History[edit]
The college was established in 1853 by Maharani Swarnamoyee Devi.[7] The college was named for her husband, Maharaja Krishnath Roy of Cossimbazar. In 1841, Maharaja Krishnath received his zamindary (a jurisdiction assigned to a zamindar) and had the dream of establishing an academic institution. Following her husband's death, Swarnamoyee gave as a gift both land and money, saving the college from financial crisis.[8] Mr. Harrison became the first Principal of the college.[9] The famous Indian Scholar and writer Brajendra Nath Seal developed the infrastructure of the college.
