==History==
Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education at [[Rahara, Kolkata|Rahara]] is a constituent unit of its parent organization, '''Ramakrishna Mission Boys’ Home''',<ref>[https://belurmath.org/ramakrishna-mission-boys-home-rahara-kolkata/ RKM Boys’ Home - The Branch Centre of Belur Math]</ref> Rahara. The Ashrama was founded on the 1st September, [[1944]], as an orphanage for giving shelter and education to the hapless boys rendered orphans due to the disastrous infamous ''Bengal Famine of 1942-43''<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943/ wikipage of Bengal famine_1943]</ref>. A handful of monks led by Swami Punnyanandaji Maharaj of Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission initially set up the Ashrama as a students’ home; but gradually it spread its wings in the fields of education and formed an educational complex around the Ashrama of which our College is an integral part.
 The College was established on the 17th February, [[1961]] as Ramakrishna Mission Boys’ Home Post Graduate Basic Training (PGBT) College. Two years later in [[1963]] the College was renamed as Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda Post Graduate Basic Training (PGBT) College after the holy name of ''Srimat Swami Brahmanandaji Maharaj, the first President of Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission''<ref>[https://belurmath.org/past-presidents/swami-brahmananda/ Swami Brahmananda - The Short Biography]</ref>. The College building was opened on 8th August, 1962 by ''Revered Swami Madhavanandaji Maharaj, the 9th President of Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission''<ref>[https://belurmath.org/past-presidents/swami-madhavananda/ Swami Madhavananda - The Short Biography]</ref> and it started functioning under the direct control of the Education Directorate, [[Government of West Bengal]]. As a PGBT College it has a glorious past.
 Since the academic session of [[1999]]-[[2000]], Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda PGBT College was converted to a teachers’ training college (B.Ed.) and has been renamed as Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education after being affiliated to the [[University of Calcutta]].<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Calcutta/ wikipage of Calcutta University]</ref> In compliance with the notification of the Government of West Bengal No. 300-Edn (U)/EH/IU-38/08 dated 26.05.2008, the College was affiliated to The West Bengal State University, Barasat, from the academic session of [[2008]]-[[2009]].
 Since the academic session of [[2016]]-[[2017]] the College has been affiliated to The West Bengal University of Teachers’ Training, Education Planning and Administration (WBUTTEPA). The university has been renamed as Baba Saheb Ambedkar Education University (BSAEU) since [[2022]].
 Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education was recognised as a Study Centre of [[Netaji Subhas Open University]]<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netaji_Subhas_Open_University/ wikipage of Netaji Subhas Open University]</ref> (Centre Code: BOAW-11) for conducting ODL B.Ed. (with 179 students) in 2013-14. It was also a Study Centre of West Bengal Board of Primary Education for conducting ODL D.EL.Ed. one-year Bridge Course for in-service teachers (with 92 students) in 2013 and ODL D.EL.Ed. for Upper Primary teachers (with 99 students) in 2015-2017.
