About us

SRI SITARAM VAIDIC MAHAVIDYALAYA was established in 1948 by His Holiness Sri Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath Dev. SRI SITARAM VAIDIC MAHAVIDYALAYA used to impart instructions in courses prescribed by Vangiya Samskrita Siksha Parishad leading to the title of Kavyatirtha etc.

On 20.03.1997 Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan was pleased to declare a wing of the Institution as an Adarsha Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya under the relevant scheme of the Ministry, paving the path, thereby, for emergence of a strong centre of excellence of Indological studies in Kolkata.

In 2001 the Sashi Parisat of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan decided to take a decision to convert the Institution into a Full-fleged Kendriya Vidyapeeth under Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, Government of India (vide letter no.37011/98-99/Admn/415/473 dated 10.06.2001).

The State Government i.e. Govt. of West Bengal also gave a 'No Objection Certificate' in this regard. In 2002, the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan was declared as "Deemed-to-be-University" and the existing Kendriya Vidyapeeth became campuses of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan.

A fresh move to upgrade the Institution and make it a Campus of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan started in the light of new rules and regulations. In the new effort the duly filled up proforma with detailed enclosures were submitted to Ministry of HRD and fees for the inspection visit of UGC was submitted to UGC. With this conversion the College will become the Calcutta Campus of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan.
