing the diverse educational needs of Kumaun's remote areas, the State Legislature implemented the SSJ University Act (Act No. 20 of 2019). This decision led to the bifurcation of Kumaun University and the establishment of SSJ University Almora. This pivotal change was officially announced by the Uttarakhand Government on 22nd June 2020 through Order No. 168/XXXVI (3) 2020/ 771/ 2019.
