== History ==
[[File:Krishnath_college.jpg|thumb|Krishnath college]]

The college was established in 1853 by [[Maharani Swarnamoyee]] Devi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chemistryatkncollege.webs.com/history.htm|publisher=Department of Chemistry, Krishnath College|title=History – Krishnath College|access-date=4 October 2017}}</ref> The college was named for her husband, Maharaja Krishnath Roy of [[Cossimbazar]].
