The University of Kalyani, established in 1960, is a collegiate public research university located in Kalyani, West Bengal, India.

History[edit | edit source]
The university was established on 1 November 1960 by 'The Kalyani University Act 1960' of the Government of West Bengal. The University of Kalyani is a State University and its activities are guided by 'The Kalyani University Act, 1981 (amended up to 2001)', enacted by the Government of West Bengal. The Act is supplemented by 'Statutes', 'Ordinances', 'Regulations' and 'Rules'. This act replaced 'The Kalyani University (Temporary Suppression) Act, 1978', which in turn replaced 'The Kalyani University Act, 1960'. The University Grants Commission accorded recognition to the university.[8][9][10]
Campus[edit | edit source]
The university is placed in an Urban areas setting touching the boundaries of some green Rural areas. The eastern bank of the Ganges is only 2000 meters from the University and its serene background is only 50 km from Kolkata. It is close to Kalyani Ghoshpara railway station, 10 minutes walking distance to Administration Building from the station, and the other campuses are around it. During the Second World War this land was under the control of the American army who maintained an Army depot here.[11] Few roadways and other constructions are still there to prove that past history. The Campus spans over a huge area of 400 acres (largest State University of West Bengal based on area).

The Vice-chancellor is the chief executive officer and the principal academic and administrative head of the university. The Vice-chancellor is appointed by the Governor of West Bengal in the capacity of Chancellor, in accordance with the provisions of The Kalyani University Act.
