'''University of Gour Banga''' is a [[Public university|public]] [[State university (India)|state university]] located in [[Malda City|Malda]], [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. It is one of the newest state universities established in 2008 by the [[Government of West Bengal]] on Act XXVI 2007.

== History ==
The university completed its establishment in 2008 by the [[Government of West Bengal]]. At present there are 23 [[Post Graduate|PG]] departments running with near about 2500 enrollment. 25 General degree colleges with enrollment of 1.50 Lakhs in [[Malda district|Malda]], [[Uttar Dinajpur]] and [[Dakshin Dinajpur]] districts, with the exception of [[Raiganj College (University College)|Raiganj University College]], are affiliated with this university. The university is situated on {{jct|NH|12|country=IND}} (old N.H. 34) near Rabindra Bhavan. The Central Bus Terminus is adjacent to the University campus. The University of Gour Banga (UGB) is established by [[West Bengal]] Act XXVI of 2007 and located at [[English Bazar]] area of [[Malda district]] in [[West Bengal]].

The UGB, with its territorial jurisdiction of all over [[Malda district|Malda]], [[Uttar Dinajpur]] and [[Dakshin Dinajpur]] districts initiated its academic activities from the academic year 2008 in keeping with the philosophy of achieving and maintaining the highest levels of academic excellence and meeting the aspiration of the socio-economically backward segments of Muslims, SC and ST which constitute more than 75 percent of the population in its catchment area.

Prof. Surabhi Bandyopadhyay, the former [[vice-chancellor]] of [[Netaji Subhas Open University]], became the first vice chancellor of the university, while the former [[Registrar (education)|registrar]] of [[University of North Bengal]], Dr. Tapash Kumar Chattopadhyay, became the first acting registrar, all in 2008.
